Step 4: Uninstalled Sensor Tests

An uninstalled sensor can also be used for sensor troubleshooting. To interpret the results, the hazardous location certification for the sensor must be known. Applicable codes for the Rosemount 8705 are N0, N5, and KD. Applicable codes for the Rosemount 8707 are N0 and N5. Applicable codes for the Rosemount 8711 are N0, N5, E5, and KD.

A sensor circuit diagram is provided in Figure 6-1.Take measurements from the terminal block and on the electrode head inside the sensor. The measurement electrodes, 18 and 19, are on opposite sides in the inside diameter. If applicable, the third grounding electrode is in between the other two electrodes. On Rosemount 8711 sensors, electrode 18 is near the sensor junction box and electrode 19 is near the bottom of the sensor (Figure 6-2). The different sensor models will have slightly different resistance readings. Flanged sensor resistance readings are in Table 6-6while wafer sensor resistance readings are in Table 6-7.

See “Safety Information” on page 6-1for complete warning information.
