1 Safety
WARNING!
•Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in serious injury
or death.
•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.
•Rosemount Magnetic Flowmeters ordered with non-standard paint
options or non-metallic labels may be subject to electrostatic discharge.
To avoid electrostatic charge build-up, do not rub the flowmeter with a
dry cloth or clean with solvents.
•Verify that the operating environment of the sensor and transmitter is
consistent with the appropriate Agency Approval.
•If installed in an explosive atmosphere, verify that the device certification
and installation techniques are suitable for that particular environment.
•To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmosphere, disconnect
power before servicing circuits.
•Explosion hazard—Do not disconnect equipment when a flammable or
combustible atmosphere is present.
•Do not connect a Rosemount Transmitter to a non-Rosemount sensor
when installed in an “Ex” environment, explosive atmosphere, hazardous
area, or classified area.
•Follow national, local, and plant standards to properly earth ground the
transmitter and sensor. The earth ground must be separate from the
process reference ground.
CAUTION!
•In cases where high voltage/high current are present near the meter
installation, ensure proper protection methods are followed to prevent
stray voltage/current from passing through the meter. Failure to
adequately protect the meter could result in damage to the transmitter
and lead to meter failure.
•Completely remove all electrical connections from both sensor and
transmitter prior to welding on the pipe. For maximum protection of the
sensor, consider removing it from the pipeline.

3 Pre-installation
Before installing the transmitter, there are several pre-installation steps that
should be completed to make the installation process easier:
•Identify options and configurations that apply to your application
•Set the hardware switches if necessary
•Consider mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements
Note
Refer to the product reference manual for more detailed requirements.
Identify options and configurations
The typical transmitter installation includes a device power connection, a
Modbus RS-485 output connection, and sensor coil and electrode
connections. Other applications may require one or more of the following
configurations or options:
•Pulse output
•Discrete input/discrete output
Hardware switches
The transmitter has two user-selectable hardware switches. These switches
set the internal/external pulse power and transmitter security. The standard
configuration for these switches when shipped from the factory is as follows:
Hardware switch default settingsTable 3-1:
Setting Factory configuration
Internal/external pulse power External
Transmitter security Off
The internal/external pulse power switch is not available when ordered with
intrinsically safe output, ordering code B.
In most cases, it is not necessary to change the setting of the hardware
switches. If the switch settings need to be changed, refer to the product
reference manual.
Be sure to identify any additional options and configurations that apply to the
installation. Keep a list of these options for consideration during the
installation and configuration procedures.

Mechanical considerations
The mounting site for the transmitter should provide enough room for
secure mounting, easy access to conduit entries, full opening of the
transmitter covers, and easy readability of the Local Operator Interface (LOI)
screen (if equipped).

national, local, and plant electrical installation requirements. Be sure to have
the proper power supply, conduit, and other accessories necessary to comply
with these standards.

Environmental considerations
To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid extreme temperatures and
excessive vibration. Typical problem areas include the following:
•High-vibration lines with integrally mounted transmitters
•Tropical or desert installations in direct sunlight
•Outdoor installations in arctic climates
Remote mounted transmitters may be installed in the control room to
protect the electronics from the harsh environment and to provide easy
access for configuration or service.

4 Mounting
Remote-mount transmitters are shipped wth a mounting bracket for use on a
2-in. pipe or a flat surface.
Procedure
1. Orient the transmitter on the mounting bracket.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the instrument pole and securely tighten
the fasteners.

increments up to 180 degrees. Do not rotate more than 180 degrees in
any one direction.

5 Wiring
5.1 Conduit entries and connections
Transmitter conduit entry ports can be ordered with ½"-14NPT or M20
female threaded connections. Conduit connections should be made in
accordance with national, local, and plant electrical codes. Unused conduit
entries should be sealed with the appropriate certified plugs. The plastic
shipping plugs do not provide ingress protection.
5.2 Conduit requirements
•For installations with an intrinsically safe electrode circuit, a separate
conduit for the coil cable and the electrode cable may be required. Refer
to the product reference manual.
•For installations with non-intrinsically safe electrode circuit, or when
using the combination cable, a single dedicated conduit run for the coil
drive and electrode cable between the sensor and the remote transmitter
may be acceptable. Removal of the barriers for intrinsic safety isolation is
permitted for non-intrinsically safe electrode installations.
•Bundled cables from other equipment in a single conduit are likely to
create interference and noise in the system. See Figure 5-1.
•Electrode cables should not be run together in the same cable tray with
power cables.
•Output cables should not be run together with power cables.
•Select conduit size appropriate to feed cables through to the flowmeter.

5.3 Sensor to transmitter wiring
Integral mount transmitters
Integral mount transmitters ordered with a sensor will be shipped assembled
and wired at the factory using an interconnecting cable. Use only the factory
supplied cable provided with the instrument. For replacement transmitters
use the existing interconnecting cable from the original assembly.
Replacement cables, if applicable, are available (see Figure 5-2).
