for more instructions. The manual and this QIG are also available electronically on
www.rosemount.com.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious
injury:
Installation and servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. Do not
perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions, unless
qualified. Verify that the operating environment of the sensor and transmitter is consistent
with the appropriate FM, CSA, ATEX, or IECEx approval.
Do not connect a Rosemount 8712 to a non-Rosemount sensor that is located in an
explosive atmosphere.
January 2013
The sensor liner is vulnerable to handling damage. Never place anything through the
sensor for the purpose of lifting or gaining leverage. Liner damage can render the sensor
useless.
To avoid possible damage to the sensor liner ends, do not use metallic or spiral-wound
gaskets. If frequent removal is anticipated, take precautions to protect the liner ends.
Short spool pieces attached to the sensor ends are often used for protection.
Correct flange bolt tightening is crucial for proper sensor operation and life. All bolts must
be tightened in the proper sequence to the specified torque limits. Failure to observe
these instructions could result in severe damage to the sensor lining and possible sensor
replacement.

Quick Installation Guide
STEP 1: PRE-INSTALLATION
00825-0100-4664, Rev BB
January 2013
Before installing the Rosemount 8712 Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitter, there are several
pre-installation steps that should be completed to make the installation process easier:
• Identify the options and configurations that apply to your application
• Set the hardware switches if necessary
• Consider mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements
Rosemount 8712 / 8700 Series
Mechanical Considerations
The mounting site for the Rosemount 8712 transmitter should provide enough room for
secure mounting, easy access to conduit ports, full opening of the transmitter covers, and
easy readability of the LOI screen (see Figure 1).
The Rosemount 8712 is mounted separately from the sensor, it is not subject to limitations
that might apply to the sensor.

Rosemount 8712 / 8700 Series
Environmental Considerations
To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid excessive heat and vibration. Typical problem
areas include:
• Warm-climate installations in direct sunlight
• Outdoor installations in cold climates
Remote mounted transmitters may be installed in the control room to protect the electronics
from the harsh environment and provide easy access for configuration or service.
Remotely mounted Rosemount 8712 transmitters require external power so there must be
access to a suitable power source.
Installation Procedures
Rosemount 8712 installation includes both detailed mechanical and electrical installation
procedures.
Mount the Transmitter
At a remote site the transmitter may be mounted on a pipe up to two inches in diameter or
against a flat surface.
Pipe Mounting
To mount the transmitter on a pipe:
1. Attach the mounting plate to the pipe using the mounting hardware.
2. Attach the 8712 to the mounting plate using the mounting screws.
Identify Options and Configurations
The standard application of the 8712 includes a 4–20 mA output and control of the sensor
coils and electrodes. Other applications may require one or more of the following
configurations or options:
• Multidrop Communications
• Digital Output
• Digital Input
• Pulse Output
Additional options may apply. Be sure to identify those options and configurations that apply
to your situation, and keep a list of them nearby for consideration during the installation and
configuration procedures.
Hardware Jumpers/Switches
The 8712 electronics board is equipped with three user-selectable hardware switches.
These switches set the Failure Alarm Mode, Internal/External Analog Power, and
Transmitter Security. The standard configuration for these switches when shipped from the
factory are as follows:
Failure Alarm Mode: HIGH
Internal/External Analog Power:INTERNAL
Transmitter Security:OFF
Changing Hardware Switch Settings
In most cases, it is not necessary to change the setting of the hardware switches. If you
need to change the switch settings, complete the steps outlined in the manual.

Electrical Considerations
Before making any electrical connections to the Rosemount 8712, consider local and plant
electrical standards and be sure to have the proper power supply, conduit, and other
accessories necessary to comply with these standards.
Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible, transport the system to
the installation site in the original shipping containers. PTFE-lined sensors are shipped with
end covers that protect it from both mechanical damage and normal unrestrained distortion.
Remove the end covers just before installation.

January 2013
Rosemount 8712 / 8700 Series
Upstream/Downstream Piping
T o ensure specification accuracy over widely varying process conditions, install the sensor a
minimum of five straight pipe diameters upstream and two pipe diameters downstream from
the electrode plane (see Figure 3).
Figure 3. Upstream and Downstream StraightPipe Diameters
Installations with reduced straight runs from 0 to 5 pipe diameters are possible. In reduced
straight pipe run installations, performance will shift to as much as 0.5% of rate. Reported
flow rates will still be highly repeatable.
Flow Direction
The sensor should be mounted so the FORWARD end of the flow arrow, shown on the
sensor identification tag, points in the direction of flow through the sensor.
Sensor Orientation
The sensor should be installed in a position that ensures the sensor remains full during
operation. Vertical installation allows upward process fluid flow and keeps the
cross-sectional area full, regardless of flow rate. Horizontal installation should be restricted
to low piping sections that are normally full. In these cases, orient the electrode plane to
within 45° of horizontal.

