3.2 Installation considerations
The Rosemount
™
2230 Graphical Field Display can be installed either on the tank roof or at the foot of
the tank for a flexible and convenient read-out of tank data.
The Rosemount 2230 is designed for mounting on a wall or a pipe. It is important to provide space for
opening the weather protection lid which prevents degradation of the LCD display due to sunlight
exposure.
Consider the following when finding an appropriate location for the Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field
Display:

Mount the Rosemount 2230 in a location where it is protected from excessive sunlight. This will reduce
exposure to ultra violet (UV) radiation and extend the life-time of the LCD.

In case the LCD can not be protected from sunlight and UV radiation, it is recommended that the
weather protection lid (see “Rosemount 2230 components” on page 8 ) is closed whenever the
Rosemount 2230 is not used.

An external weather protection is recommended to protect the LCD from sunlight and UV radiation in
order to extend its life-time. A weather protection can be sourced locally or ordered from factory.

When mounting the Rosemount 2230 display ensure that sufficient space is provided for opening the
lid, see Figure 3-1 .
