8 Micro Motion 5700 Transmitters with Intrinsically Safe Outputs
Configuration and Use Manual Quick start
MMI-20039472 June 2021
2 Quick start
2.1 Power up the transmitter
The transmitter must be powered up for all configuration and commissioning tasks, or for process
measurement.
Procedure
1. Follow appropriate procedures to ensure that a new device in the control system does not interfere
with existing measurement and control loops.
2. Verify that the cables are connected to the transmitter as described in the installation manual.
3. Verify that all transmitter and sensor covers and seals are closed.
WARNING
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 resulting in injury or death.
4. Turn on the electrical power at the power supply.
The transmitter will automatically perform diagnostic routines. During this period, the Transmitter
Initializing alert is active. The diagnostic routines should complete in approximately 30 seconds.
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.
2.2 Check meter status
Check the meter for any error conditions that require user action or that affect measurement accuracy.
Procedure
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, the Transmitter Initializing alert is active. This
alert should clear automatically when the power-up sequence is complete.
2. Check the status LED on the transmitter.
Table 2-1: Status LED and device status

dates in the system. You can set the clock for your local time or for any standard time you want to use.
Tip
You may find it convenient to set all of your transmitter clocks to the same time, even if the transmitters are
in different time zones.
Procedure
1. Select the time zone that you want to use.
2. If you need a custom time zone, select Special Time Zone and enter your time zone as a difference
from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
3. Set the time appropriately for the selected time zone.
Tip
The transmitter does not adjust for Daylight Savings Time. If you observe Daylight Savings Time, you
must reset the transmitter clock manually.

Characterizing the meter 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 on the sensor tag or the calibration certificate.
• If your transmitter was ordered with a sensor, it was characterized at the factory. However, you should still
verify the characterization parameters.
• Perform a characterization whenever you replace a core processor.
Procedure
1. Optional: Specify Sensor Type.
• Straight Tube (T-Series sensors)
• Curved Tube (all sensors except T-Series)
Note
Unlike earlier transmitters, the 5700 derives Sensor Type from the user-specified values for FCF and K1
in combination with an internal ID.
2. Set the flow calibration factor: FCF (also called Flow Cal or Flow Calibration Factor). Be sure to include
all decimal points.
3. Set the density characterization parameters: D1, D2, TC, K1, K2, and FD. (TC is sometimes shown as
DT.)
4. Apply the changes as required by the tool you are using.
The transmitter identifies your sensor type, and characterization parameters are adjusted as required:
• If Sensor Type changed from Curved Tube to Straight Tube, five characterization parameters are
added to the list.
• If Sensor Type changed from Straight Tube to Curved Tube, five characterization parameters are
removed from the list.
• If Sensor Type did not change, the list of characterization parameters does not change.
5. T-Series sensors only: Set the additional characterization parameters listed below.

2.8.1 Sample sensor tags
Figure 2-1: Tag on newer curved-tube sensors (all sensors except T-Series)
2.8.2 Flow calibration parameters (FCF, FT)
Two separate values are used to describe flow calibration: a 6-character FCF value and a 4-character FT value.
They are provided on the sensor tag.
Both values contain decimal points. During characterization, these are entered 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, retaining both decimal points.
Concatenating FCF and FT
FCF = x.xxxx FT = y.yy Flow calibration parameter: x.xxxxy.yy
2.8.3 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.
• 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 five digits of the density calibration factor. In this sample tag, this value is shown as
12500.
• For K2, enter the second five digits of the density calibration factor. In this sample tag, this value is shown
as 14286.

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 meter unless one of the
following is true:
• The zero is required by site procedures.
• The stored zero value fails the zero verification procedure.
Do not verify the zero or zero the meter if a high-severity alert is active. Correct the problem, then verify the
zero or zero the meter. You may verify the zero or zero the meter if a low-severity alert is active.
Procedure
1. Prepare the meter:
a) Allow the meter 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.
d) Verify that the sensor is blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that the sensor is completely full
of process fluid.
2. Start the zero verification procedure, and wait until it 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 meter.
Postrequisites
Restore normal flow through the sensor by opening the valves.

