Introduction
2Introduction
2.1System description
The flowmeter consists of a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is installed in-line with
the process piping; the transmitter can be integrally mounted to the sensor or remotely
mounted away from the sensor.
Figure 2-1: Intergral field mount transmitter
Figure 2-2: Remote field mount transmitter
Figure 2-3: Wall mount transmitter
The flow sensor contains two magnetic coils located on opposite sides of the sensor. Two
electrodes, located perpendicular to the coils and opposite each other, make contact with
the liquid. The transmitter energizes the coils and creates a magnetic field. A conductive
liquid moving through the magnetic field generates an induced voltage at the electrodes.
This voltage is proportional to the flow velocity. The transmitter converts the voltage
detected by the electrodes into a flow reading. A cross-sectional view is show in Figure 2-4.

3.1Handling and Lifting Safety
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, follow all lifting and
handling instructions.
• Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible, transport the
system to the installation site in the original shipping container.
• 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.
• Keep the shipping plugs in the conduit ports until you are ready to connect and seal
them. Appropriate care should be taken to prevent water ingress.
• The sensor should be supported by the pipeline. Pipe supports are recommended on
both the inlet and outlet sides of the sensor pipeline. There should be no additional
support attached to the sensor.
• Use proper PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) including safety glasses and steel
toed shoes.
• Do not lift the meter by holding the electronics housing or junction box.
• 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.
• Do not drop the device from any height.
3.2Location and Position
3.2.1Environmental considerations
To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid extreme temperatures and excessive vibration.
Typical problem areas include the following:
• High-vibration lines with integrally mounted transmitters
• Tropical/desert installations in direct sunlight
• Outdoor installations in arctic climates
Reference manual13
Page 14

Remote mounted transmitters may be installed in the control room to protect the
electronics from the harsh environment and to provide easy access for configuration or
service.
3.2.2Upstream and downstream piping
To ensure specified accuracy over widely varying process conditions, install the sensor
with a minimum of five straight pipe diameters upstream and two pipe diameters
downstream from the electrode plane.
Figure 3-1: Upstream and downstream straight pipe diameters
3.2.3
A. Five pipe diameters (upstream)
B. Two pipe diameters (downstream)
C. Flow direction
Installations with reduced upstream and downstream straight runs are possible. In
reduced straight run installations, the meter may not meet accuracy specifications.
Reported flow rates will still be highly repeatable.
Flow direction
The sensor should be mounted so that the arrow points in the direction of flow.

Reference manualSensor Installation
00809-0500-4750May 2019
3.2.4Sensor piping location and orientation
The sensor should be installed in a location that ensures it remains full during operation.
Depending on where it is installed, orientation must also be considered.
• Vertical installation with upward process fluid flow keeps the cross-sectional area full,
regardless of flow rate.
• Horizontal installation should be restricted to low piping sections that are normally full.
Figure 3-3: Sensor orientation
3.2.5
A. Flow direction
Electrode orientation
The electrodes in the sensor are properly oriented when the two measurement electrodes
are in the 3 and 9 o’clock positions or within 45 degrees from the horizontal, as shown on
the left side of Figure 3-4. Avoid any mounting orientation that positions the top of the
sensor at 90 degrees from the vertical position as shown on the right of Figure 3-4.

May 201900809-0500-4750
Figure 3-4: Electrode orientation
A. Correct orientation
B. Incorrect orientation
The sensor may require a specific orientation to comply with Hazardous Area T-code
rating. Refer to the appropriate reference manual for any potential restrictions.
3.3Sensor installation
Gaskets
The sensor requires a gasket at each process connection. The gasket material must be
compatible with the process fluid and operating conditions. Gaskets are required on each
side of a grounding ring (see Figure 3-5). All other applications (including sensors with
lining protectors or a grounding electrode) require only one gasket on each process
connection.
Note
Metallic or spiral-wound gaskets should not be used as they will damage the liner face of
the sensor. If spiral wound or metallic gaskets are required for the application, lining
protectors must be used.

B. Customer-supplied gasket
Bolts
Note
Do not bolt one side at a time. Tighten both sides simultaneously. Example:
1. Snug upstream
2. Snug downstream
3. Tighten upstream
4. Tighten downstream
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 3-2 for ASME
B16.5 flanges and Table 3-3 or Table 3-4 for EN 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 3-6 to 20% of the suggested torque values.
Repeat the process on the downstream side of the sensor. For sensors with greater or
fewer 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.
If leakage occurs 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 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. While under pressure, sensor materials
may deform over time and require a second tightening 24 hours after the initial
installation.

