Changing the
Housing Orientation
The entire electronics housing may be rotated in 90 degree increments for
easy viewing. Use the following steps to change the housing orientation:
1. Loosen the screw on the access cover on the support tube (if
present) and remove the cover.
2. Loosen the three housing rotation set screws at the base of the
electronics housing with a
5
/32-in. hex wrench by turning the screws
clockwise (inward) until they clear the support tube.
3. Slowly pull the electronics housing out of the support tube.
4. Unscrew the sensor cable from the housing with a
5
/16-in. open end
wrench.
NOTE
Do not pull the housing more than 1.5-in. (40 mm) from the top of the support
tube until the sensor cable is disconnected. Damage to the sensor may occur
if this sensor cable is stressed.
5. Rotate the housing to the desired orientation.
6. Hold it in this orientation while you screw the sensor cable onto the
base of the housing.
NOTE
Do not rotate the housing while the sensor cable is attached to the base of the
housing. This will stress the cable and may damage the sensor.
7. Place the electronics housing into the top of the support tube.
8. Use a hex wrench to turn the three housing rotation screws
counterclockwise to engage the support tube.
9. Replace the access cover on the support tube (if present).
10. Tighten the screw on the access cover (if present).
Temperature Sensor
Replacement
(MTA Option Only)
Replacement of the temperature sensor should only be necessary in the
event of a failure. Use the following procedure for replacement.
NOTE
Disconnect power before replacing temperature sensor.
1. Turn off power to Rosemount 8800D.
2. Remove temperature sensor from meter body by using a
1
/2-in. open
end wrench.
NOTE
Use plant approved procedure for removing a temperature sensor from a
thermowell.
3. Remove temperature sensor from electronics by using a 2.5 mm allen
wrench to remove cap head screw from electronics.
4. Gently pull temperature sensor from electronics.
