The following tools are required for installation,
maintenance, and troubleshooting:
▪Personal computer running Microsoft®Windows® 7,
Windows 8.1, or Windows 10 and Emerson Field Tools
configuration software (providing ROCLINK™800
configuration software).
▪Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver.
▪Flat-head screwdriver.
▪Hex socket wrench (M4).
1. You receive the FloBoss 104 in a box. Remove it from
the box.
2. Find a suitable location for the FloBoss 104. When
choosing an installation site, be sure to check all
clearances. Provide adequate clearance for wiring and
service. The optional LCD should be visible and accessible
for the on-site operator. See Figure 8.
3. Mounting of the FloBoss 104 can be accomplished
using one of the following methods:
▪Pipestand mounted to a 2-inch pipestand. Use the
standard Rosemount 2" (50mm) pipe mounting kit (with
impulse tubing connecting the FloBoss 104 to the meter
run). Ensure that the pipestand meets all weight
requirements and installation conforms to local building
codes. See Figure 9.

Note: The Rosemount pipe mounting kit is not suitable for
the stainless steel housing. Customers must provide
an appropriate mounting.
▪Direct mounting on a meter housing.
4. The FloBoss must be properly grounded. The FloBoss
104 has one grounding screw outside the enclosure and
two grounding screws inside the enclosure. See Figure 2.

Figure 2. Back End of FloBoss 104
(with Termination Board)
Proper grounding of the FloBoss 104 helps to reduce the
effects of electrical noise on the unit’s operation and
protects against lightning. The FloBoss provides lightning
protection for built-in field wiring inputs and outputs.
Install a surge protection device at the service disconnect on
DC voltage source systems to protect against lightning and
power surges for the installed equipment. You may also
consider a telephone surge protector for the optional dial-up
modem communications card.
All earth grounds must have an earth to ground rod or grid
impedance of 25 ohms or less, as measured with a ground
system tester. The grounding conductor should have a
resistance of 1 ohm or less between the FloBoss enclosure
ground and the earth ground rod or grid.
If the pipeline to earth impedance is greater than 2 ohms,
the FloBoss installation should be electrically isolated and
a ground rod or grid grounding system installed.
The recommended cable for I/O signal wiring is an
insulated, shielded, twisted-pair. The twisted pair and the
shielding minimize signal errors caused by EMI
(electromagnetic interference), RFI (radio frequency
interference), and transients.
5. The FloBoss must be connected to power, I/O
devices, and communication devices. The external
connections, or field terminals, are all located on the
termination board. The terminal block accepts wires
up to 1.29 mm (16 AWG) in size.
The FloBoss Termination Board connectors use
compression terminals. The input power termination
(CHG+ / CHG-) uses a removable connector and
accommodates wiring up to 1.29 mm (16 AWG) in
size. In all cases, make connections by baring the end
(6 mm maximum) of the wire, inserting the bared end
into the clamp beneath the termination screw, and
then tightening the screw to 0.25 N-m.
Access to wiring connections is via field wiring entries.
The metal pipe plugs provided must remain in place
on unused entries to maintain flame-proof integrity of
enclosure. If these plugs are replaced for any reason,
only install certified plugs or thread adapters that
meet or exceed the product ratings.
DANGER
Do not over torque the connector screws.
Note: Check the input power polarity before turning
on the power.
The inserted wires should have a minimum of bare
wire exposed to prevent short circuits. Allow some
slack when making connections to prevent strain.
The FloBoss 104 accepts input voltages from 8.0 volts
to 28 volts at the charge terminals (CHG+ / CHG-) with
no external current limiting (internal current limit is
200 mA).
The terminals are labeled CHG+ for positive power
connection and CHG- for negative power connection
on a label on the termination board. See Figure 3.

in the NORM position, and the ON/OFF jumper in the OFF
position.
To apply power to the FloBoss 104:
▪Unscrew the cover clamp at the base of the front end
cap (LCD end). See Figure 4.
Figure 4. Cover Clamp Assembly
▪Unscrew the front end cap cover.
▪Place the power jumper (located on the LCD if
installed or located at J1 on the Battery Charger Board)

▪Replace the front end cap cover (LCD end) and cover
clamp.
After the FloBoss 104 completes start-up diagnostics
(RAM and other internal checks), the optional LCD displays
the date and time to indicate that the FloBoss has
completed a valid reset sequence. If the LCD does not
come on, perform trouble-shooting for possible causes
(see Step 9).

7. The FloBoss 104 must be configured before it is
calibrated and placed into operation. Configuration must
be performed using ROCLINK 800 software, which runs on
a PC. The PC is normally connected to the LOI port of the
flow computer to transfer configuration data into the
FloBoss 104, although much of the configuration can be
done off-line and later loaded into the FloBoss.

Default values for all parameters exist in the firmware of
the FloBoss. If the default is acceptable for your
application, it can be left as it is. Perform adjustments to
the FloBoss through the configuration software. Refer to
the ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software User Manual (Part
D301159X012).
8. The calibration routines support 5-point calibration,
with the three mid-points calibrated in any order. The low-
end or zero reading is calibrated first, followed by the
high-end or full-scale reading. The three mid-points can
be calibrated next, if desired. The diagnostic analog
inputs—logic voltage (E1), battery voltage (E2), and
board/battery temperature (E5)—are not designed to be
calibrated.
With the optional I/O termination points installed, the
Analog Input can be calibrated using ROCLINK 800
software.
The built-in inputs that are supported with the 5-point
calibration are:
▪Differential pressure located at AI Point A1.
▪Static pressure located at AI Point A2.
▪RTD temperature located at AI Point A3.
These inputs are assigned to the first three Analog Input
points. The calibration procedure for these inputs is
described in the ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software User
Manual (Part D301159X012).
9. To troubleshoot problems with the FloBoss 104,
identify whether the problem is with the configuration or
the hardware. Check the configuration in ROCLINK 800
software to identify any incorrect settings. Inspect the
hardware for damage. Inspect the termination boards for
connection location errors.
If you are experiencing problems with the FloBoss 104 that
appear to be software related, try resetting the FloBoss
with a warm start, a cold start, or a jumper reset.
If you are experiencing problems that appear to be
hardware-related, verify the wiring. If you still experience
problems, contact your local sales office for return
authorization.
During operation, the FloBoss 104 can be monitored (to
view or retrieve current and historical data) either locally
or remotely. Local monitoring is accomplished either by
viewing the LCD panel detailed in Section 2, or by using
ROCLINK 800 software on a PC connected through the LOI
port. Remote monitoring is performed through Comm 1
or Comm 2 of the FloBoss using ROCLINK 800 software, or
host system. Refer to Figure 8 for the communication
terminations.
10. To remove the FloBoss 104 from operation.
disconnect power from the unit and then remove all
external wiring connections. Remove the gas lines. Finally
remove the FloBoss housing from the pipestand or orifice
plate. The FloBoss may be placed in a box for
transportation.
DANGER
Take care when removing gas lines from the FB104.
Use one wrench to prevent the sensor connector from
moving, and use a second wrench to disconnect the
gas line. Allowing the sensor to rotate will damage the
internal wiring.
Figure 7. FB104 Pulse Interface Housing
When connecting gas pressure lines to the optional
Pulse Interface module, note the maximum working
pressure limits to the individual P1 and P2 sensors
based on the model number of the module. For
example, Figure 7 shows a model PM24 module with
its P1 (300 PSIG/2068 kPa) and P2 (1000 PSIG/6894
kPa) sensor ranges.