Electrical considerations
Before making any electrical connections to the transmitter, consider national, local, and
plant electrical installation requirements. Be sure to have the proper power supply,
conduit, and other accessories necessary to comply with these standards.
The transmitter requires external power. Ensure access to a suitable power source.
Table 4-2: Electrical data

Power inputAC power:
90–250VAC, 0.45A, 40VA
Standard DC power:
12–42VDC, 1.2A, 15W
FieldbusFieldbus segment requires a separate 9VDC to
32VDC power supply with a power conditioner
to decouple the power supply output from the
fieldbus wiring segment.
Environmental considerations
To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid extreme temperatures and excessive vibration.
Typical problem areas include the following:
• High-vibration lines with integrally mounted transmitters
• Tropical or desert installations in direct sunlight
• Outdoor installations in arctic climates
Remote mounted transmitters may be installed in the control room to protect the
electronics from the harsh environment and to provide easy access for configuration or

1. Assemble the hardware as needed to accommodate the mounting configuration.
2. Secure the transmitter to the mounting hardware.
For field mount style transmitters, the LOI/Display can be rotated in 90 degree increments
up to 180 degrees if desired. Do not rotate more than 180 degrees in any one direction.
4.4Wiring
4.4.1Conduit entries and connections
Transmitter conduit entry ports can be ordered with ½"-14NPT or M20 female threaded
connections. Conduit connections should be made in accordance with national, local, and
plant electrical codes. Unused conduit entries should be sealed with the appropriate
certified plugs. The plastic shipping plugs do not provide ingress protection.
4.4.2
Conduit requirements
• For installations with an intrinsically safe electrode circuit, a separate conduit for the
coil cable and the electrode cable may be required.
• For installations with non-intrinsically safe electrode circuit, or when using the
combination cable, a single dedicated conduit run for the coil drive and electrode cable
between the sensor and the remote transmitter may be acceptable. Removal of the
barriers for intrinsic safety isolation is permitted for non-intrinsically safe electrode
installations.
• Bundled cables from other equipment in a single conduit are likely to create
interference and noise in the system. See Figure 4-5 and Figure 4-6.
• Electrode cables should not be run together in the same cable tray with power cables.
• Output cables should not be run together with power cables.
• Select conduit size appropriate to feed cables through to the flowmeter.

Cable preparation
Prepare the ends of the coil drive and electrode cables as shown in Figure 4-10. Remove
only enough insulation so that the exposed conductor fits completely under the terminal
connection. Best practice is to limit the unshielded length (D) of each conductor to less
than one inch. Excessive removal of insulation may result in an unwanted electrical short
to the transmitter housing or other terminal connections. Excessive unshielded length, or
failure to connect cable shields properly, may also expose the unit to electrical noise,
resulting in an unstable meter reading.

4.4.8Fieldbus wiring
Transmitter communication input
The FOUNDATION fieldbus communication requires a minimum of 9VDC and a maximum of
32VDC at the transmitter communication terminals. Do not exceed 32VDC at the
transmitter communication terminals. Do not apply AC line voltage to the transmitter
communication terminals. Improper supply voltage can damage the transmitter.
Field wiring
Power independent of the transmitter power supply must be supplied for FOUNDATION
fieldbus communications. Use shielded, twisted pair for best results. In order to get
maximum performance in new applications, twisted pair cable specifically designed for
fieldbus communications should be used. The number of devices on a fieldbus segment is
limited by the power supply voltage, the resistance of the cable, and the amount of
current drawn by each device. See Table 4-10 for cable specifications.

