2 Quick start
2.1
The transmitter must be powered up for all configuration and commissioning tasks or for process
measurement.
Procedure
Postrequisites
Although the sensor is ready to receive process fluid shortly after power-up, the electronics can take up to
ten 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 ten minutes before relying on process measurements. During this warm-up period, you may
observe minor measurement instability or inaccuracy.
Power up the transmitter
1.
2.
WARNING
If the transmitter is in a hazardous area, do not remove the housing cover while the transmitter is
powered up. Failure to follow these instructions can cause an explosion resulting in injury or death.
Ensure that all transmitter and sensor covers and seals are closed.
Turn on the electrical power at the power supply.
The transmitter will automatically perform diagnostic routines. The transmitter is self-switching and
will automatically detect the supply voltage. When using DC power, a minimum of 1.5 amps of startup
current is required. During this period, Alert 009 is active. The diagnostic routines should complete in
approximately 30 seconds. The status LED will turn green and begin to flash when the startup
diagnostics are complete. If the status LED exhibits different behavior, an alert is active.
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, Alert A009 is active. This alert should clear automatically
when the power-up sequence is complete.
2. Check the status LED on the transmitter.

A special measurement unit is a user-defined unit of measure that allows you to report process data, totalizer
data, and inventory 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.
Note
Although you cannot define a special measurement unit using the display, you can use the display to select an
existing special measurement unit, and to view process data using the special measurement unit.
The special unit label displays only on the local display. The AI block uses and displays the actual engineering
unit (i.e. lb/min).
Procedure
1. Specify Base Mass Unit.
Base Mass Unit is the existing mass unit that the special unit will be based on.
2. Specify Base Time Unit.
Base Time Unit is the existing time unit that the special unit will be based on.
3. Calculate Mass Flow Conversion Factor as follows:
a) x base units = y special units
b) Mass Flow Conversion Factor = x ÷ y
18Micro Motion 2700 Transmitters with FOUNDATION Fieldbus

Enter Mass Flow Conversion Factor.
5. Set Mass Flow Label to the name you want to use for the mass flow unit.
6. Set Mass Total Label to the name you want to use for the mass total and mass inventory 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 mass flow
You want to measure mass flow in ounces per second (oz/sec).
Field CommunicatorConfigure→Manual Setup→Measurements→Flow→Flow Damping
Fieldbus hostMeasurement TB→FLOW_DAMPING→OD Index
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.
• 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.
Configuration and Use Manual19
Page 20
Configure process measurementConfiguration and Use Manual
August 202220000326
• 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 value you enter is automatically rounded off to the nearest valid value. For example, if the damping is
currently set to 0.8 seconds, any value entered up to 1.2 seconds will be rounded down to 0.8 seconds, and
any value entered from 1.21 to 1.59 seconds will be rounded up to 1.6 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.
Field CommunicatorConfigure→Manual Setup→Measurements→Flow→Mass Flow Cutoff
Fieldbus hostMeasurement TB→MASS_LOW_CUT (OD Index 38)
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.
Procedure
Set Mass Flow Cutoff to the value you want to use.
The default value for Mass Flow Cutoff is 0.0 g/sec or a sensor-specific value set at the factory. The
recommended value is 0.5% of the nominal flow rate of the attached sensor. See the sensor specifications. Do
not leave Mass Flow Cutoff at 0.0 g/sec.
Configure Mass Flow Cutoff
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.

