Quick Start Guide
NOTICE
This guide provides basic guidelines for Rosemount 2088, 2090F, and 2090P Transmitters. It does not
provide instructions for configuration, diagnostics, maintenance, service, troubleshooting,
Explosion-proof, Flameproof, or intrinsically safe (I.S.) installations. See the Rosemount 2088 Reference
Manual (document number 00809-0100-4108) for more information. This manual is also available
electronically on www.emersonprocess.com/rosemount.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Installation of these transmitters in an explosive environment must be in accordance with the appropriate
local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices. Review the approvals section of the
Rosemount 2088 Reference Manual for any restrictions associated with a safe installation.
Before connecting a HART-based communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments
in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
In an Explosion-proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter covers when power is
applied to the unit.
Process leaks may cause harm or result in death.
To avoid process leaks, only use the O-ring designed to seal with the corresponding flange adapter.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and the terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause
electrical shock.
Conduit/cable entries
Unless marked, the conduit/cable entries in the transmitter housing use a 1/2-14 NPT thread form. Only
use plugs, adapters, glands or conduit with a compatible thread form when closing these entries.
