Rosemount 8732

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Rosemount

sensor and transmitter, and measures volumetric flow rate by detecting the
velocity of a conductive liquid that passes through a magnetic field.

There are four Rosemount magnetic flowmeter sensors:

• Flanged Rosemount 8705

• Flanged High-Signal Rosemount 8707

• Wafer-Style Rosemount 8711

• Sanitary Rosemount 8721

There are two Rosemount magnetic flowmeter transmitters:

• Rosemount 8712

• Rosemount 8732

The sensor is installed in-line with process piping — either vertically or
horizontally. Coils located on opposite sides of the sensor create a magnetic
field. Electrodes located perpendicular to the coils make contact with the
process fluid. 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 electronical ly
conditions the voltage detected by the electrodes to provide a flow signal. T he
transmitter can be integrally or remotely mounted from the sensor.

This manual is designed to assist in the installation and ope ration of the
Rosemount 8732 Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitter and the Rosemount 8700
Series Magnetic Flowmeter Sensors.

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.

Emerson Process Management can supply lining protectors to prevent liner damage during
removal, installation, and excessive bolt torquing.

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, an d en vir onm en tal req uir eme nts

MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS

The mounting site for the 8732 transmitter should provide enough room for
secure mounting, easy access to conduit ports, full openin g of the transmitter
covers, and easy readability of the LOI screen (see Figure 2-1). The
transmitter should be mounted in a manner that prevent s moisture in conduit
from collecting in the transmitter.

Identify Options and Configurations

The standard application of the Rosemount 8732 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 Switches The 8732 electronics board is equipped with two user-selectable hardware

switches. These switches set the Transmitter Security and Simulate Mode.
The standard configuration for these switches when shipped from the factory
are as follows:

Transmitter Security: OFF
Simulate Mode OFF

Definitions of these switches and their functions are provided below. If you
determine that the settings must be changed, see below .

Transmitter Security

The security switch on the 8732 allows the user to lock out any configuration
changes attempted on the transmitter. No changes to the configuration are
allowed when the switch is in the ON position. The flow rate indication
function remains active at all times.

With the switch in the ON position, you may still access and review any of the
operating parameters and scroll through the available choices, but no actual
data changes are allowed. Transmitter security is set in the OFF position
when shipped from the factory.

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 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

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
below:

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.

1. Disconnect power to the transmitter.

2. Remove electronics cover.

3. Remove display if applicable.

4. Identify the location of each switch (see Figure 2-2).

5. Change the setting of the desired switche s with a sm all scr ewd r iver.

6. Replace the electronics cover.

Conduit Ports and Connections

Both the sensor and transmitter junction boxes have ports for 1/2-inch NPT
conduit connections, with optional CM20 and PG 13.5 connections available.
These connections should be made in accordance with national, local or plant
electrical codes. Unused ports should be sealed with metal plugs and PTFE
tape or other thread sealant. Connections should also be made in accordance
with area approval requirements, see examples below for details. Proper
electrical installation is necessary to prevent errors due to electrical noise and
interference. Separate conduit s are not necessary for the coil drive and signa l
cables connecting the transmitter to the sensor, but a dedicated conduit line
between each transmitter and sensor is required. A shielded cable must be
used.

Example 1: Installing flanged sensors into an IP68 area. Sensors must be
installed with IP68 cable glands and cable to maintain IP68 rating. Unused
conduit connections must be properly sealed to prevent water ingress. For
added protection, dielectric gel can be used to pot the sensor terminal block.

Example 2: Installing flowmeters into explosion proof/flameproof areas.
Conduit connections and conduit must be rated for use in the hazardous area
to maintain flowmeter approval rating.

Flanged and wafer sensors have two conduit ports as shown in Figur e 2-8.
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. Use
Teflon tape or thread sealant appropriate for the installation when sealing the
conduit.

A single dedicated conduit run for the coil drive and electrode cables is
needed between a sensor 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 2-8 for proper
conduit installation diagram and Table 2-2 for recommended cable. For
integral and remote wiring diagrams refer to Figure 2-10.

January 2010

Rosemount recommends using the combination signal and coil drive for N5,
E5 approved sensors for optimum performance.

Remote transmitter installations require equal lengths of signal and coil drive
cables. Integrally mounted transmitters are factory wired and do not require
interconnecting cables.

Lengths from 5 to 1,000 feet (1.5 to 300 meters) may be specified, and will be
shipped with the sensor.

Conduit Cables Run the appropriate size cable through the conduit connections in your

magnetic flowmeter system. Run the power cable from the power source to
the transmitter. Run the coil drive and electrode cables between the sensor
and transmitter .

