2 Installation

2.1 Mount the flowmeter

Design process piping so the meter body will remain full, with no entrapped
air. The vortex flowmeter can be installed in any orientation without affecting
accuracy. However, the following are guidelines for certain installations.

2.1.1 Vertical mounting

If the vortex flowmeter will be installed in a vertical orientation:

• Install upward or downward flow for gas or steam.

• Install upward flow for liquids.

2.1.2 Horizontal mounting

Horizontal installationFigure 2-2:

B

A

A. Preferred installation—meter body installed with electronics to side of pipe
B. Acceptable installation—meter body installed with electronics above pipe

For steam and fluids with small solids content, it is recommended to have the
flowmeter installed with the electronics to the side of the pipe. This will
minimize potential measurement errors by allowing the condensate or solids
to flow under the shedder bar without interrupting the vortex shedding.

2.1.3 High temperature mounting

The maximum temperature for integral electronics is dependent on the
ambient temperature where the flowmeter is installed. The electronics must
not exceed 185 °F (85 °C).

Figure 2-3 shows combinations of ambient and process temperatures needed

to maintain a housing temperature of less than 185 °F (85 °C).

Note

The indicated limits are for horizontal pipe and vertical meter position, with meter
and pipe insulated with 3 in. (77 mm) of ceramic fiber insulation.

The following orientations are recommended for applications with high
process temperatures.

• Install with electronics head beside or below process pipe.

• Insulation around pipe may be necessary to maintain ambient

temperature below 185 °F (85 °C).

Note

Insulate pipe and meter body only. Do not insulate support tube bracket or
transmitter so heat can be dissipated.

2.1.4 Steam installations

Avoid installation shown in Figure 2-4. Such conditions may cause a water­hammer condition at start-up due to trapped condensation.

Improper installationFigure 2-4:

2.1.5 Upstream/downstream requirements

The flowmeter may be installed with a minimum of ten straight pipe
diameters (D) upstream and five straight pipe diameters (D) downstream by
following the K-factor corrections as described in the 8800 Installation Effects
Technical Data Sheet (00816-0100-3250). No K-factor correction is required
if 35 straight pipe diameters upstream (35D) and 10 straight pipe diameters
downstream (10D) are present.

2.1.6 External pressure/temperature transmitters

When using pressure and temperature transmitters in conjunction with the
flowmeter for compensated mass flows, install the transmitters downstream
of the flowmeter as shown in Figure 2-5.

A. Installation bolts and nuts (supplied by customer)
B. Gaskets (supplied by customer)
C. Flow direction

Note

The required bolt load for sealing the gasket joint is affected by several factors,
including operating pressure, gasket material, width, and condition. A number of
factors also affect the actual bolt load resulting from a measured torque,
including condition of bolt threads, friction between the nut head and the flange,
and parallelism of the flanges. Due to these application-dependent factors, the
required torque for each application may be different. Follow the guidelines
outlined in ASME PCC-1 for proper bolt tightening. Make sure the flowmeter is
centered between flanges of the same nominal size as the flowmeter.

2.2

Install remote electronics

If you order one of the remote electronics options (options R10, R20, R30, or
RXX), the flowmeter assembly ships in two parts:

1. The meter body with an adapter installed in the support tube and an
interconnecting coaxial cable attached to it.

2. The electronics housing installed on a mounting bracket.

Refer to Figure 2-7 and these steps to connect the loose end of the coaxial
cable to the electronics housing.

Procedure

1. If you plan to run the coaxial cable in conduit, carefully cut the conduit to
the desired length to provide for proper assembly at the housing. A
junction box may be placed in the conduit run to provide a space for extra
coaxial cable length.

CAUTION!

The coaxial remote cable cannot be field terminated or cut to length. Coil
any extra coaxial cable with no less than a 2-in. (51 mm) radius.

2. Slide the conduit adapter or cable gland over the loose end of the coaxial
cable and fasten it to the adapter on the meter body support tube.

3. If using conduit, route the coaxial cable through the conduit.

4. Place a conduit adapter or cable gland over the end of the coaxial cable.

5. Remove the housing adapter from the electronics housing.

6. Slide the housing adapter over the coaxial cable.

7. Remove one of the four housing base screws.

8. Attach and securely tighten the coaxial cable nut to the connection on
the electronics housing.

9. Attach the coaxial cable ground wire to the housing via the housing base
ground screw.

10. Align the housing adapter with the housing and attach with two screws.

11. Tighten the conduit adapter or cable gland to the housing adapter.

CAUTION!