3 Introduction to configuration and commissioning
3.1 Security and write protection
The transmitter has several features that can help to protect it against intentional or unintentional access and
configuration changes.
• When locked, the mechanical lock switch on the front of the display prevents any configuration changes
to the transmitter from any local or remote configuration tool. A transmitter without a display does not
have a lock switch.
• When enabled, the software setting Write Protection prevents any configuration changes. The setting
can only be enabled if the transmitter does not have a display.
• If the Universal Service Port (USP) is disabled, the port cannot be used by any service tool to communicate
with or make changes to the transmitter.
• When used, the HART Lock prevents any changes by any other HART master.
• When enabled, Security prevents any configuration changes being made from the display unless the
appropriate password is entered.
3.1.1 Universal Service Port security
This transmitter is equipped with a Universal Service Port that works with USB type A connections, including
compatible flash drives. There are multiple levels of security built into the transmitter's service port that you
can configure according to your needs and security standards.
The service port offers the following features that enhance interface security:
• The service port is inaccessible without physical access to the transmitter and requires removal of the
terminal cover
• The service port can be disabled from the transmitter through software
• The transmitter has a non-traditional operating system that is not designed to execute programs or run
scripts
• The display can be password protected to limit access to the USB file menu
• Overall transmitter security switches such as the lock switch or write-protection disallows configuration
changes from all interfaces including the Universal Service Port
This transmitter:
• Was designed to be implemented in an industrial automation control system (Level 1 and Level 2 of the
Purdue Reference Architecture Model), with defense in depth security controls
• Is not intended to be directly connected to an enterprise or to an internet-facing network without a
compensating control in place

3.1.2 Lock or unlock the transmitter
If the transmitter has a display, a mechanical switch on the display can be used to lock or unlock the
transmitter. When locked, no configuration changes can be made using any configuration tool.
Figure 3-1: Lock switch on transmitter display
You can determine whether you need to lock or unlock the transmitter by looking at the switch.
• If the switch is in the right position, the transmitter is locked.
• If the switch is in the left position, the transmitter is unlocked.

installed backwards.
Sensor Flow Direction Arrow interacts with mA Output Direction, Frequency Output Direction, and
Totalizer Direction to control how flow is reported by the outputs and accumulated by the totalizers and
inventories.
The Sensor Flow Direction Arrow also affects how flow is reported on the transmitter display and via digital
communications. This includes ProLink III, a field communicator, and all other user interfaces.

4.2.2 Configure Flow Damping
Display
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow → Flow Rate Damping
Field communicator Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Flow → Flow Damping
Flow Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to the measured mass flow rate. It affects
flow rate process variables that are based on the measured mass flow rate. This includes volume flow rate and
gas standard volume flow rate.
Flow Damping also affects specialized flow rate variables such as temperature-corrected volume flow rate
(API Referral) and net mass flow rate (concentration measurement).
Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. The 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 of the process variable (the damped value) will reflect 63% of the
change in the actual measured value.
Procedure
Set Flow Damping to the value you want to use.
• Default: 0.64 seconds
Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow Variables → Flow Damping
• Range: 0 seconds to 60 seconds
Note
If a number greater than 60 is entered, it is automatically changed to 60.
32 Micro Motion 5700 Transmitters with Intrinsically Safe Outputs
Configuration and Use Manual Configure process measurement
MMI-20039472 June 2021
Tip
• A high damping value makes the process variable appear smoother because the reported value changes
slowly.
• A low damping value makes the process variable appear more erratic because the reported value changes
more quickly.
• The combination of a high damping value and rapid, large changes in flow rate can result in increased
measurement error.
• Whenever the damping value is non-zero, the reported measurement will lag the actual measurement
because the reported value is being averaged over time.
• In general, lower damping values are preferable because there is less chance of data loss, and less lag time
between the actual measurement and the reported value.
• The transmitter automatically rounds off any entered damping value to the nearest valid value. Therefore,
the recommended damping value for gas applications should be 3.2 seconds. If you enter 2.56, the
transmitter will round it off to 3.2.
• For filling applications, Micro Motion recommends using the default value of 0.04 seconds.
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.
4.2.3 Configure Mass Flow Cutoff
Display
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow → Mass Flow Cutoff
Field communicator Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Flow → Mass Flow Cutoff
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.
Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow Variables → Mass Flow Settings → Low Flow
Cutoff
Procedure
Set Mass Flow Cutoff to the value you want to use.
• Default: A sensor-specific value set at the factory. If your transmitter was ordered without a sensor, the
default may be 0.0.
Configuration and Use Manual 33
Configure process measurement Configuration and Use Manual
June 2021 MMI-20039472
• Recommendation: 0.5% of maximum flow rate of the attached sensor. See the sensor specifications.
Important
Do not use your meter for measurement with Mass Flow Cutoff set to 0.0 g/sec. Ensure that Mass Flow
Cutoff is set to the value that is appropriate for your sensor.
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.
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

