Transmitter The Rosemount Model 3144P Smart Temperature Transmitter is a
microprocessor-based instrument that accepts input from a wide variety of
sensors and transmits temperature data to a control system or transmitter
interface. The transmitter combines Emerson Process Management reliability
with the flexibility of digital electronics. The transmitter is ideal for applications
that require high performance and/or remote communication.
The AMS software and Model 275 HART® Communicator use HART protocol
to interrogate, configure, test, and format the Model 3144P transmitter.
Communication can be made with the transmitter from the control room,
transmitter site, or across any other two points in the loop provided the loop
contains 250 to 1100 ohms of resistance.
Special dual-sensor features include Hot Backup
®
, sensor drift alert, first good,
differential and average temperature measurements, and four simultaneous
measurement variable outputs in addition to the analog output signal
CONSIDERATIONS
General Electrical temperature sensors, such as resistance temperature detectors
(RTDs) and thermocouples (T/Cs), produce low-level signals proportional to
temperature. The Model 3144P transmitter converts low-level sensor signals
to a standard 4–20 mA dc signal. This current signal is then transmitted to the
control room via two power/signal wires.

Electrical Proper electrical installation is essential to prevent errors due to sensor lead
resistance and electrical noise. Shielded cable should be used for best results
in electrically noisy environments. The current loop must have between 250
and 1100 ohms resistance for HART communications. Refer to Figure 2-10 on
page 2-11 for sensor and current loop connections.
Environmental Temperature Effects
The transmitter will operate within specifications for ambient temperatures
between –40 and 185 °F (–40 and 85 °C). Heat from the process is
transferred from the thermowell to the transmitter housing. If the expected
process temperature is near or beyond specification limits, consider the use of
additional thermowell lagging, an extension nipple, or a remote mounting
configuration to isolate the transmitter from the process. Figure 1-1 describes
the relationship between housing temperature rise and extension length.
Figure 1-1. Model 3144P
Transmitter Housing
Temperature Rise versus
Extension Length for a Test
Installation.
Example:
The maximum permissible housing temperature rise (T) can be calculated
by subtracting the maximum ambient temperature (A) from the
transmitter’s ambient temperature specification limit (S). For instance,
suppose A = 40 °C.
T = S - A
T = 85 °C – 40 °C
T = 45 °C
For a process temperature of 540 °C (1004 °F), an extension length of 3.6
inches (91.4 mm) yields a housing temperature rise (R) of 22 °C (72 °F),
which provides a safety margin of 23 °C (73 °F). A six-inch extension
length (R = 10 °C (50 °F)) would offer a higher safety margin (35 °C (95
°F)) and would reduce temperature-effect errors but would probably
require extra transmitter support. Gauge the requirements for individual
applications along this scale. If a thermowell with lagging is used, the
extension length may be reduced by the length of the lagging.

Moist or Corrosive Environments
The Model 3144P temperature transmitter has a highly reliable dual
compartment housing designed to resist moisture and corrosion. The sealed
electronics module is mounted in a compartment that is isolated from the
terminal side conduit entries. O-ring seals protect the interior when the covers
are properly installed. In humid environments, however, it is possible for
moisture to accumulate in conduit lines and drain into the housing.
NOTE
Each transmitter is clearly marked with a tag indicating the approvals. Install
the transmitter in accordance with all applicable installation codes and
approval and installation drawings (see Appendix B: Product Certifications).
Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the
hazardous locations certifications.
Once a device labeled with multiple approval types is installed, it should not
be reinstalled using any of the other labeled approval types. To ensure this,
the approval label should be permanently marked to distinguish the used from
the unused approval type(s).
Mounting Take into account the need for access to the transmitter when choosing an
installation location and position.
Terminal Side of Electronics Housing
Mount the transmitter so the terminal side is accessible. Allow adequate
clearance for cover removal. Make wiring connections through the conduit
openings on the bottom of the housing.
Circuit Side of Electronics Housing
Mount the transmitter so the circuit side is accessible. Provide adequate
clearance for cover removal. Additional room is required for LCD installation.
The transmitter may be mounted directly to or remotely from the sensor.
Using optional mounting brackets, the transmitter may be mounted to a flat
surface or to a two-inch diameter pipe (see “Optional Transmitter Mounting
Brackets” on page A-8).
Software Compatibility Replacement transmitters may contain revised software that is not fully
compatible with the existing software in your HART communicator.
Model 275 HART Communicators and AMS software containing device
descriptors for the Models 3144 and 3244MV before December 2001 do not
fully support the new features of the Model 3144P. The HART Communicator
Field Device Revisions Dev v3,DD v2 should be loaded into the Model 275
HART Communicator to communicate with the new features of the Model
3144P. The Device Descriptors (DD) are available with new communicators or
can be loaded into existing communicators at any Emerson Process
Management Service Center. See Section 3: Commissioning for more device
revisions information.

• Do not remove the thermowell while in operation. Removing while in operation
may cause process fluid leaks.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury. If the sensor is installed in a
high-voltage environment and a fault or installation error occurs, high voltage may be
present on the transmitter leads and terminals:
• Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.

COMMISSIONING The Model 3144P must be configured for certain basic variables to operate.
In many cases, all of these variables are pre-configured at the factory.
Configuration may be required if the transmitter is not configured or if the
configuration variables need revision.
Commissioning consists of testing the transmitter and verifying transmitter
configuration data. Model 3144P Series transmitters can be commissioned
either before or after installation. Commissioning the transmitter on the bench
before installation using a Model 275 HART Communicator or AMS ensures
that all transmitter components are in working order.
To commission on the bench, connect the transmitter and the HART
Communicator or AMS as shown in Figure 2-10 on page 2-11. Make sure the
instruments in the loop are installed according to intrinsically-safe or
non-incendive field wiring practices before connecting a communication in an
explosive atmosphere. Connect HART Communication leads at any
termination point in the signal loop. For convenience, connect them to the
terminals labeled “COMM” on the terminal block. Connecting across the
“TEST” terminals will prevent successful communication. Avoid exposing the
transmitter electronics to the plant environment after installation by setting all
transmitter jumpers during the commissioning stage on the bench.
When using a HART Communicator, any configuration changes made must
be sent to the transmitter by using the “Send” key (F2). AMS configuration
changes are implemented when the “Apply” button is clicked.
For more information on using the model 275 HART Communicator with the
Model 3144P transmitter, see Section 3: Commissioning.
Figure 2-1. Installation
Flowchart.
Setting the Loop to
Manual
When sending or requesting data that would disrupt the loop or change the
output of the transmitter, set the process application loop to manual. The
HART Communicator or AMS will prompt you to set the loop to manual when
necessary. Acknowledging this prompt does not set the loop to manual. The
prompt is only a reminder; set the loop to manual as a separate operation.

