Reference Manual
Failure to install proper flange adapter O-rings may cause process leaks, which can result in
death or serious injury. The two flange adapters are distinguished by unique O-ring grooves.
Only use the O-ring that is designed for its specific flange adapter, as shown below.
• Explosions can result in death or serious injury. Before connecting a communicator in an
explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance
with intrinsically safe or nonincendive field wiring practice.
• Process leaks can cause death or serious injury. Install and tighten all four flange
bolts before applying pressure, or process leakage may result. Attempting to remove
the flange bolts while the transmitter is in service may cause process fluid leaks.
• All explosion-proof, flameproof, and dust-ignition-proof installations require insertion
of conduit plugs in all unused openings with a minimum of 40 ft-lb (54 N-m) of
torque. This will maintain five full threads of engagement.
• When adding a meter option to a Rosemount 1151 with an Option Code R1 terminal
block, make sure to change to cemented meter covers with a glass window. Make
sure a sticker is located inside the cover that indicates a “cemented cover.” This
cover is required to maintain explosion-proof approval.
• Explosions can cause death or serious injury. Do not remove the instrument cover in
explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.
• Explosions can cause death or serious injury. To meet hazardous location
requirements, any transmitter with a tag specifying Option Codes I5, I1, N1, I8, I7, or
N7 requires an intrinsically safe analog display (Part Nos. 01151-2614-0004 through
0009) or an LCD Display (Part Nos. 01151-1300-1000,01151-1300-1001).

GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
Transmitter Access
Requirements
The accuracy of a flow, pressure, or level measurement depends on proper
installation of the transmitter and impulse piping. The piping between the
process and transmitter must accurately transmit process pressure to the
transmitter. Mount the transmitter close to the process and use a minimum of
piping to achieve best accuracy. However, keep in mind the need for easy
access, safety of personnel, practical field calibration, and a suitable
transmitter environment.
In general, install the transmitter so as to minimize vibration, shock, and
temperature fluctuations.
Installations in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processes may require
sanitary seals and fittings. Regulations may dictate special installation
requirements to maintain sanitation and cleanability. See
www.emersonprocess.com for more information about sanitary pressure
instruments.
When choosing an installation location and position, take into account the
need for access to the transmitter.
Process Flange Orientation
Orient the process flanges to enable process connections to be made. For
safety reasons, orient the drain/vent valves so that process fluid is directed
down and away from technicians when the valves are used. This can be
accomplished by pointing the hole in the outside valve body downward and
away.
Housing Rotation
Do not rotate the transmitter housing more than 90 degrees without disconnecting the
header board. Exceeding 90 degrees rotation will damage the internal sensor module
wiring.
The electronics housing is designed to be rotated up to 90 degrees in order to
provide field access to the two housing compartments. (If rotating the housing
more than 90 degrees is necessary, follow the transmitter disassembly
procedures in Section 5: Troubleshooting.) To rotate the housing up to 90
degrees, loosen the housing lock nut and turn the housing not more than 90
degrees.
NOTE
Seal module threads with Loctite
(see Connecting the Electrical Housing to the Sensor on page 5-7.)
Terminal Side of
Electronics Housing
The terminal side is marked on the nameplate located on the side of the
transmitter. Mount the transmitter so that the terminal side of the housing is
accessible by providing:

Reference Manual
00809-0100-4360, Rev BA
August 2008
Rosemount 1151
If practical, provide approximately 6 inches clearance so that a meter may be
installed later.
Circuit Side of
Electronics Housing
The circuit compartment should not routinely need to be opened when the unit
is in service. However, provide 6 inches clearance, if possible, to allow access
to the integral zero and span buttons or for on-site maintenance. The circuit
side of the housing is marked on the nameplate located on the side of the
transmitter.
Exterior of Electronics Housing
The Rosemount 1151 Smart Pressure Transmitter uses the same housing as
the Rosemount 1151 Analog. For this reason, integral span and zero
screws—non-functional on the Rosemount 1151 Smart Pressure
Transmitter—are located under the nameplate on the side of the transmitter.

