CONSIDERATIONS

General Electrical temperature sensors such as RTDs and thermocouples produce

low-level signals proportional to their sensed temperature. With simple HART
configuration, the Rosemount 648 converts the low-level sensor signal to a
wireless-enabled signal.

Commissioning The transmitter can be commissioned before or after installation. It may be

useful to commission it on the bench, before installation, to ensure proper
operation and to become familiar with its functionality. When applicable, make
sure the instruments are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or
non-incendive field wiring practices. The device will be powered whenever the
battery is installed. To avoid depleting the battery, make sure it is removed
when the device is not in use.

Mechanical Location
When choosing an installation location and position, take into account the
need for access to the transmitter. For best performance, the antenna should
be vertical with some space between objects in a parallel metal plane such as
a pipe or metal framework, as the pipes or framework may adversely affect
the performance of the antenna.

Electrical Battery
The Rosemount 648 Wireless Temperature transmitter is battery powered.
The battery pack with the wireless unit contains 2 “C” size primary
lithium/thionyl chloride batteries. Each battery contains approximately 2.5
grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams in each pack. Under normal conditions,
the battery materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the
batteries and the battery pack are maintained. Care should be taken to
prevent thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be
protected to prevent premature discharge.
Use caution when handling the battery pack. The battery pack may be
damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 feet.
Sensor
Make sensor connections through the cable entry in the side of the
connection head. Be sure to provide adequate clearance for cover removal.

Environmental Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
Temperature Effects
The transmitter will operate within specifications for ambient temperatures
between –40 and 185 °F (–40 and 85 °C). Heat from the process is
transferred from the thermowell to the transmitter housing. If the expected
process temperature is near or beyond specification limits, consider the use of
additional thermowell and extension, or remote mounting the transmitter to
thermally isolate it from the process.
Figure 1-1 provides an example of the relationship between transmitter
housing temperature rise and thermowell extension length.

Example
The transmitter specification limit is 85 °C. If the ambient temperature is 55 °C
and the max process temperature to be measured is 815 °C, the maximum
permissible connection head temperature rise is the transmitter specification
limit minus the ambient temperature (moves 85 to 55 °C), or 30 °C.
In this case, an extension of 5” meets this requirement, but 6” provides an
additional margin of thermowell protection, thereby reducing risk of ambient
thermal damage.

Sensor Connections The 648 is compatible with a number of RTD and thermocouple sensor types.
Figure 2-1 shows the correct input connections to the sensor terminals on the
transmitter. To ensure a proper sensor connection, anchor the sensor lead
wires into the appropriate compression terminals and tighten the screws.
Thermocouple or Millivolts Inputs
The thermocouple can be connected directly to the transmitter. Use
appropriate thermocouple extension wire if mounting the transmitter remotely
from the sensor. Make millivolt inputs connections with copper wire. Use
shielding for long runs of wire.
RTD or Ohm Inputs
The transmitters will accept a variety of RTD configurations, including 2-wire,
3-wire, 4-wire. If the transmitter is mounted remotely from a 3-wire or 4-wire
RTD, it will operate within specifications, without recalibration, for lead wire
resistances of up to 5 ohms per lead (equivalent to 500 feet of 20 AWG wire).
In this case, the leads between the RTD and transmitter should be shielded. If
using only two leads, both RTD leads are in series with the sensor element,
so significant errors can occur if the lead lengths exceed three feet of 20 AWG
wire (approximately 0.05 °C/ft.). For longer runs, attach a third or fourth lead
as described above.
Sensor Lead Wire Resistance Effect—RTD Input
When using a 4-wire RTD, the effect of lead resistance is eliminated and has
no impact on accuracy. However, a 3-wire sensor will not fully cancel lead
resistance error because it cannot compensate for imbalances in resistance
between the lead wires. Using the same type of wire on all three lead wires
will make a 3-wire RTD installation as accurate as possible. A 2-wire sensor
will produce the largest error because it directly adds the lead wire resistance
to the sensor resistance. For 2- and 3-wire RTDs, an additional lead wire
resistance error is induced with ambient temperature variations. The table and
the examples shown below help quantify these errors.

Table 2-1. Examples of

Approximate Basic Error Sensor Input Approximate Basic Error
4-wire RTD Negligible (independent of lead wire resistance up to 5 Ω per lead
3-wire RTD ± 1.0 Ω in reading per ohm of unbalanced lead wire resistance
(Unbalanced lead wire resistance = maximum imbalance between
any two leads.)
2-wire RTD 1.0 Ω in reading per ohm of lead wire resistance

Sensor Leads
If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault condition or
installation error occurs, the sensor leads and transmitter terminals could
carry lethal voltages. Use extreme caution when making contact with the
leads and terminals.
Use the following steps to wire the sensor and supply power to the
transmitter:
1. Remove the transmitter enclosure cover (if applicable).
2. Attach the sensor leads according to the wiring diagrams.
3. Connect the battery.
4. Verify the connection by observing the LCD.
5. Reattach and tighten the cover (if applicable).

