This document provides basic installation guidelines for the Rosemount 8750W Magnetic Flowmeter
Platform. For comprehensive instructions for detailed configuration, diagnostics, maintenance, service,
installation, or troubleshooting refer to the Rosemount 8750W Reference Manual (document number
00809-0300-4750). The manual and Quick Start Guide are also available electronically on
Emerso nProcess.co m/Rosemount
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.
Ensure the device certification and installation techniques are suitable for the ins tallation 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 8750W Transmitter to a non-Rosemount sensor that is located in an explosive
atmosphere.
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
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 Transmitter includes both
detailed mechanical and electrical installation procedures.
Before installing the Rosemount 8750W, 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 Rosemount 8750W includes a device power
connection, a 4
connections. Other applications may require one or more of the following
configurations or options:
The Rosemount 8750W electronics stack is equipped with user-selectable
hardware switches. These switches set the Alarm mode, Internal/external analog
power, Internal/external pulse power
configuration for these switches when shipped from the factory are as follows:

In most cases, it will not be necessary to change the setting of the hardware
switches. If the switch settings need to be changed, follow the steps outlined in
the “Changing hardware switch settings” section of the Rosemount 8750W
Reference Manual.
NOTICE
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.

Quick Start Guide
1.2 Mechanical considerations
The mounting site for the Rosemount 8750W 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 field mount transmitter installations, a mounting bracket is provided
for use on a 2-in. pipe or a flat surface (see Figure 1).
NOTICE
If the transmitter 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° increments by
removing the four mounting screws on the bottom of the housing. Do not rotate
the housing more than 180° 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.

1.3 Electrical considerations
Before making any electrical connections to the Rosemount 8750W, 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 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:
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.

Quick Start Guide
2.0 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 should include 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.
Flanged sensors 3-in. through 48-in. come with lifting lugs.
Wafer sensors do not come with lifting lugs.

3.0 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 6).
Figure 6. Upstream and Downstream Straight Pipe Diameters
A. Five pipe diameters
B. Two 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.
3.2 Flow direction
The sensor should be mounted so the arrow points in the direction of flow.
See Figure 7.
Figure 7. 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.

Quick Start Guide
Figure 8. Sensor Orientation
3.4 Electrode 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° from the horizontal,
as shown on the left of Figure 9. Avoid any mounting orientation that positions
the top of the sensor at 90° from the vertical position as shown on the right of
Figure 9.

4.0 Sensor installation
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 are required on
each side of a grounding ring (see Figure 10). All other applications (including
sensors or a grounding electrode) require only one gasket on each process
connection.
NOTICE
Metallic or spiral-wound gaskets should not be used as they will damage the liner face of the sensor.

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, Table 5 for EN flanges, and Table 6 and Table 7 for AWWA
and EN flanges for line sizes 30-in. (750 mm) to 48-in. (1300 mm). Consult your
local Emerson
sensor is not listed. Tighten flange bolts on the upstream side of the sensor in the
incremental sequence shown in Figure 11 to 20 percent of the suggested torque
values. Repeat the process on the downstream side of the sensor. For sensors
with more or less 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 the user 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.
