STEP 1: PRE-INSTALLATION
Before installing the Rosemount 8750WA 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 8750WA 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).
If the Rosemount 8750WA is mounted separately from the sensor, it is not subject to
limitations that might apply to the sensor.

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 provide easy access for configuration or service.
Both remotely and integrally mounted Rosemount 8750WA transmitters require external
power so there must be access to a suitable power source.
Installation Procedures
Rosemount 8750WA 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 bracket to the pipe using the mounting hardware.
2. Attach the Rosemount 8750WA transmitter to the mounting bracket using the mounting
screws.
Identify Options and Configurations
The standard application of the 8750WA includes a 4–20 mA output and control of the
sensor coils and electrodes. Other applications may require one or more of the following
configurations or options:
• Multidrop Communications
• Digital Output
• Digital Input
• 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 8750WA electronics board is equipped with three or four user-selectable hardware
switches depending on the transmitter model ordered. These switches set the Failure Alarm
Mode, Internal/External Analog Power, Internal/External Pulse Power (8750WA32), and
Transmitter Security. The standard configuration for these switches when shipped from the
factory is as follows:
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 Rosemount 8750WA, consider the local and
plant electrical standards and be sure to have the proper power supply, conduit, and other
accessories.
Rotate Transmitter Housing
The integral electronics housing can be rotated on the sensor in 90° increments by
loosening the four mounting bolts on the bottom of the housing, and reinstalling the bolts.
When reinstalling the housing, be sure the surface is clean and there is no gap between the
housing and the sensor.
Failure Alarm Mode: HIGH
Internal/External Analog Power: INTERNAL
Internal/External Pulse Power: EXTERNAL (8750WA32 only)
Transmitter Security: OFF

STEP 2: HANDLING
Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible, transport the system to
the installation site in the original shipping containers. 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.

STEP 3: MOUNTING
Upstream/Downstream Piping
To ensure specification accuracy over widely varying process conditions, install the sensor a
minimum of five straight pipe diameters upstream and two pipe diameters downstream from
the electrode plane (see Figure 3).
The 8750WA may be installed with as few as zero pipe diameters upstream. Consult the
factory for performance in applications with less than ideal straight runs. Sensors can be
installed with as few as zero diameters of straight run.
Flow Direction
The sensor should be mounted so the FORWARD end of the flow arrow, shown on the
sensor identification tag, points in the direction of flow through the sensor.
Sensor Orientation
The sensor should be installed in a position that ensures the sensor remains full during
operation. Vertical installation allows upward process fluid flow and 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.

The electrodes in the Rosemount 8750WA flanged sensor are properly orientated when the
two measurement electrodes are in the 3 and 9 o’clock positions, as shown on the right of
Figure 4.
The electrodes in the Rosemount 8750WA wafer sensor are properly orientated when the
top of the sensor is either vertical or horizontal, as shown in Figure 5. Avoid any mounting
orientation that positions the top of the sensor at 45° from the vertical or horizontal position.

STEP 4: INSTALLATION
Flanged Sensors
Gaskets
The sensor requires a gasket at each of its connections to adjacent devices or piping. The gasket
material selected must be compatible with the process fluid and operating conditions. Metallic or
spiral-wound gaskets can damage the liner. Gaskets are required on each side of a
grounding ring. All other applications (including sensors with lining protectors or a grounding
electrode) require only one gasket on each end connection.
Flange Bolts
Suggested torque values by sensor line size and liner type are listed in Table 1. Consult the
factory if the flange rating of the sensor is not listed. Tighten flange bolts on the upstream
side of the sensor in the incremental sequence shown in Figure 6 to 20% 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 or
until the leak between the process and sensor flanges stop.
If leakage has not stopped 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. Sensors require a second tightening 24 hours after
the initial installation. Over time, sensor liner materials may deform under pressure.

Wafer Sensors
Gaskets
The sensor requires a gasket at each of its connections to adjacent devices or piping. The gasket
material selected must be compatible with the process fluid and operating conditions. Metallic or
spiral-wound gaskets can damage the liner. Gaskets are required on each side of a
grounding ring.
Alignment and Bolting
1. On 1.5 - through 8-inch (40 through 200 mm) line sizes. Rosemount strongly
recommends ordering the centering rings to insure proper centering of the sensor
between the process flanges. Place the alignment rings over each end of the sensor.
The smaller line sizes, 0.5 and 1 in. (15 and 25 mm), do not require centering rings.
2. Insert studs for the bottom side of the sensor between the pipe flanges. Stud
specifications are listed in Table 2.
NOTE
Using carbon steel bolts on smaller line sizes, 0.5 and 1 in. (15 and 25 mm), rather than the
required stainless steel bolts, will degrade performance.
