Quick start Quick start Topics covered in this chapter: • Power up the transmitter • Check flowmeter status • Make a startup connection to the transmitter • Characterize the flowmeter (if required) • Verify mass flow measurement • Verify the zero Power up the transmitter The transmitter must be powered up for all configuration and commissioning tasks, or for process measurement.
Page 16
Quick start Wait approximately 10 seconds for the power-up sequence to complete. Immediately after power-up, the transmitter runs through diagnostic routines and checks for error conditions. During the power-up sequence, Alarm A009 is active. This alarm should clear automatically when the power-up sequence is complete. Check the status LED on the transmitter.
Quick start Make a startup connection to the transmitter For all configuration tools except the display, you must have an active connection to the transmitter to configure the transmitter. Follow this procedure to make your first connection to the transmitter. Identify the connection type to use, and follow the instructions for that connection type in the appropriate appendix.

Quick start If your sensor tag does not show a DT or TC value, enter the last 3 digits of the density calibration factor. In the sample tag, this value is shown as 4.44 (see Figure 2-1). Flow calibration parameters (FCF, FT) Two separate values are used to describe flow calibration: a 6-character FCF value and a 4- character FT value.
Quick start • Review the troubleshooting suggestions for flow measurement issues. See Section 10.3. Verify the zero Verifying the zero helps you determine if the stored zero value is appropriate to your installation, or if a field zero can improve measurement accuracy. The zero verification procedure analyzes the Live Zero value under conditions of zero flow, and compares it to the Zero Stability range for the sensor.
Quick start If the zero verification procedure fails: a. Confirm that the sensor is completely blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that the sensor is completely full of process fluid. b. Verify that the process fluid is not flashing or condensing, and that it does not contain particles that can settle out.

Configure process measurement • In general, lower damping values are preferable because there is less chance of data loss, and less lag time between the actual measurement and the reported value. • For gas applications, Micro Motion recommends setting Flow Damping to 2.56 or higher. The value you enter is automatically rounded down to the nearest valid value.
Page 36
Configure process measurement Procedure Set Mass Flow Cutoff to the value you want to use. The default value for Mass Flow Cutoff is 0.0 g/sec or a sensor-specific value set at the factory. The recommended setting is 0.05% of the sensor's rated maximum flow rate or a value below the highest expected flow rate.
Configure process measurement The frequency output will report the actual flow rate, and the actual flow rate will be used in all internal processing. • If the mass flow rate drops below 10 g/sec, both outputs will report zero flow, and 0 will be used in all internal processing.

Configure process measurement Overview Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. Damping Value specifies the time period (in seconds) over which the transmitter will spread changes in the reported process variable. At the end of the interval, the reported process variable will reflect 63% of the change in the actual measured value.
Configure process measurement Interaction between Density Damping and Added Damping In some circumstances, both Density Damping and Added Damping are applied to the reported density value. Density Damping controls the rate of change in the density process variable. Added Damping controls the rate of change reported via the mA output.

Configure process measurement Prerequisites You will need the flow factor, density factor, and calibration pressure values for your sensor. • For the flow factor and density factor, see the product data sheet for your sensor. • For the calibration pressure, see the calibration sheet for your sensor. If the data is unavailable, use 20 PSI.
Configure process measurement Option Setup Polling for pressure a. Ensure that the primary mA output has been wired to support HART polling. b. Choose ProLink > Configuration > Polled Variables. c. Choose an unused polling slot. d. Set Polling Control to Poll As Primary or Poll as Secondary, and click Apply.
Page 63
Configure process measurement The flow factor is the percent change in the flow rate per PSI. When entering the value, reverse the sign. Example: If the flow factor is 0.000004 % per PSI, enter −0.000004 % per PSI. Enter Density Factor for your sensor. The density factor is the change in fluid density, in g/cm /PSI.
Configure process measurement If you want to use digital communications, click Apply, then perform the necessary host programming and communications setup to write temperature data to the transmitter at appropriate intervals. Postrequisites If you are using an external pressure value, verify the setup by checking the External Pressure value displayed in the Inputs area of the main window.