the two cutoff values.
Mass Flow Cutoff affects all reported values and values used in other transmitter behavior (e.g., events

Volume Flow Cutoff specifies the lowest volume flow rate that will be reported as measured. All volume flow
rates below this cutoff are reported as 0.
Procedure
Set Volume Flow Cutoff to the value you want to use.
• Default: 0.0 l/sec (liters per second)
• Range: 0 l/sec to x l/sec, where x is the sensor’s flow calibration factor, multiplied by 0.0002.
Cutoff
Interaction between Volume Flow Cutoff and mAO Cutoff
Volume Flow Cutoff defines the lowest liquid volume flow value that the transmitter will report as measured.
mAO Cutoff defines the lowest flow rate that will be reported via the mA Output. If mA Output Process
Variable is set to Volume Flow Rate, the volume flow rate reported via the mA Output is controlled by the
higher of the two cutoff values.
Volume Flow Cutoff affects both the volume flow values reported via the outputs and the volume flow values
used in other transmitter behavior (e.g., events defined on the volume flow).
mAO Cutoff affects only flow values reported via the mA Output.
Example: Cutoff interaction with mAO Cutoff lower than Volume Flow Cutoff
Configuration:
• mA Output Process Variable: Volume Flow Rate
• Frequency Output Process Variable: Volume Flow Rate
• AO Cutoff: 10 l/sec
• Volume Flow Cutoff: 15 l/sec
Result: If the volume flow rate drops below 15 l/sec, volume flow will be reported as 0, and 0 will be used in all
internal processing.

Display Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Density → Damping
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement → Density → Density Damping
Field communicator Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Density → Density Damping
Density Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to density data.
Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. The 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 of the process variable (the damped value) will reflect 63% of the
change in the actual measured value.
Procedure
Set Density Damping to the desired value.
• Default: 1.28 seconds
• Range: 0.0 to 60 seconds
Tip
• A high damping value makes the process variable appear smoother because the reported value changes
slowly.
• A low damping value makes the process variable appear more erratic because the reported value changes
more quickly.
• The combination of a high damping value and rapid, large changes in density can result in increased
measurement error.
• Whenever the damping value is non-zero, the damped value will lag the actual measurement because the
damped value is being averaged over time.
• In general, lower damping values are preferable because there is less chance of data loss, and less lag time
between the actual measurement and the damped value.
• If a number greater than 60 is entered, it is automatically changed to 60.

