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:

Quick Start Guide

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).

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.

Quick Start Guide

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.

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.

2.1.9 Insert integral temperature sensor (MTA option only)

Note

Step number of procedure corresponds with number in Figure 2-8.

Important

Carefully push the thermocouple in to the thermowell completely. This is
critical to get the proper insertion depth. Then thread the thermocouple
bolt in to the hole.

4. When the thermocouple bolt is hand tight, mark the position of the bolt
in relation to the meter body (the mark will help determine rotations).
Using a ½-in. wrench turn the bolt clockwise ¾ turn to seat the ferrule.

Note

After completing Step 4, the ferrule and thermocouple bolt will be
permanently installed on the thermocouple.

5. Verify the rubber O-ring is installed on the electronics connection end of
the thermocouple.

6. Verify the 2.5 mm hex head screw is installed.

7. Insert the electronics end connector in to the transmitter housing.
Tighten the screw with a 2.5 mm hex bit to secure the connection.

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.

If you ordered the armored remote electronics options, follow the same
instructions as for the standard remote cable connection with the exception
that the cable may not need to be run through conduit. Armored includes the
glands.

Quick Start Guide

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.

Note

Refer to the reference manual for details for the CPA option.

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 three 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.

April 2018

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 three housing rotation screws counter­clockwise (outward) to engage the support tube.

5 Connect wiring and power up

5.1 Power supply (HART)

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.

Power supply (Foundation fieldbus)

The flowmeter requires 9-32 Vdc at the power terminals. Each fieldbus power
supply requires a power conditioner to decouple the power supply output
from the fieldbus wiring segment.

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.
