4.1 Overview
This section provides information on configuring, troubleshooting, operating, and maintaining the
Rosemount
™
3144P Temperature Transmitter using FOUNDATION
™
Fieldbus Protocol. There are many
common attributes with the HART
®
transmitter, and if the information cannot be found in this section,
refer to Section 3: HART Commissioning.
4.2 Safety messages
Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the
personnel performing the operations. Information that potentially raises safety issues is indicated by a
warning symbol ( ). Refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation preceded
by this symbol.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Do not remove the connection head cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is live.
Before powering a FOUNDATION Fieldbus segment in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the
instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring
practices.
Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous
locations certifications.
All connection head covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.
