Rosemount 248 Temperature Transmitter – FAQ
Q1: What types of sensors can the Rosemount 248 accept?
A: It supports RTDs (e.g., Pt100), thermocouples (e.g., Type J, K, T), millivolt, and resistance inputs.
Q2: Can I configure the transmitter in the field?
A: Yes, using a HART® communicator or AMS Device Manager. It can also be factory-configured before shipment.
Q3: Is it loop-powered?
A: Yes, it operates on an 11–35 VDC loop power supply and outputs a 4–20 mA signal.
Q4: What is the ambient temperature range?
A: The transmitter operates reliably from -50 to +85 °C.
Q5: Does it support sensor diagnostics?
A: Absolutely. It includes open/short sensor detection and ambient temperature compensation.
Q6: Is it suitable for safety applications?
A: Yes, it’s SIL 2 capable per IEC 61508, making it suitable for safety-instrumented systems.
Q7: Can I order it without a sensor?
A: Yes, it can be ordered as a standalone unit or as part of an assembly with sensor and thermowell.
Q8: What does “S/N” refer to in the configuration?
A: “S/N” stands for Sensor Serial Number, useful for tracking calibration and maintenance.
Q9: Does it have an Active Calibrator Mode?
A: Yes, but it must be disabled before returning the transmitter to service to ensure full diagnostics.