The analog alarm and saturation values that the transmitter uses depend on
whether it is configured to standard or NAMUR-compliant operation. These
values are also custom-configurable in both the factory and the field using the
HART Communications. The limits are
•21.0 ≤ I ≤ 23 for high alarm
•3.5 ≤ I ≤ 3.75 for low alarm
Table 2-2. Values for standard
and NAMUR operation
MOUNTING If possible, mount the transmitter at a high point in the conduit run so moisture
from the conduits will not drain into the housing. The terminal compartment
could fill with water If the transmitter is mounted at a low point in the conduit
run. In some instances, the installation of a poured conduit seal, such as the
one pictured in Figure 2-3, is advisable. Remove the terminal compartment
cover periodically and inspect the transmitter for moisture and corrosion.
Figure 2-2. Incorrect Conduit
Installation
Figure 2-3. Recommended
Mounting with Drain Seal
If mounting the transmitter directly to the sensor assembly, use the process
shown in Figure 2-4. If mounting the transmitter apart from the sensor
assembly, use conduit between the sensor and transmitter. The transmitter
accepts male conduit fittings with 1/2–14 NPT, M20 × 1.5 (CM 20), PG 13.5
(PG 11), or JIS G1/2 threads (M20 × 1.5 (CM 20), PG 13.5 (PG 11), or JIS G1/2
threads are provided by an adapter). Make sure only qualified personnel
perform the installation.
The transmitter may require supplementary support under high-vibration
conditions, particularly if used with extensive thermowell lagging or long
extension fittings. Pipe-stand mounting, using one of the optional mounting
brackets, is recommended for use in high-vibration conditions.

LCD Meter Transmitters ordered with the LCD meter option (Option Code M5) are
shipped with the LCD meter installed. After-market installation of the LCD
meter on a conventional Model 3144P transmitter requires a small instrument
screwdriver and the LCD meter kit, which includes:
• LCD meter assembly
• Extended cover with cover O-ring in place
• Captive screws (quantity 2)
• 10-pin interconnection header
Use the following procedure to install the LCD meter. Once the LCD meter is
installed, configure the transmitter to recognize the meter option. Refer to
“LCD Meter Options” on page 3-19.
1. If the transmitter is installed in a loop, set the loop to manual and
disconnect the power.
2. Remove the housing cover from the electronics side of the transmitter.
Do not remove the transmitter covers in explosive atmospheres if the
circuit is live.
3. Ensure that the transmitter security mode switch is set to the Off
position. If transmitter security is On, then you will not be able to
configure the transmitter to recognize the LCD meter. If security On is
desired, first configure the transmitter for the LCD meter and then install
the meter.
4. Insert the interconnection header in the 10-pin socket on the face of the
electronics module. Insert the pins into the electronics LCD interface.
5. Orient the meter. The meter can be rotated in 90-degree increments for
easy viewing. Position one of the four 10-pin sockets on the back of the
meter to accept the interconnection header.
6. Attach the LCD meter assembly to the interconnection pins. Thread and
tighten the LCD meter screws into the holes on the electronics module.
7. Attach the extended cover; tighten at least one-third turn after the O-ring
contacts the transmitter housing. Both transmitter covers must be fully
engaged to meet explosion proof requirements.

Multichannel
Installations
You can connect several transmitters to a single master power supply (see
Figure 2-7). In this case, the system may be grounded only at the negative
power supply terminal. In multichannel installations where several
transmitters depend on one power supply and the loss of all transmitters
would cause operational problems, consider an uninterrupted power supply or
a back-up battery. The diodes shown in Figure 2-7 prevent unwanted
charging or discharging of the back-up battery.
Figure 2-7. Multichannel
Installations.
WIRING
Field Wiring All power to the transmitter is supplied over the signal wiring. Signal wiring
does not need to be shielded, but twisted pairs should be used for the best
results. Do not run unshielded signal wiring in conduit or open trays with
power wiring or near heavy electrical equipment. High voltage may be present
on the leads and may cause electrical shock. To wire the transmitter for
power, follow the steps below.
1. Remove the transmitter covers. Do not remove the transmitter covers in
an explosive atmosphere when the circuit is live.
2. Connect the positive power lead to the terminal marked “+” and the
negative power lead to the terminal marked “–” as shown in Figure 2-8.
Crimped lugs are recommended when wiring to screw terminals.
3. Tighten the terminal screws to ensure that good contact is made. No
additional power wiring is required.
4. Replace the transmitter covers. Both transmitter covers must be fully
engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.
NOTE
Do not apply high voltage (e.g., ac line voltage) to the transmitter terminals.
Abnormally high voltage can damage the unit.

Sensor Connections Figure 2-9 on page 2-10 shows the correct sensor wiring connections to the
transmitter sensor terminals. To ensure an adequate sensor connection,
anchor the sensor lead wires beneath the flat washer on the terminal screw.
Do not remove the transmitter cover in explosive atmospheres if the circuit is
live. Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof
requirements. Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and
terminals.
RTD or Ohm Inputs
If the transmitter is mounted remotely from a 3- or 4-wire RTD, it will operate
within specifications, without recalibration, for lead wire resistances of up to
10 ohms per lead (equivalent to 1,000 feet of 20 AWG wire). In this case, the
leads between the RTD and transmitter should be shielded. If using only two
leads (or a compensation loop lead wire configuration), both RTD leads are in
series with the sensor element, so significant errors can occur if the lead
lengths exceed one foot of 20 AWG wire. For longer runs, attach a third or
fourth lead as described above. To eliminate 2-wire lead resistance error, the
2-wire offset command can be used. This allows the user to input the
measured lead wire resistance, resulting in the transmitter adjusting the
temperature to correct the error.

Thermocouple or Millivolt Inputs
For direct-mount applications, connect the thermocouple directly to the
transmitter. If mounting the transmitter remotely from the sensor, use
appropriate thermocouple extension wire. Make connections for millivolt
inputs with copper wire. Use shielding for long runs of wire.
NOTE
The use of two grounded thermocouples with a dual option Model 3144P
transmitter is not recommended. For applications in which the use of two
thermocouples is desired, connect either two ungrounded thermocouples,
one grounded and one ungrounded thermocouple, or one dual element
thermocouple.
Power/Current Loop
Connections
Use copper wire of a sufficient size to ensure that the voltage across the
transmitter power terminals does not go below 12.0 V dc.
1. Connect the current signal leads as shown in Figure 2-10.
2. Recheck the polarity and correctness of connections.
3. Turn the power ON.
For information about multichannel installations, refer to page 2-14.
NOTE
Do not connect the power/signal wiring to the test terminal. The voltage
present on the power/signal leads may burn out the reverse-polarity
protection diode that is built into the test terminal. If the test terminal’s reverse
polarity protection diode is burned out by the incorrect power/signal wiring, the
transmitter can still be operated by jumping the current from the test terminal
to the “–” terminal. See “Test Terminal” on page 4-3 for use of the terminal.

POWER SUPPLY An external power supply is required to operate the Model 3144P (not
included). The input voltage range of the transmitter is 12 to 42.4 V DC. This
is the power required across the transmitter power terminals. The power
terminals are rated to 42.4 V DC. With 250 ohms of resistance in the loop, the
transmitter will require a minimum of 18.1 V DC for communication.
The power supplied to the transmitter is determined by the total loop
resistance and should not drop below the lift-off voltage. The lift-off voltage is
the minimum supply voltage required for any given total loop resistance. See
Figure 2-11 to determine the required supply voltage. If the power drops
below the lift-off voltage while the transmitter is being configured, the
transmitter may output incorrect information.
The dc power supply should provide power with less than 2% ripple. The total
resistance load is the sum of the resistance of the signal leads and the load
resistance of any controller, indicator, or related piece of equipment in the
loop. Note that the resistance of intrinsic safety barriers, if used, must be
included.
NOTE
Do not allow the voltage to drop below 12.0 V dc at the transmitter terminals
when changing transmitter configuration parameters, or permanent damage
to the transmitter could result.
Figure 2-11. Load Limits.
Surges/Transients The transmitter will withstand electrical transients of the energy level usually
encountered in static discharges or induced switching. However, high-energy
transients, such as those induced in wiring from nearby lightning strikes, can
damage both the transmitter and the sensor.
To protect against high-energy transients, install the integral transient
protection board (option code T1) or the Rosemount Model 470 Transient
Protector. The integral transient protection board is available as an ordered
option or as an accessory. Refer to “ Transient Protection (Option Code T1)”
on page A-16 for more information. The Model 470 transient protector is
available only as an accessory. Refer to the Model 470 Transient Protector