Prepare the ends of the coil drive and electrode cables as shown in Figure
2-9. Limit the unshielded wire length to 1-inch on both the electrode and coil
drive cables.

NOTE

Excessive lead length or failure to connect cable shields ca n create electrical
noise resulting in unstable meter readings.

Review The 8732 includes a capability that enables you to review the configuration

Fast Keys 1, 5

variable settings.
The flowmeter configuration parameters set at the factory should be reviewed

to ensure accuracy and compatibility with your particular application of the
flowmeter.

NOTE

If you are using the LOI to review variables, each variable must be accessed
as if you were going to change its setting. The value displayed on the LOI
screen is the configured value of the variable.

PROCESS VARIABLES The process variables measure flow in several ways that reflect your needs

Fast Keys 1, 1

and the configuration of your flowmeter. When commissioning a flowmeter,
review each process variable, its function and output, and take co rrective
action if necessary before using the flowmete r in a proc es s application

Process Variable (PV) – The actual measured flow rate in the line. Use the
Process Variable Units function to select the units for yourapplication.

Percent of Range – The process variable as a percentage of the Analog
Output range, provides an indication where the current flow of the meter is
within the configured range of the flowmeter. For example, the Analog Output
range may be defined as 0 gal/min to 20 gal/min. If the measured flow is 10
gal/min, the percent of range is 50 percent.

3-5

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4663, Rev BA

Rosemount 8732

Analog Output – The analog output variable provides the analog value fo r the
flow rate. The analog output refers to the industry stand ard output in th e 4–20
mA range. The analog output and 4-20 mA loop can be verified using the
Analog Feedback diagnostic capability internal to the transmitter (See “8714i
Meter Verification” on page C-8).

Totalizer Setup – Provides a reading of the total flow of the flowmeter since the totalizer was last reset. The totalizer value should be zero during commissioning on the bench, and the units should reflect the volume units of the flow rate. If the totalizer value is not zero, it may need to be reset. This function also allows for configuration of the totalizer parameters.

Pulse Output – The pulse output variable provides the pulse value for the flow
rate.

January 2010

PV - Primary Variable The Primary Variable shows the current measured flow rate. This value

Fast Keys 1, 1, 1

determines the analog output from the transmitter.

PV -% Range The PV% Range shows where in the flow range the current flow value is as a

Fast Keys 1, 1, 2

percentage of the configured span.

PV - Analog Output The PV Analog Output displays the mA output of the transmitter

Fast Keys 1, 1, 3

corresponding to the measured flow rate.

Totalizer Setup The Totalizer Setup menu allows for the viewing and configuration of the

Fast Keys 1, 1, 4

totalizer parameters.

Totalizer Units

Fast Keys 1, 1, 4, 1

Totalizer units allow for the configuration of the units that the totalized value
will be displayed as. These units are independent of the flow units.

Measured Gross Total

Fast Keys 1, 1, 4, 2

Measured gross total provides the output reading of the tot alizer. This value is
the amount of process fluid that has passed through the flowmeter since the
totalizer was last reset.

NOTE

To reset the measured gross total value, the line size must be changed.

Measured Net Total

Fast Keys 1, 1, 4, 3

Measured net total provides the output reading of the totalizer. This value is
the amount of process fluid that has passed through the flowmeter since the
totalizer was last reset. When re verse flow is enabled, the net tot al represent s
the difference between the total flow in the forward dir ection less the tot al flow
in the reverse direction.

00809-0100-4663, Rev BA
January 2010

Rosemount 8732

Measured Reverse Total

Fast Keys 1, 1, 4, 4

Measured reverse total provides the output reading of th e tota lizer. This value
is the amount of process fluid that has passed through the flowmeter in the
reverse direction since the totalizer was last reset. This value is only totalized
when reverse flow is enabled.

Start Totalizer

Fast Keys 1, 1, 4, 5

Start totalizer starts the totalizer counting from its current value.

Stop Totalizer

Fast Keys 1, 1, 4, 6

Stop totalizer in terrupts the totalizer count until it is restarted again. This
feature is often used during pipe cleaning or other mainte na nce operations.

Reset Totalizer

Fast Keys 1, 1, 4, 7

Reset totalizer resets the net totalizer value to zero. The totalizer must be
stopped before resetting.

NOTE

The totalizer value is saved in the Non-Volatile memory of the electronics
every three seconds. Should power to the transmitter be interrupted, the
totalizer value will start at the last saved value when power is re-applied.