Reference manualBasic Configuration
00809-0500-4750May 2019
5Basic Configuration
Once the magnetic flowmeter is installed and power has been supplied, the transmitter
basic setup parameters must be configured with a FOUNDATION fieldbus host (See
Communication methods). Configuration settings are saved in nonvolatile memory within
the transmitter.
The standard transmitter configuration, without Option Code C1, Custom Configuration,
is shipped with the following parameters:
• Engineering Units: ft/s
• Sensor Size: 3-in.
• Sensor Calibration Number: 100000501000000
Descriptions of more advanced functions are included in Advanced Configuration
Functionality.
5.1Communication methods
You will see references to the transmitter "LOI" (Local Operator Interface) in the fieldbus
parameter names and on configuration screens and tools. However this type of display
povides only one-way communication from the transmitter to the user for process
variables, status, and diagnostics.
All configuration and other communication from the user to the transmitter requires one
of two types of FOUNDATION fieldbus host:
• On an enhanced FF host, the transmitter parameters are displayed either in the form of a
menu tree (for example, a Field Communicator) or in the form of tabbed display
screens (for example, the AMS Intelligent Device Manager with DeltaV™ System). Both
the menu tree and tabbed display screens are provided as part of the unique Device
Description files specific to this transmitter.
• A basic FF host displays the transmitter parameters in the form of a list under the
Resource block and transducer blocks.
This document contains information for both types of host.
Note
Fieldbus configuration tools and hosts from some vendors may interpret device
information differently than others. As a result, you may notice slight differences in the
paths, locations, or parameter names on your host or configuration tool.
5.2FOUNDATION fieldbus configuration
Assigning physical device tag and node address
The transmitter is shipped with a blank physical device tag and a temporary address to
allow a host to automatically assign an address and a physical device tag. If the physical
device tag or address need to be changed, use the features of the configuration tool. The
tools do the following:
Reference manual53
Page 54
Basic ConfigurationReference manual
May 201900809-0500-4750
• Change the physical device tag to a new value.
• Change the address to a new address.
When the transmitter is at a temporary address, only the physical device tag and address
can be changed or written to. The resource, transducer, and function blocks are all
disabled.
Flow-specific AI block configuration
The factory configuration of the four Analog Input function blocks ("AI blocks") is the
following:
• One of them is configured for flow:
— CHANNEL parameter is set to 1
— XD_SCALE parameters are set to:
• EU_100: -39.37
• EU_0: -39.37
• UNITS_INDEX: ft/sec
• DECIMAL: 2
— L_TYPE parameter is set to Direct
• The other three are configured as Totalizer A, Totalizer B, and Totalizer C
For more information:
• For totalizer configuration, see Totalizer.
• For more information about AI block parameters, see Analog Input (AI) Function Block.
• For additional AI block configuration and troubleshooting, refer to FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus
Function Blocks, document 00809-0100-4783.
If you need to reconfigure the flow measurement AI block:
1. Set the CHANNEL parameter to 1 for flow.
2. Set the XD_SCALE parameters (EU_100, EU_0, UNITS_INDEX, and DECIMAL) to the
desired measurement scale from the flow measurement transducer.
3. Set the L_TYPE parameter to the desired linearization method, and then if
necessary, set the OUT_SCALE parameters:
• For direct measurement (the AI block output is the same as the XD_SCALE), set
L_TYPE to Direct. This completes the channel configuration.
• For indirect measurement (the AI block output is scaled from the XD_SCALE), set
L_TYPE to Indirect, and then set the OUT_SCALE parameters (EU_100, EU_0,
UNITS_INDEX, and DECIMAL) to the scale required by the control/monitoring
system.
General, flow-specific block configuration
In general, only the transducer block and AI blocks have configurations for flow-specific
parameters. All other function blocks are configured by linking the AI blocks to other
blocks to be used for control and/or monitoring applications.

6.1Hardware switches
The electronics are equipped with two user-selectable hardware switches. These switches
set the Transmitter Security and Simulate Enable.
6.1.1Transmitter security
The SECURITY switch allows the user to lock out any configuration changes attempted on
the transmitter.
• When the security switch is in the ON position, the configuration can be viewed but no
changes can be made.
• When the security switch is in the OFF position, the configuration can be viewed and
changes can be made.
6.1.2
6.1.3
The switch is in the OFF position when the transmitter is shipped from the factory.
Note
The flow rate indication and totalizer functions remain active when the SECURITY switch is
in either position.
Simulate mode
The Simulate Mode switch is used in conjunction with the Analog Input (AI) function block.
The switch is used to enable flow measurement and diagnostic alert simulation. To enable
the simulate enable feature, the switch must transition from OFF to ON after power is
applied to the transmitter, preventing the transmitter from being accidentally left in
simulate mode. Simulate Mode is set in the OFF position when shipped from the factory.
Changing hardware switch settings (field mount)
Note
The hardware switches are located on the top side of the electronics board and changing
their settings requires opening the electronics housing. If possible, carry out these
procedures away from the plant environment in order to protect the electronics.

Higher temperature applications and sensor insulation
best practices
Insulation of the magnetic flowmeter sensor is not typically recommended. However, in
applications with higher temperature process fluids (above 150°F / 65°C), plant safety,

sensor reliability, and sensor longevity can be improved with careful attention to proper
insulation.
1. In applications where process fluid permeation of the liner has been observed or
may be expected, the rate of permeation can be reduced by decreasing the
temperature gradient between the process fluid and the outside of the meter body.
In these applications only the space between the process flanges and the coil
housing should be insulated (see Figure 6-14).