Model 3144P
Grounding Shielding
The currents in the leads induced by electromagnetic interference can be
reduced by shielding. Shielding carries the current to ground and away from
the leads and electronics. If the ends of the shields are adequately grounded,
little current will actually enter the transmitter.
If the ends of the shield are left ungrounded, a voltage is created between the
shield and the transmitter housing and also between the shield and earth at
the element end. The transmitter may not be able to compensate for this
voltage, causing it to lose communication and/or go into alarm. Instead of the
shield carrying the currents away from the transmitter, the currents will now
flow through the sensor leads into the transmitter circuitry where they will
interfere with the circuit operation.
Shielding Recommendations
The following are recommended practices are from API Standard 552
(Transmission Standard) section 20.7 and from field and laboratory testing. If
more than one recommendation is given for a sensor type, start with the first
technique shown or the technique that is recommended for the facility by its
installation drawings. If the technique does not eliminate the transmitter
alarms, try another technique. If all techniques unsuccessfully prevent
transmitter alarms due to high EMI, contact a Emerson Process Management
representative.
Ungrounded Thermocouple, mV, and RTD/Ohm Inputs
Option 1: recommended for ungrounded transmitter housing
1. Connect the signal wiring shield to the sensor wiring shield.
2. Ensure the two shields are tied together and electrically isolated from
the transmitter housing.
3. Ground the shield at the power supply end only.
4. Ensure the shield at the sensor is electrically isolated from the
surrounding fixtures that may be grounded.

the transmitter housing is grounded (see "Transmitter Housing").
2. Ensure the shield at the sensor end is electrically isolated from
surrounding fixtures that may be grounded.
3. Ground the signal wiring shield at the power supply end.
Option 3
1. Ground the sensor wiring shield at the sensor, if possible.
2. Ensure the sensor wiring and signal wiring shields are electrically
isolated form the transmitter housing and other fixtures that may
be grounded.
3. Ground the signal wiring shield at the power supply end.
Grounded Thermocouple Inputs
1. Ground the sensor wiring shield at the sensor.
2. Ensure the sensor wiring and signal wiring shields are electrically
isolated form the transmitter housing and other fixtures that may
be grounded.
3. Ground the signal wiring shield at the power supply end.
Transmitter Housing
Ground the transmitter housing in accordance with local electrical
requirements. An internal ground terminal is standard. An optional external
ground lug assembly (Option Code G1) can also be ordered if needed.
Ordering certain hazardous approvals automatically includes an external
ground lug (see Table A-5 on page A-16).

OVERVIEW This section contains information on commissioning and tasks that should be
performed on the bench prior to installation. This section contains Model
3144P HART configuration only. HART Communicator and AMS instructions
are given to perform configuration functions. For additional information, refer
to the Model 275 HART Communication Reference Manual (document
number 00809-0100-4275). AMS help can be found in the AMS on-line guides
within the AMS system.
SAFETY MESSAGES Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to
ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that
raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol ( ). Please
refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation
preceded by this symbol.
Warnings
Explosions may result in death or serious injury.
• Do not remove the instrument cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is
live.
• Before connecting a HART communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure
the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or
non-incendive field wiring practices.
• Both covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion–proof requirements.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury. If the sensor is installed in a
high-voltage environment and a fault or installation error occurs, high voltage may be
present on transmitter leads and terminals.
• Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.

MODEL 275 HART
COMMUNICATOR
The HART Communicator exchanges information with the transmitter from
the control room, the instrument site, or any wiring termination point in the
loop. To facilitate communication, connect the HART Communicator in parallel
with the transmitter (see Figure 2-11). Use the loop connection ports on the
rear panel of the HART Communicator. The connections are non-polarized.
Do not make connections to the serial port or the NiCad recharger jack in
explosive atmospheres. Before connecting the HART communicator in an
explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in
accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices
Updating the Model 275
HART Communication
Software
You may need to upgrade the Model 275 HART Communicator software to
take advantage of the additional features available in the Model 3144P (field
device revision 3). Perform the following steps to determine if an upgrade is
required.
1. Turn on your communicator and select 4 Utility, then 5 Simulation.
2. Choose “Rosemount” from the list of manufacturers and “3144 Temp”
from the list of models.
3. If the Fld Dev Rev choices include “Dev v3, DD v2,” an upgrade is not
required. If the only choice is “Dev v1” or “Dev v2” (with any DD version),
than the communicator should be upgraded.
NOTE
If you initiate communication with an improved Model 3144P using a
communicator that only has a previous version of the transmitter device
descriptors (DDs), the communicator will display the following message:
NOTICE: Upgrade 275 software to access new XMTR functions.
Continue with old description?
If you select YES, the communicator will communicate properly with the
transmitter using the existing transmitter DDs. However, new software
features of the DD in the communicator will not be accessible. If you select
NO, the communicator will default to a generic transmitter functionality.
If YES is selected when the transmitter is already configured to utilize the new
features of the improved transmitters (such as Dual Input configuration or one
of the added sensor input types–DIN Type L or DIN Type U), the user will
experience trouble communicating with the transmitter and will be prompted
to turn the communicator off. To prevent this from happening, either upgrade
the communicator to the latest DD or answer NO to the question above and
default to the generic transmitter functionality.
To see a list of enhancements included in the improved transmitters, see
“Model 3144P and Models 3144 / 3244MV Differences” on page 1-3.

Model 3144P
AMS One of the key benefits of intelligent devices is the ease of device
configuration. When used with AMS, the Model 3144P is easy to configure
and provides instant and accurate alerts and alarms. The main configuration
screen of the Model 3144P is the “Configuration Properties” screen. From this
screen, the transmitter set-up can easily be viewed and edited.
The screens use a color-coding to give visual indication of the transmitter
health and to indicate any changes that may need to be made or written to the
transmitter.
• Gray screens: indicates that all information has been written to the
transmitter
• Yellow on screen: changes have been made in the software but not
sent to the transmitter
• Green on screen: all current changes on screen have been written to
the transmitter
• Red on screen: indicates an alarm or alert that requires immediate
investigation
Apply AMS Changes Changes made in the software must be sent to the transmitter in order for the
changes to take effect in the process.
1. From the bottom of the “Configuration Properties” screen, click Apply.
2. An “Apply Parameter Modification” screen appears, enter desired

1. Measure the lead wire resistance of both RTD leads after installing the
2-wire RTD and the Model 3144P.
2. From the HOME screen, select 1 Device Setup, 3 Configuration,
2 Sensor Configuration, 3 Sensor 1 Setup, 6 2-Wire Offset.
3. Enter the total measured resistance of the two RTD leads at the 2-Wire
Offset prompt. Enter this resistance as a negative (–) value to ensure
proper adjustment.The transmitter then adjusts its temperature
measurement to correct the error caused by lead wire resistance.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for sensor 2, selecting 1 Device Setup, 3
Configuration, 2 Sensor Configuration, 4 Sensor 2 Setup, 6 2-Wire
Offset.

