3.1Overview
ProLink II is a Windows-based configuration and management tool for Micro
Motion transmitters. It provides complete access to transmitter functions and data.
Pocket ProLink is a version of ProLink II that runs on a Pocket PC.
This chapter provides basic information for connecting ProLink II or Pocket
ProLink to your transmitter. The following topics and procedures are discussed:
•Requirements (see Section 3.2)
•Configuration upload/download (see Section 3.3)
•Connecting to a Model 1700 or 2700 transmitter (see Section 3.4)
•Connecting to a Model 1500 or 2500 transmitter (see Section 3.5)
Using the DisplayUsing the CommunicatorUsing ProLink IIBefore You Begin
The instructions in this manual assume that users are already familiar with ProLink II or Pocket
ProLink software. For more information on using ProLink II, see the ProLink II manual. For more
information on using Pocket ProLink, see the Pocket ProLink manual. Instructions in this manual will
refer only to ProLink II.
3.2Requirements
To use ProLink II with a Series 1000 or 2000 transmitter, the following are required:
•ProLink II v2.0 or later for most basic functions
•ProLink II v2.5 or later for access to many advanced functions, such as meter verification
•Signal converter(s), to convert the PC port’s signal to the signal used by the transmitter
-For RS-485 connections, an RS-485 to RS-232 signal converter. The Black Box
IC521A-F RS-232 to RS-485 converter is recommended. For computers without serial
ports, the Black Box IC138A USB to RS-232 converter can be used in conjunction with
the IC521A-F. Both converters are available from Micro Motion.
-For Bell 202 connections, a HART interface. The MACTek
Interface (for serial port) or USB HART Interface Model 010031 (for USB) are
recommended. Both converters are available from Micro Motion.
•25-pin to 9-pin adapter (if required by your PC)
Note: If you are using the enhanced core processor and you connect directly to the core processor’s
RS-485 terminals (see Figure B-4 or Figure B-14) instead of to the transmitter, ProLink II v2.4 or
later is required. This connection type is sometimes used for troubleshooting.

3.3ProLink II configuration upload/download
ProLink II provides a configuration upload/download function which allows you to save configuration
sets to your PC. This allows:
•Easy backup and restore of transmitter configuration
•Easy replication of configuration sets
Micro Motion recommends that all transmitter configurations be downloaded to a PC as soon as the
configuration is complete.
To access the configuration upload/download function:
1. Connect ProLink II to your transmitter as described in this chapter.
2. Open the
File menu.
•To save a configuration file to a PC, use the
Load from Xmtr to File option.
•To restore or load a configuration file to a transmitter, use the
option.
3.4Connecting from a PC to a Model 1700 or Model 2700 transmitter
Depending on your transmitter, there are several options for connecting ProLink II to your transmitter.
See Table 3-1.
Notes: Service port connections use standard settings, do not require transmitter configuration, and
are always available. Therefore, they are easy and convenient. However, service port connections
require opening the power supply compartment. Accordingly, service port connections should be used
only for temporary connections, and may require extra safety precautions.
Due to the design of HART protocol, connections made using HART protocol are slower than
connections that use Modbus protocol. If you use HART protocol, you cannot open more than one
ProLink II window at a time.

3.4.1Connecting to the service port
To connect to the service port, which is located in the non-intrinsically safe power
supply compartment (see Figure 3-1):
1. Attach the signal converter to the serial or USB port of your PC, using a
25-pin to 9-pin adapter if required.
2. Open the cover to the wiring compartment.
Opening the wiring compartment in a hazardous area can cause an
explosion.
Because the wiring compartment must be open to make this connection, the
service port should be used only for temporary connections, for example, for
configuration or troubleshooting purposes.
When the transmitter is in an explosive atmosphere, use a different method to
connect to your transmitter.
Using the DisplayUsing the CommunicatorUsing ProLink IIBefore You Begin
3. Open the power supply compartment.
Opening the power supply compartment in explosive atmospheres while the
power is on can cause an explosion.
Before using the service port to communicate with the transmitter in a hazardous
area, make sure the atmosphere is free from explosive gases.
Opening the power supply compartment can expose the operator to electric
shock.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not touch the power supply wires or terminals
while using the service port.
4. Connect the signal converter leads to the service port terminals. See Figure 3-1.

Note: Service port connections use standard settings and do not require transmitter configuration.
Therefore, they are easy and convenient. However, service port connections can be established only
during a 10-second interval after power-up. See Step 5 in the following section.
Note: Due to the design of HART protocol, connections made using HART protocol are slower than
connections that use Modbus protocol. If you use HART protocol, you cannot open more than one
ProLink II window at a time.

