2Quick start
Topics covered in this chapter:
•Power up the transmitter
•Check meter status
•Make a startup connection to the transmitter
•Zero the meter
2.1Power 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
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,
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.
2.2Check 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.
Configuration and Use Manual 7
Quick start
2.Check the status LED on the transmitter.

•Zero the meter using the display (Section 2.4.1)
•Zero the meter using ProLink III (Section 2.4.2)
•Zero the meter using a Fieldbus host (Section 2.4.3)
2.4.1Zero the meter using the display
Zeroing the meter establishes a baseline for the velocity indicator by analyzing the sensor's
output when there is no flow through the sensor tubes.
Important
In most cases, the default value (0) is adequate for flow indication. Do not zero the meter unless the
velocity switch is being triggered incorrectly and you need to apply an offset to the velocity
measurement.
Restriction
You cannot change the Zero Time setting from the display. The current setting of Zero Time will be
applied to the zero procedure. The default value is 20 seconds. If you need to change Zero Time, you
must make a connection to the transmitter from a communications tool such as ProLink III.
Quick start
Prerequisites
Important
Do not zero the meter if a high-severity alert is active. Correct the problem, then zero the meter. You
may zero the meter if a low-severity alert is active.
Note
"Display" refers to the display on the remotely mounted transmitter, not directly mounted to the
meter. If there is a display directly on the meter, it can only view process variables, and it cannot be
used for any other operation.
Procedure
1.Prepare the meter:
a. Stop flow through the sensor by shutting the downstream valve, and then the
upstream valve if available.
b. Verify that the sensor is blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that the sensor is
completely full of process fluid.
c. Verify that the process fluid is not flashing or condensing, and that it does not
contain particles that can settle out.
d. Remove or reduce sources of electromechanical noise if appropriate.
2.Start the zero process.

Fieldbus hostAI or AO function block > CHANNEL
AI or AO function block > XD_SCALE (OD Index 10)
AI or AO function block > OUT_SCALE (OD Index 11)
Overview
Each of the four AI function blocks and the AO function block can be assigned to a
transducer block channel. Each transducer block channel is used for a single process
variable. The AI function blocks are used for input data (data sent from the transmitter to
the host). The AO function block is used for output data (data sent from the host to the
transmitter).

Procedure
1.Set the (AI or AO) function block channel to the transducer block channel this block
should report.
2.Make sure the transducer scale is set to the correct units, and change it if necessary.
3.Make sure the output scale units matches the transducer scale units, and change it if
necessary.
4.2Configure AI Linearization
Fieldbus hostAI function block > L_TYPE (OD Index 16)
Overview
AI Linearization is used to rescale a process variable. It can also be used to change the
measurement units. The default setting (Direct) is appropriate for most applications.
Procedure
1.Set AI Linearization as desired.
OptionDescription
DirectThe AI block reports process variables directly from the Measurement trans-
ducer block.
IndirectThe value from the Measurement transducer block is rescaled as specified by
the Transducer Scale parameters and the Output Scale parameters. The AI
block reports the inverse of the result.
Indirect
Square Root
Important
AI linearization affects only the process variable reported by the AI block. It has no effect on
the Measurement block. Therefore:
• If you set AI Linearization to Indirect or Indirect Square Root, the process variable reported by the
AI block will be different from the process variable read directly from the Measurement
block. Both the display and ProLink III read data directly from the Measurement block.
• Measurement parameters such as Density Damping and Density Cutoff are processed by the
Measurement block, and the result is passed through AI linearization. Using Ai
linearization to implement damping or cutoff processing may not be possible, and is not
recommended.
The value from the Measurement transducer block is rescaled as specified by
the Transducer Scale parameters and the Output Scale parameters. The AI
block reports the square root of the result. This setting is not applicable to
most Micro Motion meters.
2.If you selected Indirect or Indirect Square Root, set the Transducer Scale and Output
Scale parameters:
18 Micro Motion® Compact Density Meters (CDM) with Foundation™ Fieldbus
Integrate the meter with the network
a. Set Transducer Scale: EU at 0% to the value of the process variable when the
transducer block reports 0%.
b. Set Transducer Scale: EU at 100% to the value of the process variable when the
transducer block reports 100%.
c. Set Output Scale: EU at 0% to the value of the process variable when the AI block
reports 0%.
d. Set Output Scale: EU at 100% to the value of the process variable when the AI block
reports 100%.
Specify the two transducer scale parameters in the measurement unit configured
for the transducer block. Specify the two output scale parameters in the
measurement unit configured for the AI block. In most cases, the transducer block
and the AI block use the same measurement unit.
Example: Using scaling to change the measurement unit
The transducer block is configured to measure density in g/cm³. You want the AI block to
report density in oz/in³.
Your lowest expected density value is 0.5 g/cm³. This is equivalent to 0.289 oz/in³.
Your highest expected density value is 0.85 g/cm³. This is equivalent to 0.491 oz/in³.
Set parameters as follows:
•AI Linearization = Indirect
•Transducer Scale: EU at 0% = 0.5
•Transducer Scale: EU at 100% = 0.85
•Output Scale: EU at 0% = 0.289
•Output Scale: EU at 100% = 0.491
Result: As line density varies between 0.5 g/cm³ and 0.85 g/cm³:
•The transducer block varies between 0% and 100%.
•The Measurement block converts this value to a value between 0.5 g/cm³ and
0.85 g/cm³. The result is reported on the display and set to the AI block.
•The AI block applies AI linearization, and reports a value between 0.289 oz/in³ and
0.85 oz/in³.

