Topics covered in this chapter:
Power up the transmitter
•
Check flowmeter status
•
Make a startup connection to the transmitter
•
Characterize the flowmeter (if required)
•
Verify mass flow measurement
•
Verify the zero
•
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
2.2
CAUTION!
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. During this period,
Alarm 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 alarm condition is present.
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 is 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.
Check flowmeter status
Check the flowmeter for any error conditions that require user action or that affect
measurement accuracy.
Configuration and Use Manual 5
Quick start
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, Alarm A009 is active.
This alarm should clear automatically when the power-up sequence is complete.
2. Check the status LED on the transmitter.
Transmitter status reported by status LEDTable 2-1:

and have been acknowledged.
A low-severity alarm condition does not affect
measurement accuracy or output behavior.
You can continue with configuration or process measurement. If you choose, you can identify and resolve the alarm condition.
A low-severity alarm condition does not affect
measurement accuracy or output behavior.
You can continue with configuration or process measurement. If you choose, you can identify and resolve the alarm condition. You may
also acknowledge the alarm.
A high-severity alarm condition affects measurement accuracy and output behavior. Resolve the alarm condition before continuing.
Postrequisites
For information on viewing the list of active alarms, see Section 8.3.
For information on individual alarms and suggested resolutions, see Section 10.2.
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.

Postrequisites
(Optional) Change the communications parameters to site-specific values.
To change the communications parameters using ProLink II:
• To change the protocol, baud rate, parity, or stop bits, choose ProLink > Configuration >
RS-485.
• To change the address, choose ProLink > Configuration > Device.
To change the communications parameters using the Field Communicator, choose On-Line
Menu > Configure > Manual Setup > Inputs/Outputs > Communications.
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.
2.4 Characterize the flowmeter (if required)
Display

Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Characterize
Overview
Characterizing the flowmeter adjusts your transmitter to match the unique traits of the
sensor it is paired with. The characterization parameters (also called calibration
parameters) describe the sensor’s sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature.
Depending on your sensor type, different parameters are required. Values for your sensor
are provided by Micro Motion on the sensor tag or the calibration certificate.
Tip
If your flowmeter was ordered as a unit, it has already been characterized at the factory. However,
you should still verify the characterization parameters.
Procedure
1. Specify Sensor Type.
Not available
• Straight-tube (T-Series)
• Curved-tube (all sensors except T-Series)
Configuration and Use Manual 7
Quick start
2. Set the flow characterization parameters. Be sure to include all decimal points.
• For straight-tube sensors, set FCF (Flow Cal or Flow Calibration Factor), FTG, and FFQ.
• For curved-tube sensors, set Flow Cal (Flow Calibration Factor).
3. Set the density characterization parameters.
• For straight-tube sensors, set D1, D2, DT, DTG, K1, K2, FD, DFQ1, and DFQ2.
• For curved-tube sensors, set D1, D2, TC, K1, K2, and FD. (TC is sometimes shown
as DT.)

