1.0Rosemount 2160 Overview
The Rosemount 2160 Wireless Vibrating Fork Level Switch (“level switch”) uses
vibrating short fork technology, and is suitable for virtually all liquid applications.
The level switch is designed to use the principle of a tuning fork. A piezo-electric
crystal oscillates the forks at their natural frequency (~1400 Hz). Changes to this
frequency are continuously monitored. The frequency of the vibrating fork sensor
changes depending on the medium in which it is immersed. The denser the liquid,
the lower the frequency.
When used as a low level alarm, the liquid in the tank or pipe drains down past the
fork, causing a change of natural frequency that is detected by the electronics and
switches the output state to a dry condition. When the level switch is used as a high
level alarm, the liquid rises in the tank or pipe, making contact with the fork which
then causes the output state to switch to a wet condition.
The switch output state, along with other parameters, are regularly transmitted over
a secure wireless connection to a Smart Wireless Gateway (“gateway”).

2.0Before Installation
2.1General considerations
The level switch is available as an intrinsically safe version for hazardous area
installations. There are ordinary location versions for unclassified, safe areas.
The weight of the level switch with a heavy flange and extended fork length may
exceed 37 lb. (18 kg). A risk assessment is required to be done before carrying,
lifting, and installing the level switch.
Handle the Rosemount 2160 with great care (Figure 2).
This level switch is designed for open or closed tank and pipe installation.
It is weatherproof and protected against the ingress of dust, but must be
protected from flooding (Figure 3).

OK
Quick Start Guide
Mount the switch so that the battery side is accessible.
Clearance of 2
On the circuit side of the electronics housing, provide 0.75 in. (19 mm) of
clearance for units without an LCD display. Three inches of clearance is required
for cover removal if an LCD display is installed.
The housing can be rotated for optimal viewing of the optional LCD display and to
get the best antenna position (see “Housing rotation (optional)” on page 5).
Always ensure a proper seal by installing the electronics housing cover(s) so that
metal contacts metal. Use Rosemount O-rings.
Always ground the housing in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
The most effective grounding method for the housing is a direct connection to
earth ground with minimal impedance.
3
/8 in. (60 mm) is required for cover removal.
2.2Installation recommendations
Avoid installing near liquid entering the tank at the fill point.
Avoid heavy splashing on the forks.
Avoid installing near heat sources.
Ensure the fork does not come into contact with a tank/pipe wall or fittings.
Allow a distance between product build-up and level switch fork (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Avoid Product Build-up
2.3Housing rotation (optional)
1. Loosen the housing rotation set screw (Figure 5 on page 6).
2. First rotate the housing clockwise to the desired location. If the desired location
cannot be achieved due to the thread limit (up to 360°), rotate the housing
counter-clockwise to the desired location. Do not over twist.
3. Re-tighten the housing rotation set screw.

3.0Wireless Preparation
3.1Power-up sequence
The power module should not be installed on any wireless device until the Smart
Wireless Gateway (“gateway”) is installed and functioning properly. This level switch
uses the black power module. Order model number 701PBKKF.
Wireless devices should also be powered up in order of proximity from the gateway,
beginning with the closest. This will result in a simpler and faster network
installation. Enable Active Advertising on the gateway to ensure new devices join the
network faster.
For more information, see the Smart Wireless Gateway Manual
June 2017
.
3.2Antenna position
The antenna should be positioned vertically, either straight up or straight down, and
should be approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from any large structure or building to allow for
clear communication to other devices.
4.0Physical Installation
1. Install the level switch according to standard installation practices, making sure
to correctly align the fork using the alignment notch or groove (Figure 4).
2. Use supports for extended fork lengths greater than 3.2 ft. (1 m).
Refer to the Rosemount 2160 Reference Manual
3. Close the housing cover and tighten to safety specification. Always ensure a
proper seal so that metal touches metal, but do not over tighten.
4. Insulate the level switch with ROCKWOOL
Reference Manual
5. Position the antenna such that it is vertical, either straight up or down.
6. Plug in the power module after the gateway is installed and functioning
(Figure 7 on page 8).

5.0Configuration
Note
The Power Module needs to be installed before the Field Communicator can interface with
the Rosemount 2160.
5.1Wireless configuration
To communicate with the Smart Wireless Gateway (“gateway”), and ultimately the
host system, the level switch must be configured to communicate with the wireless
network. This step is the wireless equivalent of connecting wires from a level switch
to the information system.
Using a Field Communicator or AMS Wireless Configurator, enter the Network ID
and Join Key so that they match the Network ID and Join Key of the gateway and
8
other devices in the network. If the Network ID and Join Key do not match that of the
gateway, the level switch will not communicate with the network.
The Network ID and Join Key may be obtained from the gateway on the
Setup>Network>Settings page on the web interface (Figure 8 on page 9).

There are four ways to verify operation: using the local display (LCD), using the Field
Communicator, using the Smart Wireless Gateway’s integrated web interface, or by
using AMS Wireless Configurator.
6.1Local display (LCD)
During normal operation, the LCD should display the PV
value at update rate intervals of up to 1 minute (see picture,
right). Press the Diagnostic button to display the TAG,
Device ID, Network ID, Network Join Status and Device
Status screens. Refer to the Rosemount 2160 Reference
Manual for error codes and other messages.
6.2Field Communicator
To communicate with a Field Communicator, power the Rosemount 2160 by
connecting the power module and connect the Field Communicator (Figure 10). A
Rosemount 2160 DD (Device Description) is also required for HART
communication. To obtain the latest DD, visit the Emerson™ Easy Upgrade Site
