Mounting
Note
Wireless devices should only be powered up after the Smart Wireless Gateway, in order of
proximity from the Gateway beginning with the closest device. This results in a simpler and
faster network installation
4. If commissioning the 705 Transmitter, connect the power module as shown in Figure
3-3 on page 13.
5. Close the housing cover and tighten to safety specifications. Always ensure a proper
seal by installing the electronic housing covers so that metal touches metal, but do not
over tighten.
6. Position the antenna vertically, either straight up or straight down, as shown in Figure
3-4 on page 14.
a. The antenna should be approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from any large structures or
buildings, to allow clear communication to other devices.
3.3 Remote antenna (optional)
The remote antenna option provides flexibility for mounting the Rosemount 705 Totalizer based
on wireless connectivity, lightning protection, and current work practices.
The remote mount antenna kit includes coaxial sealant that is for the cable connections,
lightning arrestor, and antenna.Find a location where the remote antenna has optimal wireless
performance. Ideally this will be 15-25 ft. (4.6 - 7.6 m) above the ground or 6 ft. (2 m) above
obstructions or major infrastructure. To install the remote antenna, use one of the following
procedures. The WN option is 25 ft. (7.6 m).
When installing remote mount antennas for the transmitter, always use established safety
procedures to avoid falling or contact with high-power electrical lines.
Install remote antenna components for the transmitter in compliance with local and
national electrical codes and use best practices for lightning protection.
Before installing, consult with the local area electrical inspector, electrical officer, and work
area supervisor.
The transmitter remote antenna option is specifically engineered to provide installation
flexibility while optimizing wireless performance and local spectrum approvals. To maintain
wireless performance and avoid non-compliance with spectrum regulations, do not change
the length of cable or the antenna type.
If the supplied remote mount antenna kit is not installed per these instructions, Emerson
Process Management is not responsible for wireless performance or non-compliance with
spectrum regulations.
