September 2020 Quick Start Guide
1 About this guide
This Quick Start Guide provides basic guidelines for the Rosemount 2160.
Refer to the Rosemount 2160 Reference Manual for more instructions. The
manual and this guide are also available electronically at Emerson.com/
Rosemount.
NOTICE
Power module considerations.
• Each Power Module contains two "C" size primary lithium/thionyl chloride
batteries. Each battery contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for
a total of 5 grams in each pack. Under normal conditions, the battery
materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the batteries
and the pack integrity are maintained. Care should be taken to prevent
thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be protected
to prevent premature discharge.
• Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged.
• Use caution when handling the power module. The Power Module may
be damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 ft. (6 m).
• Power modules should be stored in a clean and dry area. For maximum
battery life, storage temperature should not exceed 86 °F (30 °C).
• The power module may be replaced in a hazardous area. The power
module has surface resistivity greater than one gigaohm and must be
properly installed in the wireless device enclosure. Care must be taken
during transportation to and from the point of installation to prevent
electrostatic charge build-up.
Shipping considerations for wireless products.
• The unit was shipped to you without the power module installed.
Remove the power module prior to shipping.
• Each power module contains two “C” size primary lithium batteries.
Primary lithium batteries are regulated in transportation by the U. S.
Department of Transportation, and are also covered by IATA
(International Air Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil
Aviation Organization), and ARD (European Ground Transportation of
Dangerous Goods). It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure
compliance with these or any other local requirements. Consult current
regulations and requirements before shipping.

WARNING
Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in
death or serious injury.
• Ensure the level detector is installed by qualified personnel and in
accordance with applicable code of practice.
• Use the level detector only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so
may impair the protection provided by the level detector.
• The weight of a level detector with a heavy flange and extended fork
length may exceed 37 lb. (18 kg). A risk assessment is required before
carrying, lifting, and installing the level detector.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
• Verify that the operating atmosphere of the level detector is consistent
with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
• Before connecting a handheld communicator in an explosive
atmosphere, ensure that the instruments in the loop 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 housing covers when power is applied to the level
detector.
• Both housing covers must be fully engaged to meet flameproof/
explosion-proof requirements.
WARNING
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
• Ensure the level detector is handled carefully. If the process seal is
damaged, gas might escape from the vessel (tank) or pipe.

WARNING
Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to and/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 users’ assets. This is true for all
systems used within the facility.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces
The flange and process seal may be hot at high process
temperatures.
Allow to cool before servicing.