4.1Overview
The 275 HART Communicator and the 375 Field Communicator are handheld
configuration and management tools for HART-compatible devices, including Micro
Motion transmitters.
This chapter provides basic information for connecting the 275 HART
Communicator or 375 Field Communicator to your transmitter. The following topics
and procedures are discussed:
•Communicator models (see Section 4.2)
•Connecting to a transmitter (see Section 4.3)
•Conventions used in this manual (see Section 4.4)
The instructions in this manual assume that users are already familiar with the Communicator and can
perform the following tasks:
•Turn on the Communicator
•Navigate the Communicator menus
Using the DisplayUsing the CommunicatorUsing ProLink IIBefore You Begin
4.2Communicator models
Configuration and Use Manual29
•Establish communication with HART-compatible devices
•Transmit and receive configuration information between the Communicator and
HART-compatible devices
•Use the alpha keys to type information
If you are unable to perform the tasks listed above, consult the Communicator manual before
attempting to use the Communicator. The documentation is available on the Micro Motion web site
(www.micromotion.com).
Two models of the Communicator – the 275 HART Communicator and the 375 Field Communicator
– can be used with Series 1000 and Series 2000 transmitters. However, the 275 HART Communicator
does not have device descriptions for all models. In some cases, you can communicate with a
transmitter using a device description that provides partial support for the new transmitter’s features.
Some features of the Series 1000 and 2000 transmitters, e.g., gas standard volume flow, are not
supported by the device descriptions for either the 275 or 375 Communicator.
Table 4-1 lists the Communicator device descriptions that are available for Series 1000 and 2000
transmitters, and the type of support they provide.

Connecting a HART device to the transmitter’s primary mA output terminals
could cause transmitter output error.
If the primary mA output is being used for flow control, connecting a HART device
to the output loop could cause the transmitter’s 4–20 mA output to change, which
would affect flow control devices.
Set control devices for manual operation before connecting a HART device to the
transmitter’s primary mA output loop.
1. If you are connecting to a Model 1700/2700 transmitter, open the cover to the wiring
compartment.
Opening the wiring compartment in a hazardous area can cause an
explosion.
Because the wiring compartment must be open to make this connection,
connections to the mA terminals should be used only for temporary connections,
for example, for configuration or troubleshooting purposes.
When the transmitter is in an explosive atmosphere, use a different method to
connect to your transmitter.

Flowmeter Startup
5.1Overview
This chapter describes the procedures you should perform the first time you install the flowmeter.
Performing these steps will help verify that all the flowmeter components are installed and wired
correctly. It is usually necessary to perform some additional first-time configuration of the transmitter,
which is described in Chapter 6.
The following procedures are discussed:
•Applying power to the flowmeter (see Section 5.2) – This step is required.
•Performing a loop test on the transmitter outputs (see Section 5.3) – Although this is not a
requirement, performing a loop test is strongly recommended as a way to verify that the
flowmeter is properly installed and wired.
•Trimming the mA outputs (see Section 5.4) – This step may be necessary depending on the
results of a loop test.
•Zeroing the flowmeter (see Section 5.5) – Zeroing is not generally necessary, but you may
need to zero to meet local requirements or if you are instructed to do so by Micro Motion
Customer Service.
Required ConfigurationOptional ConfigurationUsing the TransmitterFlowmeter Startup
This chapter provides only basic information for each procedure. For more details about how to
perform each procedure, see the flowcharts for your transmitter and communication tool, provided in
the appendices to this manual.
Notes: All ProLink II procedures provided in this chapter assume that your computer is already
connected to the transmitter and you have established communication. All ProLink II procedures also
assume that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 3 for more
information.
If you are using AMS, the AMS interface will be similar to the ProLink II interface described in this
chapter.
All Communicator procedures provided in this chapter assume that you are starting from the
“Online” menu. See Chapter 4 for more information.

WARNING
WARNING
5.2Applying power
Before you apply power to the flowmeter, close and tighten all housing covers.
Operating the flowmeter without covers in place creates electrical hazards
that can cause death, injury, or property damage.
Make sure safety barrier partition and covers for the field-wiring, circuit board
compartments, electronics module, and housing are all in place before applying
power to the transmitter.
Using the service port to communicate with a Model 1700/2700 transmitter in
a hazardous area can cause an explosion.
Before using the service port to communicate with the transmitter in a hazardous
area, make sure the atmosphere is free from explosive gases.
Turn on the electrical power at the power supply. The flowmeter will automatically perform
diagnostic routines. When the flowmeter has completed its power-up sequence:
•For Model 1700/2700 transmitters under normal conditions, the status LED on the display will
turn green and begin to flash.
•For Model 1500/2500 transmitters under normal conditions, the status LED will turn green.
•If the status LED exhibits different behavior, an alarm condition is present or transmitter zero
is in progress. See Section 7.5.
Note: The flowmeter is ready to receive process fluid approximately one minute after power-up (time
varies with models). However, approximately ten minutes are required for the electronics to warm up
to equilibrium. During this ten-minute period, the transmitter may exhibit minor instability or
inaccuracy.
5.2.1Communication methods after power-up
For Model 1700/2700 transmitters, all communication methods supported by the transmitter are
available immediately after power-up.
For Model 1500/2500 transmitters:
•If you are using the Communicator, or ProLink II with HART/Bell 202, you can establish
communication with the transmitter immediately after power-up, using terminals 21 and 22.
See Chapter 3 for more information on using ProLink II and Chapter 4 for more information
on using the Communicator.
•If you are using ProLink II via the RS-485 physical layer, terminals 33 and 34 are available to
establish a connection in service port mode for 10 seconds immediately after power-up. If no
service port connection is made during this period, the terminals are automatically reset to the
configured Modbus communication parameters. Be sure to set the ProLink II connection
parameters appropriately. See Chapter 3.