MOUNTING
CONSIDERATIONS
Mounting Requirements
(for Steam, Liquid, Gas)
The Rosemount 1151 Pressure Transmitter weighs 12 lb. (5.4 kg) without a
meter and 15 lb. (6.8 kg) with a meter. This weight must be securely
supported. The transmitter is calibrated in an upright position at the factory. If
this orientation is changed during mounting, the zero point will shift by an
amount equivalent to the liquid head caused by the mounting position. For
Smart Transmitters, follow “Because a zero trim must be zero-based, it
generally should not be used with Rosemount 1151 Smart Absolute Pressure
Transmitters. Absolute pressure transmitters reference absolute zero. To
correct mounting position effects on a Rosemount 1151 Smart 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.” on page 4-5 to
correct this shift. For Analog Transmitters, follow “Zero and Span Adjustment”
on page 4-15 to correct this shift.
NOTE
Do not plug the low side with a solid plug. Plugging the low side will cause an
output shift.
The following information applies to steam, liquid, and gas installations.
Taps
Tap placement is dependent on the type of process being measured, and on
whether the transmitter has side drain/vent valves:
•For liquid flow measurement, place taps to the side of the line to
prevent sediment deposits, and mount the transmitter beside or below
these taps so gases can vent into the process line and away from the
transmitter.
•For gas flow measurement, place taps in the top or side of the line and
mount the transmitter beside or above the taps so liquid will drain away
from the transmitter.
•For steam flow measurement, place taps to the side of the line with the
transmitter mounted below them to ensure that the impulse piping stays
filled with condensate.
•For transmitters with side drain/vent valves, place taps to the side of
the line.
2-8
See Figure 2-4 for a diagram of these arrangements.
Reference Manual
NOTE
For steam service do not blow down impulse piping
through transmitter. Flush lines with blocking valves closed
and refill lines with water before resuming measurement.

Drain/Vent Va lves
Drain/vent valve orientation is also dependent on the process being
measured:
•For liquid service, mount the side drain/vent valve upward to allow the
gases to vent.
•For gas service, mount the drain/vent valve down to allow any
accumulated liquid to drain.
To change the drain/vent valve orientation from top to bottom, rotate the
process flange 180 degrees.
Impulse Piping
The piping between the process and the transmitter must accurately transfer
the pressure in order to obtain accurate measurements. In this pressure
transfer, there are five possible sources of error:
•Leaks
•Friction loss (particularly if purging is used)
•Trapped gas in a liquid line
•Liquid in a gas line
•Temperature-induced or other density variation between the legs
The best location for the transmitter in relation to the process pipe depends on
the process itself. Consider the following general guidelines in determining
transmitter location and placement of impulse piping:
•Keep impulse piping as short as possible.
•Slope the impulse piping at least 1 inch per foot (8 centimeters per
meter) upward from the transmitter toward the process connection for
liquid.
•Slope the impulse piping at least 1 inch per foot (8 centimeters per
meter) downward from the transmitter toward the process connection
for gas.
•Avoid high points in liquid lines and low points in gas lines.
•Make sure both impulse legs are the same temperature.
•Use impulse piping large enough to avoid friction effects and prevent
blockage.
•Vent all gas from liquid piping legs.
•For steam service, fill impulse piping with water to prevent contact of
live steam with the transmitter.
Steam or other elevated temperature processes can cause damage to the sensor. Do
not allow the temperature inside the process flanges to exceed the transmitter limit of
220 °F (104 °C).

•When using a sealing fluid, fill both piping legs to the same level.
•When purging is necessary, 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
sensor module and flanges.
•Prevent sediment deposits in the impulse piping.
•Keep the liquid head balanced on both legs of the impulse piping.

flanges are
/4–18 NPT. Flange adapters are available with standard 1/2–14
NPT Class 2 connections. The flange adapters allow users to disconnect from
the process by removing the flange adapter bolts. Use plant-approved
lubricant or sealant when making the process connections. Figure 2-2 shows
1
the distance between pressure connections. This distance may be varied ±
/8
in. (3.2 mm) by rotating one or both of the flange adapters.
On open vessels, the low-side process flange is open to atmosphere and
should be mounted with the threaded hole pointed down. On closed vessels,
this connection is used for the dry or wet leg.
High-pressure-side process connections for the Rosemount 1151LT
Transmitter are offered with 2-, 3-, or 4-in., Class 150, 300, or 600 flanges; DN
50 (PN 10-40), DN 80 (PN 25/40), or DN 100 (PN 10/16, 25/40).
Low-pressure-side process connections for the Rosemount 1151LT
Transmitter are offered with ¼–18 NPT on the flange, and ½–14 NPT on the
adapter.
O-rings:
The two styles of Rosemount flange adapters (Rosemount 1151 and
Rosemount 3051/2024/3001/3095/2051) each require a unique O-ring (see
Figure 2-5). Use only the O-ring designed for the corresponding flange
adaptor.
When compressed, PTFE O-rings tend to “cold flow,” which aids in their
sealing capabilities.
2-11
Reference Manual

