3 Considerations before installation
The Rosemount 3100 Series may be used for level and volume measurement
in open or closed tanks, or open channel flow measurement.
The glass-filled nylon housing version of the transmitter must be installed in
a location where it is protected from ultraviolet radiation to prevent long
term degradation of the plastics used (e.g., shrouded from direct sunlight).
Note
See also Product Certifications for special conditions for safe use.
3.1 Safety considerations
• Installation must be carried out by suitably trained personnel in
accordance with the applicable code of practice.
• If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive
substances, it is the responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions
that prevent it from being adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type
of protection is not compromised.
• Aggressive substances are acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals
or solvents that may affect polymeric materials.
• Suitable precautions are regular checks as part of routine inspections, or
establishing, from the material's data sheet, that it is resistant to specific
chemicals.
• The equipment must only be cleaned with a damp cloth; do not use
solvents.
• The equipment is not intended to be repaired by the user and is to be
replaced by an equivalent certified unit. Repairs should only be carried
out by the manufacturer or approved repairer.
• The transmitter is double insulated, and therefore Protective Earthing is
not required. The cable shield/screen should be connected to a suitable
ground (earth) at one end only (see Connecting the cable(s) to the
transmitter).
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection afforded by the equipment may be impaired.
• To ensure electro-magnetic compatibility in any European member
state, it should not be installed in a residential area.
• It is not advisable to mount the transmitter near to a source of electrical
noise such as a variable-speed drive or other high-powered electrical
device.
