• Under the Process Temperature Setup heading, edit the Units and Damping value as
needed.
• Select the Temperature Mode under the Process Temperature Setup heading. See
Table 2-12.
Table 2-12: Temperature Modes
Temperature mode Description
Normal The transmitter will only use the actual measured Process Temperature value. If the
temperature sensor fails, the transmitter will put the analog signal into Alarm.
Backup The transmitter will use the actual measured Process Temperature value. If the
temperature sensor fails, the transmitter will use the value shown in the Fixed/
Backup Temperature field.
Fixed The transmitter will always use the temperature value shown in the Fixed/Backup
Temperature field.
Note
Process Temperature Mode Setup only applies to transmitters with fully compensated
mass and energy flow feature board.
• The Sensor Limits and Minimum Span can be viewed under the Process Temperature
Sensor Limits heading. The upper and lower sensor limits may be edited as needed.
The Rosemount 3051SMV accepts Callendar-Van Dusen constants from a calibrated RTD
schedule and generates a special custom curve to match that specific sensor Resistance
vs. Temperature performance. Matching the specific sensor curve with the transmitter
configuration enhances the temperature measurement accuracy.
