FAILURE MODE ALARMRosemount 3051N transmitters automatically and continuously perform
self-diagnostic routines. If the self-diagnostic routines detect a failure, the
transmitter drives its output outside of the normal saturation values. The
transmitter will drive its output low or high based on the position of the failure
mode alarm jumper. See Table 2-1 for failure mode and saturation output
levels. To select alarm position, see “Configuring Transmitter Alarm and
Security Jumper Procedure” in Section 2.
Table 2-1. Standard Alarm and
Saturation Values.
Level
4–20 mA
Saturation
4–20 mA
Alarm
Low3.9 mA≤ 3.75 mA
High20.8 mA≥ 21.75 mA
NOTE
You can alter the actual transmitter mA output values by performing an analog
output trim.
NOTE
When a transmitter is in an alarm condition, the hand-held HART
Communicator indicates the analog output the transmitter would drive if the
alarm condition did not exist. The transmitter will alarm high in the event of
failure if the alarm jumper is removed.
Alarm Level VerificationTransmitters allow verification testing of alarm current levels. If you replace
the LCD meter, reconfigure or make any changes to the transmitter, verify the
transmitter alarm level before you return the transmitter to service. This
feature is also useful in testing the reaction of your control system to a
transmitter in an alarm state. To verify the transmitter alarm values, perform a
loop test and set the transmitter output to the alarm value (see Table 2-1 and
“Loop Test” in Section 2).

CONFIGURING
TRANSMITTER ALARM
AND SECURITY JUMPER
PROCEDURE
You can prevent changes to the transmitter configuration data with the write
protection jumper. Security is controlled by the security (write protect) jumper
located on the electronics board or meter face. Position the jumper on the
transmitter circuit board in the “ON” position to prevent accidental or
deliberate change of configuration data.
If the transmitter write protection jumper is in the “ON” position, the transmitter
will not accept any “writes” to its memory. Configuration changes, such as
digital trim and reranging, cannot take place when the transmitter security is
on.
To enable this feature, see “Local Span and Zero Control (Local Keys)” in
Section 2.
To remove the magnetic buttons used to activate the local zero and span, use
a small slotted head screwdriver and pry off the small, plastic cap located
under the approval tag. Remove button assemblies and discard.
To reposition the jumpers, follow the procedure described below.
1.If the transmitter is installed, secure the loop and remove power.
2.Remove the housing cover opposite the field terminal side. Do not
remove the transmitter covers in explosive atmospheres when the
circuit is alive.
3.Reposition the jumpers as desired.
•Figure 2-1 shows the jumper positions for Electronics Boards.
•Figure 2-2 shows transmitters with an optional LCD meter.
4.Reattach the transmitter cover. Transmitter covers must be fully
engaged to meet explosionproof requirements.

COMMISSIONING THE
ROSEMOUNT 3051N
WITH A HART-BASED
COMMUNICATOR
Commissioning consists of testing the transmitter and verifying transmitter
configuration data. You may commission Rosemount 3051N transmitters
either before or after installation. Commissioning the transmitter on the bench
before installation using a HART-based Communicator ensures that all
transmitter components are in good working order and acquaints you with the
operation of the device.

Rosemount 3051N
To commission on the bench, connect the transmitter and the communicator
as shown in Figure 2-3. Make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in
accordance with intrinsically safe or nonincendive field wiring practices before
connecting a communicator in an explosive atmosphere. Connect the
communicator leads at any termination point in the signal loop. It is most
convenient to connect them to the terminals labeled “COMM” on the terminal
block. Connecting across the “TEST” terminals will prevent successful
communication. To avoid exposing the transmitter electronics to the plant
environment after installation, set all transmitter jumpers during the
commissioning stage on the bench.
For 4–20 mA transmitters, you will need a power supply capable of providing
10.5 to 55 V dc at the transmitter, and a meter to measure output current. To
enable communication, a resistance of at least 250 ohms, but within the
transmitter load limitations (see Figure 3-7 “Power Supply Load Limitations.”
in Section 3) must be present between the communicator loop connection and
the power supply. Do not use inductive-based transient protectors with the
Rosemount 3051N.

