3.6.8 Calibration
Rosemount 8600D Flowmeters are wet-calibrated at the factory and need no further
calibration during installation. The calibration factor (K-factor) is indicated on each meter
body and is entered into the electronics. Verification can be accomplished with a Field
Communicator or AMS.
3.7 Software configuration
To complete the installation of the Rosemount 8600D Vortex Flowmeter, configure the
software to meet the requirements of your application. If the flowmeter was
pre-configured at the factory, it may be ready to install. If not, refer to Section 2:
Configuration.
LCD indicator
The LCD indicator (option M5) provides local indication of the output and abbreviated
diagnostic messages governing operation of the flowmeter. The indicator is located on the
electronics side of the flowmeter electronics. An extended cover is required to
accommodate the indicator. Figure 3-17 shows the flowmeter fitted with the LCD indicator
and extended cover.
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.
