This installation guide provides basic guidelines for the
Rosemount
configuration, diagnostics, maintenance, service and
troubleshooting installations. Refer to the 8712H reference manual
(document number 00809-0100-4729) for more instruction. The
manual and this QIG are also available electronically on
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 that
the operating environment of the flowtube and transmitter is
consistent with the appropriate FM or CSA approval.
Do not connect a Rosemount 8712H to a non-Rosemount flowtube
that is located in an explosive atmosphere.

Explosions could result in death or serious injury:
Installation of this transmitter in an explosive environment must be
in accordance with the appropriate local, national, and international
standards, codes, and practices. Please review the approvals
section of the 8712H reference manual for any restrictions
associated with a safe installation.
• Before connecting a HART-based communicator in an explosive
atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the loop are installed
in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring
practices.
In an Explosion-Proof/Flame-Proof installation, do not remove the
flowtube cover when power is applied to the unit.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury
• Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that
may be present on leads can cause electrical shock.
The flowtube liner is vulnerable to handling damage. Never place
anything through the flowtube for the purpose of lifting or gaining
leverage. Liner damage can render the flowtube useless.
To avoid possible damage to the flowtube liner ends, do not use
metallic or spiral-wound gaskets. If frequent removal is anticipated,
take precautions to protect the liner ends. Short spool pieces
attached to the flowtube ends are often used for protection.
Correct flange bolt tightening is crucial for proper flowtube operation
and life. All bolts must be tightened in the proper sequence to the
specified torque limits. Failure to observe these instructions could
result in severe damage to the flowtube lining and possible flowtube
replacement.

Rosemount 8712H
Before installing the Rosemount 8712H 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 8712H 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 1). The transmitter should be mounted in an
upright position.
If the 8712H is mounted separately from the flowtube, it
is not subject to limitations that might apply to the flowtube.

Environmental Considerations
To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid excessive heat and
vibration. Typical problem areas:
• high-vibration lines with integrally mounted transmitters
• warm-climate installations in direct sunlight
• outdoor installations in cold climates.
Remote-mounted transmitters may be installed in the control room to
protect the electronics from the harsh environment and provides easy
access for configuration or service.
Both remotely and integrally mounted Rosemount 8712H transmitters
require external power and there must be access to a suitable power
source.
Installation Procedures
Rosemount 8712H installation includes both detailed mechanical and
electrical installation procedures.
Mount the Transmitter
At a remote site the transmitter may be mounted on a pipe up to two
inches in diameter or against a flat surface.
Pipe Mounting
To mount the transmitter on a pipe:
1. Attach the mounting plate to the pipe using the mounting hardware.
2. Attach the 8712H to the mounting plate using the mounting screws.
Surface Mounting
To surface mount the transmitter:
1. Attach the 8712H to the mounting location using the mounting
screws.

Identify Options and Configurations
The standard application of the 8712H 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)
• Ultrasonic Control
• 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 Jumpers/Switches
The 8712H 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.
Electrical Considerations
Before making any electrical connections to the 8712H, consider the
following standards and be sure to have the proper power supply,
conduit, and other accessories.

Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible,
transport the system to the installation site in the original shipping
containers. Teflon

lined flowtubes are shipped with end covers that
protect it from both mechanical damage and normal unrestrained
distortion. Remove the end covers just before installation.

Upstream/Downstream Piping
To ensure specification accuracy over widely varying process
conditions, install the flowtube 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
Flow Direction
The flowtube should be mounted so that the FORWARD end of the
flow arrow, shown on the flowtube identification tag, points in the
direction of flow through the tube.
Flowtube Orientation
The flowtube should be installed in a position that ensures the
flowtube remains full during operation. Vertical installation allows
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. In these cases, orient the
electrode plane to within 45 degrees of horizontal.
