Operation
Temperature damping
The default damping value is 2.0 seconds. Temperature Damping can be reset to any value
between 0.4 and 32 seconds.
LFC response
Defines how the output of the Vortex meter will behave entering into and coming out of the Low
Flow Cutoff. Options are stepped or damped. (See Technical Note 00840-0200-4004 for more
information regarding Low Flow Measurement).
4.3.4 Device information
Information variables are used for identification of flowmeters in the field and to store
information that may be useful in service situations. Information variables have no effect on
flowmeter output or process variables.
Manufacturer
Manufacturer is an informational variable provided by the factory. For the Rosemount 8600D,
the Manufacturer is Rosemount.
Tag
Tag is the quickest variable to identify and distinguish between flowmeters. Flowmeters can be
tagged according to the requirements of your application. The tag may be up to eight
characters long.
Descriptor
Descriptor is a longer user-defined variable to assist with more specific identification of the
particular flowmeter. It is usually used in multi-flowmeter environments and provides 16
characters.
Message
The Message variable provides an even longer user-defined variable for identification and other
purposes. It provides 32 characters of information and is stored with the other configuration
data.