Rosemount 1151
August 2008
NOTE
PTFE O-rings should be replaced if the flange adapter is removed.
Tightening the Seal:
To ensure a tight seal on the flange adapters or a three-valve manifold, first
finger-tighten both bolts, then wrench-tighten the first bolt to approximately 29
ft.-lbs (39 N-m). Wrench-tighten the second bolt to approximately 29 ft.-lbs (39
N-m).

ELECTRICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
NOTE
Make sure all electrical installation is in accordance with national and local
code requirements.
Power SupplyThe DC power supply should provide power with less than 2% ripple. The
total load is the sum of the resistance of the signal leads and the load
resistance of the controller, indicator, and related pieces. The resistance of
intrinsic safety barriers, if used, must be included. Figure 2-7 illustrates power
supply load limitations for the transmitter.
Figure 2-7. Power Supply Load
Limitations.
Conduit Installation
2-14
If all connections are not sealed, excess moisture accumulation can damage the
transmitter. Make sure to mount the transmitter with the electrical housing positioned
downward for drainage. To avoid moisture accumulation in the housing, install wiring
with a drip loop, and ensure the bottom of the drip loop is mounted lower than the
conduit connections or the transmitter housing.
Recommended conduit connections are shown in Figure 2-8.

Wiring
Rosemount 1151
Do not connect the power signal wiring to the test terminals. Voltage may burn out the
reverse-polarity protection diode in the test connection. If the test diode is destroyed,
then the transmitter can still be operated without local indication by jumping the test
terminals.
High voltage (greater than 50 V and greater than 0.005 amperes) can cause
damage to the transmitter. Do not apply high voltage to the test terminals.
The signal terminals and test terminals are located in a compartment of the
electronics housing that is separate from the transmitter electronics. The
nameplate on the side of the transmitter indicates the locations of both of
these compartments. The upper pair of terminals are the signal terminals and
the lower pair are the test terminals. The test terminals have the same 4–20
mA output as the signal terminals and are only for use with the optional
integral meter or for testing.
NOTE
An alternate location to connect an ammeter is on the set of terminals labeled
“TEST.” Connect the positive lead of the ammeter to the positive test terminal,
and the negative lead of the ammeter to the negative test terminal.
To make connections, remove the cover on the side marked “Terminal” on the
nameplate. All power to the transmitter is supplied over the signal wiring.
Connect the lead that originates at the positive side of the power supply to the
terminal marked “+” and the lead that originates at the negative side of the
power supply to the terminal marked “–”. No additional wiring is required.
Do not run signal wiring in conduit or open trays with power wiring or near
heavy electrical equipment.
For improved performance against EMI/RFI effects, refer to “Terminal Blocks”
on page 2-24 for information on transient protection terminal blocks.

GroundingUse the following techniques to properly ground the transmitter signal wiring
and case:
Signal Wiring
Do not run signal wiring in conduit or open trays with power wiring or near
heavy electrical equipment. It is important that the instrument cable shield be:
•Trimmed close and insulated from touching the transmitter housing
•Connected to the next shield if cable is routed through a junction box
•Connected to a good earth ground at the power supply end
Signal wiring may be grounded at any one point on the signal loop or may be
left ungrounded. The negative terminal of the power supply is a
recommended grounding point.
Transmitter Case
The transmitter case must be grounded in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. The most effective transmitter case grounding method is a
direct internal connection to earth ground with minimal impedance. The
transmitter case may also be grounded through the process or conduit
connections.
Internal Ground Connection: Inside the field terminals side of the
electronics housing is the internal ground connection screw. This screw is
identified by a ground symbol: .
NOTE
Grounding the transmitter case via threaded conduit connection may not
provide sufficient ground continuity.
2-16
NOTE
The transient protection terminal block (page 2-25) does not provide transient
protection unless the transmitter case is properly grounded. Use the
preceding guidelines to ground the transmitter case.
Do not run the transient protection ground wire with signal wiring as the
ground wire may carry excessive current if a lightning strike occurs.

