The power module with the wireless unit contains two “C” size primary lithium/thionyl chloride
batteries. Each battery contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams in each
pack. Under normal conditions, the battery materials are self-contained and are not reactive as
long as the batteries and the pack integrity are maintained. Care should be taken to prevent
thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be protected to prevent premature
discharge.
Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged.
Batteries should be stored in a clean and dry area. For maximum battery life, storage temperature
should not exceed 86 °F (30 °C).
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury
• The Rosemount 2160 is a wireless liquid level switch. It must be installed, connected,
commissioned, operated, and maintained by suitably qualified personnel only, observing
any national and local requirements that may apply
• Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the
protection provided by the equipment
Explosions could result in death or serious injury
• Installation of the 2160 in a hazardous environment must be in accordance with the
appropriate local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices.
Please review the approvals section of the 2160 Reference Manual for any restrictions
associated with an installation
• Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, ensure the
installation is in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices
• Verify that the operating atmosphere of the level switch is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations certifications
External Surface may be hot
• Care must be taken to avoid possible burns
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury
• Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure
• Do not attempt to loosen or remove process connectors while the 2160 is in service
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury
• If the liquid level switch is installed in a high voltage environment and a fault condition or
installation error occurs, high voltage may be present on leads and terminals
• Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals
• Make sure that power to the 2160 is off while making connections
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTICE
Shipping considerations for wireless products:
The unit was shipped to you without the power module installed. Please remove the power
module prior to shipping.
Each power module contains two “C” size primary lithium batteries. These batteries are
regulated in transportation by the U. S. Department of Transportation, and are also covered
by IATA (International Air Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation
Organization), and ARD (European Ground Transportation of Dangerous Goods). It is the
responsibility of the shipper to ensure compliance with these or any other local requirements.
Please consult current regulations and requirements before shipping.

SAFETY MESSAGES Procedures and instructions in this manual may require special precautions to
ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that
raises potential safety issues is indicated by a caution symbol ( ). The
external hot surface symbol ( ) is used when a surface is hot and care must
be taken to avoid possible burns. If there is a risk of an electrical shock the
( ) symbol is used. Refer to the safety messages listed at the beginning of
each section before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.
Warnings
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury
• The Rosemount 2160 is a wireless liquid level switch. It must be installed, connected,
commissioned, operated, and maintained by suitably qualified personnel only, observing
any national and local requirements that may apply
• Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the
protection provided by the equipment
Explosions could result in death or serious injury
• Installation of the 2160 in a hazardous environment must be in accordance with the
appropriate local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices.
Please review the approvals section of the 2160 Reference Manual for any restrictions
associated with an installation
• Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, ensure the
installation is in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices
• Verify that the operating atmosphere of the level switch is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations certifications
External Surface may be hot
• Care must be taken to avoid possible burns
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury
• Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure
• Do not attempt to loosen or remove process connectors while the 2160 is in service
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury
• If the liquid level switch is installed in a high voltage environment and a fault condition or
installation error occurs, high voltage may be present on leads and terminals
• Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals
• Make sure that power to the 2160 is off while making connections