Effect of Density Damping on volume measurement
Density Damping affects liquid volume measurement. Liquid volume values are calculated from the damped
density value rather than the measured density value. Density Damping does not affect gas standard volume
measurement.
Interaction between Density Damping and mA Output Damping
When the mA Output is configured to report density, both Density Damping and mA Output Damping are
applied to the reported density value.
Density Damping controls the rate of change in the value of the process variable in transmitter memory. mA
Output Damping controls the rate of change reported via the mA Output.
If mA Output Source is set to Density, and both Density Damping and mA Output Damping are set to nonzero values, density damping is applied first, and the mA Output damping calculation is applied to the result
of the first calculation. This value is reported over the mA Output.
4.5.3 Configure Density Cutoff

Effect of Temperature Damping on process measurement
Temperature Damping affects all processes and algorithms that use temperature data from the internal
sensor RTD.
Temperature compensation
Temperature compensation adjusts process measurement to compensate for the effect of temperature on
the sensor tubes.
API Referral
Temperature Damping affects API Referral process variables only if the transmitter is configured to use
temperature data from the sensor. If an external temperature value is used for API Referral, Temperature
Damping does not affect API Referral process variables.
Concentration measurement
Temperature Damping affects concentration measurement process variables only if the transmitter is
configured to use temperature data from the sensor. If an external temperature value is used for
concentration measurement, Temperature Damping does not affect concentration measurement process
variables.

5.2 Set up concentration measurement
The concentration measurement application calculates concentration from line density and line temperature.
5.2.1 Preparing to set up concentration measurement
The procedure for setting up concentration measurement application depends on how your device was
ordered and how you want to use the application. Review this information before you begin.
Requirements for concentration measurement
To use the concentration measurement application, the following conditions must be met:
• The concentration measurement application must be enabled.
• The API Referral application must be disabled.
62 Micro Motion 5700 Transmitters with Intrinsically Safe Outputs
Configuration and Use Manual Configure process measurement applications
MMI-20039472 June 2021
• The gas piecewise linearization (PWL) application must be disabled.
• The Advanced Phase Measurement application must be disabled or set for the Liquid with Gas application.
• A concentration matrix must be loaded into one of the six slots on the transmitter.
Tip
In most cases, the concentration matrix that you ordered was loaded at the factory. If it was not, you have
several options for loading a matrix. You can also build a matrix.
• Temperature Source must be configured and set up.
• One matrix must be selected as the active matrix (the matrix used for measurement).
Requirements for matrices
A matrix is the set of coefficients used to convert process data to concentration, plus related parameters. The
matrix can be saved as a file.
The transmitter requires all matrices to be in .matrix format. You can use ProLink III to load matrices in other
formats:
• .edf (used by ProLink II)
• .xml (used by ProLink III)
The transmitter can store matrices in two locations:
• One of the six slots in memory
• The transmitter's SD card
Any matrix in a slot is available for use. In other words, it can be selected as the active matrix and used for
measurement. Matrices on the SD card are not available for use. Matrices must be loaded into a slot before
they can be used for measurement.
All matrices in slots must use the same derived variable. Matrices on the SD card have no requirement for
their derived variables to match.
See the following table for the different ways that you can load matrices.
Table 5-2: Methods to load a matrix file
Action Display ProLink III Field communicator
Load matrix from USB drive to SD card ✓
Load matrix from computer to slot ✓
Load matrix from SD card to slot ✓ ✓ ✓
Requirements for derived variables
A derived variable is the process variable that a concentration matrix measures. All other process variables are
calculated from the derived variable. There are eight possible derived variables. Each matrix is designed for
one specific derived variable.
The transmitter can store up to six matrices in six slots. There are additional matrices on the transmitter's SD
card. All matrices in the six slots must use the same derived variable. If you change the setting of Derived
Variable, all matrices are deleted from the six slots. Any matrices on the transmitter's SD card are not
affected.
Configuration and Use Manual 63
Configure process measurement applications Configuration and Use Manual
June 2021 MMI-20039472
Tip
Always ensure that Derived Variable is set correctly before loading matrices into slots.
Derived variables and net flow rate
If you want the transmitter to calculate Net Mass Flow Rate, the derived variable must be set to Mass
Concentration (Density). If your matrix is not designed for Mass Concentration (Density), contact customer
support for assistance.
If you want the transmitter to calculate Net Volume Flow Rate, the derived variable must be set to Volume
Concentration (Density). If your matrix is not designed for Volume Concentration (Density), contact customer
support for assistance.
Derived variables based on specific gravity
The following derived variables are based on specific gravity:
• Specific Gravity
• Concentration (Specific Gravity)
• Mass Concentration (Specific Gravity)
• Volume Concentration (Specific Gravity)
If you are using one of these derived variables, two additional parameters can be configured:
• Reference Temperature of Water (default setting: 4 °C)
• Water Density at Reference Temperature (default setting: 999.99988 kg/m³)
These two parameters are used to calculate specific gravity.
You cannot set these parameters from the display. If the default values are not appropriate, you must use
another method to set them.
Optional tasks in setting up concentration measurement
The following tasks are optional:
• Modifying names and labels
• Configuring extrapolation alerts