5.3Performing a loop test
A loop test is a means to:
•Verify that analog outputs (mA and frequency) are being sent by the transmitter and received
accurately by the receiving devices
•Determine whether or not you need to trim the mA outputs
•Select and verify the discrete output voltage
•Read the discrete input
Perform a loop test on all inputs and outputs available on your transmitter. Before performing the loop
tests, ensure that your transmitter’s channels are configured for the input/outputs that will be used in
your application (see Section 6.3).
You can perform a loop test with the display, with ProLink II, or the Communicator. The general
procedure for performing a loop test is shown in Figure 5-1.
Notes: If you are using the display, dots will traverse the top line of the display when an output is
fixed, and the status LED will blink yellow.
If the custody transfer application is enabled on the transmitter, it is not possible to perform a loop
test of the frequency output, even when in security breach mode.

If you are using either a Communicator or ProLink II via HART/Bell 202, the HART signal will affect
the primary mA reading. While testing the primary mA output, disconnect the Communicator or
ProLink II before reading the output, then reconnect the Communicator or ProLink II and resume the
loop test after taking the reading.
Milliamp readings do not need to be exact. You will correct differences when you trim the mA
output(s).

Perform the procedure for
each mA output at both
4 mA and 20 mA.
5.4Trimming the milliamp outputs
Trimming the mA output creates a common measurement range between the transmitter and the device
that receives the mA output. For example, a transmitter might send a 4 mA signal that the receiving
device reports incorrectly as 3.8 mA. If the transmitter output is trimmed correctly, it will send a
signal appropriately compensated to ensure that the receiving device actually indicates a 4 mA signal.
You must trim the mA output at both the 4 mA and 20 mA points to ensure appropriate compensation
across the entire output range.
Perform a milliamp trim on all mA outputs available on your transmitter. Before performing the trim,
ensure that your transmitter’s channels are configured for the input/outputs that will be used in your
application (see Section 6.3).
You can trim the outputs with ProLink II or a Communicator. The general procedure for performing a
milliamp trim is shown in Figure 5-2.
Notes: If you are using either a Communicator or ProLink II via HART/Bell 202, the HART signal
will affect the primary mA reading. While trimming the primary mA output, disconnect the
Communicator or ProLink II before reading the output, then reconnect the Communicator or
ProLink II and resume the trim procedure after taking the reading.
Any trimming performed on the output should not exceed ±200 microamps. If more trimming is
required, contact Micro Motion customer support.

Flowmeter Startup
CAUTION
5.5Zeroing the flowmeter
Zeroing the flowmeter establishes the flowmeter’s point of reference when there is no flow. The meter
was zeroed at the factory, and should not require a field zero. However, you may wish to perform a
field zero to meet local requirements or to confirm the factory zero.
When you zero the flowmeter, you may need to adjust the zero time parameter. Zero time is the
amount of time the transmitter takes to determine its zero-flow reference point. The default zero time
is 20 seconds.
•A long zero time may produce a more accurate zero reference but is more likely to result in a
zero failure. This is due to the increased possibility of noisy flow, which causes incorrect
calibration.
•A short zero time is less likely to result in a zero failure but may produce a less accurate zero
reference.
For most applications, the default zero time is appropriate.
Note: In some menus, a convergence limit parameter is displayed. Micro Motion recommends that you
use the default value for convergence limit.
Note: Do not zero the flowmeter if a high severity alarm is active. Correct the problem, then zero the
flowmeter. You may zero the flowmeter if a low severity alarm is active. See Section 7.5 for
information on viewing transmitter status and alarms.
If the zero procedure fails, see Section 12.6 for troubleshooting information. Additionally, if you have
the enhanced core processor:
•You can restore the factory zero. This procedure returns the zero value to the value obtained at
the factory. The factory zero can be restored with ProLink II or the display (if the transmitter
has a display).
•If you are using ProLink II to zero the flowmeter, you can also restore the prior zero
immediately after zeroing (e.g., an “undo” function), as long as you have not closed the
Calibration window or disconnected from the transmitter. Once you have closed the
Calibration window or disconnected from the transmitter, you can no longer restore the prior
zero.
5.5.1Preparing for zero
To prepare for the zero procedure:
Required ConfigurationOptional ConfigurationUsing the TransmitterFlowmeter Startup
1. Apply power to the flowmeter. Allow the flowmeter to warm up for approximately 20 minutes.
2. Run the process fluid through the sensor until the sensor temperature reaches the normal
process operating temperature.
3. Close the shutoff valve downstream from the sensor.
4. Ensure that the sensor is completely filled with fluid.
5. Ensure that the process flow has completely stopped.
If fluid is flowing through the sensor, the sensor zero calibration may be
inaccurate, resulting in inaccurate process measurement.
To improve the sensor zero calibration and measurement accuracy, ensure that
process flow through the sensor has completely stopped.

