Shipping considerations for wireless products:
The unit was shipped to you without the Black Power Module installed. Please remove the
power module prior to shipping.
Each power module contains two “C” size primary lithium batteries. These 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 Aviation
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 regulations and requirements before shipping.
The power module with the wireless unit contains two “C” size primary lithium/thionyl chloride
batteries. Each battery contains approximately 2.5 grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams in each
pack. Under normal conditions, the battery materials are self-contained and are not reactive as
long as the batteries and the pack integrity are maintained. Care should be taken to prevent
thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be protected to prevent premature
discharge.
Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged.
Batteries should be stored in a clean and dry area. For maximum battery life, storage temperature
should not exceed 86 °F (30 °C).

ABOUT THE 2160
Switch Overview The Rosemount 2160 Wireless is a wireless liquid point level switch.
Based on vibrating short fork technology, the 2160 is suitable for virtually all
liquid applications:
• Vir tually unaf fected by flow, bubbles, turbulence, foam, vibration, solids
content, coating, properties of the liquid, and product variations
• Operation in extreme temperatures of –94 to 500 °F (–70 to 260 °C)
• No need for calibration and requires minimum installation procedures
• No moving p arts or crevices means virtually no maintenance
• Electronic self-checking and condition monitoring
• Programmable switching delay for turbulent or splashing applications
• Short fork length with extensions up to 118 in. (3 m)
• “Fast Drip” fork design gives quick response time
• General area and Intrinsically Safe options
This combination of features makes the 2160 an ideal choice for a wide
variety of challenging applications in the chemical, power generation, and oil
and gas industries.

Rosemount 2160
January 2013
Measurement Principle The Rosemount 2160 is designed using the principle of a tuning fork.
A piezo-electric crystal oscillates the forks at their natural frequency . 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 2160 switch is used as a high level alarm, the liquid rises in the
tank or pipe making contact with the fork, causing the output state to switch to
a Wet condition.
The output state, along with other parameters , are regularly transmitted over
a secure wireless connection to a Smart Wireless Gateway.
Short Fork Technology The natural frequency (~1400Hz) of the fork avoids interference from plant
vibration that may cause false switching. This allows for minimum intrusion
into the tank or pipe through the use of a short fork.
Using Short Fork Technology, the Rosemount 2160 can be used in almost all
liquid applications. Extensive research has maximized the operational
effectiveness of the fork design, making it suitable for most liquids including
coating liquids, aerated liquids, and slurries.
Special Features Instrument Health Monitor and Continuous Self-Check
The 2160 continuously performs instrument health diagnostics to self-check
the condition of the fork and sensor. These diagnostics can detect damage to
the forks including corrosion, internal or external damage to the forks, and
breakages to the internal wiring.
See “Operation Mode” on page 2-9 for further information.
Fork Design
The “fast drip” fork design draws liquid away from the fork tips, and together
with a short switching delay , allows the 2160 to react quickly and with greater
sensitivity to density variations.
Battery Powered
The 2160 is powered by an integral battery. The fork sensor requires very little
power and the battery life remains long even with fast update rates.
See “Battery Installation” on page 3-6 for further information.
Adjustable Time Delay
There is also a user-selectable time de lay to virtually eliminate the risk of false
switching in turbulent or splashing applications.
See “Sensor Output Delay” on page 2-10 for further information.

