Section 3. Installation

The Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field Display can be installed either on the 
tank roof or at the foot of the tank for a flexible and convenient read-out of 
tank data. 

The 2230 is designed for mounting on a plate, on a wall, or on a pipe. The 
display is attached to the plate with four M4 screws. It is important to provide 
space for opening the weather protection lid which prevents degradation of 
the LCD display due to sunlight exposure.

Consider the following when finding an appropriate location for the 
Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field Display:

• Mount the 2230 in a location where it is protected from excessive sun 

light. This will reduce exposure to ultra violet (UV) radiation and extend 
the life-time of the LCD.

• In case the 2230 can not be protected from sun light and UV radiation, 

it is recommended that the weather protection lid (see “2230 
Components” on page 2-2) is closed whenever the 2230 is not used.

• An optional weather protection is available as an alternative method to 

protect the 2230.

• When mounting the 2230 display ensure that sufficient space is 

provided for opening the lid, see Figure 3-1.
