Environmental considerations
To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid extreme temperature and excessive
vibration. Typical problem areas:
high-vibration lines with integrally mounted transmitters
warm-climate installations in direct sunlight
outdoor installations in cold climates.
Remote-mounted transmitters may be installed in the control room to protect
the electronics from the harsh environment and provide easy access for
configuration or service.
Both remotely and integrally mounted Rosemount 8750W transmitters require
external power so there must be access to a suitable power source.
Installation procedures
Rosemount 8750W installation includes both detailed mechanical and electrical
installation procedures.
Mount the transmitter
At a remote site the transmitter 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 Rosemount 8750W transmitter to the mounting bracket using the
mounting screws.
Identify options and configurations
The standard application of the 8750W includes a 4–20 mA output and control of
the sensor coils and electrodes. Other applications may require one or more of
the following configurations or options:
HART Multidrop Configuration
Discrete Output
Discrete Input
Pulse Output
Be sure to identify any additional options and configurations that apply to the
installation. Keep a list of these options nearby for consideration during the
installation and configuration procedures.