This chapter provides basic information and procedural flowcharts for each configuration step. For
more details about how to perform each procedure, see the flowcharts for your transmitter and
communication tool, provided in the appendices to this manual.
Default values and ranges for the parameters described in this chapter are provided in Appendix A.
Optional configuration procedures are described in Chapter 8.
Notes: All ProLink II procedures provided in this chapter assume that your computer is already
connected to the transmitter and you have established communication. All ProLink II procedures also
assume that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 3 for more
information.
If you are using AMS, the AMS interface will be similar to the ProLink II interface described in this
chapter.
All Communicator procedures provided in this chapter assume that you are starting from the
“Online” menu. See Chapter 4 for more information.
6.2Characterizing the flowmeter
Characterizing the flowmeter adjusts the transmitter to compensate for the unique
traits of the sensor it is paired with. The characterization parameters, or calibration
parameters, describe the sensor’s sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature.
6.2.1When to characterize
If the transmitter, core processor, and sensor were ordered together, then the flowmeter has already
been characterized. You need to characterize the flowmeter only if the core processor and sensor are
being paired together for the first time.
6.2.2Characterization parameters
The characterization parameters that must be configured depend on your flowmeter’s sensor type:
“T-Series” or “Other” (also referred to as “Straight Tube” and “Curved Tube,” respectively), as listed
in Table 6-1. The “Other” category includes all Micro Motion sensors except T-Series.
The characterization parameters are provided on the sensor tag. The format of the sensor tag varies
depending on your sensor’s date of purchase. See Figures 6-2 and 6-3 for illustrations of newer and
older sensor tags.

Figure 6-2Sample calibration tags – All sensors except T-Series
If your sensor tag does not show a D1 or D2 value:
•For D1, enter the Dens A or D1 value from the calibration certificate. This value is the
line-condition density of the low-density calibration fluid. Micro Motion uses air.
•For D2, enter the Dens B or D2 value from the calibration certificate. This value is the
line-condition density of the high-density calibration fluid. Micro Motion uses water.
If your sensor tag does not show a K1 or K2 value:
•For K1, enter the first 5 digits of the density calibration factor. In the sample tag in Figure 6-2,
this value is shown as
12500.
•For K2, enter the second 5 digits of the density calibration factor. In the sample tag in
Figure 6-2, this value is shown as
14286.
If your sensor does not show an FD value, contact Micro Motion customer service.
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 in Figure 6-2, this value is shown as
4.44.
Flow calibration values
Two separate values are used to describe flow calibration: a 6-character FCF value and a 4-character
FT value. Both values contain decimal points. During characterization, these are entered as a single
10-character string that includes two decimal points. In ProLink II, this value is called the Flowcal
parameter; in the Communicator, it is called the FCF for T-Series sensors, and Flowcal for other
sensors.
To obtain the required value:
•For older T-Series sensors, concatenate the FCF value and the FT value from the sensor tag, as
shown below.
•For newer T-Series sensors, the 10-character string is represented on the sensor tag as the FCF
value. The value should be entered exactly as shown, including the decimal points. No
concatenation is required.
•For all other sensors, the 10-character string is represented on the sensor tag as the Flow Cal
value. The value should be entered exactly as shown, including the decimal points. No
concatenation is required.

6.9Establishing a meter verification baseline
Note: This procedure applies only if your transmitter is connected to an enhanced core processor and
you have ordered the meter verification application. In addition, ProLink II v2.5 or later is required.
Meter verification is a method of establishing that the flowmeter is performing within factory
specifications. See Chapter 10 for more information about Smart Meter Verification.
Micro Motion recommends performing metere verification several times over a range of process
conditions after the transmitter’s required configuration procedures have been completed. This will
establish a baseline for how widely the verification measurement varies under normal circumstances.
The range of process conditions should include the expected variations in flow rate, temperature,
density, and pressure.

