2. Before installation, note the safety warning, disposal instructions and part information on the
connectionside label of the power module.
3. With the Model 6081 front display section facing away from you, align the power module pack
with the curved surface of the pack facing towards you and the small protruding connector
facing away from you. Make sure to align the power module and its keyed connector with the
connection receptacle in the middle of the instrument’s terminal block area.
4. With gentle pressure, insert the keyed connector on the power module into the receptacle
(labeled Power Module Connection on the drawing). The power module seats in the connection
receptacle with an o-ring.
5. Confirm that the power module is fully inserted in the receptacle and properly aligned with the
surrounding terminal block.
6. Replace the rear cover of the Model 6081 with the two screws to secure it to the central
housing. Tighten screws and verify operation. Correct installation the rear cover will ensure that
the power module is properly secured to power the transmitter.
7. DO NOT RETURN SHIP THE USED POWER MODULE to Rosemount Analytical. Dispose of spent
power modules as a hazardous material in accordance with government regulations.
NOTE
A damaged or degraded o-ring may compromise the NEMA 4X rating of the unit even when the rear cover
is correctly installed. Please take care to protect the o-ring when removing and replacing the rear cover of
the transmitter.
11.6.1 Handling Considerations
The power module with the wireless unit contains 2 “C” size primary lithium/thionyl chloride
batteries. Each power module contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams
in each pack. Under normal conditions, the power module materials are self-contained and are
not reactive as long as the batteries and the power module integrity are maintained. Care should
be taken to prevent thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be protected to
prevent premature discharge. Use caution when handling the power module. The power module
may be damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 feet. Power module hazards remain
when cells are discharged.
11.6.2 Environmental Considerations
As with any battery, local environmental rules and regulations should be consulted for proper
management of spent batteries. If no specific requirements exist, recycling through a qualified
recycler is encouraged. Consult the materials safety data sheet for power module specific
information.
11.6.3 Shipping Considerations
The unit is shipped to you without the power module installed. Unless specifically instructed
to do otherwise, remover the power module from the unit prior to shipping. Primary lithium
batteries are regulated in transportation by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and are also
covered by International Air Transport Association (IATA), International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO), and European Ground Transportation of Dangerous Goods (ARD). 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.