NOTE
The transmitter determines the differential temperature by subtracting
Sensor 2 from Sensor 1 (S1 – S2). Ensure that this order of subtraction is
consistent with the desired reading for the application. Refer to Figure 2-12 on
page 2-16, or inside the transmitter terminal-side cover for sensor wiring

Model 3144P
If using a LCD meter, configure it to read the appropriate variables using
“LCD Meter Options” on page 3-17.
NOTE
If Sensor 1 and/or Sensor 2 should fail while PV is configured for average
temperature and Hot Backup is not enabled, the transmitter will go into alarm.
For this reason, when PV is Sensor Average it is recommended that Hot
Backup be enabled when dual-element sensors are used or when two
temperature measurements are taken from the same point in the process. If a
sensor failure occures when Hot Backup is enabled while PV is Sensor
Average, three scenarios could result:
• If Sensor 1 fails, the average will only be reading from Sensor 2, the
working sensor.
• If Sensor 2 fails, the average will only be reading from Sensor 1, the
working sensor.
• If both sensors fail simultaneously, the transmitter will go into alarm and
the status available (via HART) states that both Sensor 1 and Sensor 2
have failed.
In the first two scenarios, where Hot Backup is enabled with PV set to Sensor
Average, the 4-20 mA signal is not disrupted and the status available to the
control system (via HART) specifes which sensor has failed.
AMS
For AMS, configure each sensor as indicated above.
Right click on the device and select “Configuration Properties” from the
menu. Select the Dual Sensor tab to configure the Average
Temperature.In the Average Temperature box, Set the Ave Units to the
desired output. Set damping if applicable.
Apply changes made (see “Apply AMS Changes” on page 3-5).
First-Good Configuration
The First Good device variable is useful for applications in which
dual-sensors (or a single dual element sensor) are used in a single
process. The first good variable will report the Sensor 1 value, unless
Sensor 1 fails. When Sensor 1 fails, the Sensor 2 value will be reported as
the first good variable. Once the first good variable has switched to Sensor
2, it will not revert back to Sensor 1 until a master reset occurs or
“Suspend Non-PV alarms” is disabled. When the PV is mapped to first
good and either Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 fails, the analog output will go to the
alarm level, but the digital PV value read through the HART interface will
still report the proper first good sensor value.
If it is desired that the transmitter not go into analog output alarm while
having the PV mapped to first good and Sensor 1 fails, enable “Suspend
Non-PV Alarm” mode. This combination will prevent the analog ouput from
going to the alarm level unless BOTH sensors fail.

For AMS, configure each sensor as indicated above.

applicable.
Apply changes made (see “Apply AMS Changes” on page 3-5).
Hot Backup Configuration
The Config Hot BU command configures the transmitter to automatically
use Sensor 2 as the primary sensor if Sensor 1 fails. With Hot Backup
enabled, the primary variable (PV) must either be First Good or Sensor
Average (see “Average Temperature” on page 3-10 for details on using
Hot Backup when PV is Sensor Average). You can map Sensors 1 or 2 as
the secondary variable (SV), tertiary variable (TV), or quaternary variable
(QV). In the event of a primary variable (Sensor 1) failure, the transmitter
enters Hot Backup mode and Sensor 2 becomes the PV. The 4–20 mA
signal is not disrupted and a status is available to the control system (via
HART) that Sensor 1 has failed. An LCD meter, if attached, also displays
the failed sensor status.
While configured to Hot Backup, if Sensor 2 fails while Sensor 1 is still
operating properly, the transmitter continues to report the PV 4–20 mA
analog output signal while a status is available to the control system (via
HART) that Sensor 2 has failed. In Hot Backup mode, the transmitter will
not revert back to Sensor 1 to control the 4–20 mA analog output until the
Hot Backup mode is reset. Reset Hot Backup either by re-enabling via
HART or by briefly powering down the transmitter.
To set up and enable the Hot Backup feature for the Model 3144P
transmitter, perform the following procedure:
1. Attach any two sensors to the transmitter as shown in Figure 2-12 on
page 2-16.
2. From the Home screen, select 1 Device Setup, 3 Configuration, 1

Drift Alert Configuration
The Drift Alert command allows the user to configure the transmitter to set
a warning flag (via HART) or go into analog alarm when the temperature
difference between Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 exceeds a user-defined limit.
This feature is useful when measuring the same process temperature with
two sensors, ideally when using a dual-element sensor. When Drift Alert
mode is enabled, the user will set the maximum allowable difference, in
engineering units, between Sensor 1 and Sensor 2. If this maximum
difference is exceeded, a drift alert warning flag will be set.
When configuring the transmitter for Drift Alert the user also has the option
of specifying that the analog output of the transmitter go into alarm when
sensor drifting is detected.
NOTE
The Drift Alert alarm cannot be enabled while Hot Backup is enabled. The
Drift Alert warning, however, can be used simultaneously with Hot Backup.
For information on configuring the transmitter for Hot Backup see page 3-12.
To set up and enable the Drift Alert feature of the Model 3144P, perform
the following procedure:

using limits of expected readings. See Table A-2 on page A-5 for unit and
range setting limits. The range of expected readings is defined by the Lower
Range Value (LRV) and Upper Range Value (URV). The transmitter range
values may be reset as often as necessary to reflect changing process
conditions. From the PV Range Values screen select 1 PV LRV to change the
lower range value and 2 PV URV to change the upper range value.

Model 3144P
Reranging the transmitter sets the measurement range to the limits of the
expected readings. Setting the measurement range to these limits maximizes
transmitter performance; the transmitter is most accurate when operated
within the expected temperature range for the application.
The rerange functions should not be confused with the trim function. Although
reranging the transmitter matches a sensor input to a 4-20 mA output, as in
conventional calibration, it does not affect the transmitter’s interpretation of
the input.
AMS
Right click on the device and select “Configuration Properties” from the
menu. Select the Analog Output tab to define the upper and lower range
values. From the Analog Input Range box, enter the URV and LRV.
Apply changes made (see “Apply AMS Changes” on page 3-5).
Process Variable Damping
The PV Damp command changes the response time of the transmitter to
smooth variations in output readings caused by rapid changes in input.
Determine the appropriate damping setting based on the necessary response
time, signal stability, and other requirements of the loop dynamics of the
system. The default damping value is 5.0 seconds and can be reset to any
value between 0 and 32 seconds.
The value chosen for damping affects the response time of the transmitter.
When set to zero (i.e., disabled), the damping function is off and the
transmitter output reacts to changes in input as quickly as the intermittent
sensor algorithm allows. Increasing the damping value increases transmitter
response time.
When damping is enabled, the transmitter will output a value at time (t)
according to the following equation:
Output(t) = Input(ts) – De(–t/damping)
D = input step change at time t = 0
At the time to which the damping time constant is set, the transmitter output is
at 63 percent of the input change; it continues to approach the input according
to the damping equation above.
For example, as illustrated in Figure 3-2, if the temperature undergoes a step
change—from 100 degrees to 110 degrees, and the damping is set to 5.0
seconds, at 5.0 seconds, the transmitter outputs 106.3 degrees, or 63 percent
of the input change, and the output continues to approach the input curve
according to the equation above..

