1 Mechanical Installation
1.1 General principles
The OPTIMASS mass flow meters provide high accuracy and excellent repeatability. Narrow band pass
digital filtering, and the mathematically modelled internal primary head design with AST (Adaptive Sensor
Technology) for the OPTIMASS sensor family provide exceptional immunity to external vibratory
disturbances from nearby process equipment.
The accuracy of the flow meter is not affected by velocity profile.
The following installation guidelines are practical to implement, particularly if planned before the
OPTIMASS meter is first installed. For further dimensions or connections, please refer to the relevant
section.
For the OPTIMASS, in general, no special mounting requirements are necessary. However, good general
engineering practice for the installation of flow meters should still be observed.
The general guidelines described in this section are valid for the complete OPTIMASS family of mass flow
meters.
• The mass flow meters do not require any straight inlet or outlet runs.
• Due to the weight of the meters we recommend the use of supports.
• It is permissible to support the body of the meter.
• The meter can be installed horizontally, in an upward sloping pipeline or vertically. For best results, a
vertical installation with flow in an upward direction is recommended.
This label on the meter shows the flow direction programmed into the converter in function 3.1.4.
As default this is always in the direction of the ‘+’ arrow, i.e. left-to right as the label is viewed.

Examples
Vertical mounting Horizontal mounting
Upward sloping installation
Avoid mounting the meter with long vertical
drops after the meter. This could cause
siphoning and cause measurement errors.
Avoid mounting the meter at the highest point in
the pipeline. Air or gas can accumulate here and
cause faulty measurements

1.1.1 Transport and Lifting
As the larger meters are heavy, care should be taken when lifting to install.
• Meters should be lifted or suspended using a well maintained sling.
• The meters should under no circumstances be lifted by the electronics housings.
• The meters can be lifted and suspended from the spigots as shown.

1.2 OPTIMASS 7000 Single Straight Tube Meter
1.2.1 Specific Installation Guidelines
• Tighten flange bolts evenly.
• Observe min and max pipe end loads at end of this section.
The use of reducers at the flanges is
allowed. Extreme pipe size reductions
should be avoided due to possibility of
cavitation and degassing.
There are no additional installation requirements for the OPTIMASS 7000 sensors. Fixing of flexible
hoses directly on the meter is allowed.
1.2.2 Ambient / Process temperatures
The specified and approved ambient and process temperatures must be observed.
Titanium HC22 SS318L
°C °F °C °F °C °F
Process -40 .. +150 -40 .. +300 0 .. +100 0 .. 212 0 .. +100 0 .. 212
Where meters are mounted in direct sunlight, it is recommended to install a sunshade. This is
particularly important in countries with high ambient temperatures.
The maximum differential temperature between the process and ambient temperature without
insulation is 130°C or 265°F for Titanium and 80°C or 115°F for Hastelloy and Stainless Steel meters.
To comply with the requirements of the PED in Europe, the following information is provided to assist
the plant engineer in installing the meter.

1.2.4 Secondary Pressure containment
The OPTIMASS 7000 meters are supplied with secondary pressure containment as standard.
Allowable maximum secondary containment pressures are 63 bar at 20°C or 914 psig at 70°F
If the user suspects that the primary tube has failed, the unit must be depressurised and removed
from service as soon as possible.
Note:
In the 7000 Series there are high pressure feed through seals and ‘O’ rings that might not be
compatible with the process fluid for an extended period if a primary tube fails.
It is important to remove the meter ASAP
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the materials used are compatible with this product.
Other ‘O’ ring materials are available on request.
1.2.5 Pressure de-rating
Meter data plates are stamped with maximum pressure rating (at max. operating temperature) of
connection, primary tube or secondary pressure containment (whichever is the lower). Higher
pressures may be possible at lower temperatures.
Titanium Tubes and secondary pressure containment is 63 bar at 20°C or 910 psi at
4°F
De-rated to 40 bar at 150°C or 580 psi at
300°F
The titanium tubes could handle a higher pressure, but where this exceeds the pressure rating, a relief
or bursting disk has to be fitted to the secondary pressure containment. This can be done as a
special. (This is available for meter sizes up to 25 only)
Hastelloy and SS measuring tubes are rated for 50 bar at 20°C or 725 psi at
4°F
De-rated to 40 bar at 100°C or 580 psi at
210°F

