3.3 Installation considerations
The Rosemount 2460 System Hub may be installed on various non-hazardous locations at the plant.

In case the system hub is exposed to long periods of sunshine, a sunshade should be used to prevent
the system hub from being heated to temperatures above the maximum operating temperature.
Sunshade is to be manufactured and designed locally to suit the installation.

Ensure that environmental conditions are within specified limits as listed in Appendix A: Specifications
and Reference Data .

Ensure that the system hub is installed such that it is not exposed to higher pressure and temperature
than specified in Appendix A: Specifications and Reference Data .

Do not install the system hub in non-intended applications, for example environments where it may be
exposed to extremely intense magnetic fields or extreme weather conditions.

Use an external circuit breaker in order to make sure that power supply can be safely disconnected
when wiring and servicing the system hub. The circuit breaker shall be easily accessible and
appropriately labeled.

In case devices from other vendors will be connected to the system hub, ensure that correct modem
cards are installed for the field ports that will be used.

Ensure that the correct firmware version is used. Table 3-1 shows which firmware versions that support
various communication options and features.
Table 3-1. Firmware Versions and Features

Ensure that TankMaster version 6.B6 or higher is used for Rosemount 2460 configuration.
