Configuration and Use Manual Quick start
00809-0100-1600 July 2022
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 on the network 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.
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.

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.
Note
If the transmitter and sensor are purchased together, you do not need to characterize the meter because this
step was performed at the factory prior to shipping.
Note
The 1600 derives Sensor Type from the user-specified values for FCF and K1.
Procedure
1. Set the flow calibration factor: FCF (also called Flow Cal or Flow Calibration Factor). Be sure to include
both decimal points and all zeros.
2. Set the density characterization parameters: D1, D2, TC, K1, K2, and FD. (TC is sometimes shown as
DT.)
3. 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.
4. 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.

If your sensor does not show an FD value, contact customer service.
If your sensor tag does not show a DT or TC value, enter the last four characters of the density calibration
factor. In the sample tag shown above, the value is shown as 4.44.
Do not confuse the Meter Factor line on the pictured sensor tag with any meter factor settings discussed in
this manual.
2.9 Verify mass flow measurement
Check to see that the mass flow rate reported by the transmitter is accurate. You can use any available
method.
Procedure
• Read the value for Mass Flow Rate on the transmitter display.
• Connect to the transmitter with ProLink III and read the value for Mass Flow Rate in the Process Variables
panel.
Postrequisites
If the reported mass flow rate is not accurate:
• Check the characterization parameters.
• Review the troubleshooting suggestions for flow measurement issues.
For information about modifying these values, refer to Configure mass flow measurement.

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.

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 upper puck prevents any configuration
changes to the transmitter from any local or remote configuration tool.
• 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 enabled, Security prevents any configuration changes being made from the display unless the
appropriate password is entered.
3.1.1 Web server security
You can configure this transmitter using web services. There are multiple levels of security built into the
transmitter that you can configure according to your needs and security standards, including:
• Disabling the web servers
• Allowing downloads of configuration and historian files, but disallowing file uploads to the transmitter
through the Ethernet interface
• Configuring Transport Layer Security (TLS) on the web server to encrypt all data transmitted between the
web server and the transmitter

Sensor Flow Direction Arrow is used to accommodate installations in which the Flow arrow on the sensor
does not match the majority of the process flow. This typically happens when the sensor is either accidentally
installed backwards or conditions require that it be 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, the web browser, and all other user interfaces.

4.2.2 Configure Flow Damping
Display
ProLink III Device Tools → Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow → Flow Rate Damping
Web browser Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow Variables → Flow Rate 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.
28 Micro Motion 1600 with Ethernet Transmitters
Configuration and Use Manual Configure process measurement
00809-0100-1600 July 2022
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, Emerson 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 through 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
Web browser Configuration → Process Measurement → Flow Variables → 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 29
Configure process measurement Configuration and Use Manual
July 2022 00809-0100-1600
• 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 through mA Output. If mA Output Process
Variable is set to Mass Flow Rate, the mass flow rate reported through mA Output is controlled by the higher
of the two cutoff values.
Mass Flow Cutoff affects all reported values and values used in other transmitter behavior (e.g., events
defined on mass flow).
mA Output Cutoff affects only mass flow values reported through mA Output.
Example: Cutoff interaction with mA Output Cutoff lower than Mass Flow Cutoff
Configuration:
• mA Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• Frequency Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• mA Output Cutoff: 10 g/sec
• Mass Flow Cutoff: 15 g/sec
Result: If the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec, mass flow will be reported as 0, and 0 will be used in all
internal processing.
Example: Cutoff interaction with mA Output Cutoff higher than Mass Flow Cutoff
Configuration:
• mA Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• Frequency Output Process Variable: Mass Flow Rate
• mA Output Cutoff: 15 g/sec
• Mass Flow Cutoff: 10 g/sec
Result:
• If the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec but not below 10 g/sec:
— The mA Output will report zero flow.
— The Frequency Output will report the actual flow rate, and the actual flow rate will be used in all
internal processing.