1.2.6 Hygienic Applications
The OPTIMASS 7000 series is available with a variety of hygienic process connectors.
When using / installing meters with hygienic process connectors, care should be taken to ensure the
meter is well supported / clamped, as the meters are heavy and could injure when disconnected from
the adjacent pipe work.
The recommended method of installation is to mount the meter against a support / wall with the body of
the meter supported / clamped. The process pipe work can then be supported off the meter. The meter
is too heavy to be supported from the thin walled piping usually associated with the hygienic industry.
Meter supported from its body
Installation lengths
For installation lengths, please see section 1.2.10
Please check with KROHNE if you are unsure of the installation length. Many meters are built to
customer requirements / specifications especially where special hygienic process connectors have been
adapted to the meter. As these are normally non-standard, the installation length will not be given in the
technical data.
It is also recommended that the seals be replaced regularly to maintain the hygienic integrity of the
connection.
Hygienic Connection Materials
Version Titanium Meter SS 318 Meter
All welded DIN 11864
Titanium Grade 2 SS 318
All welded Tri-Clamps
Adaptor versions 316L Stainless Steel 316L Stainless Steel
EPDM seals EPDM seals
Unless specifically requested, internal surfaces are not polished and no warranty is made as to the
surface finish. If polishing option and /or EHEDG, ASME Bio-Processing or 3A approvals was selected
at time of order, all product contact surfaces are polished 0.5 micrometer Ra (Ra 20) finish or better.
Use of OPTIMASS 7000 SS sensors above 100°C – Hygienic Connections only
Sizes 25S, 40S, 50S and 80S sensors with hygienic connections may be exposed to temperatures
above 100°C up to a maximum of 130°C for a maximum of 2 hours (e.g. for steam cleaning purposes).
The maximum temperature shock permitted either from cold to hot or from hot to cold is 110°C.
E.g. A meter measuring a product at 20°C can be immediately steam cleaned at 130°C, but a meter
measuring a product at 5°C can only be immediately steam cleaned at 115°C. Conversely, after steam
cleaning at 130°C the minimum allowed temperature of the product introduced immediately afterwards is
20°C.
Operation outside of these guidelines may cause shifts in the mass flow and density calibration.
Repeated shocking may also cause premature failure of the meter.
Installation and Operating Instructions OPTIMASS

1.2.7 Heating and insulation
There are several methods to heat the meter. In most cases heating is unnecessary as the meter is
designed as such that very little heat is lost or gained through the outer cylinder.
Insulation
Where insulation is required a variety of materials may be used to insulate the meter. Care must be
taken not to insulate the meter above the halfway mark of the electronics support post as shown in the
sketch.
Do not insulate above
this line.
Insulation
Electrical Heating
Electrical tape heating may be used. Care should be taken to only heat the sections where the best
effect will be achieved. Do not heat above the converter mount centre line as shown above.
The following guidelines must be observed.
Areas A and B may be
heated. Area C must not be
heated.
When insulating please observe guidelines as per insulation section.
The meter can be supplied with a heating jacket. This jacket is designed to minimise the differential
stress across the meter where differences in temperature between outer cylinder and measuring tube
exist.
The connections to the heating jacket are NPT or Ermeto sockets.
It is recommended that reinforced flexible hoses be used to connect the heating jacket to the heat
source.
Important:
Always heat jacket to working temperature before flowing product in measuring tube.
It is important to avoid the use in the heating jackets of fluids which cause crevice corrosion.
Regarding jacket materials. Although all the jacket materials are 316L, the outer cylinders are 304L
(Optional 316L).
Connections should be made to ensure all air can be vented on liquid systems and all condensate can
be drained on steam systems.
Note :
Max heating medium pressure and temperature for heating jackets is 10 bar at 150°C or 145 psig at
300°F for titanium measuring tubes and 10 bar at 100°C or 145 psig at 210 °F for Hastelloy and
Stainless Steel measuring tubes.
Heating Times
The following graphs are provided as a guide only. Heating times were calculated and tested using the
following conditions:
• Ambient temperature 25°C or 80°F
• Meter insulated.
The Titanium meters were heated using a steam temperature of 150°C or 300°F and the Hastelloy and
Stainless Steel meters using a temperature of 100°C or 210°F.
Heating times may vary depending on the quality of insulation (if any), ambient temperature and
temperature of the heating medium. Once meter has been heated to a temperature where the product
will not solidify, product may be introduced if required. This will bring the meter to operating temperature
sooner.
Note:
The maximum heating temperature for a Titanium meter is 150°C or 300°F.
The maximum heating temperature for Hastelloy or SS meters is 100°C or 210°F.
If these temperatures are exceeded, the meter will be damaged.
Please consult KROHNE if cooling medium is to be used in the heating jacket.

