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.

Emerson Process Management can supply lining protectors to prevent liner damage during removal, installation, and excessive bolt torquing.

PRE-INSTALLATION

Caution symbol — check product documentation for details Protective conductor (grounding) terminal

Before installing the Rosemount 8732 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 8732 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 2-1). The transmitter should be mounted in a manner that prevents moisture in conduit from collecting in the transmitter.

If the 8732 is mounted remotely from the sensor, it is not subject to limitations that might apply to the sensor.
