Introduction
8711 wafer sensorFigure 2-3:
8721 hygienic sensorFigure 2-4:
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 2-5.

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:
•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® 8712EM Transmitter with HART 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® 8712EM Transmitter with HART 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.

Prior to installation, identify the lining material of the flow sensor to ensure the suggested
torque values are applied.

Studs
Wafer sensors require threaded studs. See Figure 3-8 for torque sequence. Always check for
leaks at the flanges after tightening the flange bolts. All sensors require a second
tightening 24 hours after initial flange bolt tightening.
18Rosemount® 8712EM Transmitter with HART 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.
Alignment and bolting
Standard plant practices should be followed when installing a magmeter with sanitary
fittings. Unique torque values and bolting techniques are not required.

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 4-20mA 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
•HART multidrop configuration
Hardware switches
The transmitter may have up to four user-selectable hardware switches. These switches
set the alarm mode, internal/external analog power, internal/external pulse power, and
transmitter security. The standard configuration for these switches when shipped from the
factory is as follows:

4.4.1Conduit entries and connections
Transmitter conduit entries ports are ½"-14NPT as standard, M20 conduit connections will
use an adapter. 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.
4.4.2Conduit requirements
•For installations with an intrinsically safe electrode circuit, a separate conduit for the
coil cable and the electrode cable may be required. Refer to Appendix B.
•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 4-3.
•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 requirements
Shielded twisted pairs or triads must be used. For installations using the individual coil
drive and electrode cable, see Figure 4-4. 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 4-5. Combination cable lengths should be limited to less than
330 feet (100 m).
Prepare the ends of the coil drive and electrode cables as shown in Figure 4-6. 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.

Power terminals
For AC powered transmitter (90–250VAC, 50/60 Hz):
•Connect AC Neutral to Terminal N and AC Line to Terminal L1.
For DC powered transmitter:
•Connect negative to Terminal N and positive to Terminal L1.
•DC powered units may draw up to 1.2A.
Covers
Use the transmitter lower door screw to secure the terminal compartment after the
instrument has been wired and powered up. Follow these steps to ensure the housing is
properly sealed to meet ingress protection requirements:
1.Ensure all wiring is complete and close the lower door.
2.Tighten the lower door screw until the lower door is tight against the housing. Metal
to metal contact of the screw bosses is required to ensure a proper seal.
Note
Application of excessive torque may strip the threads or break the screw.
4.4.7
3.Verify the lower door is secure.
Analog output
The analog output signal is a 4-20mA current loop. Depending on the IS output option, the
loop can be powered internally or externally via a hardware switch located on the front of
the electronics stack. The switch is set to internal power when shipped from the factory.
Intrinsically safe analog output requires a shielded twisted pair cable. For HART
communication, a minimum resistance of 250 ohms is required. It is recommended to use
individually shielded twisted pair cable. The minimum conductor size is 24 AWG (0.51mm)
diameter for cable runs less than 5,000 feet (1,500m) and 20 AWG (0.81mm) diameter for
longer distances.

Topics covered in this chapter:
Basic Setup
•
Local operator interface (LOI)
•
Field Communicator interface
•
Measurement units
•
Once the magnetic flowmeter is installed and power has been supplied, the transmitter
must be configured through the basic setup. These parameters can be configured through
either an LOI or a HART communication device. Configuration settings are saved in
nonvolatile memory within the transmitter. Descriptions of more advanced functions are
included in Chapter 8.
Basic Configuration
5.1Basic Setup
Tag
Tag is the quickest and shortest way of identifying and distinguishing between
transmitters. Transmitters can be tagged according to the requirements of your
application. The tag may be up to eight characters long as standard, or 32 characters long
when ordered with HART 7.
Flow units (PV)
The flow units variable specifies the format in which the flow rate will be displayed. Units
should be selected to meet your particular metering needs. .
Line size
The line size (sensor size) must be set to match the actual sensor connected to the
transmitter. The size must be specified in inches.
Upper range value (URV)
The URV sets the 20 mA point for the analog output. This value is typically set to full-scale
flow. The units that appear will be the same as those selected under the flow units
parameter. The URV may be set between –39.3 ft/s to 39.3 ft/s (–12 m/s to 12m/s). There
must be at least 1 ft/s (0.3 m/s) span between the URV and LRV.
Lower range value (LRV)
The LRV sets the 4 mA point for the analog output. This value is typically set to zero flow.
The units that appear will be the same as those selected under the flow units parameter.
The LRV may be set between –39.3 ft/s to 39.3 ft/s (–12 m/s to 12m/s). There must be at
least 1 ft/s (0.3 m/s) span between the URV and LRV.
Reference manual47
Basic Configuration
Calibration number
The sensor calibration number is a 16-digit number generated at the factory during flow
calibration, is unique to each sensor, and is located on the sensor tag.
5.2Local operator interface (LOI)
To access the transmitter menu, press the XMTR MENU key. Use the UP, DOWN, LEFT(E),
and RIGHT arrows to navigate the menu structure.
The display can be locked to prevent unintentional configuration changes. The display lock
can be activated through a HART communication device, or by holding the UP arrow for
three seconds and then following the on-screen instructions.
When the display lock is activated, a lock symbol will appear in the lower right hand corner
of the display. To deactivate the display lock, hold the UP arrow for three seconds and
follow the on-screen instructions. Once deactivated, the lock symbol will no longer appear
in the lower right hand corner of the display.
5.3Field Communicator interface
Use the menu paths to configure basic setup of the transmitter using a field
communicator.