Pulse Output The Pulse Output displays the current value of the pulse signal.

Fast Keys 1, 1, 5

BASIC SETUP The basic configuration functions of the Rosemount 8732 must be set for all

Fast Keys 1, 3

applications of the transmitter in a magnetic flowmeter system. If your
application requires the advanced functionality features of the Rosemount
8732, see Section 4 "Operation" of this manual.

Special Units

Fast Keys 1, 3, 2, 2

The Rosemount 8732 provides a selection of standard u nit configurations that
meet the needs of most applications (see “Flow Units” on page 3-7). If your
application has special needs and the standard configurations do not apply,
the Rosemount 8732 provides the flexibility to configure the transmitter in a
custom-designed units format using the special units variable.

Special Volume Unit

Fast Keys 1, 3, 2, 2, 1

Special volume unit enables you to display the volume unit format to which
you have converted the base volume units. For example, if the special units
are abc/min, the special volume variable is abc. The volume units variable is
also used in totalizing the special units flow.

Rosemount 8732

Base Volume Unit

Fast Keys 1, 3, 2, 2, 2

Base volume unit is the unit from which the conversion is being made. Set this
variable to the appropriate option.

Conversion Number

Fast Keys 1, 3, 2, 2, 3

The special units conversion number is used to convert base units to special
units. For a straight conversion of volume units from one to another, the
conversion number is the number of base units in the new unit. For example,
if you are converting from gallons to barrels and there are 31 gallons in a
barrel, the conversion factor is 31.

Base Time Unit

Fast Keys 1, 3, 2, 2, 4

Base time unit provides the time unit from which to calculate the special units.
For example, if your special units is a volume per minute, select minutes.

Special Flow Rate Unit

Fast Keys 1, 3, 2, 2, 5

Special flow rate unit is a format variable that provides a record of the units to
which you are converting. The Handheld Communicator will display a special
units designator as the units format for your primary variable. The actual
special units setting you define will not appear. Four characters are available
to store the new units designation. The 8732 LOI will display the four
character designation as configured.

Example
To display flow in barrels per hour, and one barrel is equal to 31.0 gallons, the

procedure would be:
Set the Volume Unit to BARL.

Set the Base Volume Unit to gallons.
Set the Input Conversion Number to 31.
Set the Time Base to Hour.
Set the Rate Unit to BR/H.

Line Size The line size (flowtube sensor size) must be set to match the actual flowtube

Fast Keys 1, 3, 3

sensor connected to the transmitter. The size must be specified in inches
according to the available sizes listed below. If a value is entered from a
control system or Handheld Communicator that does not match one of these
figures, the value will go to the next highest option.

The line size (inches) options are as follows:

0.1, 0.15, 0.25, 0.30, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14,
16, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30, 32, 36, 40, 42, 44, 48, 54, 56, 60, 64, 72, 80

PV URV (Upper Range Value)

Fast Keys 1, 3, 4

PV LRV (Lower Range Value)

Fast Keys 1, 3, 5

The upper range value (URV), or analog output range, is preset to 30 ft/s at
the factory . The units that appear will be the same as those selected under the
units parameter.

The URV (20 mA point) can be set for both forward or reverse flow rate. Flow
in the forward direction is represented by positive values and flow in the
reverse direction is represented by negative values. The URV can be any
value from –39.3 ft/s to +39.3 ft/s (-12 m/ s to +12 m/s) , as long as it is at least
1 ft/s (0.3 m/s) from the lower range value (4 mA point). The URV can be set
to a value less than the lower range value. This will cause the transmitter
analog output to operate in reverse, with the current increasing for lower (or
more negative) flow rates.

NOTE

Line size, special units, and density must be selected prior to configuration of
URV and LRV.

Set the lower range value (LRV), or analog output zer o, to change the size of
the range (or span) between the UR V an d LR V. Under normal circumstances,
the LRV should be set to a value near the minimum expected flow rate to
maximize resolution. The LRV must be between
–39.3 ft/s to +39.3 ft/s (-12 m/s to +12 m/s).

NOTE

Line size, special units, and density must be selected prior to configuration of
URV and LRV.

Example

If the URV is greater than the LRV, the analog output will saturate at 3.9 mA
when the flow rate falls below the selected 4 mA point.

The minimum allowable span between the URV and LRV is 1 ft/s (0.3 m/s).
Do not set the LRV within 1 ft/s (0.3 m/s) of the 20 mA point. For example, if
the URV is set to 15.67 ft/s (4.8 m/s) and if the desired URV is greater than
the LRV, then the highest allowable analog zero setting would be 14.67 ft/s
(4.5 m/s). If the desired URV is less than the LRV, then the lowest allowable
LRV would be 16.67 ft/s (5.1 m/s).