To prevent moisture from entering the coaxial cable connections, install
the interconnecting coaxial cable in a single dedicated conduit run or use
sealed cable glands at both ends of the cable.

3 Consider housing rotation

The entire electronics housing may be rotated in 90° increments for easy
viewing. Use the following steps to change the housing orientation,

1. Loosen the four housing rotation set screws at the base of the electronics
housing with a 5/32” hex wrench by turning the screws clockwise
(inward) until they clear the support tube.

2. Slowly pull the electronics housing out of the support tube.

CAUTION!

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.

3. Unscrew the sensor cable from the housing with a 5/16” open end
wrench.

4. Rotate the housing to the desired orientation.

5. Hold it in this orientation while you screw the sensor cable onto the base
of the housing.

CAUTION!

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.

6. Place the electronics housing into the top of the support tube.

7. Use a hex wrench to turn the four housing rotation screws counter­clockwise (outward) to engage the support tube.

5 Connect wiring and power up

5.1 Power supply

The dc power supply should provide power with less than two percent ripple.
The total resistance load is the sum of the resistance of the signal leads and
the load resistance of the controller, indicator, and related pieces. Note that
the resistance of intrinsic safety barriers, if used, must be included.

Maximum Loop Resistance = 41.7 (Power Supply Voltage - 10.8) The Field
Communicator requires a minimum loop resistance of 250 ohms.

5.2

Conduit installation

Prevent condensation in any conduit from flowing into the housing by
mounting the flowmeter at a high point in the conduit run. If the flowmeter is
mounted at a low point in the conduit run, the terminal compartment could
fill with fluid.

If the conduit originates above the flowmeter, route conduit below the
flowmeter before entry. In some cases a drain seal may need to be installed.

5.3

Wire the flowmeter

Use the following steps to wire the flowmeter:

1. Remove the housing cover on the side marked FIELD TERMINALS.

2. Connect the positive lead to the “+” terminal and the negative lead to the
“−” terminal as shown in Figure 5-3 for HART installations.

3. For HART installations utilizing the pulse output, connect the positive
lead to the “+” terminal of the pulse output and the negative lead to the
“−” terminal of the pulse output as shown in Figure 5-4. A separate 5 to 30
Vdc power supply is required for the pulse output. Maximum switching
current for the pulse output is 120 mA.

CAUTION!

Do not connect the powered signal wiring to the test terminals. Power
could damage the test diode in the test connection. Twisted pairs are
required to minimize noise pick up in the 4–20 mA signal and digital
communication signal. For high EMI/RFI environments, shielded signal
wire is required and preferred in all other installations. Use 24 AWG or
larger wire and do not exceed 5,000 feet (1,500 meters). For ambient
temperatures above 140 °F (60 °C) use wire rated to 176 °F (80 °C) or
higher.

Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 show wiring connections necessary to power a

transmitter and enable communications with a hand-held Field
Communicator.

4. Plug and seal unused conduit connections. Use pipe sealing tape or paste
on threads to ensure a moisture-tight seal. Housing conduit entries
marked with M20 will require M20 x 1.5 blanking plug thread. Unmarked
conduit entries will require a ½–14 NPT blanking plug thread.

Note

Straight threads require a minimum of three wraps of tape to obtain a
tight seal.

5. If applicable, install wiring with a drip loop. Arrange the drip loop so the
bottom is lower than the conduit connections and the flowmeter
housing.

Note

Installation of the transient protection terminal block does not provide
transient protection unless the transmitter case is properly grounded.

5.4 Secure cover jam screw

For transmitter housings shipped with a cover jam screw, the screw should be
properly installed once the transmitter has been wired and powered up. The
cover jam screw is intended to disallow the removal of the transmitter cover
in flameproof environments without the use of tooling.

1. Verify the cover jam screw is completely threaded into the housing.

2. Install the transmitter housing cover and verify that the cover is tight
against the housing.

3. Using an M4 hex wrench, loosen the jam screw until it contacts the
transmitter cover.

4. Turn the jam screw an additional ½ turn counterclockwise to secure the
cover.

CAUTION!

Application of excessive torque may strip the threads.

5. Verify that the cover cannot be removed.
