Overview
This section contains information on the flowmeter transducer block. Descriptions of all
transducer block parameters, errors, and diagnostics are listed. Also, the modes, alarm
detection, status handling, application information, and troubleshooting are discussed.

Quick transducer block configuration guide
Proper configuration of the flowmeter is essential for accurate performance. The following
is a quick configuration guide for those already familiar with vortex meters, especially the
Rosemount
™
8800D Vortex Flowmeter.
For most parameters configured in the flowmeter, the transmitter must perform extensive
calculations to derive internal parameters used to accurately measure flow. It is
recommended that each parameter in the Transducer Block be configured and sent to the
transmitter individually. If too many parameter changes are sent to the transmitter at one
time, the transmitter will return an error. The parameters not accepted will have to be
re-sent.
Configuration order
The Transducer Block parameters can be configured in any order, but the following is a
recommended procedure and can also be used as a checklist for configuration items.
