•
2.1 Power up the transmitter
The transmitter must be powered up for all configuration and commissioning tasks, or for
process measurement.
1. Ensure that all transmitter and sensor covers and seals are closed.
Quick start
DANGER!
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, ensure that all covers
and seals are tightly closed. For hazardous area installations, applying power while
housing covers are removed or loose can cause an explosion.
2. Turn on the electrical power at the power supply.
The transmitter will automatically perform diagnostic routines. The transmitter is
self-switching and will automatically detect the supply voltage. When using DC
power, a minimum of 1.5 amps of startup current is required. During this period,
Alert 009 is active. The diagnostic routines should complete in approximately
30 seconds. For transmitters with a display, the status LED will turn green and begin
to flash when the startup diagnostics are complete. If the status LED exhibits
different behavior, an alert is active.
Postrequisites
Although the sensor is ready to receive process fluid shortly after power-up, the electronics
can take up to 10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium. Therefore, if this is the initial
startup, or if power has been off long enough to allow components to reach ambient
temperature, allow the electronics to warm up for approximately 10 minutes before
relying on process measurements. During this warm-up period, you may observe minor
measurement instability or inaccuracy.
Configuration and Use Manual 5
Quick start
2.2 Check meter status
Check the meter for any error conditions that require user action or that affect
measurement accuracy.
1. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the power-up sequence to complete.
Immediately after power-up, the transmitter runs through diagnostic routines and
checks for error conditions. During the power-up sequence, Alert A009 is active.
This alert should clear automatically when the power-up sequence is complete.
2. Check the status LED on the transmitter.

Quick start
2.3 Make a startup connection to the transmitter
For all configuration tools except the display, you must have an active connection to the
transmitter to configure the transmitter. Follow this procedure to make your first
connection to the transmitter.
Identify the connection type to use, and follow the instructions for that connection type in
the appropriate appendix. Use the default communications parameters shown in the
appendix.
Communications tool Connection type to use Instructions
ProLink III HART/RS-485
Modbus/RS-485
Service port
Field Communicator HART/Bell 202 Appendix C
Appendix B
2.4 (Optional) Adjust digital communications settings
Change the communications parameters to site-specific values.
Important
If you are changing communications parameters for the connection type that you are using, you will
lose the connection when you write the parameters to the transmitter. Reconnect using the new
parameters.
Procedure
1. To change the communications parameters using ProLink III, choose Device Tools >
Configuration > Communications.
2. To change the communications parameters using the Field Communicator, choose
On-Line Menu > Configure > Manual Setup > Inputs/Outputs > Communications.
2.5
Verify mass flow measurement
Check to see that the mass flow rate reported by the transmitter is accurate. You can use
any available method.
• Read the value for Mass Flow Rate on the transmitter display.
• Connect to the transmitter with ProLink III and read the value for Mass Flow Rate in
the Process Variables panel.
• Connect to the transmitter with the Field Communicator and read the value for Mass
Flow Rate.
Configuration and Use Manual 7
Quick start
On-Line Menu > Overview > Primary Purpose Variables
Postrequisites
If the reported mass flow rate is not accurate:
• Check the characterization parameters.
• Review the troubleshooting suggestions for flow measurement issues.
2.6 Verify the zero
Verifying the zero helps you determine if the stored zero value is appropriate to your
installation, or if a field zero can improve measurement accuracy.
The zero verification procedure analyzes the Live Zero value under conditions of zero flow,
and compares it to the Zero Stability range for the sensor. If the average Live Zero value is
within a reasonable range, the zero value stored in the transmitter is valid. Performing a
field calibration will not improve measurement accuracy.
Important
In most cases, the factory zero is more accurate than the field zero. Do not zero the meter unless one
of the following is true:
• The zero is required by site procedures.
• The stored zero value fails the zero verification procedure.
Procedure
1. Allow the flowmeter to warm up for at least 20 minutes after applying power.
2. Run the process fluid through the sensor until the sensor temperature reaches the
normal process operating temperature.