C. Insulation
2. When insulation of the magnetic flowmeter sensor is required due to plant safety
standards designed to protect personnel from contact burns, extend the insulation
up to the coil housing, covering both ends of the sensor and flanges (Figure 6-15).
The insulation should NOT cover the coil housing or the terminal junction box.
Insulating the coil housing and the terminal junction box can result in overheating
of the coil compartment and terminals, resulting in erratic/erroneous flow readings
and potential damage or failure of the meter.

72Rosemount™ 8750W Transmitter with FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus Protocol
The transmitter features a full range of software functions, transmitter configurations, and
diagnostic settings. These features can be accessed and configured using a basic or
enhanced FF host.
7.2Configure outputs
7.2.1Pulse output
Enhanced FF host
Basic FF hostTB > PULSE CONFIGURATION (OD Index #38)
Under this function the pulse output of the transmitter can be configured.
Pulse scaling
Enhanced FF host
Basic FF hostTB > PULSE CONFIGURATION (OD Index #38)
Transmitter may be commanded to supply a specified frequency between 1 pulse/ day at
39.37 ft/sec (12 m/s) to 5000 Hz at 1 ft/sec (0.3 m/s).
Note
The maximum pulse scaling frequency for transmitters with an intrinsically safe output is
5000 Hz.
Note
Line size, special units, and density must be selected prior to configuration of the pulse
scaling factor.
The pulse output scaling equates one transistor switch closure pulse to a selectable
number of volume units. The volume unit used for scaling pulse output is taken from the
numerator of the configured flow units. For example, if gal/min had been chosen when
selecting the flow unit, the volume unit displayed would be gallons.
Pulse Output
Pulse Output > Factor
FACTOR
Note
The pulse output scaling is designed to operate between 0 and 5000 Hz. The minimum
conversion factor value is found by dividing the minimum span (in units of volume per
second) by 5000 Hz.
When selecting pulse output scaling, the maximum pulse rate is 5000 Hz. With the 10
percent over range capability, the absolute limit is 5500 Hz. For example, if you want the
transmitter to pulse every time 0.01 gallons pass through the sensor, and the flow rate is
5000 gal/min, you will exceed the 5000 Hz full-scale limit:
5000 gal

The best choice for this parameter depends upon the required resolution, the number of

the external counter.

PULSE_WIDTH
The factory default pulse width is 0.5 ms.
The width, or duration, of the pulse can be adjusted to match the requirements of
different counters or controllers (see Figure 7-1). These are typically lower frequency
applications (< 1000Hz). The transmitter will accept values from 0.1 ms to 650 ms.
For frequencies higher than 1000Hz, it is recommended to set the pulse mode to 50% duty
cycle by setting the pulse mode to frequency output.
The pulse width will limit the maximum frequency output, If the pulse width is set too wide
(more than 1/2 the period of the pulse) the transmitter will limit the pulse output. See
example below.

If pulse width is set to 100 ms, the maximum output is 5Hz; for a pulse width of 0.5 ms, the
maximum output would be 1000Hz (at the maximum frequency output there is a 50%
duty cycle).
To achieve the greatest maximum frequency output, set the pulse width to the lowest
value that is consistent with the requirements of the pulse output power source, pulse
driven external totalizer, or other peripheral equipment.
The maximum flow rate is 10,000 gpm. Set the pulse output scaling such that the
transmitter outputs 5000 Hz at 10,000 gpm.

The totalizer provides the total amount of fluid that has passed through the meter. There
are three available totalizers: Total A, Total B, and Total C. They can be independently
configured for one of the following options:
• Net - increments with forward flow and decrements with reverse flow (reverse flow
must be enabled).
• Reverse total - will only increment with reverse flow if reverse flow is enabled
• Forward total - will only increment with forward flow
All totalizer values will be reset if line size is changed. This will happen even if the totalizer
reset control is set to non-resettable.
The totalizers have the capability to increment the total to a maximum value of 50 feet per
second of flow (or the volumetric equivalent) for a period of 20 years before roll-over
occurs.

