Hazardous area installations in Europe

2.2 Configuration, calibration, and characterization

To comply with CENELEC standards for hazardous area installations in
Europe, adhere to the following CENELEC conditions for safe use.

Location

The RFT9739 must be installed outside the hazardous area. The
transmitter installation must meet (at least) IP20 safety requirements,
per IEC 529.

Potential equalization

To achiev e potential equalization, the RFT9739 ground conductor should
be connected to the appropriate ground terminals within the hazardous
area, using a potential equalizing line.

Output wiring

Nonintrinsically-safe connections between the RFT9739 and other
devices may be made
or equal to 250 V.

The following information explains the differences among configuration,
calibration, and characterization. Certain parameters might require

Switches 1, 2, and 3 are security switches, which enable the user to
disable flowmeter zeroing, disable resetting of totalizers, and write­protect all configuration and calibration parameters.

Switch settings enable any of eight possible security modes. Different
modes determine which functions are disabled and whether
configuration and calibration parameters are write-protected. The
following functions can be disabled:

• Flowmeter zeroing using digital communications

• Flowmeter zeroing using the Scroll and Reset buttons

• Totalizer control, with flow, using digital communications

• Totalizer control, with flow, using the Scroll and Reset buttons

• Totalizer control, with zero flow, using digital communications

• Totalizer control, with zero flow, using the Scroll and Reset buttons

Table 2-1

lists the parameters that are write-protected and functions that
are disabled for each security mode. Security modes 1 through 7 are
entered immediately when switches are set.

Security mode 8

When transmitter security is set for mode 8, the transmitter meets
security requirements for custody transfer described in National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44.

Once the transmitter is configured for security mode 8, the security
mode cannot be changed unless a master reset is performed. A master
reset causes all configuration parameters to return to their default
values, and

requires complete characterization and reconfiguration

of the trans m i tt e r.

If the user attempts to enter a new security mode or change the
transmitter configuration after entering security mode 8:

• Internal totalizers stop counting

• The frequency/pulse output goes to 0 Hz

• mA outputs go to 4 mA

• The display reads "SECURITY BREACH; SENSOR OK"

• Custody transfer event registers record each change made to defined
configuration and calibration parameters. (For a list of these
parameters, see

Table 6-2

, page 64.)

The security breach continues, and totalizers and outputs remain
inactive, until the transmitter is reconfigured for security mode 8, or until
a master reset has been performed. Custody transfer ev ent registers are
not affected by a master reset.

• For information about event registers, see

• To perform a master reset, see

Section 7.7

Milliamp output trim, milliamp output test, and frequency/pulse output
test procedures cannot be performed after security mode 8 is entered.

Before entering security mode 8,

perform milliamp trim and/or test
procedures, if necessary , as described in any of the following manuals or
in AMS on-line help:

2. Set switches 1, 2, 3, and 10 to the ON position.

3. Set switches 4, 5, and 6 to the OFF position.

4. Locate the Reset button on the transmitter front panel.

5. Press and hold the Reset button for ten seconds.

6. Reset switch 5 to the desired position (as noted in Step 1).

7. Reset switch 10 to the OFF (OPERATE) position.

8. To verify the transmitter is in security mode 8, use the Scroll button to

scroll through the display screens. The transmitter is in security
mode 8 if the CONFIG REG and CALIBRATE REG screens appear.

9. Leave switches 1, 2 and 3 in the ON position to maintain security

mode 8.

To make changes to configuration or calibration parameters once
security mode 8 is entered:

1. Set switches 1, 2, and 3 to the OFF position.

2. Make changes through digital communication or with the Scroll and
Reset buttons (see "Communication configuration mode", page 61).
Custody transfer event registers record changes made to defined
configuration and calibration parameters. For more information about
digital communications, see the following instruction manuals or use
AMS on-line help:

Using the HART Communicator with Micro Motion Transmitters

•

Using ProLink Software with Micro Motion Transmitters

•

•

3. Set switches 1, 2, and 3 to the ON position.

To reenter security mode 8:

If security mode 8 has been established previously, and the security
mode has been temporarily changed, it is not necessary to use the
Reset button to reenter security mode 8. In such a case, resetting
switches 1, 2, and 3 to the ON position will reenter security mode 8
immediately.

If a master reset has been performed, it is necessary to use the Reset
button method to reenter security mode 8. See the procedure, above.

To change to a security mode other than mode 8:

1. Perform a master reset (see

Section 7.7

, page 79, for master reset

procedure).

2. Perform characterization and re-configuration procedures as
described in any of the following instruction manuals or AMS on-line
help:

Communication settings

Switch 5 enables the user to choose the standard communication
configuration or user-defined parameters. With switch 10 in the ON
(CONFIG) position, switches 1 through 6 can be used for setting user­defined communication parameters.

Standard communication setting

To use the standard communication configuration, set switch 5 to the
STD COMM position. Setting the switch in this position establishes the
following parameters:

• HART protocol on the Bell 202 standard, at 1200 baud, on the primary
mA output

• Modbus protocol in RTU mode, at 9600 baud, on the RS-485 output

• 1 stop bit, odd parity

For RFT9739 software versions 3.6 and later, if switch 5 is in the STD
COMM position, an error message will appear on the RFT9739 display
when an attempt is made to change the communication configuration
using the RFT9739 display controls.

User-defined communication settings

To establish user-defined settings, set switch 5 to the USER-DEFINED
position, then use the buttons on the front panel to set baud rate; stop
bits and parity; data bits, protocol, and physical layer.

• When the transmitter is shipped from the factory, the default settings
are HART protocol, over RS-485, at 1200 baud, with 1 stop bit and odd
parity .

• For more information on using the display, see

Section 6.2

, page 60.

Pow er-Supply and

Sensor Wiring

Milliamp output scaling

Switches 7, 8, and 9 allow the user to choose 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA
scaling for mA outputs, and upscale or downscale fault outputs.

Switch 7 defines the primary mA output scaling. Switch 8 defines the
secondary mA output scaling. Either switch may be set in the 0-20
position or the 4-20 position.

• The mA outputs are NAMUR compliant when switches 7 and 8 are in
the 4-20 position. See

Section 5.3

, page 27.

• Communication using the HART protocol over the primary mA output
requires switch 7 to be set in the 4-20 position.

• If switch 7 is in the 0-20 mA position, communication may be lost if
output is less than 2 mA. T o re-establish communication, move s witch 7
to the 4-20mA position.

Switch 9 defines the RFT9739 fault outputs. Fault outputs can be set for
downscale or upscale levels.

• If switch 9 is set to the DWNSCALE position, mA outputs go to 0 mA if
they produce a 0-20 mA current, or to 0-2 mA if they produce a
4-20 mA current; the frequency/pulse output goes to 0 Hz.

• If switch 9 is set to the UPSCALE position, mA outputs go to 22-24 mA;
the frequency/pulse output goes to 15-19 kHz.

• For more information, see "Fault outputs", page 69.
