1.3 System description
The Rosemount 8600D Vortex Flowmeter consists of a meter body and transmitter and
measures volumetric flow rate by detecting the vortices created by a fluid passing by the
shedder bar.
The meter body is installed in-line with process piping. A sensor is located at the end of the
shredder bar and creates an alternating sine wave due to the passing vortices. The
transmitter measures the frequency of the sine waves and converts it into a flowrate.
This manual is designed to assist in the installation and operation of the Rosemount 8600D
Vortex Flowmeter.

This product is intended to be used as a flowmeter for liquid, gas, or
steam applications. Any use other than for which it was intended may
result in serious injury or death.
2.1 Review
Configuration
00809-0100-4860, Rev BF
FastKeys
Review the flowmeter configuration parameters set at the factory to ensure accuracy and
compatibility with your particular application of the flowmeter. Once you have activated
the Review function, scroll through the data list to check each variable in the configuration
data list.
The last step of start-up and commissioning is to check the flowmeter output to ensure that
the flowmeter is operating properly. Rosemount 8600D digital process variables include:
primary variable, primary variable as a percent of range, analog output, vortex shedding
rate, pulse frequency, mass flow, volumetric flow, velocity flow, totalizer, electronics
temperature, calculated process density, cold junction temperature, and process
temperature.

2.2 Process variables
FastKeys
The process variables for the Rosemount 8600D provide the flowmeter output. When
commissioning a flowmeter, review each process variable, its function and output, and take
corrective action if necessary before using the flowmeter in a process application.

2.2.1 Primary Variable (PV)
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4860, Rev BF
FastKeys
The measured value of the variable mapped to the primary variable. This can be either
Process Temperature (MTA option only) or Flow. Flow variables are available as mass,
volume, or velocity. When bench commissioning, the flow values for each variable should
be zero and the temperature value should be the ambient temperature.
If the units for the flow or temperature variables are not correct, refer to “View other
variables” on page 4. Use the Process Variable Units function to select the units for your
application.
2.2.2 PV% of range
FastKeys
The primary variable as a percentage of range provides a gauge as to where the current
measurement 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 current flow is 10 gal/min, the
percent of range is 50 percent.
2.2.3 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 D/A Trim (Digital-to-Analog Trim).

Special units
FastKeys
1, 1, 4, 1, 3
Special Units allows you to create flow rate units that are not among the standard options.
They can be volumetric only. Configuration of a special unit involves entry of these values:
base volume unit, base time unit, user defined unit and conversion number. Suppose you
want the Rosemount 8600D to display flow in barrels per minute instead of gallons per
minute, and one barrel is equal to 31.0 gallons.
Base volume unit: gal
Base time unit: min
User defined unit: br
Conversion number:

See the specific variables listed below for more information on setting special units.

Density/Density ratio
FastKeys
When configuring a meter for mass flow units, a density value needs to be entered. When
configuring a meter for Standard and Normal Volumetric flow units a density ratio will be
required.
1, 3, 2, 4
Density ratio
FastKeys
Configure the Density Ratio in one of two ways:
1. Enter Density Ratio to convert from actual flow rate to standard flow rate.
2. Enter the process and base conditions. (The Rosemount 8600D electronics will then calculate the density ratio for you).
Note
Be careful to calculate and enter the correct conversion factor. Standard flow is calculated
with the conversion factor you enter. Any error in the factor entered will result in an error in
the standard flow measurement. If pressure and temperature changes over time, use actual
volumetric flow units. The Rosemount 8600D does not compensate for changing
temperature and pressure.
Note
Changing the base process conditions will modify the density ratio. Likewise a change to
the density ratio will lead to a change in the base process pressure (Pf).

Fixed process density
FastKeys
1, 3, 2, 4, 2
Process Density is required only if you have designated mass units for your flow rate units.
You will first be prompted for density units. It is required for the conversion from volumetric
units to mass units. For example, if you have set flow units to kg/sec rather than gal/sec, a
density is required to convert the measured volumetric flow into the desired mass flow. The
Fixed Process Density must be entered even in temperature compensated Saturated Steam
applications as this value is used to determine flow sensor limits in Mass Flow Units.
Note
If mass 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 is calculated using this
user-entered density, and any error in this number will cause error in the mass flow
measurement. If fluid density is changing over time, it is recommended that volumetric
flow units be used.
2.3.3 Reference K-factor
FastKeys
The reference K-factor is a factory calibration number relating the flow through the meter
to the shedding frequency measured by the electronics. Every Rosemount 8600 meter

2.3.8 Range values
FastKeys
Range Values enables you to maximize resolution of analog output. The meter is most
accurate when operated within the expected flow ranges for your application. Setting the
range to the limits of expected readings will maximize flowmeter performance.
The range of expected readings is defined by the Lower Range Value (LRV) and Upper Range
Value (URV). Set the LRV and URV within the limits of flowmeter operation as defined by the
line size and process material for your application. Values set outside that range will not be
accepted.

This is the 4 mA set point for the meter, and is typically set to 0 when the PV is a Flow

2.3.9 PV damping
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 Variable, Percent of Range, and Vortex Frequency. This will not affect the Pulse
Output, Total, or other Digital Information.
The default damping value is 2.0 seconds. This can be reset 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.

The Auto Adjust Filter is 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

a stronger signal select a density value that is lower than the actual flowing density.

3.1 Safety messages
Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to ensure the
safety of the personnel performing the operations. Refer to the following safety messages
before performing any operation in this section.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Do not remove the transmitter cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is
alive.
Before connecting a HART-based communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make
sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or
non-incendive field wiring practices.
Verify the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate
hazardous locations certifications.
Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof
requirements.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