Calibration Number The tube calibration number is a 16-digit number used to identify flowtube

Fast Keys 1, 3, 6

sensors calibrated at the Rosemount factory. The calibration number is also
printed inside the flowtube sensor terminal block or on the flowtube sensor
name plate. The number provides detailed calibration information to the
Rosemount 8732. To function properly within accuracy specifications, the
number stored in the transmitter must match the calibration number on the
flowtube sensor exactly.

NOTE

Flowtube Sensors from manufacturers other than Rosemount Inc. can also be
calibrated at the Rosemount factory. Check the tube for Rosemount
calibration tags to determine if a 16-digit tube calibration number exists for
your flowtube sensor.

NOTE

Be sure the calibration number reflects a calibration to a Rosemount
reference transmitter. If the calibration number was generated by a means
other than a certified Rosemount flow lab, accuracy of the system may be
compromised.

If your flowtube sensor is not a Rosemount flowtube sensor and was not
calibrated at the Rosemount factory, contact your Rosemount representative
for assistance.

If your flowtube sensor is imprinted with an eight-digit number or a k-factor,
check in the flowtube sensor wiring compartment for the sixteen-digit
calibration number. If there is no serial number, contact the factory for a
proper conversion.

PV Damping Adjustable between 0.0 and 256 seconds

Fast Keys 1, 3, 7

PV 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.

Electronics Trim

375 Transducer Block, Diagnostics, Trims

Electronics trim is the function by which the factory calibrates the transmitter.
This procedure is rarely needed by customers. It is only necessary if you
suspect the Rosemount 8732E is no longer accurate. A Rosemount 8714
Calibration Standard is required to complete a digital trim. Attempting an
Electronics trim without a Rosemount 8714 Calibration S t andard may result in
an inaccurate transmitter or an error message. Electronics trim must be
performed only with the coil drive mode set to 5 Hz and with a nominal sensor
calibration number stored in the memory.

NOTE

Attempting an Electronics trim without a Rosemount 8714 may result in an
inaccurate transmitter, or a “DIGITAL TRIM FAILURE” message may appear.
If this message occurs, no values were changed in the transmitter. Simply
power down the Rosemount 8732E to clear the message.

To simulate a nominal sensor with the Rosemount 8714, you must chang e the
following five parameters in the Rosemount 8732E:

1. Sensor Calibration Number—1000015010000000

2. Units—ft/s

3. PV URV—AI EU at 100 = 30.00 ft/s

4. PV LRV—AI EU at 0 = 0 ft/s

5. Coil Drive Frequency—5 Hz

The instructions for changing the Sensor Calibration Number, Units, PV URV,
and PV LRV are located in “Basic Setup” on pag e3-14. Instructions for
changing the Coil Drive Frequency can be found on page 4-12 in this section.

Set the loop to manual, if necessary , before you begin. Complete the following
steps:

1. Power down the transmitter.

2. Connect the transmitter to a Rosemount 8714 sensor simulator.

3. Power up the transmitter with the Rosemount 8714 connected and
read the flow rate. The electronics need about a 5-minute warm-up
time to stabilize.

4. Set the 8714 calibrator to the 30 ft/s setting.

5. The flow rate reading after warm-up should be between 29.97 and

30.03 ft/s.

6. If the reading is within the range, return the transmitter to the original
configuration parameters.

7. If the reading is not within this range, initiate a digital trim with the
Handheld Communicator. The digital trim takes about 90 seconds to
complete. No transmitter adjustments are required.

Auto Zero

375 Transducer Block, Diagnostics, Trims

The auto zero function initializes the transmitter for use with the 37 Hz coil
drive mode only. Run this function only with the transmitter and sensor
installed in the process. The sensor must be filled with process fluid at zero
flow. Before running the auto zero function, be sure the coil drive mode is set
to 37 Hz (Auto Zero will not run with the coil drive frequency set at 5 Hz).

Set the loop to manual if necessary and begin the auto zero procedure. The
transmitter completes the procedure automatically in about 90 seconds. A
symbol appears in the lower right-hand corner of the display to indicate that
the procedure is running.

Universal Trim

375 Transducer Block, Diagnostics, Trims

The universal auto trim function enables the Rosemount 8732E to calibrate
sensors that were not calibrated at the Rosemount factory. The function is
activated as one step in a procedure known as in-process calibration. If your
Rosemount sensor has a 16-digit calibration number , in -pro cess ca libr ation is
not required. If it does not, or if your sensor is made by another manufactu rer,
complete the following steps for in-process calibration.

