Rosemount 708
CONSIDERATIONS
General The acoustic transmitter detects either a noise or no noise along with a
temperature. By using simple HART configuration, the Rosemount 708
converts the noise and temperature status to a device status.
Wireless Considerations Power Up Sequence
The power module should not be installed on any wireless device until the
Smart Wireless Gateway (“Gateway”) is installed and 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 (Document Number 00809-0200-4420).
Antenna Position
The antenna is internal to the acoustic transmitter. If best practices are
followed, the antenna position will not matter in the wireless functionality.
Field Communicator Connections
The Power Module needs to be connected for the Field Communicator to
interface with the 708.

Mechanical Location
When choosing an installation location and position, take into account access
to the transmitter.