Set up temperature data using the display
The concentration measurement application uses line temperature data in its calculations. You must decide
how to provide this data, then perform the required configuration and setup. Temperature data from the onboard temperature sensor (RTD) is always available. Optionally, you can set up an external temperature
device and use external temperature data.
The temperature setup that you establish here will be used for all concentration measurement matrices on
this meter.
Important
Line temperature data is used in several different measurements and calculations. It is possible to use the
internal RTD temperature in some areas and an external temperature in others. The transmitter stores the
internal RTD temperature and the external temperature separately. However, the transmitter stores only one
alternate temperature value, which may be either the external temperature or the configured fixed value.
Accordingly, if you choose a fixed temperature for some uses, and an external temperature for others, the
external temperature will overwrite the fixed value.

The appropriate setting is either Upscale or Downscale. The setting to use for your installation
depends on your valve type, your wiring, and your setting for Polarity.
4. Optional: For two-stage batching, assign one of the Discrete Outputs to the secondary valve.
You can also assign one of the Discrete Outputs to a pump when the batcher is configured for single
stage.
5.3.4 Configure AOC
Display
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Batcher → Batching Options
Field communicator Configure → Manual Setup → Inputs/Outputs → Batcher → Batcher
Automatic Overshoot Compensation (AOC) adjusts the timing of the valve close command to minimize
overshoot. The valve close command is sent before the target is reached, to compensate for the time
required for the valve to close completely. AOC is applied to all presets and all batches.
There are three options for AOC:
Compensation Off
Fixed
Compensation
Value
AOC Algorithm
Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Batcher → AOC
The transmitter sends the close command when the measured batch total reaches
the configured target.
The transmitter sends the close command when the measured batch total equals the
target minus the value configured for Fixed Overshoot Compensation. This value is
configured in the current mass or volume unit, and applies to all presets.
The transmitter compares the actual measured amount of each batch to the batch
target, and determines the adjustment by calibrating itself according to an internal
algorithm. You can choose to stop AOC calibration when you are satisfied with the
result, or you can set up rolling (continuous) AOC calibration.

6.2 Detect and report two-phase flow
Two-phase flow (gas in a liquid process or liquid in a gas process) can cause a variety of process control issues.
The transmitter provides two methods to detect and report or respond to two-phase flow.
6.2.1 Detect two-phase flow using density
Display