7.3Recording process variables
Micro Motion suggests that you make a record of the process variables listed below, under normal
operating conditions. This will help you recognize when the process variables are unusually high or
low, and may help in fine-tuning transmitter configuration.
Record the following process variables:
•Flow rate
•Density
•Temperature
•Tube frequency
•Pickoff voltage
•Drive gain
For information on using this information in troubleshooting, see Section 12.13.
7.4Viewing process variables
Process variables include measurements such as mass flow rate, volume flow rate, mass total, volume
total, temperature, and density.
You can view process variables with the display (Model 1700 and 2700 transmitters only), ProLink II,
or the Communicator.
7.4.1With the display
Process variable values are displayed using either standard decimal notation or exponential notation:
•Values < 100,000,000 are displayed in decimal notation (e.g., 123456.78).
•Values ≥ 100,000,000 are displayed using exponential notation (e.g., 1.000E08).
-If the value is less than the precision configured for that process variable, the value is
displayed as 0 (i.e., there is no exponential notation for fractional numbers).
-If the value is too large to be displayed with the configured precision, the displayed
precision is reduced (i.e., the decimal point is shifted to the right) as required so that the
value can be displayed.
See the Configuration and Use Manual Supplement for your transmitter for additional information
and instructions on viewing process variables with the display.
7.4.2With ProLink II
The Process Variables window opens automatically when you first connect to the transmitter. This
window displays current values for the standard process variables (mass, volume, density,
temperature, external pressure, and external temperature).

ProLink II provides two ways to view alarm information:
•Choose
independent of configured alarm severity. The alarms are divided into three categories:
Critical, Informational, and Operational. To view the indicators in a category, click on the
associated tab. A tab is red if one or more status indicators in that category is active. On each
tab, currently active alarms are shown by red indicators.
•Choose
unacknowledged Fault and Informational alarms. (The transmitter automatically filters out
Ignore alarms.) A green indicator means “inactive but unacknowledged” and a red indicator
means “active.” Alarms are organized into two categories: High Priority and Low Priority.
Notes: The location of alarms in the Status window is not affected by the configured alarm severity
(see Section 8.13.1). Alarms in the Status window are predefined as Critical, Informational, or
Operational.

7.7Using the totalizers and inventories
The totalizers keep track of the total amount of mass or volume measured by the transmitter over a
period of time. The totalizers can be viewed, started, stopped, and reset.
The inventories track the same values as the totalizers but can be reset separately. Because the
inventories are reset separately, you can keep a running total of mass or volume across multiple
totalizer resets.
The transmitter can store totalizer and inventory values up to 2
internal totalizer to go into overflow.

8.4Configuring standard volume flow measurement for gas
Special functionality is provided for measuring the standard volume flow of gases.
ProLink II is required to access this functionality. Other tools provide only limited
support:
•The Communicator cannot be used to configure volume flow meaurement
for gas or to select a standard gas volume flow measurement unit. If standard
gas volume flow measurement has been configured, the Communicator will
display the correct volume flow value, but will display “Unknown
Enumerator” for the units label.
•The local display cannot be used to change the volume flow type. However,
after the transmitter has been configured for standard gas volume flow
measurement, the display can be used to select a standard gas volume flow
measurement unit.
Standard gas volume flow and liquid volume flow are mutually exclusive settings. When the Vol Flow
Type is set to Std Gas Volume, the units list contains the units that are most frequently used for gas
measurement. If Liquid Volume is configured, gas measurement units are not available.

