Micro Motion®Model 9739
Transmitters with MVD

Micro Motion®Model 9739 transmitters with MVD™technology deliver
powerful features that make managing your process easier.

Technology

Advanced digital signal processing in a robust, proven design

• Robust housing and power options ideally suited for truck-mounted
applications

• Same form factor as legacy Micro Motion RFT9739 transmitters for
quick, easy replacement

• Significantly improved performance—such as in accuracy and
turndown—compared to the legacy analog RFT9739

Wide variety of I/O and application capabilities to fit your needs

• High-speed DSP for accuracy under the toughest conditions—high
noise, high turndown, and more

• Concentration and net flow measurement eliminates the need for
additional instruments

• Petroleum measurement software automatically provides
temperature corrected volumes from a single instrument

Micro Motion®Model 9739 transmitters with MVD technology

Micro Motion®9739 MVD transmittersand controllers utilizeMVD technology to deliver accurate, high-speed
multivariable signals. Micro Motion transmitters are available with the following communication protocols:
4–20 mA, HART
process information you need in a format that works for your installation. Micro Motion transmitters also
carry advanced diagnostic tools allowing you to rest easy knowing your process is being monitored correctly.

®

, Wireless HART™, and Modbus®. That means you will always be able to receive the

MVD technology. MVD technology makes your

Micro Motion meter work smarter. Front-end digital
processing dramatically reduces signal noise and
gives you faster response time compared to analog
devices.

Only MVD technology allows you to:

• Measure multiple variables for accurate process
control

• Identify and resolve problems easily with built-in
smart diagnostics

• Upgrade transmitter functionality as needed

Model 9739 transmitter with MVD technology. The

Micro Motion Model 9739 transmitter with MVD
technology (or 9739 MVD) allows you to have
advanced digital signal processing in a convenient
wall- or pipe-mounted package, and can be used in
custody transfer applications. With its single front
access compartment, you can wire the transmitter
easily from one main location.

The 9739 MVD transmitter is ideal for truck­mounted applications with its robust packaging and
ability to accept as low as 12VDC power.

Concentration measurement is easy with the
9739 MVD transmitter, too.You input the

concentration curves, and the multivariable
transmitter can output mass flow, volume flow,
density, temperature, concentration, and more.

Petroleum measurement is also available, and
enables the correction for the effect of temperature
on liquid volumes.This application calculates and
applies a volume correction factor to volume
measurement.

You can pair the 9739 MVD transmitter with the

information without added wiring costs.

Adapter, allowing you to

Upgrading your RFT9739 transmitter. Because the

9739 MVD transmitter has the same installation
requirements as the legacy RFT9739 transmitter,
replacing a currently installed RFT9739 transmitter
with a new9739 MVD transmitter couldn’t be easier.

Additionally, Micro Motion offers a 9739 MVD
electronics module retrofit kit that allows you to
upgrade existing RFT9739 transmitters to use
MVD technology. The 9739 MVD electronics
module has the same I/O capabilities as the
RFT9739, so no rewiring is necessary to upgrade.
And, because the retrofit requires that you use the
currently installed transmitter housing base, the
existing conduit connections are completely

Applications

Concentration measurement Provides concentration measurement based on either industry-specific or liquid-specific units

and relationships. Standard measurement options include:

• Industry specific:

- °Brix

- °Plato

- °Balling

- °Baumé at SG60/60

- Specific gravity

• Liquid specific:

- %HFCS

- Concentration derived from reference density

- Concentration derived from specific gravity
Additionally, the application can be customized for site-specific concentration measurement
(such as %HNO

Petroleum measurement Provides process variables, such as temperature-corrected volume flow and API average

density, calculated using the American Petroleum Institute (API) equations, specifically
tables 5A, 5B, 5D, 6C, 23A, 23B, 23D, 24C, 53A, 53B, 53D,and 54C.
