Section 1 Introduction
1.1 Safety messages
Procedures and instructions in this manual 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 safety messages listed at the beginning of each
section before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.
Failure to follow safe installation and service guidelines could result in death or
serious injury.
Make sure only qualified personnel perform installation or service.
Use the equipment only as specified in this Reference Manual. Failure to do so may
impair the protection provided by the equipment.
Do not perform any services other than those contained in this manual unless you are
qualified.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Verify that the operating environment of the transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations specifications. See Product Certifications on
page 159 in this Reference Manual.
In an Explosion-proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter covers
when power is applied to the unit.
Eliminate the risk of ESD discharge prior to dismounting the transmitter head.
Probes may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge under extreme
conditions. During any type of installation or maintenance in a potentially explosive
atmosphere, the responsible person should make sure that any ESD risks are
eliminated before attempting to separate the probe from the transmitter head.
Before connecting a HART
®
-based 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.
To avoid process leaks, only use O-rings designed to seal with the corresponding
flange adapter.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads
can cause electrical shock.
Make sure the main power to the Rosemount 3300 Series Transmitter is off and the
lines to any other external power source are disconnected or not powered while wiring
the transmitter.
Temperature restrictions apply for Explosion-proof versions. For limits, see
certificate-specific information in the Product Certifications chapter in this
document.