Note the following:
•You can create all special measurement units with ProLink II.
•Using the Communicator, you can create special measurement units for
mass flow and liquid volume flow, but not for gas standard volume flow.
•You cannot create any special measurement units with the display.
Special measurement units can be viewed normally with the display and with ProLink II. The
Communicator will display special measurement units for mass flow and liquid volume flow. For
special measurement units for gas standard voume flow, the Communicator will display the correct
value but will display “Spcl” for the units label.
8.5.1About special measurement units
Special measurement units consist of:
•Base unit – A combination of:
-Base mass or base volume unit – A measurement unit that the transmitter already
recognizes (e.g.,
kg, m3, l, SCF)
-Base time unit – A unit of time that the transmitter already recognizes (e.g., seconds, days)
•Conversion factor – The number by which the base unit will be divided to convert to the
special unit
•Special unit – A non-standard volume flow or mass flow unit of measure that you want to be
reported by the transmitter
The preceding terms are related by the following formula:
8.5.2Special measurement unit procedure
To create a special measurement unit:
1. If necessary, set Volume Flow Type to match the type of special measurement unit you will
create.
2. Identify the simplest base volume or mass and base time units for your special mass flow or
volume flow unit. For example, to create the special volume flow unit pints per minute, the
simplest base units are gallons per minute:
•Base volume unit: gallon
•Base time unit: minute
3. Calculate the conversion factor using the formula below:
Required ConfigurationOptional ConfigurationUsing the TransmitterFlowmeter StartupRequired ConfigurationOptional ConfigurationUsing the TransmitterFlowmeter StartupRequired ConfigurationOptional ConfigurationUsing the TransmitterFlowmeter StartupRequired ConfigurationOptional ConfigurationUsing the TransmitterFlowmeter Startup
Note: 1 gallon per minute = 8 pints per minute
4. Name the new special mass flow or volume flow measurement unit and its corresponding
totalizer measurement unit:
•Special volume flow measurement unit name: Pint/min
•Volume totalizer measurement unit name: Pints
Note: Special measurement unit names can be up to 8 characters long (i.e., 8 numbers or letters), but
only the first 5 characters appear on the display.
5. To apply the special measurement unit to mass flow or volume flow measurement, select

8.6Configuring the petroleum measurement application (API feature)
The API parameters determine the values that will be used in API-related
calculations. The API parameters are available only if the petroleum measurement
application is enabled on your transmitter.
8.6.1About the petroleum measurement application
The petroleum measurement enables Correction of Temperature on volume of Liquids, or CTL. In
other words, some applications that measure liquid volume flow or liquid density are particularly
sensitive to temperature factors, and must comply with American Petroleum Institute (API) standards
for measurement.
Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions are relevant to the petroleum measurement application:
•API – American Petroleum Institute
•CTL – Correction of Temperature on volume of Liquids. The CTL value is used to calculate
the VCF value
•TEC – Thermal Expansion Coefficient
•VCF – Volume Correction Factor. The correction factor to be applied to volume process
variables. VCF can be calculated after CTL is derived
CTL derivation methods
There are two derivation methods for CTL:
•Method 1 is based on observed density and observed temperature.
•Method 2 is based on a user-supplied reference density (or thermal expansion coefficient, in
some cases) and observed temperature.
API parameters
The API parameters are listed and defined in Table 8-2.

Temperature data
For the temperature value to be used in CTL calculation, you can use the temperature data from the
sensor, or you can poll an external temperature device:
•To use temperature data from the sensor, no action is required.
•To poll an external temperature device, configure polling for temperature as described in
Section 9.4. When polling is enabled, the transmitter will automatically use the external
temperature value for CTL calculation.
8.7Configuring cutoffs
Cutoffs are user-defined values below which the transmitter reports a value of zero
for the specified process variable. Cutoffs can be set for mass flow, volume flow, or
density.
3
Note: The density cutoff is available only with core processor software v2.0 or
above and transmitter software rev3.0 or above.
See Table 8-4 for cutoff default values and related information. See Sections 8.7.1 and 8.7.2 for
information on how the cutoffs interact with other transmitter measurements.

8.7.1Cutoffs and volume flow
If you are using liquid volume flow units (
Vol F low Ty pe is set to Liquid):
•The density cutoff is applied to the volume flow calculation. Accordingly, if the density drops
below its configured cutoff value, the volume flow rate will go to zero.
•The mass flow cutoff is not applied to the volume flow calculation. Even if the mass flow
drops below the cutoff, and therefore the mass flow indicators go to zero, the volume flow rate
will be calculated from the actual mass flow process variable.
If you are using gas standard volume flow units (
Vol Flow Type is set to Std Gas Volume), neither
the mass flow cutoff nor the density cutoff is applied to the volume flow calculation.
8.7.2Interaction with the AO cutoffs
Both the primary mA output and the secondary mA output (if it is available on your transmitter) have
cutoffs (the AO cutoffs). If the mA outputs are configured for mass flow, volume flow, or gas standard
volume flow:
•And the AO cutoff is set to a greater value than the mass, volume, or gas standard volume
cutoff, the mA output will report zero flow when the AO cutoff is reached.
•And the AO cutoff is set to a lower value than the mass, volume, or gas standard volume
cutoff, when the mass, volume, or gas standard volume cutoff is reached, all outputs
representing that process variable will report zero flow.