7.4Signal processing
The transmitter contains several advanced functions that can be used to stabilize erratic
outputs caused by process noise. The signal processing menu contains this functionality.
If the 37 Hz coil drive mode has been set, and the output is still unstable, the damping and
signal processing function should be used. It is important to set the coil drive mode to 37
Hz first, so the loop response time is not increased.
The transmitter provides for a very easy and straightforward start-up, and also
incorporates the capability to deal with difficult applications that have previously
manifested themselves in a noisy output signal. In addition to selecting a higher coil drive
frequency (37 Hz vs. 5 Hz) to isolate the flow signal from the process noise, the
microprocessor can actually scrutinize each input based on three user-defined parameters
to reject the noise specific to the application.
See Digital Signal Processing for the detailed description of how the signal processing
works.
7.4.1
Reference manual81
PV (flow) damping
Enhanced FF hostSignal Processing > Process Data > PV Damping
Primary variable damping allows selection of a response time, in seconds, to a step change
in flow rate. It is most often used to smooth fluctuations in output.
7.4.2Process density
Enhanced FF hostSignal Processing > Process Data > Density
Basic FF hostTB > DENSITY_CONSTANT (OD Index #34)
TB > DENSITY_CONSTANT_UNITS (OD Index #33)
Use the process density value to convert from a volumetric flow rate to a mass flow rate
using the following equation:
Low flow cutoff allows the user to set a low flow limit to be specified. The flow reading is
driven to zero for flow rates below the set point. The low flow cutoff units are the same as
the PV units and cannot be changed. The low flow cutoff value applies to both forward and
reverse flows.
Use reverse flow to enable or disable the transmitter's ability to read flow in the opposite
direction of the flow direction arrow (see Flow direction). This may occur when the process
has bi-directional flow, or when either the electrode wires or the coil wires are reversed
(see Troubleshooting Remote wiring). This also enables the totalizer to count in the
reverse direction.

3Empty pipe detection
86Rosemount™ 8750W Transmitter with FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus Protocol
The tunable empty pipe detection provides a means of minimizing issues and false
readings when the pipe is empty. This is most important in batching applications where
the pipe may run empty with some regularity. If the pipe is empty, this diagnostic will
activate, set the flow rate to 0, and deliver an alert.
Turning empty pipe on/off
8.3.1
Enhanced FF host
Basic FF hostSee Enabling the diagnostics.
The tunable empty pipe detection diagnostic can be turned on or off as required by the
application. The empty pipe diagnostic is shipped turned “On” by default.
The tunable empty pipe diagnostic has one read-only parameter, and two parameters that
can be custom configured to optimize the diagnostic performance.
Empty pipe (EP) value
Enhanced FF host
Basic FF hostTB > EP_VALUE (OD Index #56)
This parameter shows the current empty pipe value. This is a read-only value. This number
is a unit-less number and is calculated based on multiple installation and process variables
such as sensor type, line size, process fluid properties, and wiring. If the empty pipe value
exceeds the empty pipe trigger level for a specified number of updates, then the empty
pipe diagnostic alert will activate.
Empty pipe trigger level is the threshold limit that the empty pipe value must exceed
before the empty pipe diagnostic alert activates. The default setting from the factory is
100.
Empty pipe (EP) counts
Enhanced FF hostDiagnostics > Empty Pipe > Counts
Basic FF hostTB > EP_TRIG_COUNTS (OD Index #54)
Limits: 2 to 50
Empty pipe counts is the number of consecutive updates that the transmitter must receive
where the empty pipe value exceeds the empty pipe trigger level before the empty pipe
diagnostic alert activates. The default setting from the factory is 5.
8.3.2
Optimizing tunable empty pipe
The tunable empty pipe diagnostic is set at the factory to properly diagnose most
applications. If this diagnostic activates, the following procedure can be followed to
optimize the empty pipe diagnostic for the application.
1. Record the empty pipe value with a full pipe condition.
Full reading = 0.2
2. Record the empty pipe value with an empty pipe condition.
Empty reading = 80.0
3. Set the empty pipe trigger level to a value between the full and empty readings.
For increased sensitivity to empty pipe conditions, set the trigger level to a value
closer to the full pipe value.
Set the trigger level to 25.0
4. Set the empty pipe counts to a value corresponding to the desired sensitivity level
for the diagnostic.
For applications with entrained air or potential air slugs, less sensitivity may be
desired.
Set the counts to 10
8.4Electronics temperature
The transmitter continuously monitors the temperature of the internal electronics. If the
measured electronics temperature exceeds the operating limits of –40 to 140 °F (–40 to
60 °C) the transmitter will go into alarm and generate an alert.