The two-phase flow parameters control how the transmitter detects and reports two-phase flow (gas in a
liquid process or liquid in a gas process).
Note
Two-phase flow is also referred to as slug flow.
Procedure
Set Two-Phase Flow Low Limit to the lowest density value that is considered normal in your process.
1.
Values below this will cause the transmitter to post Alert A105 (Two-Phase Flow).
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.
2.
Set Two-Phase Flow High Limit to the highest density value that is considered normal in your process.
Micro Motion recommends leaving Two-Phase Flow High Limit at the default value.
Values above this will cause the transmitter to post Alert A105 (Two-Phase Flow).
You must enter Two-Phase Flow High Limit in g/cm³, even if you configured another unit for density
measurement.
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.
Configuration and Use Manual31
Page 32
Configure process measurementConfiguration and Use Manual
August 202220000326
The default value for Two-Phase Flow Timeout is 0.0 seconds, meaning that the alert will be posted
immediately. The range is 0.0 to 60.0 seconds.
The Two-Phase Flow alert is set immediately. The flow rate will hold the last measured value for the
Timeout time. Then the flow rate will report zero flow. If the density goes back in range, the error clears
immediately.
Detecting and reporting 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.
By configuring the two-phase flow parameters appropriately for your application, you can detect process
conditions that require correction.
Micro Motion recommends leaving Two-Phase Flow High Limit at the default value.
A two-phase flow condition occurs whenever the measured density goes below Two-Phase Flow Low Limit or
above Two-Phase Flow High Limit. If this occurs:
• A two-phase flow alert is posted to the active alert log.
• All outputs that are configured to represent flow rate hold their last pre-alert value for the number of
seconds configured in Two-Phase Flow Timeout.
If the two-phase flow condition clears before Two-Phase Flow Timeout expires:
• Outputs that represent flow rate revert to reporting actual flow.
• The two-phase flow alert is deactivated, but remains in the active alert log until it is acknowledged.
If the two-phase flow condition does not clear before Two-Phase Flow Timeout expires, the outputs that
represent flow rate report a flow rate of 0.
If Two-Phase Flow Timeout is set to 0.0 seconds, the outputs that represent flow rate will report a flow rate of
0 as soon as two-phase flow is detected.

Density Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to the line density value.
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
Density damping affects all process variables that are calculated from line density.

Procedure
Set Density Damping to the desired value.
32Micro Motion 2700 Transmitters with FOUNDATION Fieldbus
Page 33
Configuration and Use ManualConfigure process measurement
The default value is 1.6 seconds. The range depends on the core processor type and the setting of UpdateRate, as shown in the following table:
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.
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.

Temperature Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to the line temperature value,
when the on-board temperature data is used (RTD).
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
Temperature Damping affects all process variables, compensations, and corrections that use temperature
data from the sensor.
Procedure
Enter the value you want to use for Temperature Damping.
The default value is 4.8 seconds. For most applications, the default temperature damping setting is sufficient.
The range is 0.0 to 38.4 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.
• 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 value you enter is automatically rounded off to the nearest valid value. Valid values for TemperatureDamping are 0, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 19.2, and 38.4.
4.6.3
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.
Petroleum measurement
Temperature Damping affects petroleum measurement process variables only if the transmitter is
configured to use temperature data from the sensor. If an external temperature value is used for petroleum
measurement, Temperature Damping does not affect petroleum measurement process variables.

4.8 Set up concentration measurement
This section guides you through loading and setting up a concentration matrix used for measurement. It does
not cover building a concentration matrix.
The concentration measurement application calculates concentration data from process temperature and
density. Micro Motion provides a set of concentration matrices that provide the reference data for several
standard industry applications and process fluids. If desired, you can build a custom matrix for your process
fluid, or purchase a custom matrix from Micro Motion.
Note
Concentration matrices can be made available on your transmitter either by loading an existing matrix from a
file or by building a new matrix. Up to 6 matrices can be available on your transmitter, but only 1 can be used
for measurement at any given time. For detailed information on building a matrix, see the Micro MotionEnhanced Density Application Manual.
Prerequisites
Before you can configure concentration measurement:
• The concentration measurement application must be purchased on your transmitter.
• The concentration matrix you want to use must be available on your transmitter, or it must be available as
a file on your computer.
• You must know the derived variable that your matrix is designed for.
• You must know the density unit used by your matrix.
• You must know the temperature unit used by your matrix.
• The concentration measurement application must be unlocked.
4.8.1
Procedure

1. Choose Device Tools→Configuration→Process Measurement→Density and set Density Unit to
the density unit used by your matrix.
2. Choose Device Tools→Configuration→Process Measurement→Temperature and set
Temperature Unit to the temperature unit used by your matrix.
4. Set Derived Variable to the derived variable that your matrix is designed for, and click Apply.
Important
• All concentration matrices on your transmitter must use the same derived variable. If you are using
one of the standard matrices from Micro Motion, set Derived Variable to Mass Concentration
(Density). If you are using a custom matrix, see the reference information for your matrix.