8.8Configuring the damping values
A damping value is a period of time, in seconds, over which the process variable
value will change to reflect 63% of the change in the actual process. Damping helps
the transmitter smooth out small, rapid measurement fluctuations.
•A high damping value makes the output appear to be smoother because the
output must change slowly.
•A low damping value makes the output appear to be more erratic because the
output changes more quickly.
When you specify a new damping value, it is automatically rounded down to the nearest valid
damping value. Flow, density, and temperature have different valid damping values. Valid damping
values are listed in Table 8-5.
Before setting the damping values, review Sections 8.8.1 through 8.8.3 for information on how the
damping values interact with other transmitter measurements and parameters.
When configuring damping values, note the following:
•Liquid volume flow is derived from mass and density measurements; therefore, any damping
applied to mass flow and density will affect liquid volume measurement.
•Gas standard volume flow is derived from mass flow measurement, but not from density
measurement. Therefore, only damping applied to mass flow will affect gas standard volume
measurement.
Be sure to set damping values accordingly.
8.8.2Interaction with the added damping parameter
Both the primary mA output and the secondary mA output (if it is available on your transmitter) have
a damping parameter (added damping). If damping is configured for flow, density, or temperature, the
same process variable is assigned to an mA output, and added damping is also configured for the mA
output, the effect of damping the process variable is calculated first, and the added damping
calculation is applied to the result of that calculation.
8.8.3Interaction with the update rate
Flow and density damping values depend on the configured Update Rate (see Section 8.9). If you
change the update rate, the damping values are automatically adjusted. Damping rates for Special are
20% of Normal damping rates. See Table 8-5.
Note: The specific process variable selected for the 100 Hz update rate is not relevant; all damping
values are adjusted as described.
8.9Configuring the update rate
The update rate is the rate at which the transmitter polls the sensor for process data.
Update Rate affects the transmitter’s response time to changes in the process.
There are two settings for Update Rate:
•When
•When
If you set the update rate to
100 Hz. Different 100 Hz variables are available, depending on which special applications are
installed on your transmitter.
Note: For transmitters with transmitter software rev5.0 running the enhanced density application, the
Special update rate is not available.
Normal and Special.
Normal is configured, most process variables are polled at the rate of
20 times per second (20 Hz).
Special is configured, a single, user-specified process variable is
polled 100 times per second (100 Hz). Polling for some process variables
and diagnostic/calibration data is dropped (see Section 8.9.1), and the
remaining process variables are polled a minimum of 6 times per second
(6.25 Hz).
Special, you must also specify which process variable will be polled at
74Micro Motion Series 1000 and Series 2000 Transmitters
Note: Most users should select the Normal update rate. Use the Special update rate only if required
by your application. See Section 8.9.1.
Note: If you change the update rate, the setting for damping is automatically adjusted. See
Section 8.8.3.

•Do not use Special mode unless required by your application. Contact Micro Motion before
setting Update Rate to Special.
•If Special mode is required, ensure that all required data is being updated.
•Do not perform any calibrations while in Special mode.
•Do not restore the factory zero or prior zero.
•Do not use discrete events (the dual-setpoint event model) while in Special mode. Instead, use
Event 1 and Event 2 from the single-setpoint event model. See Section 8.11.

8.12Configuring slug flow limits and duration
Slugs – gas in a liquid process or liquid in a gas process – occasionally appear in
some applications. The presence of slugs can significantly affect the process density
reading. The slug flow parameters can help the transmitter suppress extreme
changes in process variables, and can also be used to identify process conditions that
require correction.
Slug flow parameters are as follows:
•Low slug flow limit – the point below which a condition of slug flow will exist. Typically, this
is the lowest density point in your process’s normal density range. Default value is 0.0 g/cm
3
range is 0.0–10.0 g/cm
.
•High slug flow limit – the point above which a condition of slug flow will exist. Typically, this
is the highest density point in your process’s normal density range. Default value is 5.0 g/cm
3
range is 0.0–10.0 g/cm
.
•Slug flow duration – the number of seconds the transmitter waits for a slug flow condition
(outside the slug flow limits) to return to normal (inside the slug flow limits). Default value is
0.0 seconds; range is 0.0–60.0 seconds
If the transmitter detects slug flow:
•A slug flow alarm is posted immediately.
Scroll to the volume total
3
;
3
;
80Micro Motion Series 1000 and Series 2000 Transmitters
•During the slug duration period, the transmitter holds the mass flow rate at the last measured
pre-slug value, independent of the mass flow rate measured by the sensor. All outputs that
report mass flow rate and all internal calculations that include mass flow rate will use this
value.
•If slugs are still present after the slug duration period expires, the transmitter forces the mass
flow rate to 0, independent of the mass flow rate measured by the sensor. All outputs that
report mass flow rate and all internal calculations that include mass flow rate will use 0.
•When process density returns to a value within the slug flow limits, the slug flow alarm is
cleared and the mass flow rate reverts to the actual measured value.
Note: This functionality is not available via the display menus.
Note: The slug flow limits must be entered in g/cm
3
, even if another unit has been configured for
density. Slug flow duration is entered in seconds.
Note: Raising the low slug flow limit or lowering the high slug flow limit will increase the possibility
of slug flow conditions. Conversely, lowering the low slug flow limit or raising the high slug flow limit
will decrease the possibility of slug flow conditions.

