4.2.1 Replacing an RTD
Note
For RTD replacement of the Compact Annubar Flowmeters, see Reference Manual (document
number 00809-0100-4810).
Direct mount
If an RTD needs to be replaced on a direct mounted Annubar Flowmeter, proceed as follows:
Explosions can result in death or serious injury.
Do not remove the instrument cover in explosive environments when the circuit is live.
Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet
explosion-proof requirements.
Before connecting a communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the
instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or
nonincendive field wiring practices.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and the terminals.
