Explosions could result in death or serious injury:
Installation of this transmitter in an explosive environment must be in accordance with the appropriate
local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices. Please review the Product
Certifications section for any restrictions associated with a safe installation.
• Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphe re, ensure the in stru ment s are
installed in accordance with intrinsically safe field wiring practices.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions.
This device may not cause harmful interference. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device must be installed to ensure a minimum antenna separation distance of 8 in. (20 cm) from
all persons.
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 a potential electrostatic
charging hazard.
Polymer enclosure has surface resistivity greater than one gigaohm. Care must be taken during
transportation to and from the point of installation to prevent a potential electrostatic charging hazard.
Shipping considerations for wireless products:
The unit was shipped to you without the Power Module installed. Please remove the Power Module
prior to shipping the unit.
Each Power Module 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 IATA
(International Air Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil A viation 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. Please consult current regula tions and
requirements before shipping.

WIRELESS CONSIDERATIONS
Power Up Sequence
The Smart Wireless Gateway should be installed and functioning properly before any
wireless devices are powered. Install the Power Module, Smart Wireless 701PGNKF into
the 708 to power the device. This results in a simpler and faster network installation.
Enabling Active Advertising on the Gateway ensures that new devices are able to join the
network faster. For more information see the Smart Wireless Gateway Manual (Document
No. 00809-0200-4420).
Antenna Position
The antenna is internal to the acoustic transmitter. To achieve optimal range, orient the
transmitter with the waveguide horizontal and the Power Module closest to the ground as
shown in Figure 1. Good connectivity can also be achieved in other orientations. The
antenna should also be approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from any large structure, building, or
conductive surface to allow for clear communication to other devices.
Figure 1. Antenna Position
Field Communicator Connections
The Power Module needs to be installed in the device for the Field Communicator to
interface with the 708. This transmitter uses the Green Power Module; please order model
number 701PGNKF. Field communication with this device requires a HART-based Field
Communicator using the correct 708 DD. Field Communicator connections are located on
the Power Module. The Power Module is keyed and can only be inserted in one orientation.
Refer to Figure 2 for instructions on connecting the Field Communicator to the 708.

The acoustic transmitter is connected directly to the piping that is being measured.
Rosemount 708
Mounting
1. Locate the 708 on a horizontal section of piping as close as possible to the equipment to
be monitored. Align the waveguide of the transmitter as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.
2. The mounting location should be free of foreign matter and corrosion to ensure good
contact between the piping and the waveguide.
3. Tighten each clamp to 90 in-lb (10.2 N-m). Trim the excess clamp band material to
prevent unwanted acoustic noise.
4. If commissioning the device, install the green Power Module (see Figure 5).
5. Ensure that the Power Module cover is fully tightened to prevent moisture ingress. The
lip of the polymer Power Module cover should be in contact with the surface of the
polymer enclosure to ensure a proper seal. Do not over tighten.