Alarm and Saturation
The Alarm/Saturation command allows the user to view the alarm settings (Hi
or Low). With this command it is also possible to change the alarm and
saturation values. To change the alarm values and saturation values, select
the value to be changed, either 1 Low Alarm, 2 High Alarm, 3 Low Sat., 4 High
Sat, or 5 Preset Alarms. Enter the desired new value. It must fall within the
guidelines given below.
• The low alarm value must be between 3.50 and 3.75 mA
• The high alarm value must be between 21.0 and 23.0 mA
The low saturation level must be between the low alarm value plus 0.1 mA
and 3.9 mA.
Example: The low alarm value has been set to 3.7 mA. Therefore, the low
saturation level, S, must be as follows:
3.8 ≤ S ≤ 3.9 mA.
The high saturation level must be between 20.5 mA and the high alarm value
minus 0.1 mA.
Example: The high alarm value has been set to 20.8 mA. Therefore, the low
saturation level, S, must be as follows:
20.5 ≤ S ≤ 20.7 mA.
Preset alarms can either be 1 Rosemount or 2 NAMUR-compliant. Use the
failure mode switch on the front side of the electronics (see “Switch Location”
on page A-7) to set whether the output will be driven to high or low alarm in
the case of failure.

DEVICE INFORMATION Access the transmitter information variables online using the HART
Communicator or other suitable communications device. The following is a list
of transmitter information variables. These variables include device identifiers,
factory-set configuration variables, and other information. A description of
each variable, the corresponding fast key sequence, and a review of its
purposes are provided.
Tag
The Tag variable is the easiest way to identify and distinguish between
transmitters in multi-transmitter environments. Use it to label transmitters
electronically according to the requirements of the application. The defined
tag is automatically displayed when a HART-based communicator establishes
contact with the transmitter at power-up. The tag may be up to eight
characters long and has no impact on the primary variable readings of the
transmitter.
Date
The Date command is a user-defined variable that provides a place to save
the date of the last revision of configuration information. It has no impact on
the operation of the transmitter or the HART-based communicator.
Descriptor
The Descriptor variable provides a longer user-defined electronic label to
assist with more specific transmitter identification than is available with the tag
variable. The descriptor may be up to 16 characters long and has no impact
on the operation of the transmitter or the HART-based communicator.
Message
The Message variable provides the most specific user-defined means for
identifying individual transmitters in multi-transmitter environments. It allows
for 32 characters of information and is stored with the other configuration
data. The message variable has no impact on the operation of the transmitter
or the HART-based communicator.

Intermittent Threshold
The threshold value can be changed from the default value of 0.2%. Turning
the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature OFF or leaving it ON and increasing
the threshold value above the default does not affect the time needed for the
transmitter to output the correct alarm signal after detecting a true open
sensor condition. However, the transmitter may briefly output a false
temperature reading for up to one update in either direction (see Figure 3-4 on
page 3-23) up to the threshold value (100% of sensor limits if Intermittent
Sensor Detect is OFF). Unless rapid response rate is necessary, the
suggested setting of the Intermittent Sensor Detect mechanism is ON with
0.2% threshold.

Sensor Response
Intermittent Sensor Detect (Advanced Feature)
The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is designed to guard against process
temperature readings caused by intermittent open sensor conditions (an
intermittent sensor condition is an open sensor condition that lasts less than
one update). By default, the transmitter is shipped with the Intermittent Sensor
Detect feature switched ON and the threshold value set at 0.2% of sensor
limits. The Intermittent Sensor Detect feature can be switched ON or OFF and
the threshold value can be changed to any value between 0 and 100% of the
sensor limits with a HART communicator.
Transmitter Behavior with Intermittent Sensor Detect ON
When the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is switched ON, the transmitter
can eliminate the output pulse caused by intermittent open sensor conditions.
Process temperature changes (∆T) within the threshold value will be tracked
normally by the transmitter’s output. A ∆T greater than the threshold value will
activate the intermittent sensor algorithm. True open sensor conditions will
cause the transmitter to go into alarm.
The threshold value of the Model 3144P should be set at a level that allows
the normal range of process temperature fluctuations; too high and the
algorithm will not be able to filter out intermittent conditions; too low and the
algorithm will be activated unnecessarily. The default threshold value is 0.2%
of the sensor limits.
Transmitter Behavior with Intermittent Sensor Detect OFF
When the Intermittent Sensor Detect feature is switched OFF, the transmitter
tracks all process temperature changes, even if they are the consequence of
an intermittent sensor. (The transmitter in effect behaves as though the
threshold value had been set at 100%.) The output delay due to the
intermittent sensor algorithm will be eliminated.

Open Sensor Holdoff
The Open Sensor Holdoff option, at the normal setting, enables the Model
3144P to be more robust under heavy EMI conditions. This is accomplished
through the software by having the transmitter perform additional verification
of the open sensor status prior to activating the transmitter alarm. If the
additional verification shows that the open sensor condition is not valid, the
transmitter will not go into alarm.
For users of the Model 3144P that desire a more vigorous open sensor
detection, the Open Sensor Holdoff option can be changed to a fast setting.
With this setting, the transmitter will report an open sensor condition without
additional verification of the open condition.

MULTIDROP
COMMUNICATION
Multidropping refers to the connection of several transmitters to a single
communications transmission line. Communication between the host and the
transmitters takes place digitally with the analog output of the transmitters
deactivated. Many of the Rosemount SMART FAMILY® transmitters can be
multidropped. With the HART communications protocol, up to 15 transmitters
can be connected on a single twisted pair of wires or over leased phone lines.
The application of a multidrop installation requires consideration of the update
rate necessary from each transmitter, the combination of transmitter models,
and the length of the transmission line. Each transmitter is identified by a
unique address (1–15) and responds to the commands defined in the HART
protocol.
Figure 3-4. Typical Multidropped
Network
Figure 3-4 shows a typical multidrop network. Do not use this figure as an
installation diagram. Contact Emerson Process Management product support
with specific requirements for multidrop applications.
A HART-based communicator can test, configure, and format a multidropped
Model 3144P transmitter the same as in a standard point-to-point installation.
NOTE
The Model 3144P is set to address 0 at the factory, allowing it to operate in
the standard point-to-point manner with a 4–20 mA output signal. To activate
multidrop communication, the transmitter address must be changed to a
number between 1 and 15. This change deactivates the 4–20 mA analog
output, sending it to 4 mA. The failure mode current also is disabled.

USE WITH THE HART
TRI-LOOP
To prepare the Model 3144P transmitter with dual-sensor option for use with a
Model 333 HART Tri-Loop, you must configure the transmitter to Burst Mode
and set the process variable output order. In Burst Mode, the transmitter
provides digital information for the four process variables to the HART
Tri-Loop. The HART Tri-Loop divides the signal into separate 4–20 mA loops
for up to three of the following choices:
• primary variable (PV)
• secondary variable (SV)
• tertiary variable (TV)
• quaternary variable (QV)
When using the Model 3144P transmitter with dual-sensor option in
conjunction with the HART Tri-Loop, consider the configuration of the
differential, average, first good temperatures, Sensor Drift Alert, and Hot
Backup features (if applicable).
NOTE
These procedures assume that the sensors and the transmitter are
connected, powered, and functioning properly, and that a Model 275 HART
Communicator is connected to the transmitter control loop and is
communicating successfully. For communicator usage instructions, see
“Commissioning” on page 2-2.

