Operation
Density test calc
Allows for the test of the density calculation for saturated steam. The vortex meter will calculate
the associated steam density at a user entered temperature value. Process Fluid must be set to
Tcomp Sat Steam in order to run this test.
Min/Max electronics temperatures
Allows the user to view the minimum and maximum temperatures that the electronics have
been exposed to.
Min electronics temp
Displays the lowest temperature that the electronics have been exposed to.
Max electronics temp
Displays the highest temperature that the electronics have been exposed to.
Self test
Although the Rosemount 8600D performs continuous self-diagnostics, you can initiate an
immediate diagnostic to check for possible electronics failure.
Self Test checks proper communications with the transmitter and provides diagnostic
capabilities for transmitter problems. Follow on-screen instructions if problems are detected, or
check the appropriate appendix for error messages relating to your transmitter.
Reset transmitter
Restarts the transmitter - same as cycling power.
4.1.2 Loop test
Loop Test verifies the output of the flowmeter, the integrity of the loop, and the operation of any
recorders or similar devices. Conduct the loop test after the flowmeter is installed in the field.
If the meter is located in a loop with a control system, the loop will have to be set to manual
control before the loop test is performed.
Loop Test allows the device to be set to any output between the Low Alarm and High Alarm.
