Surface Mounting
To surface mount the transmitter:
1. Attach the 8732 to the mounting location using the mounting screws.
Identify Options and
Configurations
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:
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.
