The primary variable as a percentage of range provides a gauge as to where the measured flow rate of the meter is within the configured range of the meter. For example, the range may be defined as 0 gal/min to 20 gal/min. If the measured flow rate is 10 gal/min, the percent of range is 50 percent.

2.1.3 Analog Output

FastKeys

The analog output variable provides the analog value for the primary variable. The analog output refers to the industry standard output in the 4–20 mA range. Check the analog output value against the actual loop reading given by a multi-meter. If it does not match, a 4–20 mA trim is required. See “Analog Trim” on page 51.

Fixed Process Temperature

FastKeys

Needed for the electronics to compensate for thermal expansion of the flowmeter as the process temperature differs from the reference temperature. Process temperature is the temperature of the liquid or gas in the line during flowmeter operation.

May also be used as a back-up temperature value in the event of a temperature sensor failure if the MTA option is installed.

2, 2, 1, 1, 4

Fixed Process Density

FastKeys

A Fixed Process Density must be accurately configured if mass flow or corrected volume flow measurements are used. In mass flow it is used to convert volume flow to mass flow. In corrected volume flow it is used with the base process density to derive a density ratio which in turn is used to convert volume flow to corrected volume flow. In temperature compensated fluids the fixed process density is still required as it is used to convert volume flow sensor limits to sensor limits for temperature compensated fluids.

Note

If mass or corrected volume units are chosen, you must enter the density of your process fluid into the software. Be careful to enter the correct density. The mass flow rate and density ratio are calculated using this user-entered density, and unless the transmitter is in TComp Sat Steam or TComp Liquids mode where changes in density are automatically being compensated for, any error in this number will cause error in the measurement.

2, 2, 3, 1

Base Process Density

FastKeys

The density of the fluid at base conditions. This density is used in corrected volume flow measurement. It is not required for volume flow, mass flow, or velocity flow. The Base Process Density is used with the Process Density to calculate the Density Ratio. In temperature compensated fluids, the Process Density is calculated by the transmitter. In non-temperature compensated fluids the Fixed Process Density is used to calculate a fixed Density Ratio. Density Ratio is used to convert actual volumetric flow to standard volumetric flow rates based on the following equation:

2.2.10 Damping

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4004, Rev DC

FastKeys

Damping changes the response time of the flowmeter to smooth variations in output readings caused by rapid changes in input. Damping is applied to the Analog Output, Primary Varia ble, Percent of Range, and Vortex Frequency.

The default damping value is 2.0 seconds. This can be configured to any value between 0.2 to 255 seconds when PV is a flow variable or 0.4 to 32 seconds when PV is Process Temperature. Determine the appropriate damping setting based on the necessary response time, signal stability, and other requirements of the loop dynamics in your system.

Note

If the vortex shedding frequency is slower than the damping value selected, no damping is applied. Process Temperature damping can be modified when PV is set to Process Tem p er at ur e.

2.2.11 Optimize DSP (Digital Signal Processing)

FastKeys

A function that can be used to optimize the range of the flowmeter based on the density of the fluid. The electronics uses process density to calculate the minimum measurable flow rate, while retaining at least a 4:1 signal to the trigger level ratio. This function will also reset all of the filters to optimize the flowmeter performance over the new range. If the configuration of the device has changed, this method should be executed to ensure the signal processing parameters are set to their optimum settings. For dynamic process densities, select a density value that is lower than the lowest expected flowing density.

3.2 Commissioning

Commission the Rosemount 8800D before putting it into operation. This ensures proper configuration and operation of the meter. It also enables you to check hardware settings, test the flowmeter electronics, verify flowmeter configuration data, and check output variables. Any problems can be corrected – or configuration settings changed – before going out into the installation environment. To commission on the bench, connect the Field

Communicator or AMS loop in accordance with the specifications for your device.

Before you install a flowmeter in any application, you must consider flowmeter sizing (the line size) and location. Choose the correct flowmeter size for an application to increase rangeability and minimize pressure drop and cavitation. Proper location of the flowmeter can ensure a clean and accurate signal. Follow the installation instructions carefully to reduce start-up delays, ensure ease of maintenance, and ensure optimum performance.

3.2.1 Flowmeter sizing

Correct meter sizing is important for flowmeter performance. The Rosemount 8800D is capable of measuring flow within the limitations described in Appendix A: Specifications

and Reference Data.

™

Device Manager (or other communications device) to the signal

Installation

May 2016

To determine the correct flowmeter size for an application, process conditions must be within the stated requirements for Reynolds number and velocity. See Appendix A:

3.2.2 Flowmeter orientation

Design process piping so the meter body will remain full, with no entrapped air. Allow enough straight pipe both upstream and downstream of the meter body to ensure a nonskewed, symmetrical flow profile. Install valves downstream of the meter when possible.