configurable parameters.
Enhanced FF host
Basic FF hostTB > ELECT_TEMP (OD Index #57)
This parameter shows the current temperature of the electronics. This is a read-only value.
Diagnostics > Electronics Temperature
8.5Ground/wiring fault detection
The transmitter continuously monitors signal amplitudes over a wide range of frequencies.
For the ground/wiring fault detection diagnostic, the transmitter specifically looks at the
signal amplitude at frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz which are the common AC cycle
frequencies found throughout the world. If the amplitude of the signal at either of these
frequencies exceeds 5 mV, that is an indication that there is a ground or wiring issue and
that stray electrical signals are getting into the transmitter. The diagnostic alert will
activate indicating that the ground and wiring of the installation should be carefully
reviewed.
The ground/wiring fault detection diagnostic provides a means of verifying installations
are done correctly. If the installation is not wired or grounded properly, this diagnostic will
activate and deliver an alert. This diagnostic can also detect if the grounding is lost overtime due to corrosion or another root cause.
The ground/wiring fault detection diagnostic can be turned on or off as required by the
application. If the advanced diagnostics suite 1 (DA1 Option) was ordered, then the
ground/wiring fault detection diagnostic will be turned on. If DA1 was not ordered or
licensed, this diagnostic is not available.
The ground/wiring fault detection diagnostic has one read-only parameter. It does not
have any configurable parameters.
Line noise
Enhanced FF hostDiagnostics > Ground/Wiring Fault Detection > Line Noise
Basic FF hostTB > LINE_NOISE (OD Index #72)
The line noise parameter shows the amplitude of the line noise. This is a read-only value.
This number is a measure of the signal strength at 50/60 Hz. If the line noise value exceeds
5 mV, then the ground/wiring fault diagnostic alert will activate.
8.6High process noise detection
The high process noise diagnostic detects if there is a process condition causing an
unstable or noisy reading that is not an actual flow variation. A common cause of high
process noise is slurry flow, like pulp stock or mining slurries. Other conditions that cause
this diagnostic to activate are high levels of chemical reaction or entrained gas in the
liquid. If unusual noise or flow variation is seen, this diagnostic will activate and deliver an
alert. If this situation exists and is left without remedy, it will add additional uncertainty
and noise to the flow reading.

The high process noise diagnostic can be turned on or off as required by the application. If
the advanced diagnostics suite 1 (DA1 Option) was ordered, then the high process noise
diagnostic will be turned on. If DA1 was not ordered or licensed, this diagnostic is not
available.
High process noise parameters
The high process noise diagnostic has two read-only parameters. It does not have any
configurable parameters. This diagnostic requires that flow be present in the pipe and the
velocity be greater than1 ft/s (0.3 m/s).

This parameter shows the value of the signal to noise ratio at the coil drive frequency of 5
Hz. This is a read-only value. This number is a measure of the signal strength at 5 Hz
relative to the amount of process noise. If the transmitter is operating in 5 Hz mode, and
the signal to noise ratio remains below 25 for one minute, then the high process noise
diagnostic alert will activate.

strength at 37 Hz relative to the amount of process noise. If the transmitter is operating in
37 Hz mode, and the signal to noise ratio remains below 25 for one minute, then the high
process noise diagnostic alert will activate.
8.7Coated electrode detection
The coated electrode detection diagnostic provides a means of monitoring insulating
coating buildup on the measurement electrodes. If coating is not detected, buildup over
time can lead to a compromised flow measurement. This diagnostic can detect if the
electrode is coated and if the amount of coating is affecting the flow measurement. There
are two levels of electrode coating.
• Limit 1 indicates when coating is starting to occur, but has not compromised the flow
measurement.
• Limit 2 indicates when coating is affecting the flow measurement and the meter should
The coated electrode detection diagnostic can be turned on or off as required by the
application. If the advanced diagnostics suite 1 (DA1 option) was ordered, then the coated
electrode detection diagnostic will be turned on. If DA1 was not ordered or licensed, this
diagnostic is not available.

Coated electrode parameters
The coated electrode detection diagnostic has four parameters. Two are read-only and
two are configurable parameters. The electrode coating parameters need to be initially
monitored to accurately set the electrode coating limit levels for each application.
Basic FF hostTB > ELECTRODE_COATING_CFG > LEVEL_1 (OD Index #46)
Set the criteria for the electrode coating limit 1 which indicates when coating is starting to
occur, but has not compromised the flow measurement. The default value for this
parameter is 1000 k Ohm.

