WARNING
Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
• Ensure the transmitter is installed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable code of practice.
• Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
• For installations in hazardous locations, the transmitter must be installed according to the Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS
Product Certifications document and System Control Drawing (D7000002-885).
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
• Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
• Before connecting a handheld communicator in an explosive atmosphere, ensure the instruments are installed in accordance
with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
• In Explosion-proof/Flameproof and Non-Incendive/Type n installations, do not remove the transmitter covers when power is
applied to the unit.
• Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet Explosion-proof/Flameproof requirements.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
• In Explosion-proof/Flameproof and Non-Incendive/Type n installations, avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High

• Ensure the mains power to the transmitter is off and the lines to any other external power source are disconnected or not
powered while wiring the transmitter.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
• Ensure that the transmitter is handled carefully. If the process seal is damaged, gas might escape from the tank.
Any substitution of non-recognized parts may jeopardize safety. Repair (e.g. substitution of components) may also jeopardize
safety and is not allowed under any circumstances.
• Unauthorized changes to the product are strictly prohibited as they may unintentionally and unpredictably alter performance
and jeopardize safety. Unauthorized changes that interfere with the integrity of the welds or flanges, such as making
additional perforations, compromise product integrity and safety. Equipment ratings and certifications are no longer valid on
any products that have been damaged or modified without the prior written permission of Emerson. Any continued use of
product that has been damaged or modified without the written authorization is at the customer’s sole risk and expense.