3. Stop flow through the sensor by shutting the downstream valve, and then the
upstream valve if available.
4. Verify that the sensor is blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that the sensor is
completely full of process fluid.
5. From ProLink III, choose Device Tools > Calibration > Zero Verification and
Calibration > Verify Zero and wait until the procedure completes.
6. Observe the drive gain, temperature, and density readings. If they are stable, check
the Live Zero or Field Verification Zero value. If the average value is close to 0, you
should not need to zero the meter.
7. If the zero verification procedure fails:

2.6.1 Terminology used with zero verification and zero calibration
Term Definition
Zero In general, the offset required to synchronize the left pickoff and the right
pickoff under conditions of zero flow. Unit = microseconds.
Factory Zero The zero value obtained at the factory, under laboratory conditions.
Field Zero The zero value obtained by performing a zero calibration outside the fac-
tory.
Prior Zero The zero value stored in the transmitter at the time a field zero calibration
is begun. May be the factory zero or a previous field zero.
Manual Zero The zero value stored in the transmitter, typically obtained from a zero
calibration procedure. It may also be configured manually. Also called
“mechanical zero” or “stored zero”.
Live Zero The real-time bidirectional mass flow rate with no flow damping or mass
flow cutoff applied. An adaptive damping value is applied only when the
mass flow rate changes dramatically over a very short interval. Unit = configured mass flow measurement unit.
Zero Stability A laboratory-derived value used to calculate the expected accuracy for a
sensor. Under laboratory conditions at zero flow, the average flow rate is
expected to fall within the range defined by the Zero Stability value (0 ±
Zero Stability). Each sensor size and model has a unique Zero Stability value. Statistically, 95% of all data points should fall within the range defined
by the Zero Stability value.
Zero Calibration The procedure used to determine the zero value.
Zero Time The time period over which the Zero Calibration procedure is performed.
Unit = seconds.
Field Verification Zero A 3-minute running average of the Live Zero value, calculated by the
transmitter. Unit = configured mass flow measurement unit.
Zero Verification A procedure used to evaluate the stored zero and determine whether or
not a field zero can improve measurement accuracy.

Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Measurements > Special Units > Mass Special Units
Overview
A special measurement unit is a user-defined unit of measure that allows you to report
process data, totalizer data, and inventory data in a unit that is not available in the
transmitter. A special measurement unit is calculated from an existing measurement unit
using a conversion factor.
Note
Although you cannot define a special measurement unit using the display, you can use the display to
select an existing special measurement unit, and to view process data using the special
measurement unit.
Procedure
1. Specify Base Mass Unit.
Base Mass Unit is the existing mass unit that the special unit will be based on.
2. Specify Base Time Unit.
Base Time Unit is the existing time unit that the special unit will be based on.
3. Calculate Mass Flow Conversion Factor as follows:
a. x base units = y special units
b. Mass Flow Conversion Factor = x ÷ y
The original mass flow rate value is divided by this value.
4. Enter Mass Flow Conversion Factor.
5. Set Mass Flow Label to the name you want to use for the mass flow unit.
6. Set Mass Total Label to the name you want to use for the mass total and mass
inventory unit.
The special measurement unit is stored in the transmitter. You can configure the
transmitter to use the special measurement unit at any time.
Example: Defining a special measurement unit for mass flow
You want to measure mass flow in ounces per second (oz/sec).
1. Set Base Mass Unit to Pounds (lb).
2. Set Base Time Unit to Seconds (sec).
3. Calculate Mass Flow Conversion Factor:
Configuration and Use Manual 19
Configure process measurement
a. 1 lb/sec = 16 oz/sec
b. Mass Flow Conversion Factor = 1 ÷ 16 = 0.0625
4. Set Mass Flow Conversion Factor to 0.0625.
5. Set Mass Flow Label to oz/sec.
6. Set Mass Total Label to oz.
4.1.2 Configure Flow Damping
Display Not available
ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > Process Measurement > Flow
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Measurements > Flow > Flow Damping
Overview
Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement.
