separate flowtube and transmitter units, and measures volumetric flow rate by
detecting the velocity of a conductive liquid that passes through a magnetic
field. Magnetic Flowmeter Systems consist of a flowtube and a transmitter.
There are three Rosemount magnetic flowmeter flowtubes:
•Flanged Rosemount 8705
•Flanged High-Signal Rosemount 8707
•Wafer-Style Rosemount 8711
•Sanitary 8721
There are three Rosemount magnetic flowmeter transmitters:
•Rosemount 8712D/H
•Rosemount 8732C
•Rosemount 8742C
The flowtube is installed in-line with process piping — either vertically or
horizontally. Coils located on opposite sides of the flowtube create a magnetic
field. A conductive liquid moving through the magnetic field generates a
voltage at the two electrodes that is proportional to the flow velocity.
The transmitter drives the coils to generate a magnetic field and electronically
conditions the voltage detected by the electrodes. The transmitter then
amplifies and conditions the electrode signal to provide a flow signal. The
transmitter can be integrally mounted or remotely mounted from the flowtube.

SAFETY INFORMATION
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 flowtube and transmitter is
consistent with the appropriate FM or CSA approval.
Do not connect a Rosemount 8742C to a non-Rosemount flowtube that is located in an
explosive atmosphere.
The flowtube liner is vulnerable to handling damage. Never place anything through the
flowtube for the purpose of lifting or gaining leverage. Liner damage can render the
flowtube useless.
To avoid possible damage to the flowtube 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 flowtube ends are often used for
protection.
Correct flange bolt tightening is crucial for proper flowtube 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 flowtube lining and
possible flowtube replacement.

PRE-INSTALLATIONBefore installing the Rosemount 8742C Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitter,
there are several pre-installation steps that should be completed to make the
installation process easier. They include identifying the options and
configurations that apply to your application, setting the hardware switches if
necessary, and consideration of physical requirements.
The mounting site for the 8742C should provide enough room for secure
mounting, easy access to the conduit ports, and full opening of the transmitter
covers.
To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid excessive heat and vibration.
Typical problem areas include high-vibration lines with integrally mounted
transmitters, warm-climate installations in direct sunlight, and outdoor
installations in cold climates. To avoid potential problems, remotely mounted
transmitters may be installed in the control room. This protects the electronics
from the harsh environment and provides easy access for configuration or
service.
The Rosemount 8742C transmitter requires external power regardless of
whether it is mounted remotely or integrally to the flowtube. Access to a
suitable power source must be ensured.
Identify Options and
Configurations
The standard application of the Rosemount 8742C includes a FOUNDATION
fieldbus output. Be sure to identify options and configurations that apply to
your situation, and keep a list of them nearby for consideration during the
installation and configuration procedures.
Hardware SwitchesThe Rosemount 8742C electronics board is equipped with two
user-selectable hardware switches. These switches set Simulate Enable and
Transmitter Security. The standard configurations for these switches when
shipped from the factory are as follows:
Simulate Enable: Off
Transmitter Security: Off
Definitions of these switches and their functions are provided below. The
switches are located on the outerboard of the electronics transmitter stack.
See Figure 2-1 on page 2-3.
Simulate EnableThe simulate enable switch is used in conjunction with the Analog Input (AI)
function block. The switch is used to enable flow measurement simulation.
The switch is also used as a lock-out feature for the AI function block. To
enable the simulate enable feature, the switch must transition form OFF to
ON after power is applied to the transmitter, preventing the transmitter from
being accidentally left in simulate mode.
Transmitter SecurityAfter you configure the transmitter, you may want to protect the configuration
data from unwarranted changes. Each transmitter is equipped with a security
switch that can be positioned ON to prevent the accidental or deliberate
change of configuration data.