• If you change the setting of Derived Variable, all existing concentration matrices will be deleted
from transmitter memory. Set Derived Variable before loading concentration matrices.
5. Load one or more matrices.
Set Matrix Being Configured to the location to which the matrix will be loaded.
a)
b) Click Load Matrix from a File, navigate to the matrix file on your computer, and load it.
c) Repeat until all required matrices are loaded.
6. Configure or review matrix data.

d) If desired, change the matrix name.
e) Review the data points for this matrix.
f) Do not change Reference Temperature or Curve Fit Maximum Order.
g) If you changed any matrix data, click Apply.
7. Set up extrapolation alarms.
Each concentration matrix is built for a specific density range and a specific temperature range. If
process density or process temperature goes outside the range, the transmitter will extrapolate
concentration values. However, extrapolation may affect accuracy. Extrapolation alarms are used to
notify the operator that extrapolation is occurring.
a) If necessary, set Matrix Being Configured to the matrix you want to view, and select Change
Matrix.
b) Set Extrapolation Alarm Limit to the point, in percent, at which an extrapolation alarm will be
posted.
c) Enable or disable the high and low limit alarms for temperature and density, as desired, and
select Apply.
Example
If Extrapolation Alarm Limit is set to 5%, High Extrapolation Limit (Temperature) is enabled, and the
matrix is built for a temperature range of 40 °F (4.4 °C) to 80 °F (26.7 °C), an extrapolation alarm will be
posted if process temperature goes above 82 °F (27.8 °C).
Concentration process variables are now available on the transmitter. You can view and report them in the
same way that you view and report other process variables.

This section guides you through most of the tasks related to setting up and implementing the concentration
measurement application.
Restriction
This section does not cover building a concentration matrix. See Micro Motion Enhanced Density Application
Manual for detailed information on building a matrix.
4.9.1 Set reference temperature values for specific gravity using a
basic FF host
When Derived Variable is set to any option based on specific gravity, you must set the reference temperature
for water, then verify the density of water at the configured reference temperature. These values affect
specific gravity measurement.
To check the setting of Derived Variable, read the value of the Derived Variable parameter in the
Concentration Measuremnt TB.
Do not change the setting of Derived Variable. If you change the setting of Derived Variable, all existing
concentration matrices will be deleted from transmitter memory.
Procedure
Write the desired values into the appropriate parameters in the Concentration Measuremnt TB for Reference
Temperature, Water Reference Temperature, and Water Reference Density.
The transmitter automatically calculates the density of water at the specified temperature. The new value will
be displayed the next time that transmitter memory is read. You can enter a different value if you want to.

Modify extrapolation alerts for concentration measurement
using a basic FF host
You can enable and disable extrapolation alerts, and set extrapolation alert limits. These parameters control
the behavior of the concentration measurement application but do not affect measurement directly.
Each concentration matrix is built for a specific density range and a specific temperature range. If line density
or line temperature goes outside the range, the transmitter will extrapolate concentration values. However,
extrapolation may affect accuracy. Extrapolation alerts are used to notify the operator that extrapolation is
occurring.
Each concentration matrix has its own extrapolation alert limits.
Procedure
1. Choose the matrix you want to configure using the Active Matrix parameter in the Concentration
Measuremnt TB. Each saved matrix has a unique value of 0 through 5.
2. Write the desired values into the appropriate parameters in the Concentration Measuremnt TB.

4.10 Configure pressure compensation
Pressure compensation adjusts process measurement to compensate for the pressure effect on the sensor.
The pressure effect is the change in the sensor’s sensitivity to flow and density caused by the difference
between the calibration pressure and the process pressure.
Tip
Not all sensors or applications require pressure compensation. The pressure effect for a specific sensor model
can be found in the product data sheet located at Emerson.com. If you are uncertain about implementing
pressure compensation, contact customer service.
Prerequisites
You will need the flow factor, density factor, and calibration pressure values for your sensor.
• For the flow factor and density factor, see the product data sheet for your sensor.
• For the calibration pressure, see the calibration sheet for your sensor. If the data is unavailable, use 20 PSI.