1.2.8 Purge Port Meters and Burst Disk Meters
Purge Port Options
If the purge port option was selected at time of order, then your meter will be fitted with ½” NPT female
connections – these will be clearly identified. These connections are sealed with NPT plugs and PTFE
tape.
Important:
Do not remove these plugs.
The meter is factory sealed with a dry nitrogen gas fill and any ingress of moisture will damage the meter.
The plugs should only be removed to purge the inside of the meter case of any product if it is suspected
that the primary measuring tube has failed. This must only be done after the meter has been
depressurised and removed from service. This should be done as soon as possible after failure is
suspected (less than 3 days)
Burst Disk meters (Meters up to size 25 only)
OPTIMASS 7000 meters that have been ordered with a bursting (rupture) disk will be so fitted. This is
fitted when the operating pressure of the measuring tube exceeds the design pressure of the secondary
containment. The disk failure pressure is 20bar @ 20°C.
Important:
The burst disk is suitable for the designed application according to the process conditions and flow rates
as per original order. If conditions alter, consult KROHNE for further advice regarding suitability of disk
fitted.
If the product is in any way hazardous, it is strongly recommended that an exhaust tube is connected to
the NPT male thread of the burst disk so that the discharge can be piped to a safe area. This tube should
be large enough that pressure cannot build up in the meter case.
Ensure arrow on burst disk is pointing away from meter.
Note: For all other dimensions see compact version

1.3.1 Specific Installation Guidelines
When installing, please observe the following:
• Four holes are provided in the base plate and all four should always be used.
• The plastic inserts in the base plate mounting holes are important to ensure a rigid and stable
connection to the mounting structure.
• It is important to mount on a firm and rigid structure to obtain a stable zero condition.
• The following guidelines are provided to assist the installer to select the best option:
Flow
Vertical mount is possible. Horizontal mount is possible.
.
Flow
Take care to avoid gas build up in top half of tube
bends.
Do not suspend from flanges alone. Base must
always be supported.
Do not install upside down
Installation and Operating Instructions OPTIMASS
23
Flanged and Tri-clamp Meters
When installing these meters ensure that the pipework is supported behind the process flange, so that no
unnecessary stress is applied to the meter flanges.
1.First fix meter to firm support
2.Carefully align process flanges
and connect
3.Support process pipe close to
flanges – do not pull pipe with
clamps
4. Make final process
connections – if no connections
in this area, try to have some
flexibility in process pipe
Note :
Please note that gas bubbles can also accumulate between flange and measuring tube due to the step
change, mount vertically to avoid this.
1.3.2 Ambient / Process temperatures
The specified and approved ambient and process temperatures must be observed.

1.3.4 Secondary Pressure containment
The OPTIMASS 3000 (7100) meters are supplied with secondary pressure containment as standard.
Allowable maximum secondary containment pressures are 30 bar at 20°C or 435 psig at 70°F, and is derated as follows :
20 °C 50°C 100°C 150°C
30 bar 28.5 bar 26.1 bar 24 bar
The de-rating is based on the reduction of material strength with temperature for 316L (W No. 1.4404)
material from DIN 17456.
Heating jacket is rated to 10 bar at 150°C or 145 psig at 300°F.
If heating jacket fitted, secondary containment is limited to 10 bar at 150°C or 145 psig at 300°F. This is
because the jacket is fitted inside of the secondary containment dome.
If meter operating pressure is higher than the secondary containment allowable pressure then a relief or
bursting disk option (fitted in the dome) MUST be ordered. In this case the meter data plate is stamped
with maximum pressure rating (at maximum operating temperature) of the connection or the primary tube
(whichever is the lower).
Note:
Burst disc options are not available in combination with a heating jacket.
1.3.5 Pressure de-rating
Meter data plates are stamped with maximum pressure rating (at max. operating temperature) of
connection, primary tube or secondary pressure containment (whichever is the lower). Higher pressures
may be possible at lower temperatures.
Stainless Steel tubes: 150 bar at 80°C or 2175 psi at 175°F

