1 About this guide
This guide provides basic guidelines for the Rosemount™ 8600D Series
Vortex Flowmeter. It does not provide instructions for detailed configuration,
diagnostics, maintenance, service, troubleshooting, Explosion-proof,
Flameproof, or Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) installations. Refer to the reference
manual for more instruction. The manuals and this quick start guide are also
available electronically on EmersonProcess.com/Rosemount.
WARNING!
Explosions could result in death or serious injury.
Installation of this transmitter in an explosive environment must be in
accordance with the appropriate local, national, and international standards,
codes, and practices. Review the approvals section of thereference manual
for any restrictions associated with a safe installation.
•Before connecting a handheld 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 flowmeter is consistent with the
appropriate product certifications.
•In an Explosion-proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the
flowmeter covers when power is applied to the unit. Electrical shock can
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING!
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury.
•Avoid contact with the leads and terminals. High voltage that may be
present on leads can cause electrical shock.
1.1 Return policy
Emerson procedures must be followed when returning equipment. These
procedures ensure legal compliance with government transportation
agencies and help provide a safe working environment for Emerson
employees. Failure to follow Emerson procedures will result in your
equipment being refused delivery.

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:
B
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).

Note
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.
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 water-
hammer 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.
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.

B. Gaskets (supplied by customer)
C. Flow direction
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.
2.2 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.
Refer to Figure 2-7 and these steps to connect the loose end of the coaxial
cable to the electronics housing.

conduit routing.

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.
