usage, and have been tested to the standards shown below:
These transmitters are manufactured under a quality system that meets the requirements of 10CFR50
Appendix B, 10CFR Part 21, ISO 9001, NQA-1, KTA 1401, KTA 3507, CSA N285.0, CSA Z299.1 and
the applicable portions of IAEA-50-C-Q. During qualification testing, interfaces were defined between
the transmitter and its environment that are essential to meeting requirements of the qualification
standards listed above. Specifically, to ensure compliance with 10CFR Part 21, the transmitter must
comply with the requirements herein and in the applicable Rosemount qualification report(s) throughout
its installation, operation and maintenance. It is incumbent upon the user to ensure that Rosemount
Nuclear’s component traceability program is continued throughout the life of the transmitter.
To maintain the qualified status of the transmitter, the essential environmental interfaces must not be
compromised. Performance of any operations on the transmitter other than those specifically
authorized in this manual have the potential for compromising an essential environmental interface.
Where the manual uses the terms requirement, mandatory, must or required, the instructions
so referenced must be carefully followed. Rosemount Nuclear expressly disclaims all responsibility

Mount the transmitter close to the process and use a minimum
of piping to achieve best accuracy. For flow measurement,
proper installation of the primary element is also critical to
accuracy. Also, consider the need for easy access, personnel
safety, practical field calibration and a suitable transmitter
environment. Transmitter installation should minimize the
effects of temperature gradients and fluctuations, and avoid
preparing to mount the transmitter. Read this section carefully
before proceeding to the mechanical installation procedure.
Proper installation is mandatory to assure seismic

accurately transfer the pressure to obtain accurate
measurements. There are five possible sources of error:
pressure transfer (such as obstruction), leaks, friction loss
(particularly if purging is used), trapped gas in a liquid line or
liquid in a gas line and density variations between the legs.
The best location for the transmitter in relation to the process
pipe depends on the process itself. Use the following
guidelines to determine transmitter location and placement of
impulse piping:
• Keep impulse piping as short as possible.
• For liquid service, slope the impulse piping at least 1
inch per foot (8 cm per meter) upward from the
transmitter toward the process tap (see Figure 2-2 for
inch per foot (8 cm per meter) downward from the
transmitter toward the process tap (see Figure 2-2 for
details).
•Avoid high points in liquid lines and low points in gas
lines.
•Make sure both impulse legs are the same
temperature.
•Use impulse piping of large enough diameter to avoid
friction effects and blockage.
•Vent all gas from liquid piping legs and internal to
transmitter process flange.
•Drain all liquid from gas piping legs and internal to
transmitter process flange.
•When using a sealing fluid, fill both piping legs to the
same level.
•When purging, make the purge connection close to
the process taps and purge through equal lengths of
the same size pipe – avoid purging through the
transmitter.
•Keep corrosive or hot process material out of direct
contact with the transmitter.
• Prevent sediment deposits in the impulse piping.
• Keep the liquid balanced on both legs of the impulse
piping.
•Avoid conditions that might allow process fluid to
freeze within the process flange.
•Make sure the impulse piping is of adequate strength

best results. Shielded cable should be used for best results in
electrically noisy environments. Do not run signal wiring in
conduit or open trays with AC power wiring, or near heavy
electrical equipment.
For installations with EMC performance requirements, consult
the applicable EMC test reports for additional details regarding
recommended practices for electrical wiring per various
national and international codes and regulations.
The capacitance sensing element uses alternating current to
generate a capacitance signal. This alternating current is
developed in an oscillator circuit with a nominal frequency of
110 kHz +/- 11 kHz. This 110 kHz signal is capacitivelycoupled to the transmitter case ground through the sensing
element. Because of this coupling, a voltage may be imposed
across the load, depending on choice of grounding.
This impressed voltage, which is seen as high frequency
noise, has no effect on most instruments. Computers with
short sampling times in a circuit where the negative transmitter
terminal is grounded can detect a significant noise signal.
Filter this signal out by using a large capacitor (1 uf) or a 110
kHz LC filter across the load. Signal loops grounded at any
other point are negligibly affected by this noise and do not
need filtering.
Signal wiring may be ungrounded (floating) or grounded at any
one point in the signal loop.
The transmitter case may be grounded or ungrounded.
Grounding should be completed in accordance wit h nat ion al
and local electrical codes. Transmitter case can be grounded
using either the internal or external ground connection.

Where:
LRV = Lower Range Value of desired calibration

permit damping of rapid pulsations in the pressure source
through adjustment of the single turn damping adjustment
potentiometer (see Figure 3-2). When adjusted to the

least 1.20 seconds are available for 3152, 3153, and 3154

are calibrated and shipped with the adjustment set at the

Damping adjustment should be made with the transmitter
calibrated to the intended application calibration. To adjust
the damping, turn the damping adjustment potentiometer until
the desired time constant is obtained. It is best to set the
damping to the shortest possible time constant. Since
transmitter calibration is not affected by the damping setting,
damping may be adjusted with the transmitter installed on the

flange (10) was removed. Carefully place one c-ring in
each of the two weld rings located on the isolating
diaphragms of the sensor module (8) as shown in
Figure 5-12.
2. Carefully place the process flange on the sensor
module. Take care not to disturb the c-rings or
module, install two flange cap screws (13) into the
flange location shown in Figure 5-13. Install the cap
screws finger tight.
4. Place the four bolts (11) through the process flange
and screw them on finger-tight.
5. Using a hand torque wrench, evenly seat the flange
onto the sensor module by following steps 6 through 9
(see Figure 5-13 to identify the bolts).
6. Alternately tighten the four bolts in the sequence
shown in Figure 5-13 to 150 in-lbs ±15 in-lbs (16.9 Nm ± 1.7 N-m)

factors must be considered regarding maintenance of product
qualification and component traceability during on-site
instrument repair. Rosemount Nuclear rigidly controls the
manufacture of each instrument to ensure that published
performance specifications are met and qualified
configurations are maintained. For parts installed outside of
this controlled environment, Rosemount Nuclear is unable to
ensure that the specifications are being satisfied. This
responsibility is shifted to the end user. The integrity of the
instrument as originally assembled is modified.
Replacement of parts has ramifications under 10CFR21, for
which the user is responsible. These same regulations also
mandate a component traceability program, which the user
must undertake for the replacement parts. In view of this, and
to maintain the qualification of the product, the user must
ensure that all replacement parts are installed in accordance
with the Rosemount Nuclear approved installation and
