2.1System description
The 8700M Magnetic Flowmeter Platform consists of a sensor and a transmitter. The
sensor is installed in-line with the process piping; the transmitter can be integrally
mounted or remotely mounted to the sensor.

8711 wafer sensorFigure 2-4:
8721 hygienic sensorFigure 2-5:
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 2-6.

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
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.
3.2.3
Upstream and downstream straight pipe diametersFigure 3-1:
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 absolute 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.
10Rosemount® 8732EM Transmitter with Modbus Protocol Reference Manual
Flow direction arrowFigure 3-2:
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.

3.2.5Electrode 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 the Electrode
Orientation figure.
Electrode orientationFigure 3-4:

Sensor Installation
3.3.1Flanged sensors
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.
12Rosemount® 8732EM Transmitter with Modbus Protocol Reference Manual
Sensor Installation
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.
Gasket placement for flanged sensorsFigure 3-5:
A.Grounding ring and gasket (optional)
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.
Reference manual13
Sensor Installation
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.

leaks at the flanges after tightening the flange bolts. All sensors require a second
tightening 24 hours after initial flange bolt tightening.
18Rosemount® 8732EM Transmitter with Modbus Protocol Reference Manual
1.Insert studs for the the bottom side of the sensor between the pipe flanges and
center the alignment spacer in the middle of the stud. See Figure 3-7 for the bolt
hole locations recommended for the spacers provided. Stud specifications are listed
in Table 3-6.
2.Place the sensor between the flanges. Make sure the alignment spacers are properly
centered on the studs. For vertical flow installations slide the o-ring over the stud to
keep the spacer in place. See Figure 3-7. Ensure the spacers match the flange size
and class rating for the process flanges. See Table 3-5.
3.Insert the remaining studs, washers, and nuts.
4.Tighten to the torque specifications shown in Table 3-7. Do not over-tighten the
bolts or the liner may be damaged.
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.
Note
Gaskets are supplied between the IDF fitting and the process connection fitting, such as a Tri-Clamp
fitting, on all Rosemount 8721 Sanitary sensors except when the process connection fittings are not
supplied and the only connection type is an IDF fitting.

Sensor Installation
4.1Pre-installation
Before installing the transmitter, there are several pre-installation steps that should be
completed to make the installation process easier:
•Identify options and configurations that apply to your application
•Set the hardware switches if necessary
•Consider mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements
Note
Refer to Appendix A for more detailed requirements.
Identify options and configurations
The typical transmitter installation includes a device power connection, a Modbus RS-485
output connection, and sensor coil and electrode connections. Other applications may
require one or more of the following configurations or options:
•Pulse output
•Discrete input/discrete output
Hardware switches
The transmitter has two user-selectable hardware switches. These switches set the
internal/external pulse power and transmitter security. The standard configuration for
these switches when shipped from the factory is as follows:
Reference manual25
Remote Transmitter Installation
SettingFactory configuration
Internal/external pulse powerExternal
Transmitter securityOff
The internal/external pulse power switch is not available when ordered with intrinsically
safe output, ordering code B.
In most cases, it is not necessary to change the setting of the hardware switches. If the
switch settings need to be changed, refer to Section 6.1.
Be sure to identify any additional options and configurations that apply to the installation.
Keep a list of these options for consideration during the installation and configuration
procedures.
Mechanical considerations
The mounting site for the transmitter should provide enough room for secure mounting,
easy access to conduit entries, full opening of the transmitter covers, and easy readability
of the Local Operator Interface (LOI) screen (if equipped).

Shielded twisted pairs or triads must be used. For installations using the individual coil
drive and electrode cable, see Figure 4-5. Cable lengths should be limited to less than 500
feet (152 m). Consult factory for length between 500–1000 feet (152–304 m). Equal
length cable is required for each. For installations using the combination coil drive/
electrode cable, see Figure 4-6. Combination cable lengths should be limited to less than
330 feet (100 m).
32Rosemount® 8732EM Transmitter with Modbus Protocol Reference Manual
Prepare the ends of the coil drive and electrode cables as shown in Figure 4-7. 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.

A PRV can be installed in the threaded connection to prevent possible over-pressuring of
the coil housing caused by a primary seal failure. The PRV is capable of venting fugitive
emissions when pressure inside the coil housing exceeds five psi. Additional piping may be
connected to the PRV to drain any process leakage to a safe location (see Figure 6-11).
In the event of a primary seal failure, this configuration will not protect the coils or other
internal components of the sensor from exposure to the process fluid.
Note
The PRV is supplied with the meter to be installed by the customer. Installation of the PRV and any
associated piping must be performed in accordance with environmental and hazardous area
requirements.

6.3.5Higher 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.
Procedure
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).
Insulating a Rosemount Magnetic Flowmeter for PermeationFigure 6-14:

B
C
A. Process piping
B. Coil housing
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.

