System pressure
It is important that cavitation does not occur, or that gases entrained in the liquids do not
outgas.
Cavitation is caused if the pressure drops below the vapor pressure:
• In liquids that have a low boiling point (e.g. hydrocarbons, solvents, liquefied gases)
• In suction lines
Ensure the system pressure is sufficiently high to prevent cavitation and outgassing.
‣
For this reason, the following mounting locations are recommended:
• At the lowest point in a vertical pipe
• Downstream from pumps (no danger of vacuum)
A0028777
Thermal insulation
In the case of some fluids, it is important that the heat radiated from the sensor to the
transmitter is kept to a minimum. A wide range of materials can be used for the required
insulation.
NOTICE
Electronics overheating on account of thermal insulation!
Observe maximum permitted insulation height of the transmitter neck so that the

Heating
NOTICE
Electronics can overheat due to elevated ambient temperature!
‣
‣
Observe maximum permitted ambient temperature for the transmitter .
Depending on the fluid temperature, take the device orientation requirements into
account .
Page 28
InstallationProline Promass F 500 Modbus RS485
NOTICE
Danger of overheating when heating
Ensure that the temperature at the lower end of the transmitter housing does not
‣
exceed 80 °C (176 °F).
Ensure that convection takes place on a sufficiently large scale at the transmitter neck.
‣
Ensure that a sufficiently large area of the housing support remains exposed. The
‣
uncovered part serves as a radiator and protects the electronics from overheating and
excessive cooling.
Heating options
If a fluid requires that no heat loss should occur at the sensor, users can avail of the
following heating options:
• Electrical heating, e.g. with electric band heaters
• Via pipes carrying hot water or steam
• Via heating jackets
Using an electrical trace heating system
If heating is regulated via phase angle control or pulse packages, magnetic fields can affect
the measured values (= for values that are greater than the values permitted by the EN
standard (sine 30 A/m)).
For this reason, the sensor must be magnetically shielded: the housing can be shielded
with tin plates or electric sheets without a privileged direction (e.g. V330-35A).
The sheet must have the following properties:
• Relative magnetic permeability µr ≥ 300
• Plate thickness d ≥ 0.35 mm (d ≥ 0.014 in)
Vibrations
The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of
the measuring system is not influenced by plant vibrations.
6.1.3 Special mounting instructions
Rupture disk
Make sure that the function and operation of the rupture disk is not impeded through the
installation of the device. The position of the rupture disk is indicated on a sticker beside it.
The transportation guard must be removed.
Information that is relevant to the process: → 197.
For information on the dimensions: see the "Mechanical construction" section of the
"Technical Information" document
The existing connecting nozzles are not intended for the purpose of rinsing or pressure
monitoring, but instead serve as the mounting location for the rupture disk.
In the event of a failure of the rupture disk, a discharge device can be screwed onto the
internal thread of the rupture disk in order to drain off any escaping medium.

Zero point adjustment
All measuring devices are calibrated in accordance with state-of-the-art technology.
Calibration takes place under reference conditions → 190. Therefore, a zero point
adjustment in the field is generally not required.
Experience shows that zero point adjustment is advisable only in special cases:
• To achieve maximum measuring accuracy even with low flow rates
• Under extreme process or operating conditions (e.g. very high process temperatures or
very high-viscosity fluids).

9.3.2 Register information
For an overview of device parameters with their respective Modbus register
information, please refer to the "Modbus RS485 register information" section in the
"Description of device parameters" documentation → 210.
9.3.3 Response time
Response time of the measuring device to the request telegram of the Modbus master:
typically 3 to 5 ms
9.3.4 Modbus data map
Function of the Modbus data map
The device offers a special memory area, the Modbus data map (for a maximum of 16
device parameters), to allow users to call up multiple device parameters via Modbus RS485
and not only individual device parameters or a group of consecutive device parameters.
Grouping of device parameters is flexible and the Modbus master can read or write to the
entire data block simultaneously with a single request telegram.
Structure of the Modbus data map
The Modbus data map consists of two data sets:
• Scan list: Configuration area
The device parameters to be grouped are defined in a list in that their Modbus RS485
register addresses are entered in the list.
• Data area
The measuring device reads out the register addresses entered in the scan list cyclically
and writes the associated device data (values) to the data area.
For an overview of device parameters with their respective Modbus register
information, please refer to the "Modbus RS485 register information" section in the
"Description of device parameters" documentation → 210.

System integrationProline Promass F 500 Modbus RS485
Scan list configuration
For configuration, the Modbus RS485 register addresses of the device parameters to be
grouped must be entered in the scan list. Please note the following basic requirements of
the scan list:
Max. entries16 device parameters
Supported device parameters Only parameters with the following characteristics are supported:
• Access type: read or write access
• Data type: float or integer
Configuring the scan list via FieldCare or DeviceCare
Carried out using the operating menu of the measuring device:
Expert → Communication → Modbus data map → Scan list register 0 to 15
The Modbus master accesses the data area of the Modbus data map to read out the current
values of the device parameters defined in the scan list.
Master access to data areaVia register addresses 5051-5081

* Data type depends on the device parameters entered in the scan list.
** Data access depends on the device parameters entered in the scan list. If the device parameter entered
supports read and write access, the parameter can also be accessed via the data area.