1. Determine the flow rate of the process fluid in the sensor.

NOTE

The flow rate in the line can be determined by using another sensor in the
line, by counting the revolutions of a centrifug al pump , or by pe rfo rm in g a
bucket test to determine how fast a given volume is filled by the process fluid.

2. Complete the universal auto trim function.

3. When the routine is completed, the sensor is ready for use.

parameters within the 8732E transmitter.

Coil Drive Frequency

375 Transducer Block, Detailed Setup, Additional Params

Coil drive frequency allows pulse-rate selection of the sensor coils.

5 Hz

The standard coil drive frequency is 5 Hz, which is sufficient for nearly all
applications.

37 Hz

erratic outputs caused by process noise. The signal processing menu
contains this functionality.

Operating Mode

375 Transducer Block, Detailed Setup, Signal Processing

The Operating Mode should be used only when the signal is noisy and gives
an unstable output. Filter mode automatically uses 37 Hz coil drive mode an d
activates signal processing at the factory set default values. When using filter
mode, perform an auto zero with no flow and a full sensor. Either of the
parameters, coil drive mode or signal processing, may still be changed
individually. T urning Signal Processing off or changing the coil drive frequency
to 5 Hz will automatically change the Operating Mode from filter mode to
normal mode.

Man Config DSP

Control

375 Transducer Block, Detailed Setup, Signal Processing, Man Config DSP

When ON is selected, the Rosemount 8732E output is derived using a
running average of the individual flow inputs. Signal processing is a software
algorithm that examines the quality of the electrode signal against
user-specified tolerances. This average is updated at the rate of 10 samples
per second with a coil drive frequency of 5 Hz, and 75 samples per second
with a coil drive frequency of 37 Hz. The three parameters that make up
signal processing (number of samples, maximum percent limit, and time limit)
are described below.

Samples

375 Transducer Block, Detailed Setup, Signal Processing, Man Config DSP

0 to 125 Samples
The number of samples function sets the amount of time that inputs are

collected and used to calculate the average value. Each second is divided
into tenths (1/10) with the number of samples equaling the number of 1/10
second increments used to calculate the average.

For example, a value of:
1 averages the inputs over the past 1/10 second
10 averages the inputs over the past 1 second
100 averages the inputs over the past 10 second s
125 averages the inputs over the past 12.5 seconds

% Limit

375 Transducer Block, Detailed Setup, Signal Processing, Man Config DSP

0 to 100 Percent
The maximum percent limit is a tolerance band set up on either side of the

running average. The percentage value refers to deviation from the running
average. For example, if the running average is 100 gal/min, and a 2 percent
maximum limit is selected, then the acceptable range is from 98 to 102
gal/min.

V alues within the limit are accepted while values out side the limit are analyzed
to determine if they are a noise spike or an actual flow change.

Time Limit

375 Transducer Block, Detailed Setup, Signal Processing, Man Config DSP

0 to 256 Seconds
The time limit parameter forces the output and running average values to the

new value of an actual flow rate change that is outside the percent limit
boundaries. It thereby limits response time to flow changes to the time limit
value rather than the length of the running average.

4-14

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4663, Rev BA
January 2010

Rosemount 8732

For example, if the number of samples selected is 100, then the response
time of the system is 10 seconds. In some cases this may be unacceptable.
By setting the time limit, you can force the 8732E to clear the value of the
running average and re-establish the output and average at the new flow rate
once the time limit has elapsed. This parameter limits the response time
added to the loop. A suggested time limit value of two seconds is a good
starting point for most applicable process fluids. The selected signal
processing configuration may be turned ON or OFF to suit your needs.

Coil Drive Frequency

375 Transducer Block, Detailed Setup, Signal Processing

Coil drive frequency allows pulse-rate selection of the sensor coils.

5 Hz

The standard coil drive frequency is 5 Hz, which is sufficient for nearly all
applications.

37 Hz

If the process fluid causes a noisy or unstable output, increase the coil drive
frequency to 37 Hz. If the 37 Hz mode is selected, perform the auto zero
function with no flow and a full sensor.

Low Flow Cutoff

375 Transducer Block, Detailed Setup, Signal Processing

Low flow cutoff allows you to specify the flow rate, between 0.01 and 38.37
feet per second, below which the outputs are driven to zero flow. The units

SAFETY MESSAGES This symbol is used throughout this manual to indicate that special attention

to warning information is required.