Wiring Diagrams
(Bench Hook-up)
FIGURE 2-3. Bench Hook-up
(4–20 mA Transmitters).
Whenever you are preparing to send or request data that would disrupt the
loop or change the output of the transmitter, you must set your process
application loop to manual. The HART Communicator will prompt you to set
the loop to manual when necessary. Keep in mind that acknowledging this
prompt does not set the loop to manual. The prompt is only a reminder; you
have to set the loop to manual yourself as a separate operation.
Connect the bench equipment as shown in Figure 2-3 and turn on the
HART-based Communicator by pressing the ON/OFF key. The communicator
will search for a HART-compatible device and will indicate when the
connection is made. If the communicator fails to connect, it will indicate that
no device was found. If this occurs, refer to Section 4: Troubleshooting.

NOTE
Regardless of the range points, the Rosemount 3051N will measure and
report all readings within the digital limits of the sensor. For example, if the
4 and 20 mA points are set to 0 and 10 in H
3051N, and the transmitter detects a pressure of 25 inH
the 25 inH
O reading and a 250% of span reading. However, there may be up

sensor in the sensor module. When reading this temperature, keep in mind
that this is not a process temperature reading.

Set OutputActivate the transmitter square root output option to make the analog output

proportional to flow. As the input approaches zero, the Rosemount 3051N
automatically switches to a linear output in order to ensure a more smooth,
stable output near zero. See Figure 2-5.
The transition from linear to square root is not adjustable. It occurs at 0.8% of
ranged pressure input or 8.9% of full-scale flow output.
From 0 percent to 0.6 percent of the ranged pressure input, the slope of the
curve is unity (y = x). This allows accurate calibration near zero. Greater
slopes would cause large changes in output for small changes at input. From
0.6 percent to 0.8 percent, the slope of the curve equals 42 (y = 42x) to
achieve continuous transition from linear to square root at the transition point.

Reranging using the communicator and a pressure source or process
pressure is a way of reranging the transmitter with a pressure input. When
specific 4 and 20 mA points are not known process input can be used. This
method changes the values of the analog 4 and 20 mA points.
NOTE
When you set the 4 mA point the span is maintained; when you set the 20 mA
point the span changes. If you set the lower range point to a value that causes
the upper range point to exceed the sensor limit, the upper range point is
automatically set to the sensor limit, and the span is adjusted accordingly.
To rerange using the communicator and a pressure source or process
pressure, enter the fast-key sequence above, select 2 Apply values, and
follow the on-line instructions.
NOTE
If the transmitter security jumper is in the ON position, you will not be able to
make adjustments to the zero and span. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the
appropriate placement of the transmitter security jumper.
Reranging using the local zero and span adjustments (see Figure 2-6) and a
pressure source or process pressure is a way of reranging the transmitter with
a pressure input and when a communicator is not available. When specific 4
and 20 mA points are not known process input can be used.
2-10
NOTE
When you set the 4 mA point the span is maintained; when you set the 20 mA
point the span changes. If you set the lower range point to a value that causes
the upper range point to exceed the sensor limit, the upper range point is
automatically set to the sensor limit, and the span is adjusted accordingly.

Rosemount 3051N
To rerange the transmitter using the span and zero buttons, perform the
following procedure:
1.Loosen the screw holding the label on top of the transmitter housing,
and rotate the label to expose the zero and span buttons (see Figure
2-6).
2.Using a pressure source with an accuracy three to ten times the
desired calibrated accuracy, apply a pressure equivalent to the lower
range value to the high side of the transmitter.
3.To set the 4 mA point, press and hold the zero button for at least two
seconds, then verify that the output is 4 mA. If a meter is installed, it
will display ZERO PASS.
4.Apply a pressure equivalent to the upper range value to the high side
of the transmitter.
5.To set the 20 mA point, press and hold the span button for at least two
seconds, then verify that the output is 20 mA. If a meter is installed, it
will display SPAN PASS.
NOTE
If the transmitter security jumper is in the ON position, or if the local zero and
span adjustments are disabled through the software, you will not be able to
make adjustments to the zero and span using the local buttons. Refer to
Figure 2-1 for the proper placement of the transmitter security jumper. Or refer
to “Local Span and Zero Control (Local Keys)” in Section 2 for instructions on
how to enable the span and zero buttons.
FIGURE 2-6. Local Zero and