Grounding Effects
The capacitance sensing module requires alternating current to generate a
capacitance signal. This alternating current is developed in an oscillator circuit
with a frequency of approximately 32 kHz. This signal is capacitor-coupled to
transmitter-case ground through the sensing module. Because of this
coupling, a voltage may be imposed across the load, depending on the choice
of grounding. See Figure 2-9.
Impressed voltage, which is seen as high frequency noise, will have no effect
on most instruments. Computers with short sampling times in circuits will
detect a significant noise signal, which should be filtered out by using a large
capacitor (1 μF) or by using a 32 kHz LC filter across the load. Computers that
are wired and grounded, as shown in Figure 2-9, are negligibly affected by
this noise and do not need filtering.

Open Vessels
The Rosemount 1151 was designed with an explosion-proof housing and
circuitry suitable for intrinsically safe and nonincendive operation. Factory
Mutual explosion-proof certification is standard for the Rosemount 1151
Transmitter. Individual transmitters are clearly marked with a tag indicating the
approvals they carry. Transmitters must be installed in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards to maintain these certified ratings. Refer to
“Hazardous Locations Certifications” on page B-2 for information on these
approvals.
Mount the transmitter in an environment that has minimal ambient
temperature change. The transmitter electronics temperature operating limits
are –40 to 185 °F (–40 to 85 °C). Refer to Section A: Reference Information
that lists the sensing element operating limits. Mount the transmitter so that it
is not susceptible to vibration and mechanical shock and does not have
external contact with corrosive materials.
Differential pressure transmitters used for liquid level applications measure
hydrostatic pressure head. Liquid level and specific gravity of a liquid are
factors in determining pressure head. This pressure is equal to the liquid
height above the tap multiplied by the specific gravity of the liquid. Pressure
head is independent of volume or vessel shape.
A pressure transmitter mounted near a tank bottom measures the pressure of
the liquid above.
Make a connection to the high pressure side of the transmitter, and vent the
low pressure side to the atmosphere. Pressure head equals the liquid’s
specific gravity multiplied by the liquid height above the tap.
Zero range suppression is required if the transmitter lies below the zero point
of the desired level range. Figure 2-10 shows a liquid level measurement
example.
Closed VesselsPressure above a liquid affects the pressure measured at the bottom of a
closed vessel. The liquid specific gravity multiplied by the liquid height plus
the vessel pressure equals the pressure at the bottom of the vessel.
To measure true level, the vessel pressure must be subtracted from the
vessel bottom pressure. To do this, make a pressure tap at the top of the
vessel and connect this to the low side of the transmitter. Vessel pressure is
then equally applied to both the high and low sides of the transmitter. The
resulting differential pressure is proportional to liquid height multiplied by the
liquid specific gravity.

Dry Leg Condition
Low-side transmitter piping will remain empty if gas above the liquid does not
condense. This is a dry leg condition. Range determination calculations are
the same as those described for bottom-mounted transmitters in open
vessels, as shown in Figure 2-10.
Wet Leg Condition
Condensation of the gas above the liquid slowly causes the low side of the
transmitter piping to fill with liquid. The pipe is purposely filled with a
convenient reference fluid to eliminate this potential error. This is a wet leg
condition.
The reference fluid will exert a head pressure on the low side of the
transmitter. Zero elevation of the range must then be made. See Figure 2-11.
Let X equal the vertical distance between the minimum and maximum
measurable levels (100 in.).

Bubbler System in Open Vessel
A bubbler system that has a top-mounted pressure transmitter can be used in
open vessels. This system consists of an air supply, pressure regulator,
constant flow meter, pressure transmitter, and a tube that extends down into
the vessel.
Bubble air through the tube at a constant flow rate. The pressure required to
maintain flow equals the liquid’s specific gravity multiplied by the vertical
height of the liquid above the tube opening. Figure 2-11 shows a bubbler
liquid level measurement example.
