2 Description and specifications
2.1 Features and applications
The 5081 includes the following features:
General: The Rosemount 5081 Explosion-Proof Transmitter is a loop powered device with a
robust design that serves several industrial, commercial, and municipal applications. It
offers a local operator interface (LOI) that can display values from a single measurement
input. This transmitter is compatible with a multitude of analytical sensors.
Analytical measurements: ph/ORP, contacting conductivity, toroidal conductivity,
dissolved oxygen, ozone, and chlorine
Maintenance features: Automatic 2 point buffer calibration routine, automatic recognition
of RTD, and sensor diagnostics
Diagnostics: Continuous monitoring of sensor performance along with warnings and fault
messages to alert the user of failures
Enclosure: Explosion-proof and corrosion resistant
