OVERVIEW
The Rosemount 8712C and 8712U transmitters are being obsoleted, and
replaced with a new revision, the 8712D. A summary of the improvements
can be found in the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) (00816-0100-4661). The
8712D was developed to be a direct replacement for the 8712C and 8712U.
The 8712D boards can be retrofitted into existing 8712C and 8712U
transmitter housings with minimum changes. The new 8712D boards work
with existing LOI’s with no modification. From a service standpoint, there are
two changes to be aware of:
•
The 8712D requires a new DD. This DD has been distributed to
Service. The TDS 00816-0100-4661 includes directions to determine if
the existing 275 DD’s need to be upgraded.
•
The 8712D boards come in two versions, AC (8712-0822-0001) and
DC (8712-0822-0010) powered. This eliminates the separate large
transformer previously mounted in the transmitter housing of the AC
powered units.
DC POWERED UNITS
The 8712D DC (8712-0822-0010) electronics are a drop in replacement for
the electronics used in an 8712C DC powered transmitter.