Basic FF hostTB > ELECTRODE_COATING_CFG > LEVEL_2 (OD Index #46)
Diagnostics > Electrode Coating > Level 2 Limit
Set the criteria for the electrode coating limit 2 which indicates when coating is affecting
the flow measurement and the meter should be serviced immediately. The default value
for this parameter is 2000 k Ohm.
Maximum electrode coating (EC)

8.8SMART™ Meter Verification
The SMART Meter Verification diagnostic provides a means of verifying the flowmeter is
within calibration without removing the sensor from the process. This diagnostic test
provides a review of the transmitter and sensor's critical parameters as a means to
document verification of calibration. The results of this diagnostic provide the deviation
amount from expected values and a pass/fail summary against user-defined criteria for the
application and conditions. The SMART Meter Verification diagnostic can be configured to
92Rosemount™ 8750W Transmitter with FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus Protocol
run continuously in the background during normal operation, or it can be manually
initiated as required by the application.
8.8.1Sensor baseline (signature) parameters
The SMART Meter Verification diagnostic functions by taking a baseline sensor signature
and then comparing measurements taken during the verification test to these baseline
results.
The sensor signature describes the magnetic behavior of the sensor. Based on Faraday's
law, the induced voltage measured on the electrodes is proportional to the magnetic field
strength. Thus, any changes in the magnetic field will result in a calibration shift of the
sensor. Having the transmitter take an initial sensor signature when first installed will
provide the baseline for the verification tests that are done in the future. There are three
specific measurements that are stored in the transmitter's non-volatile memory that are
used when performing the calibration verification.
Coil circuit resistance
8.8.2
Enhanced FF host
Basic FF hostTB > COIL_RESIST_VALUE (OD Index #99)
The coil resistance is a measurement of the coil circuit health. This value is used as a
baseline to determine if the coil circuit is still operating correctly.
Coil inductance (signature)
Enhanced FF host
Basic FF hostTB > COIL_INDUCT_VALUE (OD Index #96)
The coil inductance is a measurement of the magnetic field strength. This value is used as
a baseline to determine if a sensor calibration shift has occurred.
Electrode circuit resistance
Enhanced FF host
Basic FF hostTB > ELECT_RESIST_VALUE (OD Index #101)
The electrode circuit resistance is a measurement of the electrode circuit health. This
value is used as a baseline to determine if the electrode circuit is still operating correctly.
Meter Verification > Sensor Baseline > Coil Resistance
Meter Verification > Sensor Baseline > Coil Inductance
Meter Verification > Sensor Baseline > Electrode Resistance
Establishing the sensor baseline (signature)
The first step in running the SMART Meter Verification test is establishing the reference
baseline that the test will use as the baseline for comparison. This is accomplished by
having the transmitter take a baseline of the sensor.
Reset baseline (re-signature meter)
Enhanced FF host
Reference manual93
Meter Verification > Sensor Baseline > Re-Baseline Sensor
Basic FF hostTB > PERFORM_REFINGERPRINT_FLOWTUBE (OD Index #110)
Having the transmitter take an initial sensor baseline when first installed will provide the
comparison point for the verification tests that are done in the future. The sensor baseline
should be taken during the start-up process when the transmitter is first connected to the
sensor, with a full line, and ideally with no flow in the line. Running the sensor baseline
procedure when there is flow in the line is permissible, but this may introduce some noise
into the electrode circuit resistance measurement. If an empty pipe condition exists, then
the sensor baseline should only be run for the coils.
Once the sensor baseline process is complete, the measurements taken during this
procedure are stored in non-volatile memory to prevent loss in the event of a power
interruption to the meter. This initial sensor signature is required for both manual and
continuous SMART Meter Verification.
Recall values (recall last saved)
8.8.3
Enhanced FF host
Basic FF hostTB > RECALL_FINGERPRINT_VALUES (OD Index #109)
Meter Verification > Sensor Baseline > Recall Last Baseline
In the event that the sensor baseline was reset accidentally or incorrectly, this function will
restore the previously saved sensor baseline values.

The Smart Meter Verification diagnostic provides the ability to customize the test criteria
to which the verification must be tested. The test criteria can be set for each of the flow
conditions discussed above.
No flow limit
Enhanced FF host
Basic FF hostTB > METER_VERIF_NO_FLOW_LIM (OD Index #108)

Continuous Verification Limit
Basic FF hostTB > CONT_METER_VERIFY_ LIMIT (OD Index #84)
Set the test criteria for the continuous SMART Meter Verification diagnostic. The factory
default for this value is set to five percent with limits configurable between two and ten
percent. If the tolerance band is set too tightly, under empty pipe conditions or noisy
flowing conditions, a false failure of the transmitter test may occur.
8.9Run manual SMART Meter Verification
Enhanced FF hostOverview > Run Meter Verification
Basic FF hostTB > PERFORM_METER_VERIFY (OD Index #111)
The SMART Meter Verification diagnostic will be available if the advanced diagnostic suite
(DA2) was ordered. If DA2 was not ordered or licensed, this diagnostic will not be
available. This method will initiate the manual meter verification test.
8.9.1
Test conditions

