Section 3: Configuration

Configuration
T/C failure mode
Allows the user to configure the temperature sensor failure mode. In the event that the
thermocouple sensor fails, the vortex can go either into an alarm output mode, or continue to
operate normally using the Fixed Process Temperature value. See Fixed Process Temperature
page 38. This mode is only relevant with the MTA option.
Note
If the Primary Variable is set to Process Temperature and there is an error, the output will always
go to alarm and this setting will be ignored.
Cold Junction (CJ) temperature
Allows users to view the thermocouple cold junction temperature value when the vortex has the
temperature sensor option. Also allows the user to configure the CJ temperature units.
CJ temperature
Displays the current thermocouple cold junction temperature value.
CJ temperature units
Allows the user to configure the units for the thermocouple cold junction temperature from the
available list.
3.2.5 Basic setup
The Rosemount 8600D must be configured for certain basic variables in order to be operational. In
most cases, all of these variables are pre-configured at the factory. Configuration may be required if
your Rosemount 8600D is not configured or if the configuration variables need revision.