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 hazardous area approval.

Do not connect a Rosemount 8732 to a non-Rosemount sensor that is located in an
explosive atmosphere.

Explosions could result in death or serious injury:
Installation of this transmitter in an explosive environment must be in accordance with the

appropriate local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices. Please review
the approvals section of the 8732 reference manual for any restrictions associated with a
safe installation.

Before connecting a Field Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the
instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive
field wiring practices.

Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury
Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can

cause electrical shock.

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.

Emerson Process Management can supply lining protectors to prevent liner damage during
removal, installation, and excessive bolt torquing.

SENSOR HANDLING 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.

Flanged 6- through 36-inch sensors come with a lifting lug on each flange.
The lifting lugs make the sensor easier to handle when it is transported and
lowered into place at the installation site.

Flanged ½- to 4-inch sensors do not have lugs. They must be supported with
a lifting sling on each side of the housing.

Figure 5-1 shows sensors correctly supported for handling and installation.
Notice the plywood end pieces are still in place to protect the sensor liner
during transportation.

SENSOR MOUNTING Physical mounting of a sensor is similar to installing a typical section of pipe.

Conventional tools, equipment, and accessories (bolts, gaskets, and
grounding hardware) are required.

Upstream/Downstream Piping

Figure 5-2. Upstream and
Downstream
Straight Pipe Diameters

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 5-2).

Sensor Orientation The sensor should be installed in a position that ensures the sensor remains

full during operation. Figures 5-3, 5-4, and 5-5 show the proper sensor
orientation for the most common installations. The following orientations
ensure that the electrodes are in the optimum plane to minimize the ef fects 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 5-3 and 5-4, avoid downward flows
where back pressure does not ensure that the se nsor remains full at all times.

Figure 5-3. Vertical Sensor
Orientation

Installations with reduced straight runs from 0 to five 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.

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 sensor thereby making it
more susceptible to insulation by air or entrapped gas at the top of the
sensor.

The electrodes in the Rosemount 8711 are properly oriented when the top of
the sensor is either vertical or horizontal, as shown in Figure 5-6. Avoid any
mounting orientation that positions the top of the sensor at 45 degrees from
the vertical or horizontal position.

Flow Direction The sensor should be mounted so that the FORWARD end of the flow arrow,

shown on the sensor identification tag, points in the direction of flow through
the sensor (see Figure 5-7).

INSTALLATION (FLANGED SENSOR)

The following section should be used as a guide in the installation of the
flange-type Rosemount 8705 and Rosemount 8707 High-Signal Sensors.
Refer to page 5-10 for installation of the wafer-type Rosemount 8711 Sensor.

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. If the gaskets will be removed frequently, protect the liner ends. All other
applications (including sensors with lining protectors or a grounding electrode)
require only one gasket on each end connection, as shown in Figure 5-8. If
grounding rings are used, gaskets are required on each side of the groundin g
ring, as shown in Figure 5-9.

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 a nd downstream
flanges when tightening bolts may result in liner damage.

Always check for leaks at the flanges after tightening the flange bolts. Failure
to use the correct flange bolt tightening methods can result in severe dam age.
All sensors require a second torquing 24 hours after initial flange bolt
tightening.

INSTALLATION (WAFER SENSOR)

The following section should be used as a guide in the installation of the
Rosemount 8711 Sensor. Refer to page 5-7 for installation of the flange-type
Rosemount 8705 and 8707 High-Signal sensor.

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. If the gaskets will be removed frequently, protect the
liner ends. If grounding rings are used, a gasket is required on each side of
the grounding ring.

Alignment and Bolting

1. On 11/2 - through 8-inch (40 through 200 mm) line sizes, place
centering rings over each end of the sensor. The smaller line sizes,

0.15- through 1-inch (4 through 25 mm), do not require centering
rings.

2. Insert studs for the bottom side of the sensor between the pipe
flanges. Stud specifications are listed in Table 5-4. Using carbon

steel bolts on smaller line sizes, 0.15- through 1-inch
(4 through 25 mm), rather than the required stainless steel bolts,
will degrade performance.

Process grounding the sensor is one of the most important details of sensor
installation. Proper process grounding ensures that th e transmitter amplifier is
referenced to the process. This creates the lowest noise environment for the
transmitter to make a stable reading. Use Table 5-6 to determine which
grounding option to follow for proper installation.

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4663, Rev BA
January 2010

NOTE

Consult factory for installations requiring cathodic protection or situations
where there are high currents or high potential in the process.