Note: If slug flow duration is set to 0, the mass flow rate will be forced to 0 as soon as slug flow is
detected.
8.13Configuring fault handling
There are three ways that the transmitter can report faults:
•By setting outputs to their configured fault levels
•By configuring a discrete output to indicate fault status
•By posting an alarm to the active alarm log
Status alarm severity controls which of these methods is used. For some faults only,
fault timeout controls when the fault is reported.
8.13.1Status alarm severity
Status alarms are classified into three levels of severity. The severity level controls transmitter
behavior when the alarm condition occurs. See Table 8-7.

8.13.2Fault timeout
If a fault is detected, the transmitter always sets the “alarm active” status bit immediately. Fault
actions for the transmitter outputs and digital communications may be implemented immediately or
may be delayed until the fault timeout expires. During the fault timeout, outputs continue to report
their last measured value.
The default fault timeout value is
The fault timeout is not applicable to all faults. See Table 8-8 for information about which faults are
affected.
8.14Configuring the display
If your transmitter has a display, you can enable or disable specific display
functions, specify the process variables to be shown on the display, and set a variety
of parameters that control display behavior.

8.14.4Changing the scroll rate
The scroll rate is used to control the speed of scrolling when Auto Scroll is enabled. Scroll Rate
defines how long each display variable (see Section 8.14.6) will be shown on the display. The time
period is defined in seconds; e.g., if Scroll Rate is set to 10, each display variable will be shown on
the display for 10 seconds.
If you are using the Communicator to configure the transmitter, you must enable Auto Scroll before
you can configure Scroll Rate (see Section 8.14.3).
8.14.5Changing the display password
The display password is a numeric code that can contain up to four digits. It is used for both the
off-line password and the alarm screen password. See Section 2.4.4 for information on how the two
passwords are implemented.
If you are using the Communicator or the display, you must enable either the off-line password or the
alarm screen password before you can configure the password (see Section 8.14.3).
Note: If the petroleum measurement application is installed on your transmitter, the display password
is always required to start, stop, or reset a totalizer, even if neither password is enabled. If the
petroleum measurement application is not installed, the display password is never required for these
functions, even if one of the passwords is enabled.

Pressure Compensation, Temperature
Compensation, and Polling
9.1Overview
This chapter describes the following procedures:
•Configuring pressure compensation (see Section 9.2)
•Configuring external temperature compensation (see Section 9.3)
•Configuring polling (see Section 9.4)
Note: All ProLink II procedures provided in this section assume that your computer is already
connected to the transmitter and you have established communication. All ProLink II procedures also
assume that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 3 for more
information.
Note: All Communicator key sequences in this section assume that you are starting from the “Online”
menu. See Chapter 4 for more information.
9.2Pressure compensation
Series 1000/2000 transmitters can compensate for the effect of pressure on the
sensor flow tubes. Pressure effect is defined as the change in sensor flow and density
sensitivity due to process pressure change away from calibration pressure.
Note: Pressure compensation is an optional procedure. Perform this procedure only
if required by your application.
There are two ways to configure pressure compensation:
•If the operating pressure is a known static value, you can enter the external pressure in the
software, and not poll a pressure measurement device.
•If the operating pressure varies significantly, you configure the transmitter to poll for an
updated pressure value from an external pressure measurement device. Polling requires
HART/Bell 202 communications over the primary mA output.
Note: If you configure a static pressure value, ensure that it is accurate. If you configure polling for
pressure, ensure that the pressure measurement device is accurate and reliable.

(1) Setting the pressure measurement unit is optional.
(2) See Section 9.4.
(3) If previously configured. Polling for temperature is allowed. See
Section 9.4.
9.2.2Pressure correction factors
When configuring pressure compensation, you must provide the flow calibration pressure – the
pressure at which the flowmeter was calibrated (which therefore defines the pressure at which there
will be no effect on the calibration factor). Refer to the calibration document shipped with your
sensor. If the data is unavailable, use 20 psi.
Two additional pressure correction factors may be configured: one for flow and one for density. These
are defined as follows:
•Flow factor – the percent change in the flow rate per psi
•Density factor – the change in fluid density, in g/cm
Not all sensors or applications require pressure correction factors. For the pressure correction values
to be used, obtain the pressure effect values from the product data sheet for your sensor, then reverse
the signs (e.g., if the flow factor is 0.000004 % per PSI, enter a pressure correction flow factor of
–0.000004 % per PSI).
9.2.3Configuration
To enable and configure pressure compensation:
•With ProLink II, see Figure 9-1.
•With the Communicator, see Figure 9-2.