Field communicator
Menu → Configuration → Process Measurement → Density

Configuration and Use Manual 87
Configure advanced options for process measurement Configuration and Use Manual
June 2021 MMI-20039472
The transmitter can use line density data to detect two-phase flow (gas in a liquid process or liquid in a gas
process). The density limits are user-specified. When two-phase flow is detected, an alert is posted.
Procedure
1. Set Two-Phase Flow Low Limit to the lowest density value that is considered normal in your process.
Values below this will cause the transmitter to post a Process Aberration alert.
Tip
Gas entrainment can cause your process density to drop temporarily. To reduce the occurrence of twophase flow alerts that are not significant to your process, set Two-Phase Flow Low Limit slightly below
your expected lowest process density.
You must enter Two-Phase Flow Low Limit in g/cm³, even if you configured another unit for density
measurement.
• Default: 0 g/cm³
• Range: 0 g/cm³ to the sensor limit
2. Set Two-Phase Flow High Limit to the highest density value that is considered normal in your process.
Values above this will cause the transmitter to post a Process Aberration alert.
Tip
To reduce the occurrence of two-phase flow alerts that are not significant to your process, set TwoPhase Flow High Limit slightly above your expected highest process density.
You must enter Two-Phase Flow High Limit in g/cm³, even if you configured another unit for density
measurement.
• Default: 5 g/cm³
• Range: 5 g/cm³ to the sensor limit
3. Set Two-Phase Flow Timeout to the number of seconds that the transmitter will wait for a two-phase
flow condition to clear before posting the alert.
• Default: 0 seconds, meaning that the alert will be posted immediately
• Range: 0 to 60 seconds
6.2.2 Detect two-phase flow using sensor diagnostics

Field communicator
Menu → Configuration → Inputs/Outputs → Channel x → I/O Settings → Source

The transmitter always monitors sensor diagnostics and applies a two-phase flow algorithm. You can assign
an mA Output to report the results of this calculation: single-phase flow, moderate two-phase flow, or severe
two-phase flow. Severe two-phase flow can cause the meter to stop functioning.
Procedure
Set mA Output Source to Two-Phase Flow Detection.

The signal from the mA Output indicates the current state of the process:
• 12 mA: Single-phase flow
• 16 mA: Moderate two-phase flow
• 20 mA: Severe two-phase flow
6.3 Configure Flow Rate Switch
Display Menu → Configuration → Alert Setup → Enhanced Events → Flow Rate Switch
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → I/O → Outputs → Discrete Output → Source → Flow Switch Indication
Field communicator Configure → Manual Setup → Inputs/Outputs → Channel x → Discrete Output x → Flow Switch
Flow Rate Switch is used to indicate that the flow rate has moved past a user-specified setpoint, in either
direction. The flow rate switch is implemented with a user-configurable hysteresis.
Typically, a Discrete Output is assigned as the flow rate switch indicator. The Discrete Output can be wired to
an external device such as a light or a horn.
Prerequisites
A channel must be configured as a Discrete Output, and the Discrete Output must be available for this use.
Procedure
1. Set Discrete Output Source to Flow Switch, if you have not already done so.
2. Set Flow Switch Variable to the flow variable that you want to use to control the flow rate switch.
3. Set Flow Switch Setpoint to the value at which the flow switch will be triggered (after Hysteresis is
applied).
Depending on the polarity of the Discrete Output:
• If the flow rate is below this value, the Discrete Output is ON.
• If the flow rate is above this value, the Discrete Output is OFF.
4. Set Hysteresis to the percentage of variation above and below the setpoint that will operate as a
deadband.
Hysteresis defines a range around the setpoint within which the flow rate switch will not change.
• Default: 5%
• Range: 0.1% to 10%
Example
If Flow Switch Setpoint = 100 g/sec and Hysteresis = 5%, and the first measured flow rate is above
100 g/sec, the discrete output is OFF. It will remain OFF unless the flow rate drops below 95 g/sec. If
this happens, the discrete output will turn ON, and remain ON until the flow rate rises above 105 g/sec.
At this point it turns OFF and will remain OFF until the flow rate drops below 95 g/sec.