1.4.6 Hygienic Applications
The OPTIMASS 8000/9000 series is available with a variety of hygienic process connectors.
When using / installing meters with hygienic process connectors, care should be taken to ensure the
meter is well supported / clamped, as the meters are heavy and could injure when disconnected from
the adjacent pipe work.
The recommended method of installation is to mount the meter against a support / wall with the body of
the meter supported / clamped. The process pipe work can then be supported off the meter.
The meter is too heavy to be supported from the thin walled piping usually associated with the hygienic
industry.
Support here
Meter supported from its body
Installation lengths
For installation lengths, please see section 1.4.10
Please check with KROHNE if you are unsure of the installation length. Many meters are built to
customer requirements / specifications especially where special hygienic process connectors have been
adapted to the meter. As these are normally non-standard, the installation length will not be given in the
technical data.
It is also recommended that the seals be replaced regularly to maintain the hygienic integrity of the
connection.
Hygienic Connection Materials
Material: SS 316L
Unless specifically requested, internal surfaces are not polished and no warranty is made as to the

1.4.8 Purge Port Meters and Burst Disk Meters
Purge Port Options
If the purge port option was selected at time of order, then your meter will be fitted with 1/4" NPT female
connections – these will be clearly identified. These connections are sealed with NPT plugs and PTFE tape.
Important:
Do not remove these plugs.
The meter is factory sealed with a dry nitrogen gas fill and any ingress of moisture will damage the meter.
The plugs should only be removed to purge the inside of the meter case of any product if it is suspected that
the primary measuring tube has failed. This must only be done after the meter has been depressurised and
removed from service. This should be done as soon as possible after failure is suspected (less than 3 days)
Burst Disk meters
OPTIMASS 8000/9000 meters that have been ordered with a bursting (rupture) disk will be so fitted. This is
fitted when the operating pressure of the measuring tube exceeds the design pressure of the secondary
containment. The disk failure pressure is 20bar @ 20°C.
Important:
The burst disk is suitable for the designed application according to the process conditions and flow rates as
per original order. If conditions alter, consult KROHNE for further advice regarding suitability of disk fitted.
If the product is in any way hazardous, it is strongly recommended that an exhaust tube is connected to the
3/4" NPT male thread of the burst disk so that the discharge can be piped to a safe area. This tube should
be large enough that pressure cannot build up in the meter case.
Ensure arrow on burst disk is pointing away from meter.

3 Start-Up
3.1 Factory Set Parameters
The mass flow meter leaves the factory ready to be used. All process data has been programmed
according to the customer order.
When no process details were supplied at the time of order, the mass flow meter is programmed to a
standard default set of values and functions.
The current and pulse outputs treat all flows as positive. The actual flow and quantity is thereby
measured independent of the flow direction. The indicator will indicate a ” – ” or ” + ” in front of the flow
rate.
These factory-set settings for current and pulse may cause an error under the following conditions:
When the pump is stopped and a reverse flow is present, which is larger than the low flow cut-off or
when totalising should be indicated for both flow directions.
To avoid these possible problems:
• Set flow mode (Fct. 3.1.3) to either flow > 0 or Flow < 0, so that reverse flows are ignored.
or
• Increase Low Flow cut-off (Fct. 3.1.1) so that small reverse flows are ignored.
or
• Set the alarm output (Fct. 4.6.1) to DIRECTION so that external equipment can differentiate between
positive and negative flows.
3.2 Initial Start-up
• Please check that the power supply corresponds to the information supplied on the data plate.
• Switch on the power supply.
• On switch-on, the signal converter first carries out a self-test. The following sequence is displayed:
Mass flow will be displayed following a brief settling phase for the primary head.
A minimum warm-up time of 30 minutes is recommended to ensure stable measurement operation.
• For stable and accurate mass flow results the following should be checked:
a) The quality of the mechanical installation. See Sect. 1.
b) A good zero point calibration should be done. See Sect. 3.3. Further information regarding zero
point calibration can be found in Sect. 5.
* TEST
* SW.VER VX.XX
* OPTIMASS