Vertical installation

Vertical, upward, installation allows upward process liquid flow and is generally preferred. Upward flow ensures that the meter body always remains full and that any solids in the fluid are evenly distributed.

The vortex meter can be mounted in the vertical down position when measuring gas or steam flows. This type of application should be strongly discouraged for liquid flows, although it can be done with proper piping design.

Installation

Note

To ensure the meter body remains full, avoid downward vertical liquid flows where back pressure is inadequate.

Installation

May 2016

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4004, Rev DC

Horizontal installation

For horizontal installation, the preferred orientation is to have the electronics installed to the side of the pipe. In liquid applications, this ensures any entrained air or solids do not strike the shedder bar and disrupt the shedding frequency. In gas or steam applications, this ensures any entrained liquid (such as condensate) or solids do not strike the shedder bar and disrupt the shedding frequency.

High-temperature installations

Install the meter body so the electronics are positioned to the side of the pipe or below the pipe as shown in Figure 3-2. Insulation may be required around the pipe to maintain an electronics temperature below 185 °F (85 °C). See Figure 3-10 on page 34 for special insulation considerations.

Figure 3-2. Examples of High-Temperature Installations

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

Steam installations

For steam applications, avoid installations such as the one shown in Figure 3-3. Such installations may cause a water-hammer condition at start-up due to trapped condensate. The high force from the water hammer can over stress the sensing mechanism and cause permanent damage to the sensor.

Figure 3-3. Avoid this Type of Installation for Steam Applications

Installation

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4004, Rev DC

Upstream/downstream piping

The vortex meter may be installed with a minimum of ten diameters (D) of straight pipe length upstream and five diameters (D) of straight pipe length downstream.

To achieve reference accuracy, straight pipe lengths of 35D upstream and 5D downstream are required. The value of the K-factor may shift up to 0.5% when the upstream straight pipe length is between 10D and 35D. Please see Technical Data Sheet (00816-0100-3250) on Installation Effects for optional K-factor corrections. This effect can be corrected for using the “Meter Factor” on page 53.

Pressure and temperature transmitter location

When using pressure and temperature transmitters in conjunction with the Rosemount 8800D for compensated mass flows, install the transmitter(s) downstream of the Vortex Flowmeter. See Figure 3-4.

Note

The MTA option can be purchased for an integral temperature measurement and mass flow temperature compensation for saturated steam and liquids.

3.2.3 Wetted material selection

Ensure that the process fluid is compatible with the meter body wetted materials when specifying the Rosemount 8800D. Corrosion will shorten the life of the meter body. Consult recognized sources of corrosion data or contact your Emerson Flow Sales Representative for more information.

Note

If Positive Material Identification (PMI) is required, perform test on a machined surface.

Installation

May 2016

3.2.4 Environmental considerations

Avoid excessive heat and vibration to ensure maximum flowmeter life. Typical problem areas include high-vibration lines with integrally mounted electronics, warm-climate installations in direct sunlight, and outdoor installations in cold climates.

Although the signal conditioning functions reduce susceptibility to extraneous noise, some environments are more suitable than others. Avoid placing the flowmeter or its wiring close to devices that produce high intensity electromagnetic and electrostatic fields. Such devices include electric welding equipment, large electric motors and transformers, and communication transmitters.

3.3 Hazardous locations

The Rosemount 8800D has an explosion-proof housing and circuitry suitable for intrinsically safe and non-incendive operation. Individual transmitters are clearly marked with a tag indicating the certifications they carry. See Appendix B: Product Certifications for specific approval categories.

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4004, Rev DC

3.4 Hardware configuration

The hardware jumpers on the Rosemount 8800D enable you to set the alarm and security. (See Figure 3-5.) To access the jumpers, remove the electronics housing cover from the electronics end (opposite of the terminal blocks) of the Rosemount 8800D. If your Rosemount 8800D includes an LCD option, the alarm and security jumpers are found on the face of the LCD indicator. (See Figure 3-6 on page 28.)

Note

If you will be changing configuration variables frequently, it may be useful to leave the security lockout jumper in the OFF position to avoid exposing the flowmeter electronics to the plant environment.

Set these jumpers during the commissioning stage to avoid exposing the electronics to the plant environment.

Installation

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4004, Rev DC

Figure 3-5. Alarm and Security Jumpers

Alarm

Installation

May 2016

As part of normal operations, the Rosemount 8800D continuously runs a self-diagnostic routine. If the routine detects an internal failure in the electronics, flowmeter output is driven to a low or high alarm level, depending on the position of the failure mode jumper.

