1.3 Electrical considerations
Before making any electrical connections to the Rosemount 8750W, consider
national, local and plant electrical installation requirements. Be sure to have the
proper power supply, conduit, and other accessories necessary to comply with
these standards.
Both remotely and integrally mounted transmitters require external power so
there must be access to a suitable power source.
1.4 Environmental considerations
To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid extreme temperatures and excessive
vibration. Typical problem areas:
high-vibration lines with integrally mounted transmitters
tropical/desert installations in direct sunlight
outdoor installations in arctic climates
Remote-mounted transmitters may be installed in the control room to protect
the electronics from the harsh environment and to provide easy access for
configuration or service.