* START UP
Installation and Operating Instructions OPTIMASS

3.3 Zero point adjustment
After installation adjust the zero point. To do this, the primary head must be completely filled with the liquid
product without gas or air inclusions. This is best obtained by allowing the liquid product to flow through
the primary head for approx. 2 minutes at a throughput rate of greater than 50% of rated flow.
Subsequently ensure that flow comes to a complete stop in the primary head (see Section 1.1) for setting
the zero without interruption to product flow, use a bypass set-up as shown in Section 1.1.
Now initiate zero adjustment by way of the following keystroke combination:
Under certain conditions, it may not be possible to adjust the zero point:
• If the medium is in motion. Shut-off valves not tightly closed.
• If there are gaseous inclusions in the primary head. Flush the primary head and repeat the calibration.
• If resonant oscillations of the piping are interfering with the primary head. If there are active warning(s)
in the status message list. (See section 6)
In such cases, the zero point adjustment procedure is automatically aborted and the following message is
displayed:
ZERO.ERROR
Press ↵ and then the converter returns to the start of the function 1.1.1:
Fct. 1.1.1 AUTO. CALIB
Further information on zero point adjustment is given in Section 4.
The OPTIMASS is ready to operate after zero has been adjusted.
All parameters have been factory-set in keeping with the data specified in your order.
Detailed information for further setting of the signal converter will be found in section 4 and 5 of the
operating instructions.
3.4 Programming the converter with a bar magnet
• The converter can be programmed by means of the magnetic sensors mounted on the faceplate
without removing the front lid.
• To do this, a bar magnet (standard supply) is used to activate the sensors by holding the magnet close
to the glass window of the housing lid.
• These sensors then duplicate the functions of the push buttons.
• This is mandatory in Ex
environments
• Also recommended in

5 Description of Functions
In all the following examples, a short notation is used for the setting of the signal converter. Pushing a
key several times is indicated by the number of times without the intermediate display messages. Only
the final display output is listed.
5.1 Menu 1 - Initial Start up
Zero Point Adjustment Fct. 1.1
When operating the system for the first time, it is necessary to set the zero point of the instrument.
Once the zero point has been adjusted, the installation should not undergo any further modifications in
order to maintain the quality of the measurement. This means that after system changes (such as the
piping or changing the calibration factor), it is advisable to re-adjust the zero-point.
To achieve a successful zero calibration the primary head should be completely full of process fluid at
normal operating pressures and temperatures. Ideally there should be no air inclusions in the fluid,
particularly for horizontal installations, so it is recommended that the primary head be flushed with the
process fluid at a high flow rate (>50%), for 2 minutes, prior to starting the adjustment. After flushing,
flow in the primary head must be brought back to zero by tightly closing appropriate valves.
The zero off-set can either be measured automatically or entered manually using the display keys. If an
automatic adjustment is to be made then the operator should trigger this, with the front cover still in
place, using the bar magnet provided to operate the magnetic sensors on the display. This is to ensure
that the zero adjustment is carried out with the mechanical installation exactly the same as for normal
operation.
Begin from the measuring mode.

Under certain conditions, it may not be possible to adjust the zero point, for instance when:
• The medium is in motion, because the shut-off valves etc. are not functioning properly.
• There are still gaseous inclusions in the primary head because it was flushed insufficiently.
In such cases the zero point adjustment will not be accepted. If the zero adjustment was started by the
binary input, the converter will show the message :
ZERO.ERROR
The converter also reports the ZERO.ERROR in the status list.
Under certain circumstances, when the media consists of unevenly mixed components, it might be
difficult to adjust the zero point. In such a case, the zero point adjustment procedure must be carried
out under special conditions:
• Media which tend to vaporise or degas should be kept under higher pressure.
• Two-phase media consisting of a separable solid component (slurry): In such a case it might be
advisable to fill the primary head with the carrier medium only.
• Other two-phase media.
If it is not possible to separate the solid or gaseous components, the operator can fill the measuring
system with a substitute liquid (e.g. with water).
Instrument State Fct. 1.2.
The instrument may be switched to a 'STANDBY' state. Once in this state, all outputs go to their off
state and the mass totaliser is frozen. The main display will have the STANDBY indicator set and will
display either the frozen totaliser or just STANDBY.