The failure mode jumper is labeled ALARM and is set at the factory per the CDS (Configuration Data Sheet); the default setting is HI.

Security

You can protect the configuration data with the security lockout jumper. With the security lockout jumper ON, any configuration changes attempted on the electronics are disallowed. You can still access and review any of the operating parameters and scroll through the available parameters, but no actual changes will be permitted. The security lockout jumper is labeled SECURITY and is set at the factory per the CDS; the default setting is OFF.

3.4.1 Failure mode vs. saturation output values

The failure mode alarm output levels differ from the output values that occur when the operating flow is outside the range points. When the operating flow is outside the range points, the analog output continues to track the operating flow until reaching the saturation value listed below; the output does not exceed the listed saturation value regardless of the operating flow. For example, with standard alarm and saturation levels and flows outside the 4—20 mA range points, the output saturates at 3.9 mA or 20.8 mA. When the transmitter diagnostics detect a failure, the analog output is set to a specific alarm value that differs from the saturation value to allow for proper troubleshooting. The saturation and alarm levels are software selectable between Rosemount Standard and NAMUR levels.

3.5 Meter body installation tasks

The installation tasks include detailed mechanical and electrical installation procedures.

3.5.1 Handling

Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible, transport the system to the installation site in the original shipping containers. Keep the shipping plugs in the conduit connections until you are ready to connect and seal them.

Note

Do not lift the flowmeter by the transmitter. Lift the meter by the meter body. Lifting supports can be tied around the meter body as shown in Figure 3-7.

Installation

Installation

May 2016

3.5.2 Flow direction

Mount the meter body so the FORWARD end of the flow arrow, shown on the meter body, points in the direction of the flow in the pipe.

3.5.3 Gaskets

The Rosemount 8800D requires gaskets supplied by the user. Be sure to select gasket material that is compatible with the process fluid and pressure ratings of the specific installation.

Note

Ensure the inside diameter of the gasket is larger than the inside diameter of the flowmeter and adjacent piping. If gasket material extends into the flow stream, it will disturb the flow and cause inaccurate measurements.

3.5.4 Flange bolts

Install the Rosemount 8800D Flowmeter between two conventional pipe flanges, as shown in Figure 3-8 on page 32 and Figure 3-9 on page 32. Tab le 3 - 3, 3-4, and 3-5 list the recommended minimum stud bolt lengths for wafer-style meter body size and different flange ratings.

3.5.5 Wafer-style flowmeter alignment and mounting

Center the wafer-style meter body inside diameter with respect to the inside diameter of the adjoining upstream and downstream piping. This will ensure the flowmeter achieves its specified accuracy.

Alignment rings are provided with each wafer-style meter body for centering purposes. Follow these steps to align the meter body for installation. Refer to Figure 3-8 on page 32.

1. Place the alignment rings over each end of the meter body.

2. Insert the studs for the bottom side of the meter body between the pipe flanges.

3. Place the meter body (with alignment rings) between the flanges. Make sure the alignment rings are properly placed onto the studs. Align the studs with the markings on the ring that correspond to the flange you are using. If a spacer is used, see Spacers and Ta bl e 3 - 6 below.

Note

Be sure to align the flowmeter so the electronics are accessible, the conduits drain, and the flowmeter is not subject to direct heat.

Installation

May 2016

4. Place the remaining studs between the pipe flanges.

5. Tighten the nuts in the sequence shown in Figure 3-11 on page 35.

6. Check for leaks at the flanges after tightening the flange bolts.

Note

The required bolt load for sealing the gasket joint is affected by several factors, including operating pressure and 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.

Spacers

Spacers are available with the Rosemount 8800D to maintain the Rosemount 8800A dimensions. If a spacer is used, it should be downstream of the meter body. The spacer kit comes with an alignment ring for ease of installation. Gaskets should be placed on each side of the spacer.

3.5.6 Flanged-style flowmeter mounting

Physical mounting of a flanged-style flowmeter is similar to installing a typical section of pipe. Conventional tools, equipment, and accessories (such as bolts and gaskets) are required. Tighten the nuts following the sequence shown in Figure 3-11.

Note

Insert integral temperature sensor (MTA option only)

The MTA option equips the vortex meter with a Type N Thermocouple. The transmitter uses the process temperature measurement to compensate for changes in fluid density. Saturated steam mass flow rate, liquid mass flow, and corrected volumetric flow can all take advantage of the dynamic density corrections for increased accuracy.

