2Installation and commissioning
Use this chapter to install and commission the Rosemount 8800D Series SIL 2/3 Capable
Vortex Flowmeter. The safety certified output of the Rosemount 8800D is the 4–20 mA
output. This output provides a signal proportional to process flow, between low flow
cutoff and the Upper Range Value (URV). Detected faults are indicated by an offscale
output (see Set failure mode). The safety logic solver should be configured to detect
offscale output levels. While the pulse output may be used, it is not a safety certified
output. Devices ordered without SI option may not be certified per IEC 61508.

Safety precautions
Prior to making any changes to the flowmeter,such as changing the configuration or
replacing the transmitter hardware or sensor:
• Take appropriate action to avoid a false trip by electronically bypassing the safety logic
solver.
• Prior to placing the meter online and removing the bypass from the safety logic solver,
verify the transmitter configuration and all safety parameters per Set up the flowmeter.
Important
Ensure alternate means are in place to maintain the process in a safe state.
2.2Set up the flowmeter
123
Use the following procedure to make sure the flowmeter is installed and configured for SIS
applications.
You can use ProLinkIII software, AMS Device Manager,or the Field Communicator to verify,
or configure these settings. For more information, see the product reference manual.
The flowmeter does not require special installation other than the standard installation
procedures in the reference manual.
Safety Manual 11
Installation and commissioningSafety Manual
August 202000809-0200-4004
Note
Transmitter output is not safety-rated during the following: Configuration changes, loop
test mode, simulation mode, multidrop operation, temperature compensation of the
process fluid, SMART fluid diagnostics, saturated steam or mass flow with temperature
and/or pressure compensation. Alternative means should be used to ensure process safety
during configuration and maintenance activities.
1. Verify that the software revision running is one of the revisions listed in Table 2-2.
ProLink III SoftwareDevice Tools→Device Information→Software Revision
2. Verify all safety parameters.
a. Verify that all appropriate flow calibration parameters are set (Reference K-
Factor, Process Fluid, Fixed Process Temperature, Fixed Process Density).
b. Verify that the Lower Range Value (LRV) and the Upper Range Value (URV)
for the 4-20 mA output is configured
2.3Enable transmitter write protection
Write-protection helps protect the transmitter against accidental changes to
configuration. When the transmitter is write-protected, no changes to the transmitter
configuration will be accepted.
Tip
Write protecting the transmitter prevents accidental changes to configuration. It does not
prevent normal operational use. You can always disable write protection, perform any
required configuration changes, then re-enable write protection.
The SECURITY jumper enables write protection.
• If the jumper is in the ON position, write protection is enabled.
• If the jumper is in the OFF position, write protection is disabled.
1. If you are in a hazardous area, power down the transmitter.
2.WARNING
Never remove the transmitter housing cover in a hazardous area when the
transmitter is powered up. Failure to follow these instructions may result in an
explosion.
Remove the transmitter housing cover (opposite of the terminal block).
3. Move the two-pin SECURITY jumper to the ON position.
The location of the security switch depends upon whether or not the transmitter
has the (M5) optional display.

4. Replace the transmitter housing cover.
5. Power up the transmitter.
2.4Set failure mode
As part of normal operations, the flowmeter continuously runs a self-diagnostic routine. If
the routine detects an internal failure, the failure mode setting determines whether the
flowmeter output is driven to a low or high alarm level.
The failure mode setting is controlled by the ALARM jumper, which is set at the factory per
the CDS (Configuration Data Sheet); the default setting is HI.
• If the ALARM jumper is in the HI position, the flowmeter output will be driven to a high
alarm level in the event of a failure.
• If the ALARM jumper is in the LOW position, the flowmeter output will be driven to a
low alarm level in the event of a failure.

