3.3 Installation Considerations
The Rosemount 2460 may be installed on various non-hazardous locations at the plant.
In case the 2460 is exposed to long periods of sunshine, a sunshade should be used to prevent
the 2460 System Hub from being heated to temperatures above the maximum operating
temperature.
Ensure that environmental conditions are within specified limits as listed in Appendix A:
Specifications and Reference Data.
Ensure that the Rosemount 2460 is installed such that it is not exposed to higher pressure and
temperature than specified in Appendix A: Specifications and Reference Data.
Do not install the Rosemount 2460 in non-intended applications, for example environments
where it may be exposed to extremely intense magnetic fields or extreme weather conditions.
Use an external circuit breaker in order to make sure that power supply can be safely
disconnected when wiring and servicing the Rosemount 2460 System Hub. The circuit breaker
shall be easily accessible and appropriately labeled.
It’s a good idea to make a plan of the installation in order to ensure that all components in the
system are properly specified. The plan should include the following:
suitable locations for devices
power budget
cabling and connections (for example whether devices will be “daisy-chained” or not)
specification of cable glands for the various devices
location of terminators on the Tankbus (2410 Tank Hub)
identification codes such as Unit ID/Device ID of each device
assigned Modbus addresses for level gauges and other field devices to be stored in the
Tank Databases

See “Electrical Installation” on page 27 for more information on cables and glands.
Important
Check the 2460 System Hub for any signs of damage prior to installation. Ensure that O-rings
and gaskets are in good condition.
Important
Ensure that the communication boards have not come loose during transportation.