Installation

May 2016

The temperature sensor is coiled and attached to the electronics bracket. Remove the Styrofoam around sensor and insert temperature sensor into the hole at the bottom of the meter body. There is no need to remove the opposite end from the electronics. Insert temperature sensor into the hole in the bottom of meter body until it reaches the bottom of the hole. Hold it in place and tighten bolt with turns past finger tight.

The meter body should be insulated to achieve stated temperature accuracy. Insulation should extend to the end of the bolt on the bottom of the meter body and should leave at least 1-in. (25 mm) of clearance around the electronics bracket. The electronics bracket and electronics housing should not be insulated. See Figure 3-10.

Do not loosen or remove the temperature connection at the electronics when the housing integrity needs to be maintained.

3.5.7 Flowmeter grounding

Grounding is not required in typical vortex applications; however, a proper ground will eliminate possible noise pickup by the electronics. Grounding straps may be used to ensure that the meter is grounded to the process piping. If you are using the transient protection option (T1), grounding straps are required to provide a proper low impedance ground.

Note

Properly ground flow meter body and transmitter per the local code.

To use grounding straps, secure one end of the grounding strap to the bolt extending from the side of the meter body and attach the other end of each grounding strap to a suitable ground.

3.6 Electronics considerations

Both integral and remote mounted electronics require input power at the electronics. For remote mount installations, mount the electronics against a flat surface or on a pipe that is up to two inches in diameter. Remote mounting hardware includes an L bracket that is stainless steel and one stainless steel u-bolt. See Appendix A: Specifications and Reference Data for dimensional information.

Installation

May 2016

3.6.1 High-temperature installations

Install the meter body so the electronics are positioned to the side of or below the pipe as shown in Figure 3-2 on page 24. Insulation may be required around the pipe to maintain an ambient transmitter temperature below 185 °F (85 °C) or the more restrictive temperature ratings marked on hazardous locations tags.

3.6.2 Conduit connections

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4004, Rev DC

The electronics housing has two ports for Unless marked otherwise conduit entries in the housing are made in a conventional manner in accordance with local or plant electrical codes. Be sure to properly seal unused ports to prevent moisture or other contamination from entering the terminal block compartment of the electronics housing. Additional conduit entry types are available via adapters.

Note

In some applications it may be necessary to install conduit seals and arrange for conduits to drain to prevent moisture from entering the wiring compartment. Conduit plugs should not be removed when circuit is live or in explosive atmosphere.

3.6.3 High-point 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.

If you are using cable glands instead of conduit, follow the cable gland manufacturer’s instructions for preparation and make the connections in a conventional manner in accordance with local or plant electrical codes. Be sure to properly seal unused ports to prevent moisture or other contamination from entering the terminal block compartment of the electronics housing.

3.6.5 Grounding the transmitter case

The transmitter case should always be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical codes. The most effective transmitter case grounding method is direct connection to earth ground with minimal impedance. Methods for grounding the transmitter case include:

 Internal Ground Connection: The Internal Ground Connection screw is inside the

FIELD TERMINALS side of the electronics housing. This screw is identified by a ground symbol ( ), and is standard on all Rosemount 8800D transmitters.

 External Ground Assembly: This assembly is located on the outside of the

electronics housing and is included with the optional transient protection terminal block (Option Code T1). The External Ground Assembly can also be ordered with the transmitter (Option Code V5) and is automatically included with certain hazardous area approvals.

Installation

May 2016

Note

Grounding the transmitter case using the threaded conduit connection may not provide a sufficient ground. The transient protection terminal block (Option Code T1) does not provide transient protection unless the transmitter case is properly grounded. See

“Transient protection” on page 46 for transient terminal block grounding. Use the above

guidelines to ground the transmitter case. Do not run the transient protection ground wire with signal wiring as the ground wire may carry excessive electric current if a lightning strike occurs.

3.6.6 Wiring procedure

The signal terminals are located in a compartment of the electronics housing separate from the flowmeter electronics. Connections for a HART-based communicator and an electric current test connection are above the signal terminals. Figure 3-13 on page 38 illustrates the power supply load limitations for the flowmeter.

Note

A power disconnect is required to remove power from the transmitter for maintenance, removal, and replacement.

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 wiring and the load resistance of the controller, indicator, and related pieces. Note that the resistance of intrinsic safety barriers, if used, must be included.

Analog output

The flowmeter provides a 4–20 mA dc isolated electric current output, linear with the flow rate.

To make connections, remove the FIELD TERMINALS side cover of the electronics housing. All power to the electronics is supplied over the 4–20 mA signal wiring. Connect the wires as shown in Figure 3-16 on page 41.

