1.3Considerations
1.3.1General
Electrical temperature sensors such as RTDs and thermocouples produce low-level signals
proportional to the sensed temperature. The Rosemount 148 converts the low-level sensor
signal to a standard 4–20 mA DC signal that is relatively insensitive to lead length and electrical
noise. This current signal is transmitted to the control room via two wires.
Section 1: Introduction
April 2014
1.3.2Mechanical
Location
Take into account the need for access to the transmitter when choosing an installation location.
Special mounting
Special hardware is available for mounting a Rosemount 148 head mount transmitter to a DIN
rail.
1.3.3Electrical
Proper electrical installation is necessary to prevent errors due to sensor lead resistance and
electrical noise. For best results, shielded cable should be used in electrically noisy
environments.
Make wiring connections through the cable entry in the side of the connection head. Be sure to
provide adequate clearance for cover removal.
1.3.4Environmental
The transmitter electronics module is permanently sealed within the housing, resisting
moisture and corrosive damage. Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is
consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.

Temperature effects
The transmitter will operate within specifications for ambient temperatures between -40 °F and
185 °F (-40 °C and 85 °C). Heat from the process is transferred from the thermowell to the
transmitter housing. If the expected process temperature is near or above specification limits,
consider using additional thermowell lagging, and extension nipple, or a remote mounting
configuration to isolate the transmitter from the process.
Figure 1-1 provides an example of the relationship between transmitter housing temperature
rise and extension length.

length.
4
Example
The transmitter specification limit is 85 °C. If the ambient temperature is 55 °C and the process
temperature to be measured is 800 °C, the maximum permissible connection head temperature
rise is the transmitter specification limit minus the ambient temperature (moves 85 °C to 55 °C),
or 30 °C.
In this case, an extension of 100 mm meets this requirement, but 125 mm provides a margin of
8 °C, thereby reducing any temperature effects in the transmitter.

2.4.1Failure mode
As part of normal operation, each transmitter continuously monitors its own performance. This
automatic diagnostics routine is a timed series of checks repeated continuously. If diagnostics
detect an input sensor failure or a failure in the transmitter electronics, the transmitter drives its
output to low or high alarm depending on the failure mode configuration. If the sensor (process)
temperature value is out of range, the transmitter outputs default saturation values. Low end
saturation levels are either 3.90 or 3.80 mA and the high end saturation level is 20.5 mA.
Corresponding NAMUR compliant operation levels are 3.80 and 20.5 mA. These values are also
custom configurable by the factory or using the Rosemount 148 PC Programmer interface. See
“
Section 3: Configuration” on page 19 for instructions on how to change the alarm and saturation
levels with the 148 PC Programmer.
Note
Microprocessor failures cause high alarm regardless of alarm direction (high or low) choice.
The values to which the transmitter drives its output in failure mode depend on whether it is
configured to standard, NAMUR-compliant, or custom operations. See (
NAMUR-compliant operation parameters.
2.5Wiring
All power to the transmitter is supplied over the signal wiring. Use ordinary copper wire of
sufficient size to ensure that the voltage across the transmitter power terminals does not drop
below 12.0 V DC. Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations certifications. Use extreme caution when making contact with
the leads and terminals.
★) for standard and
Installation
If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault condition or installation error
occurs, the sensor leads and transmitter terminals could carry lethal voltages. Use extreme
caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
