Power Up Sequence

The Rosemount 648 and all other wireless 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. This will result in a simpler and faster network installation. Enable Active

Advertising on the Gateway to ensure that new devices join the network faster. For more

information see the Smart Wireless Gateway Manual (Doc. No. 00809-0200-4420).

Antenna Position

The antenna should be positioned vertically, either straight up or straight down, and it should

be approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from any large structure, building, or conductive surface to allow

for clear communication to other devices.

Conduit Entry

Upon installation, ensure that each conduit entry is either sealed with a conduit plug using

approved thread sealant, or has an installed conduit fitting or cable gland with appropriate

threaded sealant.
