Nuclear qualification
The products described in this document are NOT designed for nuclear-qualified applications. Using
non-nuclear qualified products in applications that require nuclear-qualified hardware or products may
cause inaccurate readings. For information on Rosemount™ nuclear-qualified products, contact an
Emerson Sales Representative.
Wireless Gateway
The Location Anchor and all other wireless devices should be installed only after the Wireless Gateway
has been installed and is functioning properly. Wireless devices should also be powered up in order of
proximity from the Wireless Gateway, beginning with the closest. This will result in a simpler and faster
network configuration. Use caution when making changes to the TCP/IP network settings. If they are
lost or entered incorrectly, the Gateway will require a factory reset. Contact your network
administrator for information on the proper TCP/IP network settings.
Hazardous substance
Individuals handling products exposed to hazardous substances can avoid injury if they are informed of
and understand the hazard. If the returned product was exposed to a hazardous substance as defined
by OSHA, a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each hazardous substance identified
must accompany the returned goods.
Shipping considerations
The Location Anchor unit was shipped with the battery installed. Each Location Anchor contains one
“D” size primary lithium battery. Primary lithium batteries are regulated in transportation by the U. S.
Department of Transportation and are also covered by the International Air Transport Association
(IATA), International Civil Aviation Organization (CAO), and European Ground Transportation of
Dangerous Goods (ARD). It is the shipper’s responsibility to ensure compliance with these or any other
local requirements. Consult current regulations and requirements before shipping. The polymer
enclosure has surface resistivity greater than one giga-ohm. Take care during transportation to and
from the configuration point to prevent a potential electrostatic charging hazard.

Location Awareness tags and anchors use lithium batteries and are subject to local, state, national,
and/or international requirements. Lithium batteries may ignite, explode or release toxic and harmful
materials or chemicals if mishandled. Do not use a battery that is damaged. Do not incinerate
batteries. Do not crush, disassemble, heat batteries above 100 °C (212 °F) or expose contents to water.
Please check and comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international regulations before
transporting, disposing or recycling lithium batteries. Do not recharge anchor battery. Do not use
Anchor battery that has been dropped. Use of damaged equipment can be dangerous and could result
in injury. Properly dispose of damaged Anchor batteries or Tags immediately. Do not place the
Location Awareness Anchor, anchor battery, or the Location Tag device near fire or heat to reduce the
risk of explosion and possible injury.
Installation considerations
Only qualified personnel should perform the installation. Verify the operating atmosphere of the
transmitter is consistent with applicable hazardous area certifications. Reference the Product
Certifications section of this manual for information regarding hazardous certification. This Location
Anchor must be installed to ensure a minimum antenna separation distance of 20 cm (8 in.) from all
persons.
WARNING
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
Ensure only qualified personnel perform installation or service.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
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.
Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous
locations certifications.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to an/or misconfiguration of end
users' equipment. This could be intentional or unintentional and needs to be protected against.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and fundamental to protecting your
system. Restrict physical access by unauthorized personnel to protect end user's assets. This is true for
all systems used within the facility.

1 Overview
WARNING
Location Awareness devices and services are meant to augment, not
replace, safety and security measures within a plant and must not be used as
the sole method of locating or tracking personnel within a customer’s
facility. Even when properly installed and maintained, and when working as
intended, location position information will only be provided every 32
seconds (or longer depending on system configuration). Location Awareness
devices and services cannot detect if a user has fallen.
In addition, structures within a plant, including moveable heavy equipment
or other changes made after the initial installation, can prevent or delay
detection and impact accuracy. Location Awareness devices and services can
also experience a loss or delay of signal as a result of software or hardware
malfunction, or as a result of interruption or limitation of services by third
party networks. Inform employees or contractors about the features and
limitations of the Location Awareness System before allowing use.

4.2 Wireless considerations
Power-up sequence
The Wireless Gateway should be installed and functioning properly before
any wireless devices are powered. Battery is already installed in the Location
Anchor. Move power switch to "ON" position to power up. This results in a
simpler and faster network configuration. Enabling Active Advertising on the
Gateway ensures new devices are able to join the network faster. For more
information, see the Wireless Gateway Reference Manual.
Antenna position
The antenna is internal to the Location Anchor. To achieve optimal range
and performance, position the Location Anchor with the stem in a horizontal
position as shown in Figure 4-1. Good connectivity can also be achieved in
other orientations. The antenna should also be approximately 1 m (3 ft.)
from any large structure, building, or conductive surface, and a minimum of
2 m (6 ft.) and maximum of 4 m (13 ft.) from the ground to allow for clear
communication to other devices. Refer to best practices for additional
information on optimal mounting locations of the Location Anchor.
