OPERATIONThe Rosemount 708 senses acoustic energy and temperature of the
waveguide. The acoustic energy is reported in 'counts,' which are a relative
indication of the magnitude of the acoustic energy sensed. The acoustic
sensor used in the Rosemount 708 is sensitive to a broad range of spectral
frequencies in order to work in many different installations. The acoustic
measurement or “count” in the Rosemount 708 is an average of the broad
range of frequencies. No additional signal processing is performed to isolate
specific frequencies.
This count information is used to determine the state of a steam trap,
pressure relief valve, or other mechanical system. The device works similar
to a discrete device, looking for a large change in noise level that is made
during a leak or release. In the case of steam traps, SteamLogic software
calculates the steam trap state based on the acoustic and temperature
information published by the Rosemount 708. (Refer to SteamLogic manual
for further information.)
In the case of other equipment, the Rosemount 708 may be configured with
alerts to detect and communicate changes in the state of the system being
monitored.

ALERTSThe Rosemount 708 can be configured to report alerts based on the acoustic
and temperature level measured. The Rosemount 708 also reports diagnostic
alerts when there is a device malfunction. For information on these alerts,
refer to Section 6: Troubleshooting. The following figures show how the AMS
Suite Intelligent Device Manager overview screen looks for each of the alert
conditions.
Figure 5-1. AMS Device
Manager Overview Screen,
Normal Conditions
The Rosemount 708 provides 4 user configurable alerts.
Acoustic High - Triggers when acoustic level exceeds a user configured
threshold.
Acoustic Low - Triggers when acoustic level falls below a user configured
threshold.
Temperature High - Triggers when temperature level exceeds a user
configured threshold.
Temperature Low - Triggers when temperature level falls below a user
configured threshold.
Alert Setup
There are three methods that can be used to set up these alerts using AMS
Wireless Configurator or a field communicator.
Alert Setup - Install and Learn
To use the install and learn function on the device to setup the alerts the
device must be installed and the equipment being monitored must be in its
normal state. After insta llation and oper ating conditions have be en confirmed,
go to the configuration menu under guided setup and click on “alert setup.”
This will launch a dialog menu (Figure 5-3 on page 5-3), click on “Install and Learn Alert Setup.” The application will then go through a series of steps that
will determine the current input conditions and set alerts based on this normal
operation (Figure 5-4).
If the input conditions are too close to the high or low measurement limits of
the device, the install and learn function will not be a good method to set the
alert levels. If this is the case, it is recommended that installation conditions
be checked and that the status is verified before mov ing ahead. If current
input conditions do not allow for the install and learn function, use the manu al
or guided alert setup to set alerts.

All recommended practices should be followed to ensure highest data
reliability . Deviation from those best practices may require device repeaters in
the network to maintain 99% data reliability. The following are guidelines to
achieve the best possible Smart Wireless Network.
1.Each wireless network field should be scoped to a single process
unit.
2.Minimize the number of hops to the Gateway in order to reduce
latency. Contain a minimum of five wireless instruments within
effective range of the Smart Wireless Gateway.
3.Have at minimum three devices with potential communication paths.
For stronger performance, increase the required number of wireless
neighbor devices to four or five. This increases the number of
potential paths and thus optimized network performance.
4.Have 25 percent of wireless instruments in the network within range
of Smart Wireless Gateway. Other enhancing modifications include
creating a higher percentage of devices within effective range of the
gateway to 35 percent or more. This clusters more devices around
the gateway and ensures fewer hops and more bandwidth available
to WirelessHART devices with fast scan rates.
5.Keep path distance from Gateway to a minimum. Fo r better
performance, the path typically is within range of one to two hops.
This will utilize path redundancy and create very short transit times.
6.Effective range is determined by type of process unit and the density
of the infrastructure that surrounds the network.
EFFECTIVE RANGEHeavy Obstruction: 100 ft. (30 m). Typical heavy density plant environment.
Cannot drive a truck or equipment through.
Medium Obstruction: 250 ft. (76 m). Typical light process areas, lots of
space between equipment and infrastructure.
Light Obstruction: 500 ft. (152 m). Typical of tank farms. Despite tanks being
big obstructions themselves, lots of spac e between and above makes for
good RF propagation.
Line of Sight: 750 ft. (230 m). No obstructions between WirelessHART
devices and devices mounted a minimum of 6 ft. (2 m) above groun d or
obstructions.
