Wireless
Considerations
Power Up Sequence
The power module should not be installed on any wireless device until the
Smart Wireless Gateway (“Gateway”) is installed and is functioning properly.
Wireless devices should also be powered up in order of proximity to the
Gateway, beginning with the closest. This will result in a simpler and faster
network installation. Enable Active Advertising on the Gateway to ensure that
new devices join the network faster. For more information, see the
Smart Wireless Gateway Manual (Document Number 00809-0200-4420).
Antenna Position
The antenna should be positioned vertically, either straight up or straight
down, and it should be approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from any large structure,
building, or conductive surface to allow for clear communication to other
devices.
Environmental
Considerations
The Rosemount 2160 is a wireless liquid level switch, and is Intrinsically Safe
(IS) approved for hazardous area installations.
NOTE:
Approvals are listed in Section B of this reference manual.
This wireless liquid level switch is designed for open or closed tanks, and pipe
installation. It is weatherproof and protected against the ingress of dust, but
must be protected from flooding. Avoid installing the 2160 near heat sources.