Micro Motion provides several measurement support procedures to help you evaluate and maintain your
flowmeter's accuracy.
The following methods are available:
• Smart Meter Verification (SMV) evaluates the structural integrity of the sensor tubes by comparing current
• Meter validation compares flowmeter measurements reported by the transmitter to an external
• Calibration establishes the relationship between a process variable and the signal produced at the sensor.
Tip
• Perform SMV at regular intervals to get the best data on your meter's performance.
• To prove the meter against a regulatory standard, or to correct measurement error, use meter validation
• Before performing a field calibration, contact customer support to see if there is an alternative. In many

and meter factors.
cases, field calibrations have a negative effect on measurement accuracy.
8.2 Use Smart Meter Verification
Smart Meter Verification™ provides in-process flow meter health verification by analyzing the meter
components related to measurement performance. You can run Smart Meter Verification without stopping
the process. Use this section to run a Smart Meter Verification test, view and interpret the results, set up
automatic execution, and check if a field reference point has been established.
8.2.1
To use SMV, the transmitter must be paired with an 800 enhanced core processor.
See Table 8-1 for the minimum version of the transmitter, an 800 enhanced core processor, and
communication tool needed to support SMV. (If you are going to perform SMV using the display, only the
transmitter and enhanced core processor versions apply.)

8.2.2 SMV test preparation
Prerequisites
The following information pertains to the transmitter when connected to an 800 enhanced core processor
greater than or equal to v4.7 .
• To avoid or reduce corrosion, erosion, and other process effects, make sure the sensor tube material is
compatible with the process fluid in use. For more information, see the Micro Motion Corrosion Guide.
• Important
Micro Motion highly recommends:
— Running the first Smart Meter Verification test when the flow meter is installed in the pipeline
according to the installation instructions, and the process is running at its normal operating conditions
— Running all tests thereafter at similar operating conditions
• The Smart Meter Verification test runs best when process conditions are stable. If process conditions are
too unstable, the test will abort. To maximize process stability:
— Maintain a constant fluid temperature and pressure.
— Maintain a constant flow rate. If possible, stop flow through the sensor. The sensor should be full of
process fluid.
— Avoid changes to fluid composition; for example, two-phase flow or settling.
• For all applications, run Smart Meter Verification while commissioning the meter at normal operating
conditions and then run it regularly. Micro Motion also recommends using Smart Meter Verification results
along with other diagnostics like drive gain and density to help determine the health of a sensor.
• In certain scenarios, Smart Meter Verification field upgrades for pre-installed meters are possible. Contact
factory support to discuss pre-installed meter upgrades.

Zeroing the meter establishes a baseline for process measurement by analyzing the sensor's output when
there is no flow through the sensor tubes.
Prerequisites
Verify the zero and prepare the meter using the procedures in Verify the zero.
Procedure
Zero the meter.
If necessary, modify Zero Time. Zero Time controls the amount of time the transmitter takes to determine its
zero-flow reference point. The default Zero Time is 20 seconds. For most applications, the default Zero Time
is appropriate.
Postrequisites
Restore normal flow through the sensor by opening the valves. Verify that the sensor tubes are full.
Need help?
If the zero fails:
• Verify that there is no flow through the sensor, then retry.
• Remove or reduce sources of electromechanical noise, then retry.
• Set Zero Time to a lower value, then retry.
• If the zero continues to fail, contact customer service.

Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Density
Meter validation compares flowmeter measurements reported by the transmitter to an external
measurement standard. If the transmitter value for mass flow, volume flow, or density measurement is
significantly different from the external measurement standard, you may want to adjust the corresponding
meter factor. The flowmeter’s actual measurement is multiplied by the meter factor, and the resulting value
is reported and used in further processing.
Prerequisites
Identify the meter factor(s) that you will calculate and set. You may set any combination of the three meter
factors: mass flow, volume flow, and density. Note that all three meter factors are independent:
• The meter factor for mass flow affects only the value reported for mass flow.
• The meter factor for density affects only the value reported for density.
Important
To adjust volume flow, you must set the meter factor for volume flow. Setting a meter factor for mass flow
and a meter factor for density will not produce the desired result. The volume flow calculations are based on
original mass flow and density values, before the corresponding meter factors have been applied.
If you plan to calculate the meter factor for volume flow, be aware that validating volume in the field may be
expensive, and the procedure may be hazardous for some process fluids. Therefore, because volume is
inversely proportional to density, an alternative to direct measurement is to calculate the meter factor for
volume flow from the meter factor for density. See Alternate method for calculating the meter factor for
volume flow for instructions on this method.
Obtain a reference device (external measurement device) for the appropriate process variable.
Important
For good results, the reference device must be highly accurate.
Procedure
1.
Determine the meter factor as follows:
a) Set the meter factor to 1 to take a sample measurement.
b) Measure the same sample using the reference device.
c) Calculate the meter factor using the following formula:
erenceMeasurement
NewMeterFactor = C

2. Ensure that the calculated meter factor does not fall outside 0.98 and 1.02. If the meter factor is
outside these limits, contact customer service.

