Identify Options and Configurations

Surface Mounting

To surface mount the transmitter:

1.Attach the 8732 to the mounting location using the mounting screws.

The standard application of the Rosemount 8732 includes a FOUNDATION fieldbus output. Be sure to identify options and configurations that apply to your situation, and keep a list of them nearby for consideration during the installation and configuration procedures.

Hardware Switches

The 8732 electronics board is equipped with two user-selectable hardware switches. These switches set the Transmitter Security and Simulate Mode. The standard configuration for these switches when shipped from the factory are as follows:

Transmitter Security:	OFF
Simulate Mode	OFF

Definitions of these switches and their functions are provided below. If you determine that the settings must be changed, see below.

Transmitter Security

The security switch on the 8732 allows the user to lock out any configuration changes attempted on the transmitter. No changes to the configuration are allowed when the switch is in the ON position. The flow rate indication function remains active at all times.

With the switch in the ON position, you may still access and review any of the operating parameters and scroll through the available choices, but no actual data changes are allowed. Transmitter security is set in the OFF position when shipped from the factory.

Simulate Mode

The Simulate Mode switch is used in conjunction with the Analog Input (AI) function block. The switch is used to enable flow measurement simulation. To enable the simulate enable feature, the switch must transition from OFF to ON after power is applied to the transmitter, preventing the transmitter from being accidentally left in simulate mode. Simulate Mode is set in the OFF position when shipped from the factory.

Changing Hardware Switch Settings

In most cases, it is not necessary to change the setting of the hardware switches. If you need to change the switch settings, complete the steps below:

NOTE

The hardware switches are located on the top side of the electronics board and changing their settings requires opening the electronics housing. If possible, carry out these procedures away from the plant environment in order to protect the electronics.
