Process Connections
Rosemount 3051N connections on the transmitter flange are 
1
/
4
–18 NPT. Use 
your plant-approved lubricant or sealant when making the connections. The 
end-user is responsible for the qualification of the threaded seal interface on 
the transmitter’s 
1
/
4
-18 NPT connections.
Do not attempt to loosen or remove the flange bolts while the transmitter is 
in service.
Housing Rotation
The electronics housing can be rotated up to 180 degrees (left or right) to 
improve field access or to better view the optional LCD meter. To rotate the 
housing, perform the following procedure:
1. Loosen the housing rotation set screw using a 
9
/
64
-in. hex wrench.
2. Turn the housing up to 180 degrees to the left or right of its original (as 
shipped) position. 
Do not rotate the housing more than 180 degrees. 
Over-rotation will sever the electrical connection between the 
sensor module and the electronics module.
3. Retighten the housing rotation set screw.
ELECTRICAL 
CONSIDERATIONS
The transmitter terminal block is in the compartment of the electronics 
housing labeled “FIELD TERMINALS.” The other compartment contains the 
transmitter electronics module. Connections for the HART-based 
communicator are attached beneath the terminal screws on the terminal 
block. Figure 3-7 shows power supply load limitations for the transmitter.
Power Supply
4–20 mA Transmitters
The dc power supply should provide power with less than 2 percent ripple. 
The total resistance load is the sum of the resistance of the signal leads and 
the load resistance of the controller, indicator, and related pieces. Note that 
the resistance of intrinsic safety barriers, if used, must be included.
NOTE
A minimum loop resistance of 250 ohms is required to communicate with a 
HART-based communicator. With 250 ohms of loop resistance, the 
transmitter will require a minimum of 16 volts to output 20 mA. If a single 
power supply is used to power more than one Rosemount 3051N transmitter, 
the power supply used, and circuitry common to the transmitters, should not 
have more than 20 ohms of impedance at 1200 Hz. For additional details, see 
Figure 3-7 "Power Supply Load Limitations."
