WARNING Sensor module and electronics housing Sensor module and electronics housing must have equivalent approval labeling in order to maintain hazardous location approvals. When upgrading, verify sensor module and electronics housing certifications are equivalent. Differences in temperature class ratings may exist, in which case the complete assembly takes the lowest of the individual component temperature classes (for example, a T4/T5 rated electronics housing assembled to a T4 rated sensor module is a T4 rated transmitter.)

Reference Manual Introduction 00809-0100-4002 May 2020 Introduction Using this manual This manual is designed to assist in installing, operating, and maintaining the Rosemount 1199 Diaphragm Seal Systems for Pressure Transmitters and diaphragm seal systems that are part of Rosemount DP Level Transmitters including the Rosemount 3051SAL, Rosemount 3051L and Rosemount 2051L.
Reference Manual Remote Seal Systems 00809-0100-4002 May 2020 Remote Seal Systems DP Level and remote seal system measurement DP Level is a reliable measurement solution for measuring level, density, interface, or mass of a process media inside a tank. Remote seal system measurement is unaffected by agitation, foam, or internal obstacles. Remote diaphragm seals extend limitations due to process conditions such as high and low temperatures, corrosive processes, viscous mediums, and hygienic applications.

Transmitter mounting position 2.5.3 Seal system construction for vacuum applications Emerson offers welded-repairable or all-welded vacuum system construction styles on diaphragm seal assembles. The all-welded vacuum construction was designed specifically for vacuum applications. In this construction, the sensor module gaskets are removed and a disk is welded over the sensor isolators.
Reference Manual Remote Seal Systems 00809-0100-4002 May 2020 2.5.5 Fill fluid selection When the process is under vacuum conditions, the fill fluid can vaporize at a lower temperature than when it is under normal atmospheric or greater pressure. Each fill fluid has a specific vapor-pressure curve.

Configuration Reference Manual May 2020 00809-0100-4002 DP Level transmitter installation best practices Pressure transmitters have a sensor module with a primary fill fluid. Therefore, the mounting position of a standard transmitter with silicon fill could read approx ±1.25 inH worst case after installation. This is simply zeroed out using a Field Communicator after installation so that it will read zero pressure.
Page 83
Reference Manual Configuration 00809-0100-4002 May 2020 4.2.2 Closed tank (non-zero based) For closed tank level applications, this value is most likely too high and cannot be zeroed out due to the applied pressure of the secondary fill fluid. For this reason, the transmitter would simply be re-ranged so that the 0% value (4 mA) would equal the installed value.

5.1.2 Testing Emerson’s vapor pressure curves are derived from empirical lab testing in real devices at both vacuum conditions and at the maximum continuous temperature at one atmosphere of pressure. The maximum continuous temperature at one atm of pressure correlates to the thermal stability of the fill fluid, which is the maximum temperature the fill fluid will remain in its original molecular form.
If the fill fluid vaporizes, the seal system is permanently damaged. Emerson offers numerous types of fill fluids for remote seal systems, each fill fluid has a specific vapor-pressure curve.