Conditions
Basic FF hostTB > METER_VERIF_TEST_COND_IN (OD Index #87)
SMART Meter Verification can be initiated under three possible test conditions. This
parameter is set at the time that the sensor baseline or SMART Meter Verification test is
manually initiated.
No flow
Run the SMART Meter Verification test with a full pipe and no flow in the
line. Running the SMART Meter Verification test under this condition
provides the most accurate results and the best indication of magnetic
flowmeter health.
Flowing
full
Reference manual95
Run the SMART Meter Verification test with a full pipe and flow in the line.
Running the SMART Meter Verification test under this condition provides
the ability to verify the magnetic flowmeter health without shutting down
the process flow in applications when a shutdown is not possible. Running
the diagnostic under flowing conditions can cause a false test failure if there
is significant process noise present.
Empty
pipe
Run the SMART Meter Verification test with an empty pipe. Running the
SMART Meter Verification test under this condition provides the ability to
verify the magnetic flowmeter health with an empty pipe. Running the
verification diagnostic under empty pipe conditions will not check the
electrode circuit health.
8.9.2Test scope

Basic FF hostTB > METER_VERIF_TEST_SCOPE (OD Index #86)
The manually initiated SMART Meter Verification test can be used to verify the entire
flowmeter installation or individual parts such as the transmitter or sensor. This parameter
is set at the time that the SMART Meter Verification test is manually initiated. There are
three test scopes from which to choose.

8.11SMART Meter Verification test results
If the SMART Meter Verification test is manually initiated, the transmitter will make several
measurements to verify the transmitter calibration, sensor calibration, coil circuit health,
and electrode circuits health. The results of these tests can be reviewed and recorded on
the calibration verification report (see Optimizing continuous SMART Meter Verification) .
This report can be used to validate that the meter is within the required calibration limits
to comply with governmental regulatory agencies.
Depending on the method used to view the results, they will be displayed in either a menu
structure, as a method, or in the report format.
The results are displayed in the order found in the following table. Each parameter displays
a value used in the SMART Meter Verification diagnostic evaluation of the meter health.

8.12SMART Meter Verification measurements
The SMART Meter Verification test will make measurements of the coil resistance, coil
inductance, and electrode resistance and compare these values to the values taken during
the sensor baseline process to determine the sensor calibration deviation, the coil circuit
health, and the electrode circuit health. In addition, the measurements taken by this test
can provide additional information when troubleshooting the meter.

8.13Optimizing the SMART Meter Verification
The SMART Meter Verification diagnostic can be optimized by setting the test criteria to
the desired levels necessary to meet the compliance requirements of the application. The
following examples below will provide some guidance on how to set these levels.
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
An effluent meter must be certified annually to comply with environmental
regulations. This example regulation requires that the meter be certified to
five percent. Since this is an effluent meter, shutting down the process may
not be viable. In this instance the SMART Meter Verification test will be
performed under flowing conditions. Set the test criteria for flowing, full to
five percent to meet the requirements of the governmental agencies.
A pharmaceutical company requires bi-annual verification of meter
calibration on a critical feed line for one of their products. This is an internal
standard, and the plant requires a calibration record be kept on-hand. Meter
calibration on this process must meet two percent. The process is a batch
process so it is possible to perform the calibration verification with the line
full and with no flow. Since the SMART Meter Verification test can be run
under no flow conditions, set the test criteria for no flow to two percent to
comply with the necessary plant standards.
A food and beverage company requires an annual calibration of a meter on a
product line. The plant standard calls for the accuracy to be three percent or
better. They manufacture this product in batches, and the measurement
cannot be interrupted when a batch is in process. When the batch is
complete, the line goes empty. Since there is no means of performing the
SMART Meter Verification test while there is product in the line, the test
must be performed under empty pipe conditions. The test criteria for empty
pipe should be set to three percent, and it should be noted that the
electrode circuit health cannot be verified.
8.13.1Optimizing continuous SMART Meter Verification
For continuous SMART Meter Verification, there is only one test criteria value to configure,
and it will be used for all flow conditions. The factory default is set to five percent to
minimize the potential for false failures under empty pipe conditions. For best results, set
the criteria to match the maximum value of the three test criteria set during manual meter
verification (no flow, flowing full, and empty pipe).
For example, a plant might set the following manual meter verification test criteria: two
percent for no flow, three percent for flowing full, and four percent for empty pipe. In this
case, the maximum test criterion is four percent, so the test criteria for continuous SMART
Meter Verification should be set to four percent. If the tolerance band is set too tightly,
under empty pipe conditions or noisy flowing conditions, a false failure of the transmitter
test may occur.