8.1Introduction
This section contains information for advanced configuration parameters.
Advanced Configuration Functionality
8.2
8.2.1
The software configuration settings for the transmitter can be accessed through the Local
Operator Interface (LOI) or a modbus host. Before operating the transmitter in an actual
installation, you should review all of the factory set configuration data to ensure that they
reflect the current application.
Configure outputs
LOI menu pathDetailed Setup > Output Config
The configure outputs functionality is used to configure advanced features that control the
Modbus, pulse, auxiliary, and totalizer outputs of the transmitter.
Modbus output
Configure the Modbus communication parameters.
Address
LOI menu path
Modbus register109
Detailed Setup > Output Config > Modbus > Address
Configure the address of the transmitter for the Modbus network. The acceptable range is
an integer value from 1 to 247. The default address is 1.
Reference manual77
Advanced Configuration Functionality
Each register is identified by its address (or starting address). Depending on the PLC that
will be used to communicate with the transmitter, you may need to subtract 1 from the
address, or starting address, of the register. Refer to PLC documentation to determine if
this applies.
Floating point byte order
LOI menu pathDetailed Setup > Output Config > Modbus > Flt Pt Order
Modbus register110
Sets the order that information is sent by the transmitter.
Minimum response delay is used to synchronize Modbus communications with hosts that
operate at a slower speed than the transmitter. The value specified here will be the
minimum elapsed time before the transmitter sends a response to the host. This value can
be configured as an integer from 0 to 250 ms. The default value is 10 ms.
Note
Do not set the minimum response delay unless required by the Modbus host.
Variable slots allows for the customization of variables into fixed Modbus register locations.
Up to 30 slots can be configured using ProLink III or a Modbus configuration tool. Through
the LOI, configuration functionality is limited to 10 slots.
Slot indices
LOI menu pathDetailed Setup > Output Config > Modbus > Slot Indices
Modbus register651–680
Assign variables to the various Modbus slots for easy reference. Slots 0 through 9 can be
configured through the LOI, ProLink III, or a Modbus configuration tool. Slots 10 through
29 can only be configured through ProLink III or a Modbus configuration tool.

8.2.2Pulse output
LOI menu pathDetailed Setup > Output Config > Pulse
Under this function the pulse output of the transmitter can be configured.
Pulse scaling
LOI menu pathDetailed Setup > Output Config > Pulse > Pulse Scaling
Modbus register327–328
Transmitter may be commanded to supply a specified frequency between 1 pulse/ day at
39.37 ft/sec (12 m/s) to 10,000Hz at 1 ft/sec (0.3 m/s).
Advanced Configuration Functionality
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.
Note
The pulse output scaling is designed to operate between 0 and 10,000Hz. The minimum conversion
factor value is found by dividing the minimum span (in units of volume per second) by 10,000Hz.
Note
The maximum pulse scaling frequency for transmitters with an intrinsically safe output (output
option code B) is 5000Hz.
When selecting pulse output scaling, the maximum pulse rate is 10,000Hz. With the 110
percent over range capability, the absolute limit is 11,000Hz. For example, if you want the
transmitter to pulse every time 0.01 gallons pass through the sensor, and the flow rate is
10,000 gal/min, you will exceed the 10,000Hz full-scale limit:
10,000 gal

Reference manual81
Advanced Configuration Functionality
The best choice for this parameter depends upon the required resolution, the number of
digits in the totalizer, the extent of range required, and the maximum frequency limit of
the external counter.
Pulse factor units
Modbus register37
The pulse factor unit assigns the unit of measure to the pulse scaling factor. The default
read-only value is the unit of measure from the configured flow units. For example, if
gal/min is selected when configuring the flow units, the pulse factor unit will be gallons.

Pulse width
LOI menu pathDetailed Setup > Output Config > Pulse > Pulse Width
Modbus register329, 330
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 8-1). 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.

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 10,000Hz at 10,000 gpm.

Totalizer
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.

8.2.4Discrete input/output
This configuration option is only available if the auxiliary output suite (option code AX) was
ordered. The auxiliary output suite provides two channels for control.
•The discrete input can provide positive zero return (PZR) and net totalizer reset.
•The discrete output control function can be configured to drive an external signal to
indicate zero flow, reverse flow, empty pipe, diagnostic status, flow limit, or
transmitter status.
A complete list and description of the available auxiliary functions is provided below.

Flow limit (1 and 2)
There are two configurable flow limits. Configure the parameters that will determine the
criteria for activation of a diagnostic alert if the measured flow rate falls within a set of
configured criteria. This functionality can be used for operating simple batching
operations or generating alerts when certain flow conditions are met. This parameter can
be configured as a discrete output if the transmitter was ordered with the auxiliary output
suite (option code AX) and the outputs are enabled. If a discrete output is configured for
flow limit, the discrete output will activate when the conditions defined under mode
configuration are met. See Mode below.
Control
LOI menu pathFlow 1: Detailed Setup > Output Config > DI/DO Config > Flow
This parameter turns the flow limit diagnostic alert ON or OFF.
ON
The transmitter will generate a diagnostic alert when the defined conditions are
met. If a discrete output is configured for flow limit, the discrete output will
activate when the conditions for mode are met.
OFF
The transmitter will not generate an alert for the flow limit.
The mode parameter sets the conditions under which the flow limit diagnostic alert will
activate. High and low limits exist for each channel and can be configured independently.
