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 for more
information. This manual is also available electronically on Emerson.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. Entries
marked “M20” are M20 x 1.5 thread form. On devices with multiple conduit entries, all entries will have the same
thread form. Only use plugs, adapters, glands or conduit with compatible thread form when closing these
entries.