Reference Manual

50% Duty Cycle

00809-0100-4004, Rev DC

Note

Twisted pairs are required to minimize noise pickup in the 4–20 mA signal and digital communication signal. For high EMI/RFI environments, shielded signal wire is required and recommended in all other installations. To ensure communication, wiring should be 24 AWG or larger and not exceed 5,000 ft (1500 m).

Pulse output

Note

Remember when using the pulse output, all power to the electronics is still supplied over the 4–20 mA signal wiring.

The flowmeter provides an isolated transistor switch-closure frequency output signal proportional to flow, as shown in Figure 3-14 on page 39. The frequency limits are as follows:

 Maximum Frequency = 10000 Hz  Minimum Frequency = 0.0000035 Hz (1 pulse/79 hours)  Duty Cycle = 50%  External Supply Voltage (V  Load Resistance (R  Max Switching Current = 75 mA >= V  Switch Closure: Transistor, open collector

Note

When using pulse output, be sure to follow these precautions:

 Shielded twisted pair is required when the pulse output and 4–20 mA output are

run in the same conduit or cable trays. Shielded wire will also reduce false triggering caused by noise pickup. Wiring should be 24 AWG or larger and not exceed 5,000 ft. (1500 m).

 Do not connect the powered signal wiring to the test terminals. Power could

damage the test diode in the test connection.

 Do not run signal wiring in conduit or open trays with power wiring, or near heavy

electrical equipment. If needed, ground signal wiring at any one point on the signal loop, such as the negative terminal of the power supply. The electronics housing is grounded to the meter body.

 If the flowmeter is protected by the optional transient protector, you must provide

a high-current ground connection from the electronics housing to earth ground. Also, tighten the housing ground screw in the bottom of the terminal block to provide a good ground connection.

 Plug and seal all unused conduit connections on the electronics housing to avoid

moisture accumulation in the terminal side of the housing.

 If the connections are not sealed, mount the flowmeter with the conduit entry

positioned downward for drainage. Install wiring with a drip loop, making sure the bottom of the drip loop is lower than the conduit connections or the electronics housing.

Operation

May 2016

To trim the digital-to-analog output, initiate the Analog Trim function and connect an ammeter to the loop to measure the actual analog output of the meter. Follow the on-screen functions to complete the task.

4.1.5 Scaled Analog Trim

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4004, Rev DC

FastKeys

Calibrates the flowmeter analog output using a different scale than the standard 4-20 mA output scale. Non-scaled Analog Trim (described above), is typically performed using an ammeter where calibration values are entered in units of milliamperes. Both non-scaled Analog Trim and Scaled Analog Trim allow you to trim the 4-20 mA output to approximately ±5% of the nominal 4 mA end point and ±3% of the nominal 20 mA end point. Scaled Analog Trim allows you to trim the flowmeter using a scale that may be more convenient based upon your method of measurement.

For example, it may be more convenient for you to make electrical current measurements by direct voltage readings across the loop resistor. If your loop resistor is 500 Ohms, and you want to calibrate the meter using voltage measurements made across this resistor, you could rescale (select CHANGE on the Field Communicator) your trim points from 4-20 mA to 4-20 mA x 500 ohm or 2-10 VDC. Once your scaled trim points have been entered as 2 and 10, you can now calibrate your flowmeter by entering voltage measurements directly from the voltmeter.

3, 4, 3, 8

4.1.6 Shedding Frequency at URV

FastKeys

Gives the shedding frequency corresponding to the URV (Upper Range Value). If the Primary Variable (PV) is Process Temperature, the Shedding Frequency at URV represents the shedding frequency of the Volumetric Flow URV. This can be set by assigning Volumetric Flow to PV and setting range values.

3, 4, 2, 1, 3

4.2 Advanced functionality

4.2.1 Pulse Output

FastKeys

Can be configured using the configuration tool guided setups.

Note

Configuration of the pulse features is allowed even if the pulse option (Option P) was not ordered.

The Rosemount 8800D comes with an optional pulse output option (P). This enables the flowmeter to output the pulse rate to an external control system, totalizer, or other device. If the flowmeter was ordered with the pulse mode option, it may be configured for either pulse scaling (based on rate or unit) or shedding frequency output.

There are several methods for configuring the pulse output:

 Off

 Direct (Shedding Frequency)

 Scaled Volume

 Scaled Velocity

 Scaled Mass

2, 2, 4, 4, 2

 Scaled Corrected Volumetric

Note

In order to totalize in compensated mass flow, for units with the MTA option only, set pulse output to Scaled Mass even if the pulse output was not ordered or will not be used.