DEVICE SENSOR Every temperature sensor has unique characteristics. In order to ensure the
CONFIGURATION most accurate measurement, the Rosemount 648 should be configured to
match the specific sensor that it will be connected to.
Begin by removing the battery-side housing cover. This will expose the
terminal block and HART communication terminals. Connect the battery to
supply power for configuration.
The Rosemount 648 will receive any HART communications from a handheld
Field Communicator, or AMS. When using a Field Communicator, any
configuration changes must be sent to the transmitter by using the Send key
(F2). AMS configuration changes are implemented when the Apply button is
clicked.
AMS Wireless and Direct Connections
AMS is capable of connecting to devices either directly, using a HART
modem, or wirelessly via the 1420. When configuring on the bench using a
HART modem, double click the device icon (or right click and select
Configure/Setup), then choose the Configure/Setup tab. Configure the device
settings using the Direct Connection menu. When configuring wirelessly via
the 1420, double click the device icon (or right click and select
Configure/Setup), then choose the Configure/Setup tab. Configure the device
settings using the Wireless Connection menu.
To check or change sensor configuration using a 375 Field Communicator,
enter the following Fast Key Sequence: 1, 3, 2, 1.
When the device configuration is 2 wire or 3 wire, terminal 4 of the device
must be left disconnected. If connected, a configuration error may be
indicated, which then prevents the device from providing process temperature
measurements.

DEVICE NETWORK In order to communicate with the 1420 Wireless Gateway, and ultimately the
CONFIGURATION Information System, the transmitter must be configured to communicate with
the wireless network. This step is the wireless equivalent of connecting wires
from a transmitter to the information system.

August 2007 Rosemount 648
Using a Field Communicator or AMS, enter the Network ID and Join Key so
that they match the Network ID and Join Key of the gateway and other
devices in the network. If the Network ID and Join Key are not identical, the
transmitter will not communicate with the network. The Network ID and Join
Key may be obtained from the 1420 Wireless Gateway on the
Setup>Network>Settings page on the web server.
The final device network configuration piece is the Update Rate. This by
default is 5 minutes. This may be changed at commissioning, or at any time
via AMS or the 1420 Wireless Gateway’s web server. The Update Rate
should be between 15 seconds and 60 minutes. For networks of up to 100
wireless devices, fastest Update Rate is 60 seconds. For networks of 50 or
fewer devices, the fastest Update Rate is 15 seconds
When device configuration is completed, remove the battery and replace the
battery cover. Tighten the cover to the proper tension for safety approvals.
To access the Network Settings using a 375 Field Communicator, enter the
following Fast Key Sequence: 1, 3, 3.

Calibration Calibrating the transmitter increases the measurement precision by allowing

corrections to be made to the factory-stored characterization curve by digitally
altering the transmitter’s interpretation of the sensor input.
To understand calibration, it is necessary to understand that smart
transmitters operate differently from analog transmitters. An important
difference is that smart transmitters are factory-characterized, meaning that
they are shipped with a standard sensor curve stored in the transmitter
firmware. In operation, the transmitter uses this information to produce a
process variable output, in engineering units, dependent on the sensor input.
Calibration of the 648 may include the following procedures:
• Sensor Input Trim: digitally alter the transmitter’s interpretation of the
input signal
• Transmitter Sensor Matching: generates a special custom curve to
match that specific sensor curve, as derived from the Callendar-Van
Dusen constants
Trim the Transmitter
One or more of the trim functions may be used when calibrating. The trim
functions are as follows:
• Sensor Input Trim
• Transmitter Sensor Matching