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 below:
NOTE
The hardware switches are located on the electronics board and changing
their settings requires opening of the electronics housing. If possible, carry out
these procedures away from the plant environment in order to protect the
electronics.
1.Disconnect power to the transmitter.
2.Unscrew and remove the electronics cover.
3.Identify the location of the switch.
4.Change the setting of the desired switches with a small screwdriver.
Refer to Figure 2-1.
5.Screw and tighten the electronics cover.
The electronics housing can be rotated on the flowtube in 90° increments by
loosening the four mounting bolts on the bottom of the housing, rotating the
housing, and reinstalling the bolts. Refer to Figure 2-2 on page 2-4. When the
housing is returned to its original position, be sure the surface is clean and
there is no gap between the housing and the flowtube.
See “Safety Information” on page 2-1 for complete warning information.
WIRINGCorrect cable preparation is important for a successful installation. The
conduit connections needed for installation depend on transmitter location. A
conduit run between the flowtube and transmitter is not required if the
transmitter is integrally mounted on the flowtube.
Conduit Ports
and Connections
Both the flowtube and transmitter junction boxes have ports for ¾-inch NPT
conduit connections. These connections should be made in accordance with
local or plant electrical codes. Unused ports should be sealed with metal
plugs. Housing damage will result if metal plugs
are overtightened.
Proper electrical installation is necessary to prevent errors due to electrical
noise and interference. Before making any electrical connections to the
Rosemount 8742C, consider the following standards and be sure to have
proper power supply, conduit, and other accessories. Shielded cable must be
used for best results in electrically noisy environments.
Conduit ConnectionsThe transmitter has ports for ¾–inch NPT conduit connections. If the port is
not being used, conduit seals should to be installed. In some cases, conduits
may also require drainage if moisture could build up in the line.

Flanged and wafer flowtubes have two conduit ports as shown in Figures
3-13, 3-14, 3-15, and 3-16. Either one may be used for both the coil drive and
electrode cables. Use the stainless steel plug that is provided to seal the
unused conduit port.
A single dedicated conduit run for the coil drive and electrode cables is
needed between a flowtube and a remote transmitter. Bundled cables in a
single conduit are likely to create interference and noise problems in your
system. Use one set of cables per conduit run. See Figure 2-6 for proper

FLOWTUBE MOUNTINGPhysical mounting of a flowtube is similar to installing a typical section of pipe.
Conventional tools, equipment, and accessories (bolts, gaskets, and
grounding hardware) are required.
Upstream/Downstream
Piping
To ensure specification accuracy over widely varying process conditions,
install the flowtube a minimum of five straight pipe diameters upstream and
two pipe diameters downstream from the electrode plane (see Figure 3-2).
Figure 3-2. Upstream and
Downstream
Straight Pipe Diameters

Flowtube OrientationThe flowtube should be installed in a position that ensures the flowtube
remains full during operation. Figures 3-3, 3-4, and 3-5 show the proper
flowtube orientation for the most common installations. The following
orientations ensure that the electrodes are in the optimum plane to minimize
the effects of entrapped gas.
Vertical installation allows upward process fluid flow and is generally
preferred. Upward flow keeps the cross-sectional area full, regardless
of flow rate. Orientation of the electrode plane is unimportant in vertical
installations. As illustrated in Figures 3-3 and 3-4, avoid downward flows
where back pressure does not ensure that the flowtube remains full at all
times.

Horizontal installation should be restricted to low piping sections that are
normally full. Orient the electrode plane to within 45 degrees of horizontal in
horizontal installations. A deviation of more than 45 degrees of horizontal
would place an electrode at or near the top of the flowtube thereby making it
more susceptible to insulation by air or entrapped gas at the top of the
flowtube.

The following section should be used as a guide in the installation of the
flange-type Rosemount 8705 and Rosemount 8707 High-Signal Flowtubes.
Refer to page 3-10 for installation of the wafer-type Rosemount 8711
Flowtube.
GasketsThe flowtube 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. If the gaskets will be removed frequently, protect the liner ends. All other
applications (including flowtubes with lining protectors or a grounding
electrode) require only one gasket on each end connection, as shown in
Figure 3-8. If grounding rings are used, gaskets are required on each side of
the grounding ring, as shown in Figure 3-9.
