January 2013

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 or CSA approval.

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.

Rosemount 8750WA

Before installing the Rosemount 8750WA 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

Mechanical Considerations

The mounting site for the Rosemount 8750WA 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 and Figure 2).

If the Rosemount 8750WA transmitter is mounted separately from the sensor, it is not
subject to limitations that might apply to the sensor.

Environmental Considerations

To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid excessive heat and vibration. Typical problem
areas:

• high-vibration lines with integrally mounted transmitters

• 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.

Both remotely and integrally mounted Rosemount 8750WA transmitters require external
power so there must be access to a suitable power source.

Installation Procedures

Rosemount 8750WA 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 bracket to the pipe using the mounting hardware.

2. Attach the Rosemount 8750WA transmitter to the mounting bracket using the mounting

screws.

Identify Options and Configurations

The standard application of the 8750WA 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 8750WA electronics board is equipped with three or four user-selectable hardware
switches depending on the transmitter model ordered. These switches set the Failure Alarm
Mode, Internal/External Analog Power, Internal/External Pulse Power (8750WA32), and
Transmitter Security. The standard configuration for these switches when shipped from the
factory is as follows:

Failure Alarm Mode: HIGH
Internal/External Analog Power: INTERNAL
Internal/External Pulse Power: EXTERNAL (8750WA32 only)
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 8750WA, consider the local and
plant electrical standards and be sure to have the proper power supply, conduit, and other
accessories.

Rotate Transmitter Housing

The integral electronics housing can be rotated on the sensor in 90° increments by
loosening the four mounting bolts on the bottom of the housing, and reinstalling the bolts.
When reinstalling the housing, be sure the surface is clean and there is no gap between the
housing and the sensor.

Upstream/Downstream Piping

To 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 4).

Figure 4. Upstream and Downstream Straight Pipe Diameters

The 8750WA sensor may be installed with as few as zero pipe diameters upstream. Consult
the factory for performance in applications with less than ideal straight runs.

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 degrees 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 7. Flanged gasket placement

Flange Bolts

Suggested torque values by sensor line size and liner type are listed in Table 1 on page 11.
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 8 on page 11 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. The smaller line sizes, 0.5 and 1 in. (15 and
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 9 for the bolt hole locations
recommended for the spacers provided. Stud specifications are listed in Table 2.

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 9. To ensure the spacers match the flange size
and class rating for the process flanges see Table 3.

4. Insert the remaining studs, washers, and nuts.

5. Tighten to the torque specifications shown in Table 4 on page 13. Do not overtighten the
bolts or the liner may be damaged.

NOTE

Using carbon steel bolts on smaller line sizes, 0.5 and 1 in. (15 and 25 mm), rather than the
required stainless steel bolts, will degrade performance.