Special Considerations
To initiate operation between a Model 3144P transmitter with dual-sensor
option and the HART Tri-Loop, consider the configuration of both the
differential, average, first good temperatures, Sensor Drift Alert, and Hot
Backup features (if applicable).
Differential Temperature Measurement
To enable the differential temperature measurement feature of a
dual-sensor Model 3144P operating in conjunction with the HART
Tri-Loop, adjust the range end points of the corresponding channel on the
HART Tri-Loop to include zero. For example, if the secondary variable of
the transmitter is to report the differential temperature, configure the
transmitter accordingly (see “Set Process Variable Output Order” on
page 3-24) and adjust the corresponding channel of the HART Tri-Loop so
one range end point is negative and the other is positive.
Hot Backup
To enable the Hot Backup feature of a Model 3144P transmitter with
dual-sensor option operating in conjunction with the HART Tri-Loop,
ensure that the output units of the sensors are the same as the units of the
HART Tri-Loop. Use any combination of RTDs or thermocouples as long
as the units of both match the units of the HART Tri-Loop.
Using the Tri-Loop to Detect Sensor Drift Alert
The dual-sensor Model 3144P transmitter sets a failure flag (via HART)
whenever a sensor failure occurs. If an analog warning is required, the HART
Tri-Loop can be configured to produce an analog signal that can be
interpreted by the control system as a sensor failure.
Use these steps to set up the HART Tri-Loop to transmit sensor failure alerts.
1. Configure the dual-sensor Model 3144P variable map as shown .
2. Configure Channel 1 of the HART Tri-Loop as TV (differential
temperature). If either sensor should fail, the differential temperature
output will be +9999 or –9999 (high or low saturation), depending on the
position of the Failure Mode Switch (see “Failure Mode and Security
Switch Locations” on page 2-5).

3. Select temperature units for Channel 1 that match the differential
temperature units of the transmitter.
4. Specify a range for the TV such as –100 to 100 °C. If the range is large,
then a sensor drift of a few degrees will represent only a small percent of
range. If Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 fails, the TV will be +9999 (high
saturation) or –9999 (low saturation). In this example, zero is the
midpoint of the TV range. If a ∆T of zero is set as the lower range limit
(4 mA), then the output could saturate low if the reading from Sensor 2
exceeds the reading from Sensor 1. By placing zero in the middle of the
range, the output will normally stay near 12 mA, and the problem will be
avoided.
5. Configure the DCS so that TV <–100 °C or TV >100 °C indicates a
sensor failure and, for example, TV ≤–3 °C or TV ≥3 °C indicates a drift
alert. See Figure 3-5.

SAFETY MESSAGES Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to
ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that
raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol ( ). Please
refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation
preceded by this symbol.
Warning
Explosions may result in death or serious injury.
• Do not remove the instrument cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is
live.
• Before connecting a HART communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure
the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or
non-incendive field wiring practices.
• Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof
requirements.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury. If the sensor is installed in a
high-voltage environment and a fault or installation error occurs, high voltage may be
present on transmitter leads and terminals.
• Use extreme caution when making contact with the leads and terminals.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury:
• Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
Process leaks could result in death or serious injury:
• Install and tighten thermowells or sensors before applying pressure, or process
leakage may result.
• Do not remove the thermowell while in operation. Removing while in operation may
cause process fluid leaks.

CALIBRATION Calibrating the transmitter increases the precision of your measurement
system. The user may use one or more of a number of trim functions when
calibrating. To understand the trim functions, it is necessary to understand
that smart transmitters operate differently from analog transmitters. An
important difference is that smart transmitters are factory-characterized; they
are shipped with a standard sensor curve stored in the transmitter firmware.
In operation, the transmitter uses this information to produce a process
variable output, dependent on the sensor input. The trim functions allow the
user to make adjustments to the factory-stored characterization curve by
digitally altering the transmitter’s interpretation of the sensor input.
Calibration of the Model 3144P may include the following procedures:
• Sensor Input Trim: digitally alter the transmitter’s interpretation of the
input signal
• Transmitter Sensor Matching: generates a special custom curve to
match that specific sensor curve, as derived from the Callendar-Van
Dusen constants
• Output Trim: calibrates the transmitter to a 4–20 mA reference scale
• Scaled Output Trim: calibrates the transmitter to a user-selectable
reference scale.
Trim the Transmitter The trim functions should not be confused with the rerange functions.
Although the rerange command matches a sensor input to a 4–20 mA
output—as in conventional calibration—it does not affect the transmitter’s
interpretation of the input.
One or more of the trim functions may be used when calibrating. The trim
functions are as follows
• Sensor Input Trim
• Transmitter Sensor Matching
• Output Trim
• Output Scaled Trim
Sensor Input Trim
The Sensor Trim command allows the user to digitally alter the transmitter’s
interpretation of the input signal as shown in Figure 4-1 on page 4-3. The
sensor trim command trims, in engineering (°F, °C, °R, K) or raw (Ω, mV)
units, the combined sensor and transmitter system to a site standard using a
known temperature source. Sensor trim is suitable for validation procedures
or for applications that require profiling the sensor and transmitter together.
Perform a sensor trim if the transmitters digital value for the primary variable
does not match the plant’s standard calibration equipment. The sensor trim
function calibrates the sensor to the transmitter in temperature units or raw
units. Unless the site-standard input source is NIST-traceable, the trim
functions will not maintain the NIST-traceability of your system

The wizard will continue through the process.
The transmitter may be restored to the factory default by selecting:
“Diagnostics and Calibration,” “Sensor Trim,” “Revert to Factory Trim.”
The wizard will recall the factory trim for a given sensor
Apply changes made (see “AMS” on page 3-5).
Active Calibrator and EMF Compensation
The transmitter operates with a pulsating sensor current to allow EMF
compensation and detection of open sensor conditions. Because some
calibration equipment requires a steady sensor current to function
properly, the “Active Calibrator Mode” feature should be used when an
Active Calibrator, which requires a constant sensor current, is connected.
Enabling this mode will temporarily set the transmitter to provide steady
sensor current unless two sensor inputs are configured. Disable this mode
before putting the transmitter back into the process. Disabling this mode
will set the transmitter back to pulsating current. “Active Calibrator Mode”
is volatile and will automatically be disabled when a Master Reset is
performed (via HART) or when power is cycled.
EMF compensation allows the transmitter to provide sensor
measurements that are not affected by unwanted voltages, which are
typically due to thermal EMFs in the equipment connected to the
transmitter or by some types of calibration equipment. If this equipment
also requires steady sensor current, the transmitter must be set to “Active
Calibrator Mode.” However, the steady current does not allow the
transmitter to perform EMF compensation. As a result, a difference in
readings between the Active Calibrator and actual sensor may exist.
If a reading difference is experienced and the difference is greater than the
plant’s accuracy specification allows, perform a sensor trim with “Active
Calibrator Mode” disabled. In this case, an active calibrator capable of
tolerating pulsating sensor current must be used or the actual sensors
must be connected to the transmitter. When the Model 275 HART
Communicator or AMS asks if an Active Calibrator is being used when the
sensor trim routine is entered, select No. This will leave the “Active
Calibrator Mode” disabled.
Contact a Emerson Process Management representative for more
information.
Transmitter-Sensor Matching
The Model 3144P accepts Callendar-Van Dusen constants from a calibrated
RTD schedule and generates a special custom curve to match that specific
sensor Resistance vs. Temperature performance. Matching the specific
sensor curve with the transmitter significantly enhances the temperature
measurement accuracy. See the comparison below:

D/A Output Trim or Scaled Output Trim
Perform an D/A output trim (scaled output trim) if the digital value for the
primary variable matches the plant standard but the transmitter’s analog
output does not match the digital value on the output device, such as the
ampmeter. The output trim function calibrates the transmitter analog output to
a 4–20 mA reference scale; the scaled output trim function calibrates to a
user-selectable reference scale. To determine the need for an output trim or a
scaled output trim, perform a loop test (see “Loop Test” on page 3-22).