set the Alarm Mode, Internal/External Analog Power, Transmitter Security, and Internal/
External Pulse Power.
Definitions of these switches and their functions are provided below. To change the
settings, see below.
Advanced installation details
6.1.1Alarm mode
If an event occurs that would trigger an alarm in the electronics, the analog output will be
driven high or low, depending on the switch position. The switch is set in the HIGH position
when shipped from the factory. Refer to Table 8-1 and Table 8-2 for analog output values of
the alarm.
6.1.2
6.1.3
Transmitter 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.
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.
Internal/external analog power
The 4–20 mA loop can be powered internally by the transmitter or externally by an
external power supply. The ANALOG switch determines the source of the 4–20 mA loop
power.
Reference manual51
Advanced installation details
•When the switch is in the INTERNAL position, the 4–20 mA loop is powered
internally by the transmitter.
•When the switch is in the EXTERNAL position, a 10-30 VDC external power supply is
required. For more information about 4–20 mA external power, see Section 4.4.7.
The switch is in the INTERNAL position when the transmitter is shipped from the factory.
Note
External power is required for multidrop configurations.
6.1.4Internal/external pulse power
The pulse loop can be powered internally by the transmitter or externally or by an external
power supply. The PULSE switch determines the source of the pulse loop power.
•When the switch is in the INTERNAL position, the pulse loop is powered internally by
the transmitter.
•When the switch is in the EXTERNAL position, a 5–28 VDC external supply is
required. For more information about pulse external power, see Section 6.2.1.

6.3Coil housing configuration
The coil housing provides physical protection of the coils and other internal components
from contamination and physical damage that might occur in an industrial environment.
The coil housing is an all-welded and gasket-free design.
The 8705 model is available in four coil housing configurations. Configurations are
identified by the M0, M1, M2, or M4 options codes found in the model number. The 8711
and 8721 models are only available in one coil housing coil configuration; a separate
option code is not available.
6.3.1
Standard coil housing configuration
The standard coil housing configuration is a factory sealed all-welded enclosure and is
available for the following models (see Figure 6-12):

6.3.2Process leak protection (option M1)
The 8705 is available with process leak detection through the use of a threaded
connection and pressure relief valve (PRV). This coil housing configuration is a factory
sealed all-welded enclosure. The M1 configuration is available for the 8705 only.
•8705 with option code M1 - 8705xxxxxxxxM1
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 6-13).
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 6-16).
Insulating a Rosemount Magnetic Flowmeter for PermeationFigure 6-16:
A
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 6-17).
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.

8.2.1
This section contains information for advanced configuration parameters.
The software configuration settings for the transmitter can be accessed through a HART®based communicator, Local Operator Interface (LOI), AMS, or through a control system.
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
analog, pulse, auxiliary, and totalizer outputs of the transmitter.
Analog output
LOI menu pathDetailed Setup > Output Config > Analog
The analog output function is used to configure all of the features of the 4-20 mA output.
Upper range value
LOI menu path
Reference manual85
Detailed Setup > Output Config > Analog > PV URV
Advanced Configuration Functionality
The upper range value (URV) sets the 20 mA point for the analog output. This value is
typically set to full-scale flow. The units that appear will be the same as those selected
under the units parameter. The URV may be set between –39.3 ft/s to 39.3 ft/s (–12 m/s to
12 m/s) or the equivalent range based on the selected flow units. There must be at least 1
ft/s (0.3 m/s) span or equivalent between the URV and LRV.
Lower range value
LOI menu pathDetailed Setup > Output Config, > Analog > PV LRV
The lower range value (LRV) sets the 4 mA point for the analog output. This value is typically
set to zero flow. The units that appear will be the same as those selected under the units
parameter. The LRV may be set between –39.3 ft/s to 39.3 ft/s (–12 m/s to 12 m/s) or the
equivalent range based on the selected flow units. There must be at least 1 ft/s (0.3 m/s)
span or equivalent between the URV and LRV.
Alarm type

AO diagnostic alarm
LOI menu pathDetailed Setup > Output Config > Analog > AO Diag Alarm
There are diagnostics that, when under active conditions, do not drive the analog output
to alarm level. The AO diagnostic alarm menu enables selection of these diagnostics to be
associated with an analog alarm. If any of the selected diagnostics are active, it will cause

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
diagnostic detects a failure of one of the tests
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).
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:

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
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
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.

Advanced Configuration Functionality
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 10,000Hz at 10,000 gpm.

Pulse mode
LOI menu pathDetailed Setup > Output Config > Pulse > Pulse Mode
The pulse mode configures the frequency output of the pulse. It can be set to either 50%
duty cycle, or fixed. There are two options that pulse mode can be configured to:
•Pulse Output (user defines a fixed pulse width)
•Frequency Output (pulse width automatically set to 50% duty cycle)
To use pulse width settings, pulse mode must be set to pulse output.
8.2.3Totalizer
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.
