• Failure to follow instructions in this guide could result in serious injury or
death.
• Instructions in this guide are for use by qualified personnel only. Do not
perform any servicing other than that contained in this guide, unless
qualified.
• The Calibration Standard cannot be used in a hazardous location nor can
it be connected to transmitters that are operating in a hazardous
location. A safe work permit shall be issued prior to connecting the
Calibration Standard to an installed transmitter in a hazardous location.
The safe work permit shall ensure that the user has taken the necessary
steps to declassify the area as defined by the authority having
jurisdiction for the installed transmitter.
• The Calibration Standard uses components that can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge (ESD). When handling, care must be taken so that
the device is not damaged. The following precaution should be taken:
Always discharge yourself by touching a grounded bare metal surface
before handling any ESD-sensitive electronic device.
• The user shall ensure that the Calibration Standard is properly grounded
by connecting the black coil drive wire to coil shield terminal number 3
on the transmitter.

WARNING
To prevent risk of electrical shock: The user shall ensure that the Calibration
Standard is properly grounded by connecting the correct wire to coil shield
terminal number 3 on the transmitter.
Table 3-1: Calibration Standard wiring to transmitter terminals
1. Insert the gray cable end into the gray receptacle marked
"ELECTRODE SIGNAL" and the blue cable end into the blue receptacle
marked "COIL DRIVE" on the calibration standard.
2. Twist the connectors clockwise to lock them into place.
When the connector is fully locked into place, the lock symbol is
visible on the calibration standard face plate.
3. Make the cable connections to the transmitter as indicated in Table
3-1.

4Digital trim
LOI menu pathDiagnostics→Trims→Digital Trim
Digital trim is calibration of the transmitter. It is first performed at the
factory with transmitters before they are shipped. It is only necessary for a
customer to perform the digital trim when inaccurate measurement is
observed or suspected.
Complete these steps to identify if a digital trim is needed, and then perform
and verify it, when necessary.
NOTICE
To avoid electrical damage to equipment, use the 8785 Calibration Standard
only with the Rosemount 8782 transmitter.
1. Set the loop to manual (if necessary).
2. Record the current transmitter configuration settings for Calibration
Number, Units, PV URV, PV LRV, and Coil Drive Frequency.
3. Change the following transmitter configuration settings:
• Calibration Number: 1000075010000000
• Units-ft/s
• PV URV-20mA = 30.00 ft/s
• PV LRV-4mA = 0 ft/s
• Coil Drive Frequency- Low Frequency setting
Note
The instructions for changing the calibration number, units, PV URV,
PV LRV, and coil drive frequency can be found in the product
reference manual.
4. Power down the transmitter.
5. Connect the transmitter to the Calibration Standard.
See Calibration Standard connections to transmitter.
6. Power up the transmitter with the Calibration Standard connected.
7. Set the Calibration Standard to the 30 ft/s (9.1 m/s) setting.
8. Wait 30 minutes for accurate flow rate measurement.
The electronics need 30 minutes to warm up and stabilize after the
Calibration Standard is connected, oriented, and situated.
User Guide7
User GuideNovember 2019
9. Read the flow rate.
The flow rate reading after warm-up should be between 29.97 (9.1
m/s) and 30.03 ft/s (9.2 m/s).
10. If the reading is within the range, digital trim is not necessary.
a) Power down the transmitter.
b) Disconnect the Calibration Standard.
c) Power up the transmitter.
d) Return the transmitter to the original configuration
parameters recorded in Step 2.
e) Return the flow meter into service.
11. If the reading is not within this range, use the LOI or other
configuration tool perform a digital trim.
Performing the digital trim means simply executing the Digital Trim
function and waiting for it to complete.
• It takes about 90 seconds to complete. No transmitter
adjustments are required.
• You must use a Rosemount 8785 Calibration Standard to
complete this procedure. Attempting a digital trim without a
Rosemount 8785 Calibration Standard may result in an
inaccurate transmitter or a “DIGITAL TRIM FAILURE” message.
12. After completing the digital trim, verify the calibration at each flow
rate setting on the Calibration Standard:
• Use the selector switch on the Calibration Standard to change the
flow rate.
• Use the transmitter LOI or other configuration tool to read the
flow measurement.
• The flow rate reading should be within ±0.1% of the simulated
flow rate. For example, at 30 ft/s (9.14 m/s), the reading should
be between 29.97 ft/s and 30.03 ft/s (between 9.13 m/s and 9.15
m/s).
• If any of the verified values are not within ±0.1% of the simulated
flow rate, replace the transmitter and/or contact an Emerson
Flow representative for service (see back page).
Note
Only labeled and marked dial positions are used. The dial may turn to
other positions but will not provide meaningful outputs.
13. After successful verification:

6Troubleshooting
6.1General troubleshooting
If the Calibration Standard does not seem to be working at all:
• Verify connections have been made properly, see Calibration Standard
connections to transmitter.
• Inspect cables for wear and damage. Replacement cables can be
ordered, see Replacement cables.
• Verify transmitter power supply and wiring, and correct if needed.
If the heat sink fins on the back of the Calibration Standard become bent or
damaged, the Calibration Standard could overheat, which would affect its
performance.
If the Calibration Standard appears to be working properly, but you suspect
an inaccurate flow signal not caused by a faulty transmitter, the Calibration
Standard may need to be calibrated at the factory. See Service.

7.1Service
Replacement cables can be ordered and replaced in the field, see
Replacement cables.
External and internal parts replacement and service cannot be performed in
the field. The calibrator must be returned to the factory for these services.
The calibrator should itself be calibrated at the factory at least once per year,
and any time you suspect that it is no longer producing an accurate flow
signal.
See Emerson Flow customer service for service contact information.
