December 2021 Quick Start Guide

1 Introduction

The Rosemount 848T is optimized for process temperature measurement
because it can simultaneously measure eight separate and independent
temperature points with one transmitter. You can connect multiple
temperature sensor types to each transmitter. In addition, the Rosemount
848T can accept 4-20 mA inputs. The enhanced measurement capability of
the Rosemount 848T allows it to communicate these variables to any
FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus host or configuration tool.

1.1 About this guide

This guide provides basic guidelines for the Rosemount 848T Temperature
Transmitter. It does not provide instructions for detailed configuration,
diagnostics, maintenance, service, troubleshooting. Refer to the Rosemount
848T Reference Manual for more instruction. The manual and this guide are
also available electronically on Emerson.com/Rosemount.

1.2 Hazard messages

Physical access

NOTICE

Unauthorized personnel can potentially cause significant damage and/or
misconfiguration of end users' equipment. Protect against all intentional or
unintentional unauthorized use.

Physical security is an important part of any security program and
fundamental to protecting your system. Restrict physical access to protect
users' assets. This is true for all systems used within the facility.

1.3 Safety messages

Read this manual before working with the product. For personal and system
safety, and for optimum product performance, ensure you thoroughly
understand the contents before installing, using, or maintaining this
product.

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 manual for any
restrictions associated with a safe installation.

Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make
sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically
safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.

WARNING

Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or
serious injury.

Ensure the transmitter is installed by qualified personnel and in accordance
with applicable code of practice.

WARNING

Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.

Do not remove the thermowell while in operation.

Install and tighten thermowells and sensors before applying pressure.

WARNING

Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.

If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault or
installation error occurs, high voltage may be present on transmitter leads
and terminals.

Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.

CAUTION

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference.

• This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

• This device must be installed to ensure a minimum antenna separation

distance of 7.9 in. (20 cm) from all persons.

NOTICE

Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged.

The power module may be replaced in a hazardous area. The power module
has surface resistivity greater than one gigaohm and must be properly
installed in the wireless device enclosure. Care must be taken during
transportation to and from the point of installation to prevent electrostatic
charge build-up.

Shipping considerations for wireless products.

• The unit was shipped to you without the power module installed.

Remove the power module prior to any re-shipping.

• Each power module contains two “C” size primary lithium batteries.

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 ARD (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
