1 About this guide
This Quick Start Guide provides basic guidelines for the Rosemount
1208C Level and Flow Transmitter. Refer to the 1208C Reference
Manual for more instructions.
1.1 Safety messages
WARNING
Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could
result in death or serious injury.
Ensure the transmitter is installed by qualified personnel and in
accordance with applicable code of practice.
Use the equipment only as specified in this Quick Start Guide and the
Reference Manual. Failure to do so may impair the protection
provided by the equipment.
Repair, e.g. substitution of components, etc. may jeopardize safety
and is under no circumstances allowed.
WARNING
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres,
disconnect power before servicing.
Before connecting a handheld communicator in an explosive
atmosphere, ensure that the instruments are installed in accordance
with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
WARNING
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury.
Handle the transmitter carefully.
Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure.
Do not attempt to loosen or remove process connectors while the
transmitter is in service.

WARNING
Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to
and/or misconfiguration of end users’ equipment. This could be
intentional or unintentional and needs to be protected against.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and
fundamental to protecting your system. Restrict physical access by
unauthorized personnel to protect end users’ assets. This is true for
all systems used within the facility.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces
The transmitter and process seal may be hot at high process
temperatures. Allow to cool before servicing.
1.2 Bracket mounting
See the documentation supplied with the bracket kit.

2. Place the flange over the gasket.
3. Tighten the bolts and nuts with sufficient torque for the flange
and gasket choice.
4. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the transmitter threads.
Note
Only for NPT threaded tank connection.

3 Prepare the electrical connections
3.1 Connector type
M12 male (A-coded)
3.2 Cable selection
Use 24-18 AWG wire (0.20-0.75 mm2). Twisted pairs and shielded
wiring are recommended for environments with high EMI
(electromagnetic interference).
3.3 Internal power consumption
< 0.8 W in normal operation
3.4 Cable shield grounding
Make sure the instrument cable shield is:
•Continuously connected throughout the segment.
•Connected to a good earth ground at the power supply end.
3.5 Power supply
The transmitter operates on 14-35 Vdc at the transmitter terminals.
3.6 Load limitations
For HART® communication, a minimum loop resistance of 250 Ω is
required. Maximum loop resistance (R) is determined by the voltage
level of the external power supply (UE):
R = 44.4 × (UE − 14)
