Rosemount 8712D

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Rosemount

flowtube and transmitter, and measures volumetric flow rate by detecting the velocity of a conductive liquid that passes through a magnetic field.
There are four Rosemount magnetic flowmeter flowtubes:
Flanged Rosemount 8705
Flanged High-Signal Rosemount 8707
Wafer-Style Rosemount 8711
Sanitary Rosemount 8721
There are three Rosemount magnetic flowmeter transmitters:
Rosemount 8712
Rosemount 8732
Rosemount 8742
The flowtube is installed in-line with process piping — either vertically or horizontally. Coils located on opposite sides of the flowtube create a magnetic field. A conductive liquid moving through the magnetic field generates a voltage at the two electrodes that is proportional to the flow velocity.
The transmitter drives the coils to generate a magnetic field and electronically conditions the voltage detected by the electrodes. The transmitter then amplifies and conditions the electrode signal to provide a flow signal. The transmitter is mounted remotely from the flowtube.

PRE-INSTALLATION Before installing the Rosemount 8712D 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

Mechanical Considerations

The mounting site for the Rosemount 8712D transmitter should provide enough room for secure mounting, easy access to conduit ports, full opening of the transmitter covers, and easy readability of the LOI screen (see Figure 2-1). The transmitter should be mounted in a manner that prevents moisture in conduit from collecting in the transmitter.
The 8712D is mounted separately from the flowtube, it is not subject to limitations that might apply to the flowtube.

Identify Options and Configurations

The standard application of the 8712D includes a 4–20 mA output and control of the flowtube coils. Other applications may require one or more of the following configurations or options:
Multidrop Communications
PZR (Positive Zero Return)
Auxiliary Output
Pulse Output
Additional options may apply. Be sure to identify those options and configurations that apply to your situation, and keep a list of them nearby for consideration during the installation and configuration procedures.

Hardware Switches The 8712D electronics board is equipped with

three user-selectable hardware switches. These switches set the Failure Alarm Mode, Internal/External Analog Power, and Transmitter Security. The standard configuration for these switches when shipped from the factory are as follows:
Failure Alarm Mode: HIGH
Internal/External Analog Power: INTERNAL
Transmitter Security: OFF

Changing Hardware Switch Settings

In most cases, it is not necessary to change the setting of the hardware switches. If you need to change the switch settings, complete the steps outlined in the manual.
Definitions of these switches and their functions are provided below. If you determine that the settings must be changed, see below.

Failure Alarm Mode

If the 8712D experiences a catastrophic failure in the electronics, the current output can be driven high (23.25 mA) or low (3.75 mA). The switch is set in the HIGH (23.25 mA) position when it is shipped from the factory.

Internal/External Analog Power

The Rosemount 8712D 4–20 mA loop may be powered internally or by an external power supply. The internal/external power supply switch determines the source of the 4–20 mA loop power. Transmitters are shipped from the factory with the switch set in the INTERNAL position.
The external power option is required for multidrop configurations. A 10–30 V dc external supply is required and the 4-20mA power switch must be set to “EXT” position. For further information on 4–20 mA external power, see Connect 4–20 mA Loop External Power Source on page 2-9.

Transmitter Security

The security switch on the 8712D allows the user to lock out any configuration changes attempted on the transmitter. No changes to the configuration are allowed when the switch is in the ON position. The flow rate indication and totalizer functions remain active at all times.
2-4
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4661, Rev AB November 2006
Rosemount 8712D
With the switch in the ON position, you may still access and review any of the operating parameters and scroll through the available choices, but no actual data changes are allowed. Transmitter security is set in the OFF position when shipped from factory.

Changing Hardware Switch Settings

In most cases, it is not necessary to change the setting of the hardware switches. If you need to change the switch settings, complete the steps below:
NOTE
The hardware switches are located on the non-component side of the electronics board and changing their settings requires opening the electronics housing. If possible, carry out these procedures away from the plant environment in order to protect the electronics.
1. Disconnect power to the transmitter.
2. Loosen the housing door screw and open the housing door.
3. Identify the location of each switch (see Figure 2-2).
4. Change the setting of the desired switches with a small screwdriver.
5. Close the housing door and tighten the housing door screw.

Conduit Ports and Connections

8712/8712R01A.EPS
Both the flowtube and transmitter junction boxes have ports for ¾-inch NPT conduit connections. These connections should be made in accordance with local or plant electrical codes. Unused ports should be sealed with metal plugs. Proper electrical installation is necessary to prevent errors due to electrical noise and interference. Separate conduits are not necessary for the two cables, but a dedicated conduit line between each transmitter and flowtube is required. Shielded cable must be used for best results in electrically noisy environments.

Connect Digital Input 2 The Digital Input 2 can provide positive zero return (PZR) which allows the

transmitter output to be forced to a zero flow rate signal. While in this state, the transmitter will not react to input changes. A zero flow rate signal appears until the PZR signal is removed.
PZR is activated by supplying a 5-28 V dc signal to terminals 9 and 10.
To connect the PZR, complete the following steps.

1. Run the 5-28 V dc signal cable to the transmitter.

2. Connect the DC leads to Terminal 9 and 10.

Relay contact or control
This section covers the steps required to physically install the transmitter including wiring and calibration.

Rosemount Flowtubes To connect the transmitter to a non-Rosemount flowtube, refer to the

appropriate wiring diagram in Appendix D: Wiring Diagrams. The calibration procedure listed is not required for use with Rosemount flowtubes.

Transmitter to Flowtube Wiring

Flanged and wafer flowtubes have two conduit ports as shown in Figures 4-13, 4-14, 4-15, and 4-16. Either one may be used for both the coil drive and electrode cables. Use the stainless steel plug that is provided to seal the unused conduit port.
A single dedicated conduit run for the coil drive and electrode cables is needed between a flowtube and a remote transmitter. Bundled cables in a single conduit are likely to create interference and noise problems in your system. Use one set of cables per conduit run. See Figure 2-11 for proper conduit installation diagram and Table 2-3 for recommended cable. For integral and remote wiring diagrams refer to Figure 2-13.

INSTALLATION CHECK AND GUIDE

Use this guide to check new installations of Rosemount magnetic flowmeter systems that appear to malfunction.

Before You Begin

Transmitter

Apply power to your system before making the following transmitter checks.
1. Verify that the correct flowtube calibration number is entered in the transmitter. The calibration number is listed on the flowtube nameplate.
2. Verify that the correct flowtube line size is entered in the transmitter. The line size value is listed on the flowtube nameplate.
3. Verify that the analog range of the transmitter matches the analog range in the control system.
4. Verify that the forced analog output of the transmitter produces the correct output at the control system.

Flowtube

Be sure that power to your system is removed before beginning flowtube checks.
1. For horizontal flow installations, ensure that the electrodes remain covered by process fluid.
For vertical or inclined installations, ensure that the process fluid is flowing up into the flowtube to keep the electrodes covered by process fluid.
2. Ensure that the grounding straps on the flowtube are connected to grounding rings, lining protectors, or the adjacent pipe flanges. Improper grounding will cause erratic operation of the system.

Wiring

1. The signal wire and coil drive wire must be twisted shielded cable. Emerson Process Management, Rosemount division. 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 be separate cables, unless Emerson Process Management specified combo cable is used. See Table 2-3 on page 2-13.
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 microsiemens (5 micro mhos) per centimeter minimum.
2. The process fluid must be free of air and gasses.
3. The flowtube should be full of process fluid.