Model 3144P
Maintenance The Model 3144P transmitter has no moving parts and require a minimum
amount of scheduled maintenance. The transmitter features a modular design
for easy maintenance. If a malfunction is suspected, check for an external
cause before performing the diagnostics as discussed in this section.
Test Terminal
The test terminal, marked as TEST or (“T”) on the terminal block, and the
negative (-) terminal accept MINIGRABBER™, or alligator clips, and facilitate
in-process checks (see Figure 2-8 on page 2-10). The test and the negative
terminals are connected across a diode through which the loop signal current
passes. The current measuring equipment shunts the diode when connected
across the test (T) and negative (-) terminals; so as long as the voltage across
the terminals is kept below the diode threshold voltage, no current passes
through the diode. To ensure that there is no leakage current through the
diode while making a test reading, or while an indicating meter is connected,
the resistance of the test connection or meter should not exceed 10 ohms. A
resistance value of 30 ohms will cause an error of approximately 1.0 percent
of reading.
Sensor Checkout
If the sensor is installed in a high-voltage environment and a fault condition or
installation error occurs, the sensor leads and transmitter terminals could
carry lethal voltages. Use extreme caution when making contact with the
leads and terminals.
To determine whether the sensor is at fault, either replace it with another
sensor or connect a test sensor locally at the transmitter to test remote sensor
wiring. Transmitters with Option Code C7 (Trim to Special Sensor), are
matched to a specific sensor. Select any standard, off-the-shelf sensor for use
with the transmitter, or consult the factory for a replacement special
sensor/transmitter combination.
Disassembling the Electronics Housing
The transmitter is designed with a dual-compartment housing; one
compartment contains the electronics module, and the other compartment
contains all wiring terminals and the communication receptacles.
Removing the Electronics Module
The Model 3144P electronics module is located in the compartment opposite
the wiring terminals.
Use the following procedure to remove the electronics module.
NOTE
The electronics are sealed in a moisture-proof plastic enclosure referred to as
the electronics module. The module is a non-repairable unit; The entire unit
must be replaced if a malfunction occurs.

1. Disconnect the power to the transmitter.
2. Remove the cover from the electronics side of the transmitter housing
(see “ Transmitter Exploded View” on page A-7). Do not remove the
covers in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is live. Remove the
LCD meter, if applicable.
3. Loosen the two screws that anchor the electronics module assembly to
the transmitter housing.
4. Firmly grasp the screws and assembly and pull it straight out of the
housing, taking care not to damage the interconnecting pins.
NOTE
Note the transmitter’s security switch position (ON or OFF) and the failure
mode switch position (LO or HI). If you are replacing the electronics module
with a new one, make sure the security and alarm switch is set in the same
position.
Transmitter Security and Failure Mode Switches
The transmitter security and failure mode switches are located on the front of
the electronics module, as shown in “Switch Location” on page A-7. See
“Mounting and Installation” on page 2-6 for more information.
ASSEMBLING THE
ELECTRONICS
HOUSING
Replacing the
Electronics Module
Use the following procedure to reassemble the electronics housing for the
Model 3144P transmitter:
1. Examine the electronics module to ensure that the failure mode and
transmitter security switches are in the desired positions.
2. Carefully insert the electronics module to mate the interconnecting pins
with the necessary receptacles on the electronics board.
3. Tighten the two mounting screws. Replace the LCD meter, if applicable.
4. Replace the cover. Tighten 1/6 of a revolution after the cover begins to
compress the O-ring. Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to
meet explosion proof requirements.
LCD Meter Diagnostic
Messages
The LCD meter displays abbreviated diagnostic messages for troubleshooting
the transmitter. To accommodate two-word messages, the display alternates
between the first and second word. Some diagnostic messages have a higher
priority than others, so messages appear according to their priority, with
normal operating messages appearing last. The meter displays messages
simultaneously on the Process Variable and Process Variable Unit lines as
shown in “LCD Meter Faceplate” on page A-7. Messages on the Process
Variable line refer to general device conditions, while messages on the
Process Variable Unit line refer to specific causes for these conditions. A
description of each diagnostic message follows.

[BLANK]
If the meter does not appear to function, make sure the transmitter is
configured for the meter option you desire. The meter will not function if the
LCD Meter option is set to Not Used.
FAIL -or- HDWR FAIL
This message indicates one of several conditions including:
• The transmitter has experienced an electronics module failure.
• The transmitter self-test has failed.
If diagnostics indicate a failure of the electronics module, replace the
electronics module with a new one. Contact the nearest Emerson Process
Management Field Service Center if necessary.
SNSR 1 FAIL -or- SNSR 2 FAIL
The transmitter has detected an open or shorted sensor condition. The
sensor(s) might be disconnected, connected improperly, or malfunctioning.
Check the sensor connections and sensor continuity.
SNSR 1 SAT -or- SNSR 2 SAT
The temperature sensed by the transmitter exceeds the sensor limits for this
particular sensor type.
HOUSG SAT
The transmitter operating temperature limits (–40 to 185 °F (40 to
85 °C)) have been exceeded.
LOOP FIXED
During a loop test or a 4–20 mA output trim, the analog output defaults to a
fixed value. The Process Variable line of the display alternates between the
amount of current selected in milliamperes and “WARN.” The Process
Variable Unit line toggles between “LOOP,” “FIXED,” and the amount of
current selected in milliamperes.
OFLOW
The location of the decimal point, as configured in the meter setup, is not
compatible with the value to be displayed by the meter. For example, if the
meter is measuring a process temperature greater than 9.9999 degrees, and
the meter decimal point is set to 4 digit precision, the meter will display an
“OFLOW” message because it is only capable of displaying a maximum value
of 9.9999 when set to 4 digit precision.
HOT BU
Hot Backup is enabled and Sensor 1 has failed. This message is displayed on
the Process Variable line and is always accompanied by a more descriptive
message on the Process Variable Unit line. In the case of a Sensor 1 failure
with Hot Backup enabled, for example, the Process Variable line displays
“HOT BU,” and the Process Variable Unit line alternates between “SNSR 1”
and “FAIL.”

Model 3144P
The alarm levels are user-selectable using the failure mode switch. If failure
occurs, the position of the hardware switch determines the direction in which
the output is driven (HI or LO). The switch feeds into the digital-to-analog
(D/A) converter, which drives the proper alarm output even if the
microprocessor fails. The values at which the transmitter drives its output in
failure mode depends on whether it is configured to standard,
or NAMUR-compliant (NAMUR recommendation NE 43, June 1997)
operation. The values for standard and NAMUR-compliant operation are as
follows:
Table A-1. Operation
Parameters
Custom Alarm and Saturation Levels
Custom factory configurations of alarm and saturation levels are available for
valid values with option code C1. These values can also be configured in the
field using a HART Communicator.
Physical Conduit Connections
The standard field mount housing has ½–14 NPT conduit entries. Additional
conduit entry type are available, including PG13.5 (PG11), M20 X 1.5 (CM20),
or JIS G ½. When an of these additional entry types are ordered, adapters are
placed in the standard field housing so these alternative conduit types fit
correctly. See Dimensional drawings for increased dimensions.

