6.2 Zero calibration (menu C1.1.1)
Following installation, perform zero calibration prior to commissioning the device. Finalise the
installation before performing zero calibration. Changes (pipe system or calibration factor) made
after the zero calibration may affect the accuracy, making it necessary to perform zero
calibration again.
Observe the following for reliable zero calibration:
• The measuring sensor should be completely filled with the product at the expected process
pressure and temperature.
• The product may contain no air or gas, especially when it comes to horizontal installations.
Prior to zero calibration, it is recommended that the product be flushed at a high flow rate
(>50%), for 2 minutes.
• After flushing, re-establish zero flow by closing off the corresponding valves.
Set zero calibration automatically or manually using the operating controls. The converter cover
must be installed on the display for automatic calibration.

Storing the displayed zero calibration.
Under certain conditions, zero calibration is not possible and will be cancelled:
• The product is still flowing. The shut-off valves are not closed tightly enough.
• There are still gas bubbles in the measuring sensor.
Remedy: Flush measuring sensor and repeat calibration
With some media, it may be difficult to perform zero calibration. In such cases, there are various
methods to still achieve good zero calibration:
Medium Possible solutions
Media that tend to evaporate or outgas Increase pressure.
Two-phase media (slurries), that contain solids that
may fall out.
Two-phase media in which the solids or gasforming components cannot be separated.
Only fill the measuring sensor with the carrier
medium.
Fill measuring sensor with another liquid, e.g.
water.

The device can be switched to "Standby". In this mode, all flow values are set to zero and the
counter values are "frozen". The temperature and density values are displayed normally and
output via the outputs. The "Standby" indicator on the display shows either the "frozen" counter
value or simply "Standby". In this mode, the measuring tubes continue to vibrate and the device
can immediately return to "Measuring" mode if necessary.
There is also a "Stop" mode. In this mode, the measuring sensor is switched off and is no longer
vibrating. To return to measuring mode from this mode, the measuring device must

The measuring device can be switched into "Standby" mode either using the operating keys on
the display or using the control input. You can only switch to "Stop" mode using the operating
keys.

In addition to the "Standby" mode, the system control function also allows you to switch to a
comparable "Standby" status completely automatically depending on the current operating

6.5.4 Density calibration (menu C1.2.1)
Mass flowmeters are calibrated for density in the factory. Density calibration is based on 2
calibration points. In the factory, air and water are used under reference conditions. The result
of this calibration is saved in the converter electronics and stored in the factory settings.
Regardless, various applications require maximum accuracy which can only be achieved with
on-site calibration.
Available options:

OPERATION 6
On-site density calibration:
• Ensure that the device has been properly installed and functions smoothly.
• If air (empty) is used as the medium, the measuring tube must be completely dry and free of
liquids and solids. If possible, blow dry air into the measuring tube to empty it.
• If liquids are used, flush for a few minutes at a high flow rate to remove gas bubbles.
• Set the flow rate to a typical value (50% of the nominal flow is ideal).
• If the process temperature is higher than the ambient temperature, wait until the system has
stabilised.
• When it comes to 1 point and 2 point calibration, you can choose from the options "empty",
"pure water", "town water" and "other". The reference values for the specified products are
stored in the converter.
Density calibration has failed if "Density Calib. Error" is displayed. The reason for the error may
be indicated on the display. Possible reasons for failed density calibration:
• The device is not in "Measuring" mode.
• The calibration points are too close together.
• One or more calibration points did not pass the plausibility test.
• Flow, pressure, temperature or system are not stable?
• Please check your system and try again.
• If this results in another failed calibration, please contact the manufacturer.
1 Point Calibration
• See examples for "Calibration with town water and other".
• Select the function using ↓ and ↑ and then confirm with ^.
• If "Other" is selected, the product density must be entered.
• 1 point calibration is generally sufficient for most applications, such as adapting the density
measurement to a new installation.
• Make sure that prior to calibrating the 2nd point that 1 point calibration was carried out and
that the result was saved with the dialog "Save Configuration?".
2 Point Calibration
• In this case, both reference points are recalibrated (with the products of the system).
• With 2 point calibration, ensure that both calibration points entered by the user are accepted.
If the 2nd point cannot be calibrated immediately after the first one, because the 2nd product is
not yet available, the device continues to function normally as after the 1 point calibration. In
other words, there can be weeks or even months between the calibration of the two measuring
points.

6.5.10 Pressure suppression
The pressure suppression eliminates any disruption in the measurement in the event of an
abrupt flow switch-off e.g. when valves are suddenly closed. In such cases, surges may occur in
the pipe and in the measuring device which could lead to over-vibration. The flow then "swings"
back and forth before a stable zero flow is established, as shown in the figure below. This effect
occurs mainly in high pressure applications.

97
6 OPERATION
In most cases, the amplitude of this vibration is below the low flow cutoff and thus does not affect
the measurement. In very few cases, the amplitude is greater than the low flow cutoff (overvibration) and can cause errors with the counter values.
MFC 400
Figure 6-9: Amplitude behaviour
1 Low flow cutoff
2 Low flow cutoff
3 Pressure suppression
4 Pressure suppression
The pressure suppression function eliminates this effect by activating a larger low flow cutoff
level for a short period of time. The pressure suppression is activated when the flow falls below
the standard low flow cutoff level for the first time. For a programmable period of time, (can be
programmed in menu C1.3.2), the pressure suppression threshold is added to the standard low
flow threshold (can be set in menu C1.3.3).
The optimal setting values for pressure suppression depend on the current operating conditions
and can thus only be determined on-site through testing.

6.5.12 2 Ph. Threshold (menu C1.5.3)
The threshold for the 2 phase signal can be set in this menu item. This makes it possible to
output a status signal indicating the presence of gas bubbles in the process. There are no default
values for this threshold. This means that the operator must adapt this value to suit his
application. This can be done, for example, by programming the 2 phase signal at the current
output and registering which threshold makes sense for the respective process for a certain
time period.