Flanged Sensors
Gaskets
The sensor requires a gasket at each of its connections to adjacent devices or piping. The gasket
material selected must be compatible with the process fluid and operating conditions. Metallic or
spiral-wound gaskets can damage the liner. Gaskets are required on each side of a
grounding ring. All other applications (including sensors with lining protectors or a grounding
electrode) require only one gasket on each end connection.
Figure 6. Flanged gasket placement
Flange Bolts
NOTE
Do not bolt one side at a time. Tighten each side simultaneously. Example:
1. Snug left
2. Snug right
3. Tighten left
4. Tighten right
Do not snug and tighten the upstream side and then snug and tighten the downstream side.
Failure to alternate between the upstream and downstream flanges when tightening bolts
may result in liner damage.
Suggested torque values by sensor line size and liner type are listed in Table 1 for ASME
B16.5 (ANSI) and Table 2 for DIN flanges. Consult the factory if the flange rating of the
sensor is not listed. Tighten flange bolts on the upstream side of the sensor in the
incremental sequence shown in Figure 7, to 20% of the suggested torque values. Repeat
the process on the downstream side of the sensor. For sensors with more or less flange
bolts, tighten the bolts in a similar crosswise sequence. Repeat this entire tightening
sequence at 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of the suggested torque values or until the leak
between the process and sensor flanges stop.

If leakage has not stopped at the suggested torque values, the bolts can be tightened in
additional 10% increments until the joint stops leaking, or until the measured torque value
reaches the maximum torque value of the bolts. Practical consideration for the integrity of
the liner often leads the user to distinct torque values to stop leakage due to the unique
combinations of flanges, bolts, gaskets, and sensor liner material.
Check for leaks at the flanges after tightening the bolts. Failure to use the correct tightening
methods can result in severe damage. Sensors require a second tightening 24 hours after
the initial installation. Over time, sensor liner materials may deform under pressure.

Alignment
1. On 1.5 through 8-inch (40 through 200 mm) line sizes. Rosemount strongly recommends
installing the alignment spacers provided to insure proper centering of the wafer sensor
between the process flanges. Sensor sizes of 0.15, 0.30, 0.5 and 1 in. (4 through 25
mm), do not require alignment spacers.
2. Insert studs for the bottom side of the sensor between the pipe flanges and center the
alignment spacer in the middle of the stud. See Figure 8 for the bolt hole locations
recommended for the spacers provided. Stud specifications are listed in Table 3.
3. Place the sensor between the flanges. Make sure that the alignment spacers are
properly centered on the studs. For vertical flow installations slide the oring over the stud
to keep the spacer in place. See Figure 8. To ensure the spacers match the flange size
and class rating for the process flanges see Table 4.
4. Insert the remaining studs, washers, and nuts.
5. Tighten to the torque specifications shown in Table 5. Do not overtighten the bolts or the

Conduit Ports and Connections
This wiring section covers the connection between the transmitter and sensor, the 4-20 mA
loop, and supplying power to the transmitter. Follow the conduit information, cable
requirements, and disconnect requirements in the sections below.
Conduit Ports and Connections
Both the sensor and transmitter junction boxes have ports for 1/2-inch NPT conduit
connections with optional CM20 or PG 13.5 connections available. These connections
should be made in accordance with national, local, and plant electrical codes. Unused ports
should be sealed with metal plugs. Proper electrical installation is necessary to prevent
errors due to electrical noise and interference. Separate conduits are not necessary for the
coil drive and signal cables, but a dedicated conduit line between each transmitter and
sensor is required. Shielded cable must be used for best results in electrically noisy
environments. When preparing all wire connections, remove only the insulation required to
fit the wire completely under the terminal connection. Removal of excessive insulation may
result in an unwanted electrical short to the transmitter housing or other wire connections.
For flanged sensors installed into an application requiring IP68 protection, sealed cable
glands, conduit, and conduit plugs that meet IP68 ratings are required.
Conduit Requirements
A single dedicated conduit run for the coil drive and signal cable is needed between the
sensor and the remote transmitter. See Figure 14. Bundled cables in a single conduit are
likely to create interference and noise problems in the system. Use one set of cables per
conduit run.

