Quick Start Guide
NOTICE
This guide provides basic guidelines for Rosemount 3051 Transmitters. It does not provide instructions for
configuration, diagnostics, maintenance, service, troubleshooting, Explosion-proof, Flameproof, or intrinsically
safe (I.S.) installations. Refer to the Rosemount 3051 HART Revision 5 and 7
Reference Manual
for more
instruction. This manual is also available electronically on
Emerson.com/Rosemount
.
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. Review the approvals section of the Rosemount
3051
Reference Manual
for any restrictions associated with a safe installation.
Before connecting a HART-based communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in
the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
In an Explosion-proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter covers when power is applied
to the unit.
Process leaks may cause harm or result in death.
To avoid process leaks, only use the O-ring designed to seal with the corresponding flange adapter.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and the terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause
electrical shock.
Conduit/cable entries
Unless marked, the conduit/cable entries in the transmitter housing use a
1
/
2
–14 NPT thread form.
Entries marked “M20” are M20
⫻
1.5 thread form. On devices with multiple conduit entries, all entries will
have the same thread form.
Only use plugs, adapters, glands, or conduit with a compatible thread form when closing these entries.