Direct (shedding)

This mode provides the vortex shedding frequency as output. In this mode, the software does not compensate the K-factor for effects such as thermal expansion or differing mating pipe inside diameters. Scaled pulse mode must be used to compensate the K-factor for thermal expansion and mating pipe effects.

Scaled volumetric

This mode allows for configuration of the pulse output based on a volumetric flow rate. For example, set 100 gallons per minute = 10,000 Hz. (The user enterable parameters are flow rate and frequency.)

Scaled corrected volumetric

This mode allows for configuration of the pulse output based on a corrected volumetric flow rate.

Operation

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4004, Rev DC

Scaled velocity

This mode allows for configuration of the pulse output based on a velocity flow rate.

Scaled mass

This mode allows for configuration of the pulse output based on based on a mass flow rate. If Process Fluid = Tcomp Sat Steam or Tcomp Liquid, this is a temperature compensated mass flow.

Pulse scaling based on flow rate

Allows the user to set a certain flow rate to a desired frequency.

For example:

1000 lbs/hr = 1000HZ

1. Enter a flow rate of 1000 lbs/hr.

2. Enter a frequency of 1000Hz.

Operation

May 2016

Pulse scaling based on flow unit

Allows the user to set one pulse equal to a desired mass, volume or distance.

For example:

1 pulse = 1000lbs.

Enter 1000 for the mass.

Pulse Loop Test

FastKeys

Fixed frequency mode test that checks the integrity of the pulse loop. It tests that all connections are good and that pulse output is running on the loop.

Note

The Pulse Loop Test will not check for valid pulse scaling configuration. It will set a frequency without consideration of the pulse scaling configuration.

4.2.2 Temperature Compensation

When the vortex meter is ordered with the MTA option, the transmitter is capable of dynamically compensating for changes in fluid density to provide accurate mass and corrected volumetric flow measurement. Temperature Compensation is for use with the Temperature Compensated Steam (TComp Sat Steam) or Temperature Compensated Liquids (TComp Liquid) fluid types.

To compensate for changes in saturated steam, select the Temperature Compensated Steam (TComp Sat Steam) fluid type. Choosing this fluid type automatically enables dynamic density compensation while measuring mass flow or corrected volumetric flow by using the built-in steam tables.

2, 2, 1, 1, 3

Temperature Compensated Liquids

FastKeys

Setting the Process Fluid Type to Temperature Compensated Liquids (Tcomp Liquid) directs the transmitter to dynamically compensate for changes in process density using either the built-in water density calculations per IAPWS-IF97 or the user defined temperature and density points.

4.2.3 SMART Fluid Diagnostic

Operation

May 2016

FastKeys

Due to unpredictable flow conditions and multiple potential failure modes in a process piping system, the SMART Fluid Diagnostic should not be used as a fail-safe alert when the transition from liquid to gas represents a safety hazard.

Alerts users when the fluid flow changes from liquid flow to gas flow. This is useful in oil and gas separator applications where stuck dump valves may allow gas to pass through the water leg and eventually into storage tanks. The diagnostic will alert users when gas begins flowing through the water leg. Additionally, the diagnostic can be used in blow down cycles where air, nitrogen, or steam are used to clear pipes. Once the liquid has been cleared, the meter will detect gas flow and the user can use that alert to properly time blow down cycles.

The SMART Fluid Diagnostic uses several application specific parameters to allow users to fine-tune functionality to their installation. Additionally, the diagnostic is available as a trial for 30 days on all equipped transmitters.

Control

FastKeys

2, 2, 6, 2, 1

Enables user to turn the SMART Fluid Diagnostic Functionality ON or OFF. Default is OFF unless configured for SMART Fluid Diagnostic from the factory.

Alarm Type

FastKeys

Enables user to select the alarm type. The alarm types are Analog, Pulse, Analog and Pulse, and Neither Analog or Pulse. This is the output that the transmitter will use to send the alarm when the meter detects a change from liquid to gas flow. In order to use the pulse output alarm, the transmitter must be equipped with the pulse output option. The default setting is Neither Analog or Pulse.

2, 2, 6, 2, 2

Analog Alarm

FastKeys

If the output type selected includes Analog, then the output level chosen here will be used for the alarm. The valid range is 3.5–22.65 mA. Default is 21.75 mA.

Alarm Latch

FastKeys

Dictates the behavior of the alarm once gas flow is detected. If Alarm Latch is Enabled, the alarm will continue until the user resets the alarm manually (using a HART communication device such as AMS Device Manager, or handheld communicator). When Disabled, the alarm will stop once liquid flow is detected by the transmitter, at which time the meter will continue normal operation. The default is Disabled.

