Shipping considerations for wireless products (Lithium Batteries: Green Power Module,
model number 701PGNKF):
The unit was shipped to you without the Power Module installed. Please remove the
Power Module from the unit prior to shipping.
Each power module contains one “D” size primary lithium-thionyl chloride battery.
Primary lithium batteries are regulated in transportation by the U.S. Department of
Transportation, and are also covered by IATA (International Air Transport Association),
ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), and ARD (European Ground
Transportation of Dangerous Goods). It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure
compliance with these or any other local requirements. Please consult current
regulations and requirements before shipping.
The power module with the wireless unit contains one “D” size primary lithium-thionyl
chloride battery (Green Power Module, model number 701PGNKF). Each battery contains
approximately 5.0 grams of lithium. Under normal conditions, the battery materials are
self-contained and are not reactive as long as the battery and the pack integrity are
maintained. Care should be taken to prevent thermal, electrical or mechanical damage.
Contacts should be protected to prevent premature discharge.
Battery hazards remain when cells are discharged.
Power modules should be stored in a clean and dry area. For maximum battery life, storage
temperature should not exceed 30 °C (86 °F).
The Power Module may be replaced in a hazardous area. The Power Module has surface
resistivity greater than one gigaohm and must be properly installed in the wireless device
enclosure. Care must be taken during transportation to and from the point of installation to
prevent electrostatic charge build-up.
Using the Rosemount 2051 Wireless Pressure Transmitter in a manner other than what is
specified by the manufacturer may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