2.4.2 Flow calibration parameters (FCF, FT)
Two separate values are used to describe flow calibration: a 6-character FCF value and a 4character FT value. They are provided on the sensor tag.
Both values contain decimal points. During characterization, these may be entered as two
values or as a single 10-character string. The 10-character string is called either Flowcal or
FCF.
If your sensor tag shows the FCF and the FT values separately and you need to enter a
single value, concatenate the two values to form the single parameter value.
If your sensor tag shows a concatenated Flowcal or FCF value and you need to enter the FCF
and the FT values separately, split the concatenated value:
• FCF = The first 6 characters, including the decimal point
• FT = The last 4 characters, including the decimal point
Configuration and Use Manual 9
Quick start
Example: Concatenating FCF and FT
FCF = x.xxxx
FT = y.yy
Flow calibration parameter: x.xxxxy.yy
Example: Splitting the concatenated Flowcal or FCF value
Flow calibration parameter: x.xxxxy.yy
FCF = x.xxxx
FT = y.yy
2.4.3 Density calibration parameters (D1, D2, K1, K2, FD, DT, TC)
Density calibration parameters are typically on the sensor tag and the calibration
certificate.
If your sensor tag does not show a D1 or D2 value:
• For D1, enter the Dens A or D1 value from the calibration certificate. This value is the
line-condition density of the low-density calibration fluid. Micro Motion uses air. If
you cannot find a Dens A or D1 value, enter 0.001 g/cm3.
2.5
• For D2, enter the Dens B or D2 value from the calibration certificate. This value is the
line-condition density of the high-density calibration fluid. Micro Motion uses water.
If you cannot find a Dens B or D2 value, enter 0.998 g/cm3.
If your sensor tag does not show a K1 or K2 value:
• For K1, enter the first 5 digits of the density calibration factor. In the sample tag, this
value is shown as 12500.
• For K2, enter the second 5 digits of the density calibration factor. In the sample tag,
this value is shown as 14286.
If your sensor does not show an FD value, contact Micro Motion customer service.
If your sensor tag does not show a DT or TC value, enter the last 3 digits of the density
calibration factor. In the sample tag, this value is shown as 4.44.
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 II and read the value for Mass Flow Rate in the
Process Variables window (ProLink > Process Variables).
• Connect to the transmitter with the Field Communicator and read the value for Mass
Flow Rate in the Process Variables menu (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. See
Section 10.3.
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.
2.6.1 Verify the zero using ProLink II
Quick start
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.
Important
In most cases, the factory zero is more accurate than the field zero. Do not zero the flowmeter unless
one of the following is true:
• The zero is required by site procedures.
• The stored zero value fails the zero verification procedure.
Prerequisites
ProLink II v2.94 or later
Important
Do not verify the zero or zero the flowmeter if a high-severity alarm is active. Correct the problem,
then verify the zero or zero the flowmeter. You may verify the zero or zero the flowmeter if a lowseverity alarm is active.
Procedure
1. Prepare the flowmeter:
a. Allow the flowmeter to warm up for at least 20 minutes after applying power.
b. Run the process fluid through the sensor until the sensor temperature reaches
the normal process operating temperature.
c. Stop flow through the sensor by shutting the downstream valve, and then the
upstream valve if available.
Configuration and Use Manual 11
Quick start
d. Verify that the sensor is blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that the sensor is
completely full of process fluid.
2. Choose ProLink > Calibration > Zero Verification and Calibration > Verify Zero and wait until
the procedure completes.
3. If the zero verification procedure fails:
a. Confirm that the sensor is completely blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that
the sensor is completely full of process fluid.
b. Verify that the process fluid is not flashing or condensing, and that it does not
contain particles that can settle out.
c. Repeat the zero verification procedure.
d. If it fails again, zero the flowmeter.
For instructions on zeroing the flowmeter, see Zero the flowmeter.
Postrequisites
Restore normal flow through the sensor by opening the valves.
2.6.2 Terminology used with zero verification and zero
calibration
Terminology used with zero verification and zero calibrationTable 2-2:
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 factory.
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 proce-
dure. 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 ap-
plied. 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.

Overview
By default, access to the off-line menu of the display is enabled. If it is disabled, you must
enable it if you want to use the display to configure the transmitter.
Restriction
You cannot use the display to enable access to the off-line menu. You must make a connection from
another tool.

Overview
If the transmitter is write-protected, the configuration is locked and you must unlock it
before you can change any configuration parameters. By default, the transmitter is not
write-protected.
Tip
Write-protecting the transmitter prevents accidental changes to configuration. It does not prevent
normal operational use. You can always disable write-protection, perform any required configuration
changes, then re-enable write-protection.
HART security
HART security may be enabled on your transmitter. To configure the transmitter using
HART protocol, you must disable HART security.
