2.8.1 Installing the Transient Protector
For flowmeters ordered with the transient protector option (T1), the protector is shipped
installed. When purchased separately from the Rosemount 8600D, you must install the
protector on a Rosemount 8600D flowmeter using a small instrument screwdriver, a pliers, and
the transient protection kit.
The transient protection kit includes the following:
One transient protection terminal block assembly
Three captive screws
Use the following steps to install the transient protector:
1. If the flowmeter is installed in a loop, secure the loop and disconnect power.
2. Remove the field terminal side flowmeter cover.
3. Remove the captive screws.
4. Remove the housing ground screw.
5. Use pliers to pull the terminal block out of the housing.
6. Inspect the connector pins for straightness.
7. Place the new terminal block in position and carefully press it into place. The terminal
block may have to be moved back and forth to get the connector pins started into the
sockets.
8. Tighten the captive screws.
9. Install and tighten the ground screw.
10. Replace the cover.