The Local keys command allows software control over the use of the local
span and zero adjustments. To enable or disable the span and zero
adjustment buttons on your transmitter, perform the fast key sequence at left.
NOTE
Disabling the local keys does not disable all transmitter configuration
changes. With the local keys disabled, you can still make changes to the
transmitter configuration—including range values—using a HART
Communicator.
The Sensor Temperature Output Unit Selection command selects between
Celsius and Fahrenheit units for output of the sensor temperature. The sensor
temperature output is accessible via HART only.
The diagnostics and service functions listed here are primarily for use after
you install the transmitter in the field. The transmitter test feature is designed
to verify that the transmitter is operating properly, and can be performed either
on the bench or in the field. The loop test feature is designed to verify proper
loop wiring and transmitter output, and should only be performed after you
install the transmitter.

CALIBRATIONCalibrating a smart transmitter is different from calibrating an analog
transmitter. The one-step calibration process of an analog transmitter is done
in three steps with a smart transmitter:
•Rerange—sets the 4 and 20 mA points at the desired pressures;
•Sensor T rim—Adjusts the position of the factory characterization curve
to optimize the transmitter performance over a specified pressure
range or to adjust for mounting effects
•Analog Output Trim—Adjusts the analog output to match the plant
standard or the control loop.

Smart transmitters operate differently than analog transmitters. A smart
transmitter uses a microprocessor and sensor memory that contains
information about the sensor’s specific characteristics in response to pressure
and temperature inputs. A smart transmitter compensates for these sensor
variations. The process of generating the sensor performance profile is called
factory characterization. Factory characterization also provides the ability to
readjust the 4 and 20 mA points without applying pressure to the transmitter.
The trim and rerange functions also differ. Reranging sets the transmitter
analog output to the selected upper and lower range points and can be done
with or without an applied pressure. Reranging does not change the factory
characterization curve stored in the microprocessor. Sensor trimming requires
an accurate pressure input and adds additional compensation that adjusts the
position of the factory characterization curve to optimize transmitter
performance over a specific pressure range.
NOTE
Sensor trimming adjusts the position of the factory characterization curve. It is
possible to degrade the performance of the transmitter if the sensor trim is
done improperly or with inaccurate equipment. Contact Rosemount Nuclear
Instruments, Inc. at 952-949-5210 if you have questions.

1. Reconfigure parameters if necessary.
2. Zero trim the transmitter to compensate for mounting
effects or static pressure effects.
1. Reconfigure parameters if necessary.
2. Perform low trim value section of the full sensor trim
procedure to correct for mounting position effects.
Notes:
•A HART Communicator is required for all sensor and output trim procedures.
•Rosemount 3051N Range 4 and Range 5 transmitters require a special calibration procedure when used
in differential pressure applications under high static line pressure (see “Compensating Rosemount 3051N
Range 4 and 5 Differential Transmitters for Line Pressure” on page 2-20).

Rosemount 3051N
Calibration OverviewComplete calibration of the Rosemount 3051N Pressure Transmitter involves
the following tasks:
Configure the Analog Output Parameters
•Set Process Variable Units (page 2-8)
•Set Output Type – Linear or Square Root (page 2-8)
•Set the Range Points (page 2-9)
•Set Damping (page 2-12)
Calibrate the Sensor
•Full Trim (page 2-18)
•Zero Trim (page 2-17)
Calibrate the 4–20 mA Output (Digital-to-Analog [D/A]
Signal Conversion)
•4–20 mA Output Trim (page 2-19) or
•4–20 mA Output Trim Using Other Scale (page 2-19)
Figure 2-7 illustrates the Rosemount 3051N transmitter data flow. This data
flow can be summarized in four major steps:
1.A change in pressure is measured by a change in the sensor output
(Sensor Signal).
2.The sensor signal is converted to a digital format that can be
understood by the microprocessor (Analog-to-Digital Signal
Conversion).
3.Corrections are performed in the microprocessor to obtain a digital
representation of the process input (Digital PV).
4.The Digital PV is converted to an analog value (Digital-to-Analog
Signal Conversion).
Figure 2-7 also identifies the approximate transmitter location for each
calibration task. Note that the data flows from left to right, and a parameter
change affects all values to the right of the changed parameter.
Not all calibration procedures should be performed for each Rosemount
3051N transmitter. In addition, some procedures are appropriate for bench
calibration but should not be performed during field calibration. Table 2-2
identifies the recommended calibration procedures for each type of
Rosemount 3051N transmitter for both bench and field calibration.

