Model 8712C/U /H Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitters
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A Rosemount Series 8700 Magnetic Flowmeter System measures
volumetric flow rate by detecting the velocity of a conductive liquid that
passes through a magnetic field. The system consists of two major
assemblies: the Model 8705, the Model 8707 High-Signal, or
Model 8711 Magnetic Flowmeter Flowtube combined with a magnetic
flowmeter transmitter.
The flowtube is installed in-line with process piping, either vertically or
horizontally. Coils located on opposite sides of the flowtube create the
necessary magnetic field. A conductive liquid moving through the
magnetic field generates a voltage that is detected by two electrodes.
The transmitter drives the coils to generate the magnetic field and
electronically conditions the voltage detected by the electrodes. The
transmitter than produces analog and frequency output signals
proportional to the liquid velocity.

Conduit Installation
Both the flowtube and transmitter junction boxes have ports for
¾–inch NPT conduit connections. If some of these ports are not being
used, conduit seals will need to be installed. In some cases, conduits
may also require drainage if there is a possibility of moisture build-up
in the line.
A dedicated conduit line is required for the coil drive and electrode
cables that connect the flowtube to the transmitter (see Figure 2-4 on
page 2-7). Separate conduits are not necessary for the two cables, but a
dedicated conduit line between each transmitter and flowtube is
required. Instructions for installation of the conduit begin on page 2-6.
If ¾-inch NPT conduit is not installed between the flowtube and
transmitter, install the conduit.
NOTE
A dedicated conduit line is required between each transmitter and
flowtube. See page 2-7 for further information on conduit layout
and design.
1. Install the conduit for operating options used in your application.
2. Connect the ¾-inch NPT conduit to the transmitter and to the
flowtube in accordance with local or plant electrical codes.
3. Seal unused ports to prevent moisture or other contamination
from entering the junction box.
NOTE
Do not overtighten metal plugs used to seal wiring compartment ports;
overtightening can damage the housing.
Conduit Cabl esRun the appropriate size cable through the conduit connections in your
magnetic flowmeter system.
1. Run the power cable from the power source to the transmitter.
2. Run the coil drive and electrode cables between the flowmeter
and transmitter.
3. Run any additional cables required for your application and the

1. The signal wire and coil drive wire must be twisted shielded
cable. Rosemount Inc. recommends 20 AWG twisted shielded
cable for the electrodes 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 shield at both ends is
absolutely necessary for proper operation.
3. The signal and coil drive wires must have their own cables.
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 microhms per
centimeter minimum.
2. The process fluid must be free of air and gasses.
3. The flowtube should be full of process fluid.

communications center for the Model 8712C/U/H. By using the LOI, the
operator can access any transmitter function for changing configuration
parameter settings, checking totalized values, or other functions. The
LOI is integral to the transmitter housing.
The basic features of the LOI include display control, totalizer, data
entry, and transmitter parameters. These features provide control of all
transmitter functions.
Display Control Keys
The display control keys provide control over the variable displayed on
the LOI screen. Push FLOW RATE to display the process variable, or
push T OTALIZE to display the totalized value.
Totalizer Keys
The totalizer keys enable you to start, stop, read, and reset
the totalizer.
Data Entry K eys
The data entry keys enable you to move the display cursor,
incrementally increase the value, or enter the selected value.
Transmitter Parameter Keys
The transmitter parameter keys provide direct access to the most
common transmitter parameters and stepped access to the advanced
functions of the Model 8712C/U/H through the AUX. FUNCTION key.
