Safety messages
NOTICE
This guide provides basic guidelines for the Rosemount 4088 MultiVariable Transmitter. It does not
provide instructions for diagnostics, maintenance, service, or troubleshooting. Reference the 4088
MultiVariable Transmitter Reference Manual for more instruction. All documents are available
electronically at Emerson.com/Rosemount.
Procedures and instructions in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the
personnel performing the operation. Information that raises potential safety issues is indicated with a
warning symbol ( ). Refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation
preceded by this symbol.
WARNING
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Installation of this transmitter in an explosive environment must be in accordance with the appropriate
local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices. Review the approvals section of the
4088 MultiVariable Transmitter Reference Manual for any restrictions associated with a safe
installation.
•Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, ensure the instruments in
the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
•In an Explosion-proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter covers when power
is applied to the unit.
Process leaks may cause harm or result in death.
Install and tighten process connectors before applying pressure.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause
electrical shock.
Conduit/cable entries
•Unless marked, the conduit/cable entries in the transmitter housing use a 1/2–14 NPT thread
form. Entries marked “M20” are M20 x 1.5 thread form. On devices with multiple conduit entries,
all entries will have the same thread form. Only use plugs, adapters, glands, or conduit with a
compatible thread form when closing these entries.
•When installing in a hazardous location, use only appropriately listed or Ex certified plugs,
adapters, or glands in cable/conduit entries.

2.5 Bolting considerations
About this task
If the transmitter installation requires assembly of a process flange, manifold,
or flange adapters, follow these assembly guidelines to ensure a tight seal for
optimal performance characteristics of the transmitter. Only use bolts
supplied with the transmitter or sold by Emerson™ as spare parts. Figure 2-4
illustrates common transmitter assemblies with the bolt length required for
proper transmitter assembly.

Note
For all other manifolds, contact Customer Central technical support.
Bolts are typically carbon steel or stainless steel. Confirm the material by
viewing the markings on the head of the bolt and referencing Table 2-1 . If
bolt material is not shown in Table 2-1, contact the local Emerson
representative for more information.
Use the following bolt installation procedure:
Procedure
1. Carbon steel bolts do not require lubrication and the stainless steel
bolts are coated with a lubricant to ease installation. However, no
additional lubricant should be applied when installing either type of
bolt.
2. Finger-tighten the bolts.
3. Torque the bolts to the initial torque value using a crossing pattern.
See Table 2-1 for initial torque value.
4. Torque the bolts to the final torque value using the same crossing
pattern. See Table 2-1 for final torque value.

5. Verify the flange bolts are protruding through the sensor module
before applying pressure (see Figure 2-5).

2.6 O-rings with flange adapters
WARNING
Failure to install proper flange adapter O-rings may cause process leaks, which
can result in death or serious injury. Only use the O-ring that is designed for its
specific flange adapter.

D. Elastomer profile (round)
Whenever the flange or adapters are removed, visually inspect the O-rings.
Replace them if there are any signs of damage, such as nicks or cuts. If the O-
rings are replaced, re-torque the flange bolts and alignment screws after
installation to compensate for seating of the O-rings.
2.7 Environmental seal for housing
Thread sealing (PTFE) tape or paste on male threads of conduit is required to
provide a water/dust tight conduit seal and meets requirements of NEMA®
Type 4X, IP66, and IP68. Consult factory if other Ingress Protection ratings are
required. For M20 threads, install conduit plugs to full thread engagement or
until mechanical resistance is met.
2.8 In-line gage transmitter orientation
The low side pressure port (atmospheric reference) on the in-line gage
transmitter is located under the sensor module neck label. (See Figure 2-6)
Keep the vent path free of any obstruction, including but not limited to paint,
dust, and lubrication by mounting the transmitter so that any contaminants
can drain away.
