Safety Messages
NOTICE
This guide provides basic guidelines for Rosemount 3051 Wireless Transmitters. It does not provide
instructions for configuration, diagnostics, maintenance, service, troubleshooting or Intrinsically Safe
(I.S.) installations. Refer to the for more instruction. This manual is also available electronically on
Emerson.com/Rosemount.
Shipping considerations for wireless products:
The unit was shipped to you without the power module installed. Remove the power module prior to
shipping the unit.
Each power module contains one “D” size primary lithium-thionyl chloride battery. Primary lithium
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 ADR (European Ground Transportation of Dangerous Goods). It is the responsibility
of the shipper to ensure compliance with these or any other local requirements. Consult current
regulations and requirements before shipping.
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 the
Rosemount Reference Manual for any restrictions associated with a safe installation.Before connecting
a handheld communicator in an explosive atmosphere, ensure that the instruments in the loop are
installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
To avoid process leaks, only use the O-ring designed to seal with the corresponding flange adapter.
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.
Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to and/or misconfiguration of end
users’ equipment. This could be intentional or unintentional and needs to be protected against.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and fundamental to protecting your
system. Restrict physical access by unauthorized personnel to protect end users’ assets. This is true for
all systems used within the facility.

1 Wireless considerations
1.1 Power up sequence
The power module should not be installed on any wireless device until the
Emerson Wireless Gateway (Gateway) is installed and functioning properly.
This transmitter uses the green power module (order model number
701PGNKF). 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 that new devices join the network faster. For more
information, see the Emerson Wireless Gateway Reference Manual.
1.2 Connecting the transmitter with a Field Communicator
In order for the Field Communicator to interface with the transmitter, the
power module must be connected. This transmitter uses the green power
module (order model number 701PGNKF). Figure 1-1 shows how to connect
the Field Communicator to the transmitter. Open the power module
compartment to hook up the leads.

2.1.4 Bolting consideration
If the transmitter installation requires assembly of the process flanges,
manifolds, or flange adapters, follow the assembly guidelines to ensure a
tight seal for optimal performance characteristics of the transmitters.
Use only bolts supplied with the transmitter or sold by Emerson as spare
parts. Figure 2-10 illustrates common transmitter assemblies with the bolt
length required for proper transmitter assembly.

Bolts are typically carbon steel or stainless steel. Confirm the material by
viewing the markings on the head of the bolt and referencing Table 2-1. If
bolt material is not shown in Table 2-1, contact a local Emerson
representative for more information.
Carbon steel bolts do not require lubrication, and the stainless steel bolts are
coated with a lubricant to ease installation. However, do not apply additional
lubricant when installing either type of bolt.