Whilst in this state the measuring tube still vibrates and the measurements can come back on line in
an instant.
There is an additional standby state, 'STOP', in this case the drive to the primary head is disabled and
vibrations cease. However, when leaving STOP the converter has to return to STARTUP before
measurements can resume.
The instrument can be switched to STANDBY or STOP either by the keys on the display or by the
control input signal (see section 5.4). STOP can only be set by the keys.

Note:
When changing from STOP into STANDBY the instrument will run through the STARTUP mode.
In addition to these 'standby' modes the SYSTEM CONTROL function provides a fully automated way
of switching to similar modes using either the density or temperature of the process fluid as a control
(see submenu 4.8).
Density Calibration Fct. 1.3
Calibrating the points can only be done when product is in the meter.
The two samples that the density has been calibrated at can be seen in the menu 1.3.1 for point 1 'DISP
PT 1' and 1.3.2 'DISP PT 2' for point 2.
If the product was air, pure water or town water then the product name will be displayed.
If the product type was 'other' the density will be shown in the units that the density was entered at
calibration time.
Factory Calibration
This enables the user to recall the factory calibration settings.
• Menu 1.3.5 FACTORY.SET
• Enter the menu
• Sure Yes/No
• Yes displays please wait while the calibration is restored.
• CALIB OK or CALIB FAIL is then displayed.
One Point Calibration
Menu 1.3.3 '1 POINT CAL' - This does not allow the user to decide which point to move; the converter
decides the most appropriate point to move. The user chooses the product type that is in the meter and
moves the best point.
The choices are Air, Pure water, Town water and Other.
If “Other” is selected, the product density needs to be entered. You can enter the density in any of the
normal density units.
If you select ‘pure water’, ‘air’ or ‘town water’ the density does not need to be entered.
Once selected PLEASE WAIT is displayed.
Density calibration should take about 1 second.
After this time the result of the calibration will be displayed.
CALIB OK - the point has been entered correctly.
To see which point has been changed go to menu 1.3.1 'DISP PT1' and 1.3.2 'DISP PT2'.
CALIB FAIL - the density calibration failed. There are a number of causes for this:
1. Not in measuring mode
2. The 2 points are too close
3. The 2 points fail a plausibility check
Normally a 1 point calibration is adequate for most density calibrations e.g. tailoring the density to the
new installation.
The 1 point calibration can be done twice, with two different products to achieve a 2 point calibration.
However, there is no guarantee that the first point is entered will not be moved when the second point is
entered. In this case, it is better to use the two point calibration method.
Two Point Calibration
This is when the user wants to enter 2 set points.
The 2 point calibration makes sure that the 2 points entered by the user are used.
Warning - 2 point calibration will restore the factory calibration data before calibrating the 1st point.

A connected counter will now count. Press ↵ to stop the counting. The meter display and counter should
have matching totals.
If the counter reads a smaller number than the actual number of pulses sent, or the frequency meter under
reads, then this indicates that a weak signal is reaching the frequency meter/pulse counter. In this case try
the following suggestions:
• Decrease the external pull-up resistor
• Decrease/remove the filter capacitor.
• Decrease the cable length between the converter and the counter.
• Add external buffers to boost the signal.
If the pulse counter reads a larger number than the converter, or if the frequency meter reading is high or
unstable, then this indicates the presence of external interference. Try one or more of the following:
• Add/increase the size of the filter capacitor. (10...100nF)
• Use high quality screened cable.
• Keep cable lengths as short as possible, avoiding high power equipment/switchgear and any cabling
connected to them.
• Use external buffers.
Testing the Frequency Output Fct. 2.6

Low Flow Cut Off Fct. 3.1.1
If the flow mode in (Fct. 3.1.3. is set to Flow +/- then at zero flow small signal fluctuations will average out
to nothing and the totaliser will remain static.
However, if ‘unidirectional’ flow is selected, this process will not work and the totaliser reading will
increment slowly with time. To prevent this, the Low Flow cut off should be set.
The Low Flow cut off is entered as a percentage of the rated nominal flow of the primary head. The cut off
may be set from 0 to 10% in increments of 0.1%. Thus for example a 7000 T25 (nominal flow 34500 kg/h
or 1250 lbs/min) with a low flow cut off of 0.2%, any flow less than 69kg/hr or 2.5 lb/min will indicate zero