The sensor case should always be earth grounded in accordance with
national and local electrical codes. Failure to do so may impair the protection
provided by the equipment. The most effective grounding method is direct
connection from the sensor to earth ground with minimal impedance.

The Internal Ground Connection (Protective Ground Connection) located in
side the junction box is the Internal Ground Connection screw. This screw is
identified by the ground symbol:

PROCESS LEAK PROTECTION (OPTIONAL)

Standard Housing Configuration

The Rosemount 8705 and 8707 High-Signal Sensor housing is fabricated
from carbon steel to perform two separate functions. First, it provides
shielding for the sensor magnetics so that external disturbances cannot
interfere with the magnetic field and thus affect the flow measu re m en t.
Second, it provides the physical protection to the coils and other internal
components from contamination and physical d amage that might occur in an
industrial environment. The housing is completely welded and gasket-free.

The three housing configurations are identified by the W0, W1, or W3 in the
model number option code when ordering. Below are brief description s of
each housing configuration, which are followed by a more detailed overview.

• Code W0 — sealed, welded coil housing (standard configuration)

• Code W1 — sealed, welded coil housing with a relief valve capable of

venting fugitive emissions to a safe location (additional plumbing from
the sensor to a safe area, installed by the user, is required to vent
properly)

• Code W3 — sealed, welded coil housing with separate electrode

compartments capable of venting fugitive emissions (additional
plumbing from the sensor to a safe area, installed by the user, is
required to vent properly)

The standard housing configuration is identified by a code W0 in the model
number. This configuration does not provide separate electrode
compartments with external electrode access. In the even t of a pr oc es s leak,
these models will not protect the coils or other sensitive areas around the
sensor from exposure to the pressure fluid (Figure 5-17).

Relief Valves The first optional configuration, identified by the W1 in the model number

option code, uses a completely welded coil housing. This configuration does
not provide separate electrode compartments with external electrode access.
This optional housing configuration provides a relief valve in the housing to
prevent possible overpressuring caused by damage to the lining or other
situations that might allow process pressure to enter the housing. The relief
valve will vent when the pressure inside the sensor housing exceeds 5 psi.
Additional piping (provided by the user) may be connecte d to this relief valve
to drain any process leakage to safe containment (see Figure 5-18).

Configuration — Standard
Welded Housing With Relief
Valve (Option Code W1)

Process Leak Containment

The second optional configuration, identified as option code W3 in the model
number, divides the coil housing into three compartments: one for each
electrode and one for the coils. Should a damaged liner or electrode fault
allow process fluid to migrate behind the electrode seal s, the fluid is contained
in the electrode compartment. The sealed electrode compartment prevents
the process fluid from entering the coil compartm ent wh er e it w oul d da m age
the coils and other internal components.

The electrode compartments are designed to contain the process fluid at full
line pressure. An o-ring sealed cover provides access to each of the electrode
compartments from outside the se nsor; drain port s are provided in ea ch cover
for the removal of fluid.

NOTE

The electrode compartment could contain full line pressure and it must be
depressurized before the cover is removed.

This section covers basic transmitter and sensor troubleshooting. Problems in
the magnetic flowmeter system are usually indicated by incorrect output
readings from the system, error messages, or failed tests. Consider all
sources when identifying a problem in your system. If the problem persists,
consult your local Rosemount representative to determine if the material
should be returned to the factory. Emerson Process Management offers
several diagnostics that aid in the troubleshooting process.

Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to
ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Please read the
following safety messages before performing any operation described in this
section. Refer to these warnings when appropriate throughout this section.

Rosemount 8732

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 sensor and transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate FM or CSA approval.

Do not connect a Rosemount 8732 to a non-Rosemount sensor that is located in an
explosive atmosphere.

Mishandling products exposed to a hazardous substance may result in death or serious
injury. If the product being returned was exposed to a hazardous substance as defined by
OSHA, a copy of the required Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each hazardous
substance identified must be included with the returned goods.

The 8732 performs self diagnostics on the entire magnetic flowmeter system:
the transmitter, the sensor, and the interconnecting wiring. By sequentially
troubleshooting each individual piece of the magmeter system, it becomes
easier to pin point the problem and make the appropriate adjustments.

If there are problems with a new magmeter installation, se e “In stallation
Check and Guide” on page 6-2 for a quick guide to solve the most common
installation problems. For existing magmeter installations, Table 6-4 lists the
most common magmeter problems and corrective actions.

INSTALLATION CHECK AND GUIDE

Use this guide to check new installations of Rosemount magnetic flowmeter
systems that appear to malfunction.

