with FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, see Reference Manual.
The Rosemount 3051C Coplanar design is offered for differential pressure (DP), gage
pressure (GP), and absolute pressure (AP) measurements. The Rosemount 3051C utilizes
Emerson Process Management capacitance sensor technology for DP and GP
measurements. Piezoresistive sensor technology is utilized in the Rosemount 3051T and
3051CA measurements.
The major components of the Rosemount 3051 are the sensor module and the electronics
housing. The sensor module contains the oil filled sensor system (isolating diaphragms, oil
fill system, and sensor) and the sensor electronics. The sensor electronics are installed
within the sensor module and include a temperature sensor (RTD), a memory module, and
the capacitance to digital signal converter (C/D converter). The electrical signals from the
sensor module are transmitted to the output electronics in the electronics housing. The
electronics housing contains the output electronics board, the optional local operator
interface (LOI) buttons, and the terminal block.
revision
DB
For the Rosemount 3051C design pressure is applied to the isolating diaphragms, the oil
deflects the center diaphragm, which then changes the capacitance. This capacitance
signal is then changed to a digital signal in the C/D converter. The microprocessor then
takes the signals from the RTD and C/D converter calculates the correct output of the
transmitter.

Configuration guidelines
The Rosemount 3051 can be configured either before or after installation. Configuring the
transmitter on the bench using the LOI or Class 2 Master ensures that all transmitter
components are in working order prior to installation.
ConfigurationReference Manual
April 202000809-0100-4797
To configure on the bench, required equipment includes a power supply, an LOI (option
M4) or a Class 2 Master with DP/PA coupler, proper cable and terminators.
Verify the Security hardware jumper is set to the OFF position in order to proceed with
configuration. See Figure 4-2 for jumper location.
2.4.1Profile 3.02 identification number adaptation mode
Rosemount 3051 PROFIBUS Profile 3.02 devices are set to Identification Number
Adaptation mode (0127) when shipped from the factory. This mode allows the transmitter
to communicate with any PROFIBUS Class 1 Master with either the generic Profile GSD
(9700) or Rosemount 3051 specific GSD (4444).
2.4.2Block modes
When configuring a device with the LOI, the output status will change to Good – Function
Check to alert hosts that the transmitter is not in standard operation mode.
When configuring a device with a Class 2 Master, blocks must be set to Out of Service
(OOS) to download parameters that could affect the output. This prevents the Class 1
Master from seeing a jump in output without a status change. Setting the blocks OOS and
back into Auto might be done automatically using the Class 2 Master when using the
Rosemount 3051 DD or DTM™, if no additional action is required when configuring the
device. Verify the block mode is set back to Auto.
2.4.3
Configuration tools
The Rosemount 3051 can be configured using two tools: LOI and/or Class 2 Master.
The LOI requires option code M4 to be ordered. To activate the LOI, push either
configuration button located under the top tag of the transmitter. See Table 2-1 and
Figure 2-1 for operation and menu information. See Local Operator Interface (LOI) Menu
for a complete LOI menu tree.
Class 2 Masters require either DD or DTM files for configuration. These files can be found at
Emerson.com/Rosemount or by contacting Emerson representative. Some configurations
steps may need to be completed in offline mode or using the LOI.
The remainder of this section covers the configuration tasks using the applicable
configuration tool.
Note
Instructions in this section use the language found in the Class 2 Master or LOI. See to
cross reference parameters between the Class 2 Master, LOI and PROFIBUS specification.