Deciding Which Trim
Procedure to Use
Sensor TrimYou can trim the sensor using either the full trim or the zero trim function. The
2-16
To decide which trim procedure to use, you must first determine whether the
analog-to-digital section or the digital-to-analog section of the transmitter
electronics is in need of calibration. To do so, refer to Figure 2-7 and perform
the following procedure:
trim functions vary in complexity, and their use is application-dependent. Both
trim functions alter the transmitter’s interpretation of the input signal.
A zero trim is a single-point adjustment. It is useful for compensating for
mounting position effects and is most effective when performed with the
transmitter installed in its final mounting position. Since this correction
maintains the slope of the characterization curve, it should not be used in
place of a full trim over the full sensor range.
1.Connect a pressure source, a HART Communicator, and a digital
readout device to the transmitter.
2.Establish communication between the transmitter and
the communicator.
3.Apply pressure equal to the upper range point pressure (100 inH
0,
2
for example).
4.Compare the applied pressure to the Process Variable (PV) line on
the Communicator On-line Menu. IF
communicator does not match the applied pressure, and you are
confident that your test equipment is accurate, THEN
the PV reading on the

sensor trim.
5.Compare the Analog Output (AO) line on the communicator on-line
menu to the digital readout device. IF
the AO reading on the
communicator does not match the digital readout device, and you are
confident that your test equipment is accurate, THEN
perform an
output trim.

When performing a zero trim, ensure that the equalizing valve is open and all
wet legs are filled to the correct levels.
NOTE
Do not perform a zero trim on Rosemount 3051N Absolute pressure
transmitters. A zero trim is zero-based, and absolute pressure transmitters
reference absolute zero. To correct mounting position effects on a Rosemount
3051N Absolute Pressure Transmitter, perform a low trim within the full
sensor trim function. The low trim function provides a “zero” correction similar
to the zero trim function but it does not require the input to be zero-based.
A full trim is a two-point sensor calibration where two end-point pressures
are applied, and all output is linearized between them. You should always
adjust the low trim value first to establish the correct offset. Adjustment of the
high trim value provides a slope correction to the characterization curve
based on the low trim value. The factory-established characterization curve is
not changed by this procedure. The trim values allow you to optimize
performance over your specified measuring range at the calibration
temperature.
Zero TrimTo calibrate the sensor with a HART Communicator using the Zero Trim
HART Comm.1, 2, 3, 3, 1
function, perform the following procedure.
1.Vent the transmitter and attach a communicator to the measurement
loop.
2.From the communicator menu select 1 Device setup, 2 Diagnostics and service, 3 Calibration, 3Sensor trim, 1 Zero trim to prepare to
adjust the zero trim.
NOTE
The transmitter must be within 3% of true zero (zero-based) in order to
calibrate it using the zero trim function.
3.Follow the commands provided by the communicator to complete the
adjustment of the zero trim.

Full TrimTo calibrate the sensor with a HART Communicator using the full trim
HART Comm.1, 2, 3, 3
function, perform the following procedure:
1.Assemble and power the entire calibration system including a
transmitter, HART Communicator, power supply, pressure input
source, and readout device (see Figure 2-9).
NOTE
Use a pressure input source with sufficient accuracy and allow the input
pressure to stabilize for 10 seconds before entering any values.
2.From the communicator menu select 1 Device setup, 2 Diagnostics and service, 3 Calibration, 3Sensor trim, 2 Lower sensor trim to
prepare to adjust the lower trim point.
NOTE
Select pressure input values so that the low and high values are equal to or
outside the 4 and 20 mA points. Do not attempt to obtain reverse output by
reversing the high and low points. The transmitter allows approximately a
5% URL deviation from the characterized curve established at the factory.

adjustment of the lower value.
4.Repeat the procedure for the upper value, replacing 2 Lower sensor trim with 3 Upper sensor trim in Step 2.
