IMPORTANT NOTICE

This document provides basic installation guidelines for the Rosemount® 8712. It does not provide instructions for detailed configuration, diagnostics, maintenance, service, troubleshooting, explosion-proof, flame-proof, or intrinsically safe (I.S.) installations. Refer to the Rosemount 8712 reference manual (document number 00809-0100-4664) for more instructions. The manual and this QIG are also available electronically on www.rosemount.com.

WARNING

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 sensor and transmitter is consistent with the appropriate FM, CSA, ATEX, or IECEx approval.

Do not connect a Rosemount 8712 to a non-Rosemount sensor that is located in an explosive atmosphere.

WARNING

The sensor liner is vulnerable to handling damage. Never place anything through the sensor for the purpose of lifting or gaining leverage. Liner damage can render the sensor useless.

To avoid possible damage to the sensor 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 sensor ends are often used for protection.

Correct flange bolt tightening is crucial for proper sensor 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 sensor lining and possible sensor replacement.