3Hardware Installation
3.1Section overview
The information in this section covers installation considerations for the Rosemount
3051 Pressure Transmitter with PROFIBUS® PA Protocol. A Quick Start Guide is shipped
with every transmitter to describe pipe-fitting, wiring procedures and basic configuration
for initial installation.
3.2Safety messages
Procedures and instructions in this section may require special precautions to ensure the
safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that raises potential safety
issues is indicated by a warning symbol ( ). Refer to the following safety messages before
performing an operation preceded by this symbol.
WARNING
™
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Installation of this transmitter in an explosive environment must be in accordance with the
appropriate local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices. Review the
approvals section of this Reference Manual for any restrictions associated with a safe
installation.
In an explosion-proof/flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter covers
when power is applied to the unit.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can
cause electrical shock.
3.3Considerations
Measurement accuracy depends upon proper installation of the transmitter and impulse
piping. Mount the transmitter close to the process and use a minimum of piping to
achieve best accuracy. Also, consider the need for easy access, personnel safety, practical
field calibration, and a suitable transmitter environment. Install the transmitter to
minimize vibration, shock, and temperature fluctuation.
Important
Install the enclosed pipe plug (found in the box) in unused conduit opening with a
minimum of five threads engaged to comply with explosion-proof requirements. For
tapered threads, install the plug wrench tight. For material compatibility considerations,
Emerson.com/Rosemount21
Hardware InstallationReference Manual
April 202000809-0100-4797
see Material Selection and Compatibility Consideration Technical Note on Emerson.com/
Rosemount.
3.3.1Mechanical considerations
Steam service
For steam service or for applications with process temperatures greater than the limits of
the transmitter, do not blow down impulse piping through the transmitter. Flush lines
with the blocking valves closed and refill lines with water before resuming measurement.
Side mounted
When the transmitter is mounted on its side, position the coplanar flange to ensure proper
venting or draining. Mount the flange as shown in Mounting requirements, keeping drain/
vent connections on the bottom for gas service and on the top for liquid service.
3.3.2
Environmental considerations
Best practice is to 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). Mount the transmitter so that it is not susceptible to vibration and
mechanical shock and does not have external contact with corrosive materials.
3.4Installation procedures
3.4.1Mount the transmitter
For dimensional drawing information, refer to Dimensional drawings.
Process flange orientation
Mount the process flanges with sufficient clearance for process connections. For safety
reasons, place the drain/vent valves so the process fluid is directed away from possible
human contact when the vents are used. In addition, consider the need for a testing or
calibration input.
Housing rotation
To improve field access to wiring or to better view the optional LCD display:
Procedure
1. Loosen the housing rotation set screw using a 5/64 -in. hex wrench.
2. Turn the housing left or right maximum up to 180° from its original position.

Conduit entry threads
For NEMA® 4X, IP66, and IP68 requirements, use thread seal (PTFE) tape or paste on male
threads to provide a watertight seal.
Environmental seal for housing
Thread sealing (PTFE) tape or paste on male threads of conduit is required to provide a
water/dust tight conduit seal and meets requirements of NEMA Type 4X, IP66, and IP68.
Consult factory if other Ingress Protection ratings are required.
For M20 threads, install conduit plugs to full thread engagement or until mechanical
resistance is met.
Always ensure a proper seal by installing electronics housing cover(s) so that metal
contacts metal. Use Rosemount O-rings.
Mounting brackets
Rosemount 3051 may be panel-mounted or pipe-mounted through an optional mounting
bracket. Refer to Table 3-1 for the complete offering and see Figure 3-2 through Figure 3-6

Flange bolts
Emerson can ship the Rosemount 3051 with a coplanar flange or a traditional flange
installed with four 1.75-in. flange bolts. Mounting bolts and bolting configurations for the
coplanar and traditional flanges can be found in Bolt installation. Stainless steel bolts
supplied by Emerson are coated with a lubricant to ease installation. Carbon steel bolts do
not require lubrication. Do not apply additional lubricant when installing either type of
bolt. Bolts supplied by Emerson are identified by their head markings.

lubricant to ease installation. However, no additional lubricant should be applied when
installing either type of bolt.
Procedure
1. Finger-tighten the bolts.
2. Torque the bolts to the initial torque value using a crossing pattern (see Table 3-2
for torque values).
3. Torque the bolts to the final torque value using the same crossing pattern.
