Introduction Using this manual The sections in this manual provide information on installing, operating, and maintaining the ® Rosemount 248 Wireless temperature transmitter with WirelessHART protocol. The sections are organized as follows: Section 2: Configuration provides instruction on commissioning and operating 248 ...
Reference Manual Section 1: Introduction 00809-0300-4248, Rev AA September 2014 Safety messages Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that potentially raises safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol ( ). Please refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation preceded by this symbol.
Considerations 1.3.1 General Electrical temperature sensors such as RTDs and thermocouples produce low-level signals proportional to their sensed temperature. With simple HART configuration, the Rosemount 248 Wireless converts the low-level sensor signal to a wireless-enabled signal. 1.3.2 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.
1.3.4 Electrical Power Module The Rosemount 248 Wireless Temperature transmitter is self-powered. The Power Module contains a primary lithium-thionyl chloride battery (Green Power Module, model number 701PGNKF). Each battery contains approximately 5 grams of lithium. Under normal conditions, the battery materials are self-contained and are not reactive as long as the battery and the Power Module are maintained.

Reference Manual Section 2: Configuration 00809-0300-4248, Rev AA September 2014 Sensor connections The 248 Wireless 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.

AMS Device Manager and AMS Wireless Configurator When configuring the Rosemount 248 Wireless using AMS Device Manager or AMS Wireless Configurator, double click the Rosemount 248 Wireless device icon (or right click and select Con/Setup), then choose the Configure Menu. AMS configuration changes are implemented when the Apply button is clicked.
Every temperature sensor has unique characteristics. In order to ensure the most accurate measurement, the Rosemount 248 Wireless should be configured to match the specific sensor that it will be connected to. Prior to installation, verify the configuration and connection settings of the temperature sensor through a Field Communicator or AMS.

Reference Manual Section 2: Configuration 00809-0300-4248, Rev AA September 2014 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(, mV) units, the combined sensor and transmitter system to a site standard using a known temperature source.
Reference Manual Section 2: Configuration 00809-0300-4248, Rev AA September 2014 Remove power module After the sensor and network have been configured, remove the Power Module and replace the module cover. The Power Module should be inserted only when the device is ready to be commissioned.
3.2.1 Power up sequence The Rosemount 248 Wireless and all other devices should be installed only after the Smart Wireless Gateway (“Gateway”) has been installed and is functioning properly. Wireless devices should also be powered up in order of proximity from the Gateway, beginning with the closest.
September 2014 Mounting The Rosemount 248 Wireless can be installed in one of two configurations: Direct Mount, where the sensor is connected directly to the 248 Wireless housing’s conduit entry, or Remote Mount, where the sensor is mounted separate from the 248 Wireless housing, then connected to the 248 Wireless via conduit.
Reference Manual Section 3: Installation 00809-0300-4248, Rev AA September 2014 3.5.1 Direct mount ® The direct mount installation should not be used when installing with a Swagelok fitting. Install the sensor according to standard installation practices. Be sure to use an approved thread sealant on all connections.
Note The Rosemount 248 Wireless and all other wireless devices should be installed only after the Smart Wireless Gateway has been installed and is functioning properly. Wireless devices should also be powered up in order of proximity from the Smart Wireless Gateway, beginning with the closest device to the Gateway.
If the device joins the network and immediately has an alarm present, it is likely due to sensor configuration. Check the sensor wiring (see “Rosemount 248 Wireless Terminal Diagram” on page 28) and the sensor configuration (see “Rosemount 248 Wireless Fast Key Sequence” on page 26). Figure 4-1. Smart Wireless Gateway Network Settings AMS Wireless Configurator When the device has joined the network, it will appear in the Wireless Configurator window as illustrated below.
