4.1Planning
4.1.1Sizing
To determine the correct meter size for optimal flow meter performance:
• Determine the limits of measuring flow.
• Determine the process conditions so that they are within the stated
requirements for Reynolds number and velocity.
Sizing calculations are required to select the proper flow meter size. These
calculations provide pressure loss, accuracy, and minimum and maximum
flow rate data to guide in proper selection. Vortex sizing software can be
found using the Selection and Sizing tool. The Selection and Sizing tool can
be accessed online or downloaded for offline use using this link:
www.Emerson.com/FlowSizing.
4.1.2Wetted 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 Emerson Flow Sales Representative for more information.
Note
If Positive Material Identification (PMI) is required, perform test on a
machined surface.
4.1.3Orientation
The best orientation for the meter depends on the process fluid,
environmental factors, and any other nearby equipment.
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 meter can be mounted in the vertical down position when measuring
gas or steam flows. This type of application is strongly discouraged for liquid
flows, although it can be done with proper piping design.

B. Gas flow
Note
To ensure the meter body remains full, avoid downward vertical liquid flows
where back pressure is inadequate.
Horizontal installation
For horizontal installation, the preferred orientation is to have the
electronics installed to the side of the pipe. In liquid applications, this helps
prevent any entrained air or solids from striking the shedder bar and
disrupting the shedding frequency. In gas or steam applications, this helps
prevent any entrained liquid (such as condensate) or solids from striking the
shedder bar and disrupting the shedding frequency.

High-temperature installations
The maximum process temperature for integral electronics is dependent on
the ambient temperature where the meter is installed. The electronics must
not exceed 185 °F (85 °C).
Figure 4-3 shows combinations of ambient and process temperatures
needed to maintain a housing temperature of less than 185 °F (85 °C).

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.
Install the meter body so the electronics are positioned to the side of the
pipe or below the pipe as shown in Figure 4-4. Insulation may also be
required around the pipe to maintain an electronics temperature below
185 °F (85 °C). See Figure 5-2 for special insulation considerations.

4.1.4Location
Hazardous area
The transmitter 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. For
hazardous location installation, including Explosion-proof, Flameproof,or
Intrinsic Safety (I.S.), please consult the Emerson 8800 Approval Document
00825-VA00-0001.
Environmental considerations
Avoid excessive heat and vibration to ensure maximum flow meter 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 flow meter 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.
Upstream and downstream piping
The 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.
Quick Start Guide 11
Quick Start Guide September 2021
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. For
optional K-factor corrections, see Rosemount™ 8800 Vortex Installation Effects
Technical Data Sheet.
Steam piping
For steam applications, avoid installations such as the one shown in the
following figure. Such installations may cause a water-hammer condition at
start-up due to trapped condensation. The high force from the water
hammer can stress the sensing mechanism and cause permanent damage to
the sensor.
Figure 4-5: Wrong steam pipe installation
Pressure and temperature transmitter location
When using pressure and temperature transmitters in conjunction with the
vortex flow meter for compensated mass flows, install the transmitter(s)
downstream of the vortex flow meter.

4.1.5Power supply
The transmitter requires 10 to 30 VDC. The maximum power consumption is
0.4 W.
4.2Commissioning
For proper configuration and operation, commission the meter before
putting it into operation. Bench commissioning 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 a
configuration device to the signal loop in accordance the device
instructions.
4.2.1Alarm and security jumper configuration
Two jumpers on the transmitter specify the alarm and security modes. Set
these jumpers during the commissioning stage to avoid exposing the
electronics to the plant environment. The two jumpers can be found on the
electronics board stack or on the LCD display.
Alarm
Security
Quick Start Guide 13
The jumper setting for Alarm has no effect when the HART
address is set to 1, which is the required setting for the
transmitter when configured for use on a Modbus network.
You can protect the configuration data with the security lockout
jumper. With the security lockout jumper ON, any configuration
Quick Start Guide September 2021
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 changes can be made.
The factory sets the jumper according to the Configuration Data
Sheet, if applicable, or OFF by default.
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 flow meter electronics to the plant
environment.
To access the jumpers, remove the transmitter electronics housing or the
LCD cover (if equipped) opposite of the terminal block, See Figure 4-7 and
Figure 4-8.
