This document provides basic installation guidelines for the Rosemount 8700M Magnetic
Flowmeter Platform with Modbus RS-485 Protocol. For information about installing,
configuring, maintaining, or troubleshooting this product, refer to Reference Manual
00809-0400-4444. The reference manual—as well as this quick start guide—are available online
at www.rosemount.com.
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 the installation is done safely and is consistent with the operating environment.
If installed in explosive atmospheres (hazardous areas, classified areas, or an “Ex” environment),
it must be assured that the device certification and installation techniques are suitable for that
particular environment.
Explosion hazard—Do not disconnect equipment when a flammable or combustible atmosphere
is present.
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, disconnect power before
servicing circuits.
Do not connect a Rosemount 8732EM Transmitter to a non-Rosemount sensor that is located in
an explosive atmosphere.
Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
Follow national, local, and plant standards to properly earth ground the transmitter and sensor.
The earth ground must be separate from the process reference ground.
Rosemount Magnetic Flowmeters ordered with non-standard paint options or non-metallic
labels may be subject to electrostatic discharge. To avoid electrostatic charge build-up, do not
rub the flowmeter with a dry cloth or clean with solvents.
NOTICE
The sensor liner is vulnerable to handling damage. Never place anything through the sensor for
the purpose of lifting or gaining leverage. Liner damage may render the sensor inoperable.
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. 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 specifications. Failure to observe
these instructions could result in severe damage to the sensor lining and possible sensor
replacement.
In cases where high voltage/high current are present near the meter installation, ensure proper
protection methods are followed to prevent stray voltage/current from passing through the
meter. Failure to adequately protect the meter could result in damage to the transmitter and
lead to meter failure.
Completely remove all electrical connections from both sensor and transmitter prior to welding
on the pipe. For maximum protection of the sensor, consider removing it from the pipeline.
Installation of the Rosemount Magnetic Flowmeter includes both detailed
mechanical and electrical installation procedures.
Before installing the Rosemount 8732EM Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitter, there
are several pre-installation steps that should be completed to make the
installation process easier:
Identify the options and configurations that apply to your application
Set the hardware switches if necessary
Consider mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements
1.1 Identify options and configurations
The typical installation of the 8732EM 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 8732EM electronics stack is equipped with user-selectable hardware
switches. These switches set the Internal/External Pulse Power and Transmitter
Security. The factory default settings for these switches is as follows:
Table 1. Hardware Switch Default Settings
Hardware switchDefault setting
Internal/External Pulse Power
Transmitter Security
External
Off
In most cases, it will not be necessary to change the hardware switch settings. If
the settings need to be changed, follow the steps outlined under “Changing
hardware switch settings” in Reference Manual 00809-0400-4444.
Note
To prevent switch damage, use a non-metallic tool to move switch positions.
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.
1.2 Mechanical considerations
The mounting site for the Rosemount 8732EM transmitter should provide
enough room for secure mounting, easy access to conduit entries, full opening of
the transmitter covers, and easy readability of the LOI screen, if equipped.
For remote mount transmitter (8732EMR

Note
If the Rosemount 8732EM is mounted separately from the sensor, it may not be subject to
limitations that might apply to the sensor.
Rotate integral mount transmitter housing
The transmitter housing can be rotated on the sensor in 90-degree increments by
removing the four mounting screws on the bottom of the housing. Do not rotate
the housing more than 180 degrees in any one direction. Prior to tightening, be
sure the mating surfaces are clean, the O-ring is seated in the groove, and there is
no gap between the housing and the sensor.
Figure 1. Rosemount 8732EM Dimensional Drawing
August 2015
Note
Conduit entries are 1/2- in. NPT or M20 connections. If an alternate thread connection is
required, thread adapters must be used.
1.3 Electrical considerations
Before making any electrical connections to the Rosemount 8732EM, 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.
Both remotely and integrally mounted Rosemount 8732EM transmitters require
external power, so there must be access to a suitable power source.

1.4 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/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.
Step 2: Handling and lifting
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 connections until you are ready to
connect and seal them.
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.
Additional safety recommendations for mechanical handling:
- Use proper PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) including safety glasses
and steel toed shoes.
- Do not drop the device from any height.

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.
If provided, use the lifting lugs on each flange to handle the Magnetic
Flowmeter when it is transported and lowered into place at the installation
site. If lifting lugs are not provided, the Magnetic Flowmeter must be
supported with a lifting sling on each side of the housing.
- Standard Pressure 3-in. through 36-in. Flanged Magnetic Flowmeters
come with lifting lugs.
- High Pressure (above 600#) 1-in. through 24-in. Flanged Magnetic
Flowmeters come with lifting lugs.
- Wafers and Sanitary Magnetic Flowmeters do not come with lifting lugs.

Step 3: Mounting
3.1 Upstream/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 (see Figure 3).

Figure 3. Upstream and Downstream Straight Pipe Diameters
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.
Quick Start Guide
3.2 Flow direction
The sensor should be mounted so that the arrow points in the direction of flow.
See Figure 4.
Figure 4. Flow Direction Arrow
3.3 Sensor location
The sensor should be installed in a location that ensures it remains full during
operation. 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.

Step 4: Sensor installation
Flanged sensors
4.1 Gaskets
The sensor requires a gasket at each process connection. The gasket material must be
compatible with the process fluid and operating conditions. G askets a re required on
each side of a grounding ring (see Figure 7). 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.

Quick Start Guide
4.2 Flange 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 4 for
ASME B16.5 flanges and Table 5 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 8 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.

4.3 Gaskets
The sensor requires a gasket at each process connection. The g asket material
selected must be compatible with the process fluid and operating conditions.
Gaskets are required on each side of a grounding ring. See Figure 9 below.
Note
Metallic or spiral-wound gaskets should not be used as they will damage the liner
face of the sensor.
Figure 9. Wafer Gasket Placement
4.4 Alignment
1. On 1.5-in. through 8-in. (40 through 200 mm) line sizes, Rosemount requires
installing the alignment spacers to ensure proper centering of the wafer sensor
between the process flanges.
2. Insert studs for the bottom side of the sensor between the pipe flanges and
center the alignment spacer in the middle of the stud. See Figure 9 for the bolt
hole locations recommended for the spacers provided. Stud specifications are
listed in Tab le 6.
3. 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 9. Ensure the spacers
match the flange size and class rating for the process flanges. See Tab le 7 .
4. Insert the remaining studs, washers, and nuts.
5. Tighten to the torque specifications shown in Table 8. Do not over-tighten the
bolts or the liner may be damaged.
