2 Quick start
Topics covered in this chapter:
• Power up the transmitter
• Check meter status
• Make a startup connection to the transmitter
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.
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.
Quick start
2. Turn on the electrical power at the power supply.
The transmitter will automatically perform diagnostic routines. During this period,
Alert 009 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.
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.
Configuration and Use Manual 9

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.
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.

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.
3.3 Disable HART security
If you plan to use HART protocol to configure the device, HART security must be disabled.
HART security is disabled by default, so you may not need to do this.

Temporary Only the current HART master can make changes to the device. The device will
remain locked until manually unlocked by a HART master, or a power-cycle or
device reset is performed. The HART master can also change Lock Option to Perma-
nent.
Lock All No HART masters are allowed to make changes to the configuration. Before
changing Lock Option to Permanent or Temporary, the device must be unlocked. Any
HART master can be used to unlock the device.
Postrequisites
To avoid future confusion or difficulties, ensure that the device is unlocked after you have
completed your tasks.

Introduction to configuration and commissioning
Overview
Restoring the factory configuration returns the transmitter to a known operational
configuration. This may be useful if you experience problems during configuration.
Tip
Restoring the factory configuration is not a common action. You may want to contact Micro Motion
to see if there is a preferred method to resolve any issues.

4.1 Verify the calibration factors
Display Not available
ProLink III Device Tools > Calibration Data
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Calibration Factors
Overview
The calibration factors are used to adjust measurement for the unique traits of the sensor.
Your device was calibrated at the factory. However, you should verify that the calibration
factors that are configured in your device match the factory values.
Prerequisites
You will need the factory values for the calibration factors. These are provided in two
locations:
• The calibration certificate shipped with your meter
• The label inside the transmitter's end-cap
Important
If the transmitter is not the original component, do not use the values from the transmitter label.
Procedure
1. View the calibration factors that are stored in the device.
2. Compare them to the factory values.
• If the values match, no action is required.
• If the values do not match, contact Micro Motion customer service.

Overview
The default measurement unit for dynamic viscosity is cP (centiPoise). The default
measurement unit for kinematic viscosity is cSt (centiStoke). You can change the
measurement unit for dynamic viscosity. You can configure a special measurement unit
for both dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity.

Define a special measurement unit for dynamic viscosity or kinematic viscosity
Display Not available
ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > Process Measurement > Line Viscosity > Special Units
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Measurements > Special Units
Overview
A special measurement unit is a user-defined unit of measure that allows you to report
process 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. You can define a
special measurement unit for dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity, or both.
Procedure
• To define a special unit for dynamic viscosity:
1. Calculate Dynamic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor as follows:
a. x base units = y special units
b. Dynamic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor = x ÷ y
2. Enter Dynamic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor.
The original dynamic viscosity value is divided by this conversion factor.
3. Set User-Defined Label to the name you want to use for the dynamic viscosity unit.
• To define a special unit for kinematic viscosity:
1. Calculate Kinematic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor as follows:
a. x base units = y special units
b. Kinematic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor = x ÷ y
2. Enter Kinematic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor.
The original kinematic viscosity value is divided by this conversion factor.
3. Set User-Defined Label to the name you want to use for the kinematic viscosity
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 kinematic viscosity
You want to measure kinematic viscosity in Stokes rather than centiStokes.
1. Calculate Kinematic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor: 100 ÷ 1
Configuration and Use Manual 23
Configure process measurement
2. Set Kinematic Viscosity Special Unit Conversion Factor to 100.
3. Set User-Defined Label to Stokes.
4.2.2 Configure Viscosity Damping
Display Not available
ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > Process Measurement > Line Viscosity > Line Viscosity Damping
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Measurements > Viscosity > Viscosity Damping
Overview
Viscosity Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to the line viscosity
value. It affects both dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity measurement.
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.
Tip
Viscosity damping affects all process variables that are calculated from line viscosity.
Procedure
Set Viscosity Damping to the value you want to use.
The default value is 0.8 seconds. The range is 0 to 60 seconds.
Interaction between Viscosity Damping and Added Damping
When the mA output is configured to report either dynamic viscosity or kinematic
viscosity, both Viscosity Damping and Added Damping are applied to the reported viscosity
value.
Viscosity Damping controls the rate of change in the value of the process variable in
transmitter memory. Added Damping controls the rate of change reported via the mA
output.
If mA Output Process Variable is set to Dynamic Viscosity or Kinematic Viscosity, and both Viscosity
Damping and Added Damping are set to non-zero values, viscosity damping is applied first,
and the added damping calculation is applied to the result of the first calculation. This
value is reported over the mA output.
