Emerson Unveils Rosemount® 848T Wireless Transmitter that Enables More Temperature Measurements for Use in Monitoring and Maintaining Assets New easy-to-use Smart Wireless device cuts instrument and installation cost while delivering more temperature measurements for operations use
Chanhassen, MN (Jan XX, 2009) - Emerson Process Management announces the expansion of its
Smart Wireless solutions with the introduction of its Rosemount® 848T wireless temperature transmitter
for high density temperature measurement. The 848T’s four-channel efficiency adds to installation cost-
savings of Smart Wireless technology to dramatically reduce per point costs and thereby deliver more
measurement data for use in improving operations and maintenance.
The 848T embodies significant investment by Emerson in ease-of-use. Included are a new EDD
(Electronic Device Display -user interface) that provides simple, graphical screens to deliver important
configuration and information. Mounting and sensor connection hardware also exhibit the ease-of-use
focus of Emerson.
Many users across the process industry need to monitor hundreds to thousands of temperature
measurements in a plant to ensure efficient operations. The 848T wireless transmitter monitors up to
four independently configurable RTD, thermocouple, ohm, millivolt and 4 – 20 mA inputs allowing users
access to more of these important temperature measurements. The resulting increased visibility to plant
operations allows for proactive maintenance and monitoring of key assets. These include motor
bearings that drive pumps, fans and compressors, as well as heat exchangers, tanks, reactors and
boilers.
Fully compatible with any WirelessHART™ network, the Rosemount 848T Wireless provides the same
rich diagnostic data and reliable performance as other devices in the Smart Wireless family. It monitors
many temperature measurements with one device, ensuring accurate and stable measurements and
continuously monitors measurement integrity. The device is self-powered and utilizes SmartPower™
technology to provide an intrinsically safe power module with long battery life. Not only are installation
costs minimized by eliminating the signal wiring, but the sensor wiring costs are reduced by being able to
mount the device closer to the process.
Rosemount 848T Wireless temperature transmitters are part of Emerson’s broad range of intelligent,
digital field devices that power the PlantWeb® architecture. Further cost savings, increased plant
availability, and enhanced safety and environmental compliance are achieved when the transmitters are
integrated into the PlantWeb digital plant architecture.
Emerson's PlantWeb architecture combines plant and field networks of industrial Wi-Fi and
WirelessHART® components with wired devices. In addition to Rosemount transmitters, Smart Wireless
includes wireless Rosemount Analytical and Machinery Health™ Management devices, and native
wireless interfaces to AMS® Suite predictive maintenance software, DeltaV™ or Ovation® digital
automation systems, and SmartStart® services. Wired components include Micro Motion® Coriolis and
Daniel® flowmeters, and Fisher® digital valves.