2, 2, 6, 2, 5

Optimize Gas Detection Filters

FastKeys

Once the gas density has been determined, optimize the gas detection filters. This consists of two parts. The first is setting the gas density and second is setting the gas detection window.

The gas density value must be selected from a list of densities. This will be used to set the detection filters for the gas flow. Choose the value from the drop down that is the closest to the process gas density without exceeding it. Default value is 0.15 lb/cu ft. After filter optimization, it is best practice to verify that your gas detection low flow cutoff is above your highest expected liquid flow rate frequency.

The Gas Detection Window specifies how long the meter will look for a gas flow event after the meter stops detecting liquid flow. Under typical conditions, the transition takes place quickly; however, if the transition is slow, then a longer window may be required. The acceptable range of values is 1 to 9 seconds and the default value is 1 second.

4.2.4 Communications

Operation

May 2016

FastKeys

2, 2, HART

Multidrop configuration refers to the connection of several flowmeters to a single communications transmission line. Communication occurs digitally between a HART-based communicator or control system and the flowmeters. Multidrop mode automatically deactivates the analog output of the flowmeters. Using the HART communications protocol, up to 15 transmitters can be connected on a single twisted pair of wires or over leased phone lines.

The use of a multidrop installation requires consideration of the update rate necessary from each transmitter, the combination of transmitter models, and the length of the transmission line. Multidrop installations are not recommended where intrinsic safety is a requirement. Communication with the transmitters can be accomplished with commercially available Bell 202 modems and a host implementing the HART protocol. Each transmitter is identified by a unique address (1-15) and responds to the commands defined in the HART protocol.

Figure 4-1 on page 59 shows a typical multidrop network. This figure is not intended as an

installation diagram. Contact Rosemount product support with specific requirements for multidrop applications.

Note

The Rosemount 8800D is set to poll address zero at the factory, allowing it to operate in the standard point-to-point manner with a 4–20 mA output signal. To activate multidrop communication, the transmitter poll address must be changed to a number between 1 and

15. This change deactivates the 4–20 mA analog output, setting it to 4 mA, and disables the failure mode alert signal.

Operation

Poll address

FastKeys

Enables configuration of the poll address for a multi-dropped meter. The poll address is used to identify each meter on the multi-drop line. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the address at a number from 1 to 15. HART 7 allows an address range of 0 to 63. To set or change the flowmeter address, establish communication with the selected Rosemount 8800D in the loop.

Auto poll

FastKeys

When a HART-based communicator is powered up and auto polling is on, the communicator automatically polls the flowmeter addresses to which it is connected. If the address is 0, the HART-based communicator enters its normal Online mode. If it detects an address other than 0, the communicator finds each device in the loop and lists them by poll address and tag. Scroll through the list and select the meter with which you need to communicate.

If Auto Poll is off, the flowmeter must have the poll address set to 0 or the flowmeter will not be found. Additionally, if a single connected device has an address other than zero and auto polling is off, the device will not be found.

4.2.5 Burst Mode

FastKeys

OFF LINE FCN

2, 2, HART, 3

Burst Mode configuration

The Rosemount 8800D includes a burst mode function that broadcasts the primary variable or all dynamic variables approximately three to four times a second. The Burst Mode is a specialized function used in very specific applications. The burst mode function enables you to select the variables to broadcast while in the burst mode and to select the burst mode option. HART 7 devices offer enhanced burst mode capabilities including the ability to broadcast variable status, the ability to broadcast up to 8 variables, and the ability to trigger messages based on variable events or at defined values.

The Burst Mode variable enables you to set the burst mode to the needs of your application. Options for the burst mode setting include:

Off—Turns off the burst mode so that no data are broadcast on the loop.

On—Turns burst mode on so that the data selected under Burst Option are broadcast over the loop.

Additional command options may appear that are reserved and do not apply to the Rosemount 8800D.

4.2.7 Signal Processing

FastKeys

The Rosemount 8800D and its HART-based communications feature enables the ability to filter out noise and other frequencies from the vortex signal. The four user-alterable parameters associated with the digital signal processing on the Rosemount 8800D include low-pass filter corner frequency, low-flow cutoff, trigger level, and damping. These four signal conditioning functions are configured at the factory for optimum filtering over the range of flow for a given line size, service type (liquid or gas), and process density. For most applications, leave these parameters at the factory settings. Some applications may require adjustment of the signal processing parameters.