Rosemount 2160
Application Examples
For most liquids, including coating, aerated liquids and slurries, the fun ction is
virtually unaffected by flow, turbulence, bubbles, foam, vibration, solid
particles, build-up, or properties of the liquid.
See Figure 1-5 on page 1-8 for application examples.
The 2160 switch can be used in hazardous (IS) or non-hazardous (safe)
areas but supports higher process temperatures up to 500 °F (260 °C).
The switch can be mounted in almost any position in an open or closed tank
or pipe. There is a wide range of threaded, flanged, or hygienic connections.
Application Considerations:
• Ensure the process is operating within the instrument op er a ting
temperature and pressure ranges (see “Specifications” on page A-1)
• Ensure the liquid viscosity is within the recommended viscosity range
(see “Specifications” on page A-1)
• Check that the liquid density is higher than 31.2 lb/ft
(see “Specifications” on page A-1)
• Check for risk of build-up on the forks
Avoid situations where drying and coating products may create
excessive build-up (see Figure 1-2)
• Ensure there is no risk of ‘bridging’ the forks
Examples of products that can create bridgin g of forks are dense p aper
slurries and bitumen
• Check the solids content in the liquid
3
(500 kg/m3)
Figure 1-2.
Avoid Product Build-up
As a guideline, the maximum solid particle diameter in the liquid is
0.2 in. (5 mm). Extra consideration is needed when dealing with
particles bigger than 0.2 in. (5 mm). Consult the factory for advice.
• Problems may occur if product coats and dries causing caking.
• In almost all cases, the 2160 is insensitive to foams (i.e. does not see
the foam).
However in rare occasions, some very dense foams may be seen as
liquid; a known example of this is found in ice-cream and orange juice
manufacturing.

Application Examples
Overfill Protection
Spillage caused by overfilling can be hazardous to people and the environment, resulting in
lost product and potentially high clean up costs.
High and Low Level Alarm
Maximum and minimum level detection in tanks containing different types of liquids are ideal
applications. The Rosemount 2160 is robust and operates continuously across the
temperature range of –94 to 500 °F (–70 to 260 °C) and operating p ressures of up to 1450 psig
(100 barg), making it perfect for use as a high or low level alarm. It is common practice to have
an independent high level alarm switch as a backup to an installed level device in case of
primary failure.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4160, Rev AD
January 2013
Pump Control (Limit Detection)
Batch processing tanks often contain stirrers and agitators to ensure mixing and product
‘fluidity’. The standard user-selectable time delay, from 0 to 3600 seconds, virtually eliminates
the risk of false switching from splashing.
Pump Protection or Empty Pipe Detection
With the fork projecting only 2 in. (50 mm) (dependant on connection type), the 2160 can be
installed in small diameter pipes. Short forks mean minimum intrusion on the wetside and
allow for simple, low cost installation at any angle into pipes or tanks. The 2160 is ideal for
reliable pump control and can be used to protect against pumps running dry.
Extreme Temperature Applications
The 2160***E is designed for extreme temperatures and is suitable for continuous operation
within the temperature range of –94 to 500 °F (–70 to 260 °C).
Hygienic Applications
With the highly polished forks option providing a surface finish (Ra) better than 0.4 µm, the
2160 meets the most stringent hygienic requirements used in food and beverage, and
pharmaceutical applications.

REQUIRED BENCH TOP CONFIGURATION
Bench top configuration requires a Field Communicator, AMS, or any
Wireless Communicator.
Bench top configuration consists of testing the transmitter and verifying
transmitter configuration data. The 2160 can be configured before or after
installation (field hook-up). However, configuring the 2160 on the bench
before installation ensures that all network settings are working correctly.
When using a Field Communicator , any configuration ch anges made must be
sent to the 2160 by using the “Send” key (F2). AMS configuration changes are
implemented when the “Apply” button is clicked.
Squawk Feature The 2160 feature called “Squawk” can be used to visually identify an
individual 2160 in a wireless network. This can be a useful check during the
configuration and commissioning of multiple 2160 transmitters.
To find out more about this feature, see “How to Use Squawk” on page 4-4.

Sensor Output Delay When the 2160 detects a change in process conditions from wet-to-dry or
Fast Keys
2, 2, 2, 1, 2
dry-to-wet, the Sensor Output Delay parameter causes a delay of up to 3600
seconds before a new process condition is indicated in the process variables.
If, for example, there are waves in a tank, then the 2160 may intermittently
detect a change in process conditions. The sensor output delay ensures that
the 2160 fork is dry or wet for a period before switching.
Depending on the application, a suitable delay can prevent const ant switching
of the output state.
NOTE
The delay re-starts each time a change in process conditions is detected.
To change or view the sensor output delay:
1. From the Home screen, select 2: Configure.
2. Select 2: Manual Setup.
