Instructions manual Introduction

00809-0100-3106 February 2022

• If you receive the message: This meter supports the Transducer

Swap-Out using zero flow calibration, but it has not
previously been entered, you need to make sure you have the meter

housing lengths for each chord of the meter body.
The meter housing lengths for the body are stamped on a metal tag (values are

labeled BODY FACE TO FACE) attached to the meter body and can also be
obtained from an original Zero Flow Report that was generated when the meter
was first assembled.

Figure 1-1: Metrology Tag

If you cannot get the values from the tag and you do not have the original Zero
Flow Report or CMM report, contact Customer Service and they can provide this
information for you.

Important

Make sure to have the meter body serial number available before contacting
support.

• If you did not receive the message above when opening the Transducer Swap-

Out wizard, make sure the Meter Housing chord lengths are not zero in the
dialog or you will need to locate the meter housing chord lengths.

7. Once you have this information, you can proceed with the upgrade.

2 Removing the T-xx transducers

2.1 Remove the meter from service

Procedure

1. Follow all company procedures and safe practices to remove the meter from
service. The meter must be fully vented to the atmosphere prior to proceeding with
the next section.

2. While the transducer cabling is all intrinsically safe, it is still recommended to
remove power from the meter before beginning the upgrade as an additional level
of safety.

WARNING

FLUID CONTENTS MAY BE UNDER PRESSURE
When the meter is under pressure, DO NOT attempt to remove or adjust the
transducer holder.

Attempting to do so may release pressurized gas or fluid, resulting in serious injury
or equipment damage.

CAUTION

ESCAPING GASES OR FLUIDS HAZARD
The purchaser of the meter is responsible for the selection of Rosemount
components/seals and materials compatible with the chemical properties of gas
flow measurement.

Failure to select the suitable meter component/seals may cause escaping gases or
liquids, resulting in injury or equipment damage.

2.2 Remove the T-xx transducers

Procedure

1. Remove the transducer cables from the back of the transducers.

a) For meters with standard chordsets, unthread the cable nut by hand and

remove the transducer chordset.

2. Use the 5/16” Allen wrench to remove the four to six mount bolts holding each
mount in place. Keep the bolts clean and together because they are used to attach
the new T-xxx transducers to the meter body.

3. Pull all the transducer assembles off the meter body and set them aside.

4. Use a cloth to wipe out the transducer ports, especially the surface to which the
transducer mount O-ring mated. Visually check the ports to make sure they are free
of debris as well. Clean as needed.