6.4 Configure events
An event occurs when the real-time value of a user-specified process variable moves past a user-defined
setpoint. Events are used to provide notification of process changes or to perform specific transmitter actions
if a process change occurs.
Your transmitter supports two event models:
• Basic event model
• Enhanced event model
Tip
Use enhanced events rather than basic events. Enhanced events can perform all the functions of basic events,
and they add the following:
• Defining events by range (In Range or Out of Range), in addition to High and Low
• Triggering transmitter actions if an event occurs
6.4.1 Configure a basic event
Display Not available
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Events → Basic Events
Field communicator Not available
A basic event is used to provide notification of process changes. A basic event occurs (is ON) if the real-time
value of a user-specified process variable moves above (HI) or below (LO) a user-defined setpoint. Event status
can be queried via digital communications, and a Discrete Output can be configured to report event status.
You can define up to two basic events.
Procedure
1. Select the event that you want to configure.
2. Assign a process variable to the event.
3. Specify Event Type.
Option
HI x > A
LO x < A
Description
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is greater
than the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is less than
the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
4. Set a value for Setpoint A.
5. Optional: Configure a Discrete Output to switch states in response to the event status.

An enhanced event is used to provide notification of process changes and, optionally, to perform specific
transmitter actions if the event occurs. An enhanced event occurs (is ON) if the real-time value of a userspecified process variable moves above (HI) or below (LO) a user-defined setpoint, or in range (IN) or out of
range (OUT) with respect to two user-defined setpoints.
You can define up to five enhanced events. For each enhanced event, you can assign one or more actions that
the transmitter will perform if the enhanced event occurs.
Procedure
1. Select the event that you want to configure.
2. Assign a process variable to the event.
3. Specify Event Type.
Option Description
HI x > A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is greater

LO x < A
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is less than
the setpoint (Setpoint A), endpoint not included.
IN A ≤ x ≤ B
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is in range,
that is, between Setpoint A and Setpoint B, endpoints included.
OUT x ≤ A or x ≥ B
The event occurs when the value of the assigned process variable (x) is out of
range, that is, less than Setpoint A or greater than Setpoint B, endpoints
included.
4. Set values for the required setpoints.
• For HI and LO events, set Setpoint A.
• For IN and OUT events, set Setpoint A and Setpoint B.
5. Optional: Configure a Discrete Output to switch states in response to the event status.
6. Optional: Specify the action or actions that the transmitter will perform when the event occurs.

• If it is set to None, the output reports the value associated with the setting of Process Variable
Fault Action.
• If it is set to any other option, the output performs the specified fault action.
If you want the mA Output to continue to report process data during fault conditions, you must set both mA
Output Fault Action and Process Variable Fault Action to None.
Interaction between Process Variable Fault Action and Frequency Output Fault Action
If Frequency Output Fault Action is set to None, the Frequency Output signal depends on the setting of
Process Variable Fault Action.
If the device detects a fault condition:
1. Process Variable Fault Action is evaluated and applied.
2. Frequency Output Fault Action is evaluated.
• If it is set to None, the output reports the value associated with the setting of Process Variable
Fault Action.
• If it is set to any other option, the output performs the specified fault action.
If you want the Frequency Output to continue to report process data during fault conditions, you must set
both Frequency Output Fault Action and Process Variable Fault Action to None.
Interaction between Process Variable Fault Action and Discrete Output Fault Action
If Discrete Output Fault Action is set to None and Discrete Output Source is set to Flow Rate Switch, the
Discrete Output state during a fault depends on the setting of Process Variable Fault Action.
If the device detects a fault condition:
1. Process Variable Fault Action is evaluated and applied.
2. Discrete Output Fault Action is evaluated.
• If it is set to None, and Discrete Output Source is set to Flow Rate Switch, the Discrete Output will
use the value determined by the current setting of Process Variable Fault Action to determine if a
flow rate switch has occurred.

• If Discrete Output Source is set to any other option, the setting of Process Variable Fault Action is
irrelevant to the behavior of the Discrete Output during fault conditions. The Discrete Output is set
to the specified fault action.
If you want the Discrete Output to report a flow rate switch appropriately during fault conditions, you must
set both Discrete Output Fault Action and Process Variable Fault Action to None.
