ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid temperature extremes and vibration. Typical problem areas include:

•high-vibration lines with integrally mounted transmitters

•warm-climate installations in direct sunlight

•outdoor installations in cold climates.

INSTALLATION

PROCEDURES Mount the Transmitter

Remote-mounted transmitters may be installed in the control room to protect the electronics from a harsh environment and provides easy access for configuration or service.

Rosemount 8732 transmitters require external power so there must be access to a suitable power source.

Rosemount 8732 installation includes both detailed mechanical and electrical installation procedures.

Remote-mounted transmitters 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 8732 to the mounting bracket using the mounting screws.