2.5Flow simulation diagnostic
Performing an internal flow simulation ensures the current calibration state of the
transmitter by carrying out a verification of the electronics board stack to indicate the
health of the various components on the board stack. Failure may indicate a need to
replace the electronics. Every transmitter comes with internal flow simulation capabilities.
Note
For the Flow Simulation Function to operate, Primary Variable must be set to Velocity
Flow, Volume Flow, or Mass Flow and the write protection must be disabled (see Enable
transmitter write protection).
1. Ensure that the write protection is disabled (see Enable transmitter write
protection).
2. Read the calculated Shedding Frequency at URV.
ProLink III Software
3. Navigate to Flow Simulation.
ProLink III Software
4. Select Internal Flow Simulation, Fixed Flow, Percent of Range and enter 50%
flow.
5. Verify that flow rate output is 50% of full scale and Frequency is 1/2 of calculated
Frequency at URV.
a. If the flow rate output is 50% of full scale, the electronics are working
properly.
b. If the flow rate output is not 50% of full scale, see the troubleshooting
information in the product reference manual.
Note
(Optional): Verify shedding frequency from internal signal generator is the same as
displayed on handheld communicator, Prolink III, or AMS Device Manager. This can
be accomplished by connecting a device such as a Fluke multi-meter with frequency
measurement capability to the test points behind the display labeled "TP1" and
Ground (using the universal ground symbol). Connect the positive lead of the
digital multi-meter to TP1 and the negative lead to the Ground lug. The frequencies
should match to a plant specified tolerance that is no less than the tolerance of the
device used to read the frequency.
• If the shedding frequency is 50% of full scale, the electronics are working
properly.
Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement →
Signal Processing
• If the shedding frequency is not 50% of full scale, see the troubleshooting
information in the product reference manual.
6. Exit simulation by selecting Normal Flow Measurement or Exit.
7. Enable write protection (see Enable transmitter write protection).

Proof tests
3Proof tests
3.1Proof test requirement
During operation, an SIF must be proof tested. The objective of proof testing is to detect
failures within the equipment in the SIF that are not detected by any automatic
diagnostics of the system. Undetected failures that prevent the SIF from performing its
function are the main concern.
Periodic proof tests shall take place at the frequency (or interval) defined by the SIL
verification calculation. The proof-tests must be performed more frequently than or as
frequently as specified in the SIL verification calculation in order to maintain the required
safety integrity of the overall SIF.
Results from periodic proof tests shall be recorded and periodically reviewed.
3.2Repair and replacement
Repair procedures in the product reference manual must be followed.
3.3Notification of failures
In case of malfunction of the system or SIF, the Rosemount 8800D Series SIL 2/3 Capable
Vortex Flowmeter shall be put out of operation and the process shall be kept in a safe state
by other measures.
Emerson must be informed when the Rosemount 8800D Series SIL 2/3 Capable Vortex
Flowmeter is required to be replaced due to failure. The occurred failure shall be
documented and reported to Emerson using the contact details on the back page of this
functional safety manual. This is an important part of Emerson SIS management process.
3.4Proof test interval
The time intervals for proof testing are defined by the SIL verification calculation (subject
to the PFDAVG). The proof tests must be performed more frequently than or as frequently
as specified in the SIL verification calculation in order to maintain the required safety
integrity of the overall SIF.
Results from periodic proof tests shall be recorded and periodically reviewed. For the
specification of customer requirements required to fulfil this SIS requirement, please see
IEC-61511.

4.2Reliability data
The Rosemount 8800D Series SIL 2/3 Capable Vortex Flowmeter:
• Has a specified safety deviation of 2%. Internal component failures are listed in the
device failure rate if they will cause an on-scale error of 2% or greater.
• Reports an internal failure within 30 minutes of fault occurrence – worst case scenario.
• Generates a valid signal within 6 seconds plus configured damping response of a
power-on startup.
FMEDA report
The Failure Mode, Effects, and Diagnostics Analysis (FMEDA) report is used to calculate the
failure rate. A FMEDA report for a Vortex Flow Meter with a Rosemount 8800D transmitter
contains:
• All failure rates and failure modes
• Common cause factors for applications with redundant devices that should be included
in reliability calculations
• The expected lifetime of your flowmeter and transmitter, as the reliability calculations
are valid only for the lifetime of the equipment
Obtain a FMEDA report at www.emerson.com/vortex.
Environmental and application limits
See the product data sheet for environmental and application limits.
Using the flowmeter or transmitter outside environmental or application limits invalidates
the reliability data in the FMEDA report.
