PRELIMINARY
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury:
• Only qualified personnel should perform the installation
Explosions could result in death or serious injury:
Installation of this transmitter in an explosive environment must be in accordance with the
appropriate local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices. Please review
the Product Certifications section for any restrictions associated with a safe installation.
• Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, ensure the
instruments are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field
wiring practices
Process leaks may cause harm or result in death:
• Do not remove the transmitter while in operation
• Install device prior to process start-up
• Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury:

NOTICE
Power Module Considerations
Each Power Module 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.
Power modules should be stored in a clean and dry area. For maximum battery life, storage
temperature should not exceed 30° C.
The Power Module may be replaced in a hazardous area. The Power Module has surface
resistivity greater than one gigaohm and must be properly installed in the wireless device
enclosure. Care must be taken during transportation to and from the point of installation to
prevent electrostatic charge build-up.
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 the unit.
Each Power Module contains two "C" size primary lithium/thionyl chloride batteries. Primary
lithium 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