Emerson Process Management Conformance to Specifications
A Rosemount product not only meets its published specifications, but most likely exceeds them.
Advanced manufacturing techniques and the use of Statistical Process Control provide specification
conformance to at least ± 3(1). Our commitment to continual improvement ensures that product design,
reliability, and performance will improve annually.
For example, the Reference Accuracy distribution for the Model 3144P is shown to the right. Our
Specification Limits are ± 0.10 °C, but, as the shaded area shows, approximately 68% of the units
perform three times better than the limits. Therefore, it is very likely that you will receive a device that
performs much better than our published specifications.
Conversely, a vendor who “grades” product without using Process Control, or who is not committed to ±

Table A-2. Model 3144P Input Options and Accuracy
Reference Accuracy Example
When using a Pt 100 (α = 0.00385) sensor input with a 0 to 100 °C span:
Digital Accuracy would be ±0.10 °C, D/A accuracy would be ±0.02% of 100 °C
or ±0.02 °C, Total = ±0.12 °C.
Differential Capability Exists Between Any Two Sensor Types
(dual-sensor option)
For all differential configurations, the minimum and maximum input range is
X to +Y where:
• X = Sensor 1 minimum – Sensor 2 maximum
• Y = Sensor 1 maximum – Sensor 2 minimum.
Digital Accuracy for Differential Configurations (dual-sensor option)
• Sensor types are similar (e.g., both RTDs or both T/Cs): Digital Accuracy =
1.5 times worst case accuracy of either sensor type.
• Sensor types are dissimilar (e.g., one RTD, one T/C): Digital Accuracy =
Sensor 1 Accuracy + Sensor 2 Accuracy.

Ambient Temperature Effect
Transmitters may be installed in locations where the ambient temperature is
between –40 and 85 °C (–40 and 185 °F).
Each transmitter is individually characterized over this ambient temperature
range at the factory in order to maintain excellent accuracy performance.
The factory characterization technique is accomplished through extreme hot
and cold temperature profiling with individual adjustment factors programmed
into each transmitter. Transmitters automatically adjust for component drift
caused by changing environmental conditions.
Table A-3. Ambient
Temperature Effect
Temperature Effects Example
When using a Pt 100 (α = 0.00385) sensor input with a 0 to 100 °C span at
30 °C ambient temperature, the following statements would be true:
Digital Temp Effects: 0.0015 °C [(30 – 20)] = 0.015 °C
D/A Effects: [0.001% of 100] [(30 – 20)] = 0.01 °C
Worst Case Error: Digital + D/A + Digital Temp Effects + D/A Effects = 0.10 °C
+ 0.02 °C + 0.015 °C + 0.01 °C = 0.145 °C

OVERVIEW This section details the requirements for using the Model 3144P in Safety
Instrumented Systems (SIS). Although the Model 3144P is not certified for
functional safety per IEC61508, a complete Failure Modes, Effects, and
Diagnosis Analysis (FMEDA) was completed to determine the safe failure
fraction (SFF) when using this device in a SIS application.
FMEDA are the device characteristics that are taken into account when
attempting to achieve functional safety certification per IEC61508 of a device.
From the FMEDA, failure rates are determined for all temperature sensing
device options. Furthermore, the Safe Failure Fraction is calculated for each
of the four different input device configurations.
The Model 3144P is an isolated 2-wire 4-20 mA SMART device classified as
Type B according to IEC61508. It contains self-diagnostics and is
programmed to send its output to either a high or low failure state upon
internal detection of a failure.
The analysis shows that the device has a safe failure fraction between 60 and
90% (assuming that the logic solver is programmed to detect over-scale and
under-scale currents). The device has a safe failure fraction of over 90%
when used with a temperature sensing device, such as thermocouple or RTD.
The device can detect open and short circuit failures of these temperature
sensing devices.
Table C-1. Definitions
Abbreviation Description Definition
λHFail High(1)
(1) Detected by the logic solver.
Failure that will result in an output current that is
higher than 20 mA
λLFail Low(1) Failure that will result in an output current that is
lower than 4 mA
λDU Fail Dangerous Undetected Failure that is dangerous and that is not being
diagnosed by internal diagnostics
SFF Safe Failure Fraction Fraction of the overall failure rate of a device
that results in either a safe fault or a diagnosed
unsafe fault.

FAILURE RATE DATA
Model 3144P with and
without a RTD
The failure rates for the Model 3144P transmitter operating in 4-wire RTD
mode, excluding the failure rates for the sensing device, are as follows:
•λH = 32.85 * 10-9 failures per hour
•λL = 351.96 * 10-9 failures per hour(1)
•λDU = 74.29 * 10-9 failures per hour
• SFF = 83.82%(2)
If these are combined with failure rates for a closely coupled, shock protected,
4-wire RTD then the total failure rates for the temperature sensing subsystem
are as follows:
•λH = 32.85 * 10-9 failures per hour
•λL = 2331.96 * 10-9 failures per hour (1)
•λDU = 94.29 * 10-9 failures per hour
• SFF = 96.17%(2)
Model 3144P with and
without a Thermocouple
The failure rates for the Model 3144P transmitter operating in thermocouple
mode, excluding the failure rates for the sensing device, are as follows:
•λH = 32.85 * 10-9 failures per hour
•λL = 344.16 * 10-9 failures per hour(1)
•λDU = 74.29 * 10-9 failures per hour
• SFF = 82.62%
If these are combined with failure rates for a closely coupled thermocouple
then the total failure rates for temperature sensing subsystem are as follows:
•λH = 32.85 * 10-9 failures per hour
•λL = 5094.16 * 10-9 failures per hour(1)
•λDU = 329.29 * 10-9 failures per hour
• SFF = 93.96%(2)
(1) Assuming the specified failure state is low.
(2) Assuming the high and low out of range signals are detected by the logic solver.

Model 3144P
INSTALLATION No special installation practices are necessary with the Model 3144P in a
Safety Instrumented System. However, a full review of the Failure Mode and
Security switches is required. Follow the standard installation requirements
(see Section 2: Installation).
Switches Failure Mode Switch
The transmitter monitors itself during normal operation using an automatic
diagnostic routine. If the diagnostic routine detects a sensor failure or a failure
in the transmitter electronics, the transmitter goes into high or low alarm,
depending on the position of the failure mode switch.
The analog alarm and saturation values that the transmitter uses depend on
whether it is configured to standard (set by the factory) or NAMUR-compliant
operation. These values are also custom-configurable in both the factory and
the field using the Model 275 HART Communicator. The limits are:
•21.0 ≤ I ≤ 23 for high alarm
•3.5 ≤ I ≤ 3.75 for low alarm
The values for standard and NAMUR operation are as follows:
Transmitter Security Switch
The transmitter is equipped with a write-protect switch that can be positioned
to prevent both accidental and deliberate change of configuration data.
Changing Switch
Position
The Failure Mode and Security switches are located on the top center of the
electronics module (see Figure C-1). The electronics module is on the
electronics side of the transmitter housing. For transmitters with LCD meters,
the electronics module is located behind the LCD meter faceplate.
Without a LCD meter
1. If the transmitter is installed, set the loop to manual.
2. Remove the housing cover on the electronics side of the transmitter. Do
not remove the transmitter cover in explosive atmospheres when the
circuit is live.
3. Set the switches to the desired position (see Figure C-1).
4. Replace the transmitter cover. Both transmitter covers must be fully
engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.
5. Set the loop to automatic control.
Characteristics Standard Operation NAMUR-Compliant Operation
Fail High 21.75 mA ≤ I ≤ 23.0 mA 21.0 mA ≤ I ≤ 23.0 mA
High Saturation I ≥ 20.5 mA I ≥ 20.5 mA
Low Saturation I ≤ 3.90 mA I ≤ 3.8 mA
Fail Low I ≤ 3.75 mA I ≤ 3.6 mA