Before You Begin
Transmitter

Apply power to your system before making the following transmitter checks.

1. Verify that the correct sensor calibration number is entered in the
transmitter. The calibration number is listed on the sensor nameplate.

2. Verify that the correct sensor line size is entered in the transmitter.
The line size value is listed on the sensor nameplate.

3. Verify that the function blocks are not in Out of Service mode.

4. Verify that the transmitter is functioning correctly by using the 8714i
Meter Verification diagnostic or the 8714D Calibration Reference
Standard.

Sensor

Be sure that power to your system is removed before beginning sensor
checks.

1. For horizontal flow installations, ensure that the electrodes remain
covered by process fluid.

For vertical or inclined installations, ensure that the process fluid
is flowing up into the sensor to keep the electrodes covered by
process fluid.

2. Ensure that the grounding straps on the sensor are connected to
grounding rings, lining protectors, or the adjacent pipe flanges.
Improper grounding will cause erratic operation of the system.

Wiring for Remote Configurations

1. The signal wire and coil drive wire must be twisted shielded cable.
Emerson Process Management, Rosemount division. recommends
20 AWG twisted shielded cable for the elec trodes and 14 AWG
twisted shielded cable for the coils.

2. The cable shield must be connected at both ends of the electrode and
coil drive cables. Connection of the signal wire shield at both ends is
necessary for proper operation. It is recommended that the coil drive
wire shield also be connected at both ends for maximum flowmeter
performance

3. The signal and coil drive wires must be separate cables, unless
Emerson Process Management specified combo cable is used. See
Table 2-2 on page 2-11.

4. The single conduit that houses both the signal and coil drive cables
should not contain any other wires.

Process Fluid

1. The process fluid conductivity should be 5 microsiemens
(5 micro mhos) per centimeter minimum.

2. The process fluid must be free of air and gasses.

3. The sensor should be full of process fluid.

QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING

Step 1: Wiring Errors The most common magmeter problem is wiring between the sensor and the

transmitter in remote mount installations. The signal wire and coil drive wire
must be twisted shielded cable: 20 AWG twisted shielded cable for the
electrodes and 14 AWG twisted shielded cable for the coils. Ensure that the
cable shield is connected at both ends of the electrode and coil drive cables.
Signal and coil drive wires must have their own cable s. The single conduit that
houses both the signal and coil drive cables should not contain any other
wires. For more information on proper wir ing practices, refe r to “T ran smitter to
Sensor Wiring” on page 2-11.

Step 2: Process Noise In some circumstances, process conditions rather than the magmeter can

cause the meter output to be unstable. Possible solutions for addressing a
noisy process situation are given below. When the output attains the desired
stability, no further steps are required.

Use the Auto Zero function to initialize the transmitter for use with the 37 .5 Hz
coil drive mode only. Run this function only with the transmitter and sensor
installed in the process. The sensor must be filled with process fluid with zero
flow rate. Before running the auto zero function, be sure the coil drive mode is
set to 37.5 Hz.

Step 3: Installed Sensor Tests

Set the loop to manual if necessary and begin the auto zero procedure. The
transmitter completes the procedure automatically in about 90 seconds. A
symbol appears in the lower right-hand corner of the display to indicate that
the procedure is running.

1. Change the coil drive to 37.5 Hz. Complete the Auto Zero function, if
possible (see “Coil Drive Frequency” on page 4-13).

2. Turn on Digital Signal Processing (see “Signal Processing” on
page 4-25)

3. Increase the damping (see “Damping” on page 3-17).

If the preceding steps fail to resolve the process noise symptoms, consult
your Rosemount sales representative about using a high-sig nal magnetic
flowmeter system.

If a problem with an installed sensor is identified, Table 6-5 can assist in
troubleshooting the sensor. Before performing any of the sensor tests,
disconnect or turn off power to the transmitter. To interpret the results, the
hazardous location certification for the sensor must be known. Applicable
codes for the Rosemount 8705 are N0, N5, and KD. Applicable codes for the
Rosemount 8707 are N0 and N5. Applicable codes for the Rosemount 8711
are N0, N5, E5, and KD. Always check the operation of test equipment before
each test.

If possible, take all readings from inside the sensor junction box. If the sensor
junction box is inaccessible, take measurements as close as possible.
Readings taken at the terminals of remote-mount transmitters that are more
than 100 feet away from the sensor may provide incorrect or inconclusive
information and should be avoided. A sensor circuit diagram is provided in
Figure 6-1 on page 6-9.