Pressure Suppression Fct. 3.1.8 and 3.1.9
The Pressure Suppression feature eliminates any influences on the measurement result of sudden
termination of flow, such as when a valve is shut. When this occurs the propagation of pressure waves
along the pipe work and through the meter may produce an “Over-shoot” or “ringing” effect, where the flow
rate will oscillate backwards and forwards until it settles to a stable zero flow condition, as is indicated in
the diagram below. Typically this will only be noticeable on high pressure applications.
In most cases the amplitude of the ringing will be below the “Low Flow Threshold” and will therefore not
influence the result. In some cases however the amplitude of the ringing is above the Low Flow Threshold
and could contribute an error in the totaliser values.
The pressure suppression function eliminates this effect, by increasing the Low Flow Cutoff for a short
period of time, triggered when the flow first drops below the Low Flow Threshold.
For a set time period (set in Fct. 3.1.8) the pressure suppression threshold (set in Fct 3.1.9) is added to the
standard Low Flow Threshold (set in Fct. 3.1.1).
Settings of these parameters depend on actual process conditions and characteristics of the pipework and
so can only be determined by experimentation in-situ.

• Displays temperature in either °C or °F. The value should be stable.
• Value of strain in Ohms. The values should be in the range stated in the table in chapter 7.3.
Wildly unstable value even after temperature stabilisation: the strain gauge has possibly become
delaminated due to the meter being operated over maximum temperature for prolonged periods
of time (please contact KROHNE UK service department).
Frequency (menu 2.9.4):
• Variations in the first digit after the decimal point indicate gas or air in the fluid.
• Worn or eroded flow tube: frequency will increase by around 2...4 Hz meter requires re-calibration
• Coatings can also alter the frequency
• Large fluctuations are seen if the meter is in ‘Start Up’
Drive energy (Energy level/menu 2.9.5):
Typical values for the drive energy level with water as process fluid and no included air or gas are:
OPTIMASS 3000:
(7100)
OPTIMASS 7000 : 06...40
OPTIMASS 8000: all sizes: 0...5
OPTIMASS 9000: all sizes: 0...5
Higher drive energy levels can occur due to gas or air in the fluid or at the measurement of high viscous
fluids or fluids with high densities.

Zero Problems
• Perform auto zero, observe the displayed value, it should be stable and lower than +/- 0.5%
• If the result is bad:
Stop flow, set 3.1.1 Low flow cut off to 0, 3.1.3 Flow Mode to “+/-”, perform auto zero,
and totalise over 2 minutes. Compare totalised flow to specified zero stability.
For best process results, zero setting should be performed on process fluid at process temperature.
High Zero’s can be caused by: Leaking valves, Air/Gas inclusions, Coating on tube.
• The above data are provided as a rough guide only.
• Driver = White / Brown
• Sensor A = Orange / Black. Sensor B = Grey / Blue
• RTD = Red / Purple (108Ω at 20°C if PT100, 540Ω at 20°C if PT500). Compensation leg = Purple /

• Resistance values outside these values could indicate a circuit failure. Meter may be in start-up or have
measuring errors.
• All circuit should be isolated from ground (meter case) and each other: >20MΩ. If circuits are shorting
to ground, meter may be in start-up.
6.4 Replacing the Front End or Back End Electronics
If a failure occurs in one or the other of the above electronics, these can be easily replaced with the
minimum downtime. Please remember to disconnect or switch off the power supply to the meter when
performing these tasks. Please observe the waiting time for Hazardous area approved meters.
To make exchanging the components easy, a copy of the Front End calibration coefficients are stored in
the Back End as well. This facilitates the changes without the necessity of sensor calibration coefficients.
Note:
The following functions must only be performed by qualified personnel.
6.4.1 Replacing the Front End
• Please unscrew the four small screws holding the Front End in place (screws at the rear).
• Take care when removing to ensure that the connections are not damaged.
• Do not lose the gasket.
• Replace with new Front End electronics, ensuring that the gasket is well positioned and the
connections have mated correctly.
• Do not force the connectors.
• Tighten securely.
• It is recommended that some locktite or similar compound is used for the screws.
