REVIEW 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 8800D 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.
PROCESS VARIABLES The process variables for the Rosemount 8800D 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.
Primary Variable (PV) PV – 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 3-2. Use the Process Variable Units function
to select the units for your application.