• Rosemount combination cable part number 08732-0753-1003 (ft) or 08732-0753-2004
(m) is required to be used to meet EMC requirements.
Trans mi tte r to Se ns or W iring
The transmitter can be integral to the sensor or remotely mounted following the wiring
instructions.
Remote Mount Cable Requirements and Preparation
For installations using the individual coil drive and signal cable, lengths should be limited to
less than 1,000 feet (300 meters). Equal length cable is required for each. See Table 7.
For installations using the combination coil drive and signal cable, lengths should be limited
to less than 330 feet (100 meters). See Table 7.
Prepare the ends of the coil drive and signal cables as shown in Figure 15. Limit the
unshielded wire length to 1-inch on both the coil drive and signal cables. Any unsheathed
wire should be wrapped with proper insulation. Excessive lead length or failure to connect
cable shields can create electrical noise resulting in unstable meter readings.

Cabling considerations
If possible, use individually shielded twisted pair cable, either in single pair or multi-pair
varieties. Unshielded cables may be used for short distances, provided ambient noise and
cross-talk will not adversely impact communication. The minimum conductor size is 0.51 mm
diameter (#24 AWG) for cable runs less than 1,500 meters (@ 5,000 ft.) and 0.81 mm
diameter (#20 AWG) for longer distances. Resistance in the loop must be 1000 ohms or less.
The 4–20 mA analog output loop signal may be powered internally or externally. The default
position of the internal/external analog power switch is in the internal position. The
user-selectable power supply switch is located on the electronics board.
8712E - connect negative (-)DC to Terminal 8 and positive (+)DC to Terminal 7. See
Figure 18.
Figure 18. 8712E Analog Signal Wiring Diagram
Internal Power Source
The 4–20 mA analog signal loop is powered from the transmitter itself.
External Power Source
The 4–20 mA analog signal loop is powered from an external power source. HART multidrop
installations require a 10–30 V DC external analog power source.
NOTE:
If a HART Field Communicator or control system will be used, it must be connected across a
minimum of 250 ohms resistance in the loop.
To connect any of the other output options (pulse output and/or digital input/output), consult

Powering the Transmitter
The 8712E transmitter is designed to be powered by 90-250 Vac, 50–60 Hz or 12–42 Vdc.
Before connecting power to the Rosemount 8712E consider the following standards and be
sure to have the proper power supply, conduit, and other accessories. Wire the transmitter
according to national, local and plant electrical requirements for the supply voltage. See
Figure 19.
Figure 19. DC Power Supply Current Requirements
Supply Wire Requirements
Use 12 to 18 AWG wire rated for the proper temperature of the application. For connections
in ambient temperatures above 140 °F (60 °C), use a wire rated for 176 °F (80 °C). For
ambient temperatures greater than 176 °F (80 °C), use a wire rated for 230 °F (110 °C). For
DC powered transmitters with extended cable lengths, verify that there is a minimum of 12 V
DC at the terminals of the transmitter.
Disconnects
Connect the device through an external disconnect or circuit breaker. Clearly label the
disconnect or circuit breaker and locate it near the transmitter and per local electrical
control.
Installation Category
The installation category for the 8712E is (Overvoltage) Category II.

Step 7: Basic Configuration
Once the magnetic flowmeter is installed and power has been supplied, the transmitter must
be configured through the basic setup. These parameters can be configured through either
a local operator interface or a HART communication device. A table of all the parameters
are on page 26. Descriptions of the more advanced functions are included in the
comprehensive product manual.
Basic Setup
Tag
Tag is the quickest and shortest way of identifying and distinguishing between transmitters.
Transmitters can be tagged according to the requirements of your application. The tag may
be up to eight characters long.
Flow Rate Units
The flow rate units variable specifies the format in which the flow rate will be displayed. Units
should be selected to meet your particular metering needs.
Line Size
The line size (sensor size) must be set to match the actual sensor connected to the
transmitter. The size must be specified in inches.
URV (Upper Range Value)
The upper range value (URV) sets the 20 mA point for the analog output. This value is
typically set to full-scale flow. The units that appear will be the same as those selected under
the units parameter. The URV may be set between –39.3 ft/s to 39.3 ft/s
(–12 m/s to 12 m/s). There must be at least 1 ft/s (0.3 m/s) span between the URV and LRV.
LRV (Lower Range Value)
The lower range value (LRV) sets the 4 mA point for the analog output. This value is
typically set to zero flow. The units that appear will be the same as those selected under the
units parameter. The LRV may be set between –39.3 ft/s to 39.3 ft/s (–12 m/s to 12 m/s).
There must be at least 1 ft/s (0.3 m/s) span between the URV and LRV.
Calibration Number
The sensor calibration number is a 16-digit number used to identify sensors calibrated at the
Rosemount factory.

Local Operator Interface
The optional Local Operator Interface (LOI) provides an operator communications center for
the 8712E. By using the LOI, the operator can access any transmitter function for changing
configuration parameter settings, checking totalized values, or other functions. The LOI is
integral to the transmitter housing.
