Application Safety Considerations
 Protecting Operating Processes
A failure of this application — for whatever reason -may leave an operating process without appropriate
protection and could result in possible damage to property or injury to persons. To protect against this, you
should review the need for additional backup equipment or provide alternate means of protection (such as
alarm devices, output limiting, failsafe valves, relief valves, emergency shutoffs, emergency switches, etc.)
System Training
A well-trained workforce is critical to the success of your operation. Knowing how to correctly install, configure,
program, calibrate, and trouble-shoot your Emerson equipment provides your engineers and technicians with
the skills and confidence to optimize your investment. Remote Automation Solutions offers a variety of ways for
your personnel to acquire essential system expertise. Our full-time professional instructors can conduct
classroom training at several of our corporate offices, at your site, or even at your regional Emerson office. You
can also receive the same quality training via our live, interactive Emerson Virtual Classroom and save on travel
costs. For our complete schedule and further information, contact the Remote Automation Solutions Training
Department at 800-338-8158 or email us at [email protected].