Use signal processing only when recommended in the troubleshooting section of this manual. Some of the problems that may require signal processing include:

 High output (output saturation)

 Erratic output with or without flow present

 Incorrect output (with known flow rate)

 No output or low output with flow present

 Low total (missing pulses)

 High total (extra pulses)

If one or more of these conditions exist, and you have checked other potential sources (K-factor, service type, lower and upper range values, 4–20 mA trim, pulse scaling factor, process temperature, pipe ID), refer to Section 5: Troubleshooting. If problems persist after signal processing adjustments, consult the factory.

Optimize DSP (Digital Signal Processing

FastKeys

2, 2, 5, 5, 1

Used to optimize the range of the flowmeter based on the density of the fluid. The electronics uses process density to calculate the minimum measurable flow rate, while retaining at least a 4:1 signal to the trigger level ratio. This function will also reset all of the filters to optimize the flowmeter performance over the new range. For a stronger signal, select a density value that is lower than the actual flowing density. For dynamic process densities, select a density value that is lower than the lowest expected flowing density.

Signal Strength

FastKeys

Variable that indicates the flow signal strength to trigger level ratio. This ratio indicates if there is enough flow signal strength for the meter to work properly. For accurate flow measurement, the value should be greater than 4. Values greater than 4 will allow increased filtering for noisy applications. For values greater than 4, with sufficient density, the Optimize DSP function can be utilized to optimize the measurable range of the flowmeter.

Values less than 4 may indicate applications with very low densities and/or applications with excessive filtering.

Low Flow Cutoff

Operation

May 2016

FastKeys

2, 2, 5, 2, 2

Enables the adjustment of the filter for noise at no flow. It is set at the factory to handle most applications, but certain applications may require adjustment either to expand measurability or to reduce noise.

Low Flow Cutoff offers two modes for adjustment:

 Decrease Low Flow Cutoff

 Increase Low Flow Cutoff

It also includes a dead band such that once flow goes below the cutoff value, output does not return to the normal flow range until flow goes above the dead band. The dead band extends to approximately 20 percent above the low flow cutoff value. The dead band prevents the output from bouncing between 4 mA and normal flow range if the flow rate is near the low flow cutoff value.

LFC Response

FastKeys

Defines how the output of the Vortex meter will behave entering into and coming out of the Low Flow Cutoff. Options are stepped or damped. (See Technical Note 00840-0200-4004

for more information regarding Low Flow Measurement).

The electronics is capable of internally generating a flow signal that may be used to simulate a sensor signal to perform electronics verification with a handheld communicator or AMS

Device Manager interface. The simulated signal amplitude is based on the transmitter required minimum process density. The signal being simulated can be one of several profiles – a simulated signal of constant frequency or a simulated signal representative of a ramping flow rate. The electronics verification procedure is described in detail in

Appendix C: Electronics Verification. To verify the electronics, you can input a frequency on

the “TEST FREQ IN” and “GROUND” pins to simulate flow via an external signal source such as a frequency generator. To analyze and/or troubleshoot the electronics, an oscilloscope (set for AC coupling) and a handheld communicator or AMS Device Manager interface are required. Figure 5-2 is a block diagram of the signal as it flows from the sensor to the microprocessor in the electronics.

11. Lift the sensor from the sensor cavity. Be very careful to lift the sensor straight up. Do not rock, twist, or tilt the sensor during removal; this will damage the engagement diaphragm.

12. If Critical Process (CPA option) is present, tighten the valve to insure it is closed after the new Vortex sensor is installed. It is recommended that the nut be torqued to 50 in-lbs (5.7 N-m). Over tightening the valve nut could compromise its ability to seal.

Cleaning the sealing surface

Before installing a sensor in the meter body, clean the sealing surface by completing the following procedure. The metal o-ring on the sensor is used to seal the sensor cavity in the event that process fluid should corrode through the meter body and enter the sensor cavity. Be sure not to scratch or otherwise damage any part of the sensor, sensor cavity, or sensor nut threads. Damage to these parts may require replacement of the sensor or meter body, or may render the flowmeter dangerous.

Note

If you are installing a sensor that has been used before, clean the metal o-ring on the sensor using the procedure below. If you are installing a newly purchased sensor, cleaning the o-ring is not necessary.

1. Use a suction or compressed air device to remove any loose particles from the sealing surface and other adjacent areas in the sensor cavity. See Figure 5-9.

Note

Do not scratch or deform any part of the sensor, sensor cavity, or sensor nut threads.

2. Carefully brush the sealing surface clean with a soft bristle brush.

3. Moisten a cotton swab with an appropriate cleaning liquid.

4. Wipe the sealing surface. Repeat several times if necessary with a clean cotton swab until there is minimal dirt residue picked up by the cotton swab.