Sensor Input Trim

Fast Key Sequence 1, 2, 2, 1

Perform a sensor trim if the transmitters digital value for the primary variable
does not match the plant’s standard calibration equipment. The sensor trim
function calibrates the sensor to the transmitter in temperature units or raw
units. Unless your site-standard input source is NIST-traceable, the trim
functions will not maintain the NIST-traceability of the system.
The Sensor Input Trim command allows the transmitter’s interpretation of the
input signal to be digitally altered. The sensor reference command trims, in
engineering (°F, °C,°R, K) or raw (Ω, mV) units, the combined sensor and
transmitter system to a site standard using a known temperature source.
Sensor trimming is suitable for validation procedures or for applications that
require calibrating the sensor and transmitter together.
Use the following procedure to perform a sensor trim with a 648:
1. Connect the calibration device or sensor to the transmitter. Refer to
Figure 2-1 on page 2-3 or on the device terminal block for sensor
wiring diagrams.
2. Connect the communicator to the transmitter.
3. From the Home screen, select 1 Device Setup, 2 Diagnostics and
Service, 2 Calibration, 1 Sensor Trim to prepare to trim the sensor.
4. Select 1 Lower Sensor Trim or 2 Upper Sensor Trim. (Note: It is
recommended to perform lower offset trims first, before performing
upper slope trims).
5. Answer the question about using an active calibrator or not.
6. Adjust the calibration device to the desired trim value (must be within
the selected sensor limits). If a combined sensor and transmitter
system are being trimmed, expose the sensor to a known
temperature and allow the temperature reading to stabilize. Use a
bath, furnace or isothermal block, measured with a site-standard
thermometer, as the known temperature source.
7. Select OK once the temperature stabilizes. The communicator
displays the output value the transmitter associates with the input
value provided by the calibration device.
8. Select the appropriate sensor trim units at the prompt.
9. Enter the trim point.
AMS
For AMS, configure the sensor as indicated above.
Right click on the device and select “Methods>Calibrate>Sensor Calibration”
from the menu. Select “Lower Input Trim” or “Upper Limit Trim.”
The wizard will continue through the process.
The transmitter may be restored to the factory default by selecting:
“Methods>Calibrate>Sensor Calibration>Revert to Factory Trim.”
The wizard will recall the factory trim for a given sensor.

MOUNTING The Rosemount 648 can be installed in one of two configurations: Direct
Mount, where the sensor is connected directly to the 648 housing’s conduit
entry, or Remote Mount, where the sensor is mounted separate from the 648
housing, then connected to the 648 via conduit. Choose the installation
sequence that corresponds to the mounting configuration.
Figure 3-1 provides an example of the relationship between transmitter
housing temperature rise and extension length.

Example
The transmitter specification limit is 85 °C. If the ambient temperature is 55 °C
and the max process temperature to be measured is 815 °C, the maximum
permissible connection head temperature rise is the transmitter specification
limit minus the ambient temperature (moves 85 to 55 °C), or 30 °C.
In this case, an extension of 5” meets this requirement, but 6” provides an
additional margin of thermowell protection, thereby reducing risk of ambient
thermal damage.

Direct Mount The direct mount installation should not be used when installing with a
Swagelok® fitting.
1. Install the sensor/thermocouple according to standard installation
practices. Be sure to use thread sealant on all connections.
2. Attach the 648 housing to the sensor/thermocouple using the
threaded conduit entry.
3. Attach the sensor/thermocouple wiring to the terminals as indicated

Ground the Transmitter The transmitter will operate with the housing either floating or grounded.
However, the extra noise in floating systems affects many types of readout
devices. If the signal appears noisy or erratic, grounding the transmitter at a
single point may solve the problem.
The electronics enclosure should be grounded in accordance with local and
national installation codes. This can be accomplished via the process
connection, via the internal case grounding terminal, or via the external
grounding terminal.
Thermocouple, mV, and RTD/Ohm Inputs
Each process installation has different requirements for grounding. Use the
grounding options recommended by the facility for the specific sensor type, or
begin with grounding Option 1 (the most common).

Handling Considerations
The battery pack with the wireless unit contains 2 “C” size primary
lithium/thionyl chloride batteries. Each battery contains approximately 2.5
grams of lithium, for a total of 5 grams in each pack. Under normal conditions,
the battery materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the
batteries and the battery pack integrity are maintained. Care should be taken
to prevent thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Contacts should be
protected to prevent premature discharge.
Use caution when handling the battery pack. The battery pack may be
damaged if dropped from heights in excess of 20 feet.
Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged.
Environmental Considerations
As with any battery, local environmental rules and regulations should be
consulted for proper management of spent batteries. If no specific
requirements exist, recycling through a qualified recycler is encouraged.
Consult the materials safety data sheet for battery specific information.
Shipping Considerations
The unit is shipped to you without the battery installed. Unless specifically
instructed to do otherwise, remover the battery pack from the unit prior to
shipping.
Primary lithium batteries are regulated in transportation by the U.S.
Department of Transportation, and are also covered by International Air
Transport Association (IATA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO),
and European Ground Transportation of Dangerous Goods (ARD). It is the
responsibility of the shipper to ensure compliance with these or any other
local requirements. Please consult current regulations and requirements
before shipping.

(1) Change in ambient is with reference to the calibration temperature of the transmitter 68 °F (20 °C) from factory.

Transmitters can be installed in locations where the ambient temperature is between –40 and 85 °C (–40 and 185 °F). In order to maintain
excellent accuracy performance, each transmitter is individually characterized over this ambient temperature range at the factory.

Temperature Effects Example

When using a Pt 100 (α = 0.00385) sensor input at 30 °C ambient temperature:
• Digital Temperature Effects: 0.009 °C x (30 - 20) = 0.09 °C
• Worst Case Error: Digital + Digital Temperature Effects = 0.45 °C + 0.09 °C = 0.54 °C
• Total Probable Error: 2 2
0.45 + 0.09 = 0.46