AI function block > LO_LO_LIM (OD Index 32)
AI function block > LO_LO_PRI (OD Index 31)
AI function block > ALARM_HYS (OD Index 24)
Overview
Process alerts are used to indicate that a process variable is outside the specified limits.
Each AI block has four alert limits: High-High, High, Low, and Low-Low. In general, the
range between High and Low represents the normal process range.
Process alerts are reported only by the affected AI block. They are not shown on the display
or reported by ProLink III.
Prerequisites
Before setting process alert limits, ensure that the four AI blocks are configured for the
appropriate transducer channel (process variable) and measurement unit.
Procedure
1.Select AI Block 1.
2.Set process alert limits:
a. Set the High-High alert to the value of the process variable that will cause the
transmitter to post a High-High alert for this AI block.
b. Set the High alert to the value of the process variable that will cause the
transmitter to post a High alert for this AI block.
c. Set the Low alert to the value of the process variable that will cause the
transmitter to post a Low alert for this AI block.
d. Set the Low-Low alert to the value of the process variable that will cause the
transmitter to post a Low-Low alert for this AI block.
3.For each process alert limit, set the alert priority.
The alert priority is a value between 0 and 15. Higher numbers represent higher
priorities. These values are used for fieldbus network management. They do not
affect transmitter operation: The transmitter will post the alert as soon as the
condition is detected.
4.Repeat for all other AI blocks.
5.Set the alert hysteresis.
20 Micro Motion® Compact Density Meters (CDM) with Foundation™ Fieldbus
Integrate the meter with the network
The alert hysteresis defines a range around the alert limit that operates as a
deadband. The range is defined in terms of % of the output scale. Alert hysteresis is
used to suppress repetitive alerts when the process variable is hovering around the
alert limit.
• A higher value suppresses alerts across a wider range.
• A lower value suppresses alerts across a narrower range. Therefore, alerts may be
posted more frequently.
Important
The alert hysteresis applies to all AI blocks and to all process alert limits.
Example:
AI Block 1 is configured to report line density. The High alert is set at 1.0 g/cm³. The
alert hysteresis is set at 5%.
If line density goes above 1.05 g/cm³, the transmitter posts a High alert. The High
alert remains active until density goes below 0.95 g/cm³.
4.4Configure the timeout for Field Diagnostic
alerts
Fieldbus hostDiagnosticsTB > Alert Index (OD Index 017)
Diagnostic TB > Alert timeout (OD Index 083)
Overview
Each Field Diagnostic alert has an individual Timeout parameter. If the alert occurs, it is not
sent to the host until the timeout has expired. Additionally, any associated AI blocks do not
go into fault until the timeout has expired. In other words, the process quality for the AI
block is reported as Good until the timeout expires.
Procedure
1.Set the alert index to the alert you want to configure.
2.Set the timeout as desired:
• Default: 0 seconds
• Range: 0 to 300 seconds

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.
Configuration and Use Manual 23
Configure process measurement
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.
Related information
Sample calibration certificates
5.1.1Calibration factors
The original calibration factors are obtained from factory calibration, and are unique to
each device. They are used to adjust measurements for the specific physical properties of
the device.
Contents of the calibration certificate
The calibration certificate contains several sets of factors:
Density calibration
coefficients
Temperature
compensation coefficients
Pressure compensation
coefficients
Flow compensation
coefficient
The calibration certificate also provides the results of the Known Density Verification
procedure that was performed at the factory.
For each calibration performed at the factory, the calibration certificate contains the data
used to calculate the calibration coefficients.
CDM format and legacy format (A factors and K factors)
The calibration factors are provided on three calibration certificates:
•The first certificate provides the calibration factors in the CDM format, An, in SI units.
These are obtained from factory calibration of your device.
•The second certificate provides the calibration factors in the legacy format, Kn, in SI
units. These factors represent the current calibration factors converted to the
format used by the 7835 and 7845 meters.
•The third certificate provides the calibration factors in the legacy format, Kn, in
imperial units. These factors represent the current calibration factors converted to
the format used by the 7835 and 7845 meters, and then converted to imperial units.
Define the relationship between density and the response
of your sensor
Adjust density measurement for the effect of temperature
on sensor response
Adjust density measurement for the effect of pressure on
sensor response
Adjusts density measurement for the effect of flow on
sensor response
If you have existing programs that use the K factors, update your programs with the new K
values in the appropriate units. In all other situations, use the A-format calibration factors.