Damping Value specifies the time period (in seconds) over which the transmitter will
spread changes in the process variable. At the end of the interval, the internal value will
reflect 63% of the change in the actual measured value.
Procedure
Set Flow Damping to the value you want to use.
The default value is 0.8 seconds. The range depends on the core processor type and the
setting of Update Rate, as shown in the following table.
Update Rate setting
Normal
Special
Damping range
0 to 51.2 seconds
0 to 40.96 seconds
The value you enter is automatically rounded off to the nearest valid value. For example, if
the damping is currently set to 0.8 seconds, any value entered up to 1.2 seconds will be
rounded down to 0.8 seconds, and any value entered from 1.21 to 1.59 seconds will be
rounded up to 1.6 seconds.

20 Micro Motion Model 1700 Transmitters with Analog Outputs
Effect of flow damping on volume measurement
Flow damping affects volume measurement for liquid volume data. Flow damping also
affects volume measurement for gas standard volume data. The transmitter calculates
volume data from the damped mass flow data.
Interaction between Flow Damping and mA Output Damping
In some circumstances, both Flow Damping and mA Output Damping are applied to the
reported mass flow value.
Flow Damping controls the rate of change in flow process variables. mA Output Damping
controls the rate of change reported via the mA Output. If mA Output Process Variable is
set to Mass Flow Rate, and both Flow Damping and mA Output Damping are set to non-zero
values, flow damping is applied first, and the added damping calculation is applied to the
result of the first calculation.
4.1.3 Configure Mass Flow Cutoff
Configure process measurement
Display Not available
ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > Process Measurement > Flow
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Measurements > Flow > Mass Flow Cutoff
Overview
Mass Flow Cutoff specifies the lowest mass flow rate that will be reported as measured. All
mass flow rates below this cutoff will be reported as 0.
Procedure
Set Mass Flow Cutoff to the value you want to use.
The default value for Mass Flow Cutoff is 0.0 g/sec or a sensor-specific value set at the
factory. The recommended value is 0.5% of the nominal flow rate of the attached sensor.
See the sensor specifications. Leaving Mass Flow Cutoff at 0.0 g/sec is not recommended.
Effect of Mass Flow Cutoff on volume measurement
Mass Flow Cutoff does not affect volume measurement. Volume data is calculated from
the actual mass data rather than the reported value.
Volume flow has a separate Volume Flow Cutoff that is not affected by the Mass Flow
Cutoff value.
Configuration and Use Manual 21
Configure process measurement
Interaction between Mass Flow Cutoff and mA Output Cutoff
Mass Flow Cutoff defines the lowest mass flow value that the transmitter will report as
measured. mA Output Cutoff defines the lowest flow rate that will be reported via the mA
output. If mA Output Process Variable is set to Mass Flow Rate, the mass flow rate reported
via the mA Output is controlled by the higher of the two cutoff values.
Mass Flow Cutoff affects all reported values and values used in other transmitter behavior
(e.g., events defined on mass flow).
mA Output Cutoff affects only mass flow values reported via the mA Output.
Example: Cutoff interaction with mA Output Cutoff lower than Mass Flow Cutoff
Configuration:
• mA Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• Frequency Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• mA Output Cutoff: 10 g/sec
• Mass Flow Cutoff: 15 g/sec
4.2
Result: If the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec, mass flow will be reported as 0, and 0
will be used in all internal processing.
Example: Cutoff interaction with mA Output Cutoff higher than Mass Flow Cutoff
Configuration:
• mA Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• Frequency Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• mA Output Cutoff: 15 g/sec
• Mass Flow Cutoff: 10 g/sec
Result:
• If the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec but not below 10 g/sec:
- The mA Output will report zero flow.
- The Frequency Output will report the actual flow rate, and the actual flow rate
will be used in all internal processing.
• If the mass flow rate drops below 10 g/sec, both outputs will report zero flow, and 0
will be used in all internal processing.
Configure volume flow measurement for liquid applications
The volume flow measurement parameters control how liquid volume flow is measured
and reported.