Calculating the meter factor for mass flow
The flowmeter is installed and validated for the first time. The mass flow measurement from the transmitter is
250.27 lb. The mass flow measurement from the reference device is 250 lb. The mass flow meter factor is
calculated as follows:
MeterFactor

assFlow = 1 ×
250
250.27

The first meter factor for mass flow is 0.9989.
One year later, the flowmeter is validated again. The mass flow measurement from the transmitter is
250.07 lb. The mass flow measurement from the reference device is 250.25 lb. The new mass flow meter
factor is calculated as follows:
MeterFactor
assFlow = 0.9989 ×
M
250.25
250.07

The new meter factor for mass flow is 0.9996.
8.4.1
Alternate method for calculating the meter factor for volume
flow
The alternate method for calculating the meter factor for volume flow is used to avoid the difficulties that
may be associated with the standard method.
This alternate method is based on the fact that volume is inversely proportional to density. It provides partial
correction of the volume flow measurement by adjusting for the portion of the total offset that is caused by
the density measurement offset. Use this method only when a volume flow reference is not available, but a
density reference is available.
Procedure
1. Calculate the meter factor for density, using the standard method.
2. Calculate the meter factor for volume flow from the meter factor for density:

8.5 Perform a (standard) D1 and D2 density calibration
Density calibration establishes the relationship between the density of the calibration fluids and the signal
produced at the sensor. Density calibration includes the calibration of the D1 (low-density) and D2 (highdensity) calibration points.
Important
Micro Motion flow meters are calibrated at the factory, and normally do not need to be calibrated in the field.
Calibrate the flow meter only if you must do so to meet regulatory requirements. Contact customer support
before calibrating the flow meter.
Tip
Use meter validation and meter factors, rather than calibration, to prove the meter against a regulatory
standard or to correct measurement error.
Prerequisites
• During density calibration, the sensor must be completely filled with the calibration fluid, and flow
through the sensor must be at the lowest rate allowed by your application. This is usually accomplished by
closing the shutoff valve downstream from the sensor, then filling the sensor with the appropriate fluid.
• D1 and D2 density calibration require a D1 (low-density) fluid and a D2 (high-density) fluid. You may use
air and water.
• If LD Optimization is enabled on your meter, disable it. To do this using a field communicator, choose
Configure → Manual Setup → Measurements → Optional Setup → LD Optimization. LD Optimization is
used only with large sensors in hydrocarbon applications. If you are not using a field communicator,
contact Emerson before continuing.
• The calibrations must be performed without interruption, in the order shown. Make sure that you are
prepared to complete the process without interruption.
• Before performing the calibration, record your current calibration parameters. You can do this by saving
the current configuration to a file on the PC. If the calibration fails, restore the known values.
Restriction
For T-Series sensors, the D1 calibration must be performed on air and the D2 calibration must be performed
on water.

8.6 Perform temperature calibration
Temperature calibration establishes the relationship between the temperature of the calibration fluids and
the signal produced by the sensor.
Prerequisites
The temperature calibration is a two-part procedure: temperature offset calibration and temperature slope
calibration. The two parts must be performed without interruption, in the order shown. Ensure that you are
prepared to complete the process without interruption. You will need a low-temperature calibration fluid and
a high-temperature calibration fluid. You will not see the effect of the calibration until both the temperature
offset calibration and the temperature slope calibration are complete.
Important
Consult customer support before performing a temperature calibration. Under normal circumstances, the
temperature circuit is stable and should not need an adjustment.

9.2 Check the drive gain
Excessive or erratic drive gain may indicate any of a variety of process conditions or sensor problems.
To know whether your drive gain is excessive or erratic, you must collect drive gain data during the problem
condition and compare it to drive gain data from a period of normal operation.
Excessive (saturated) drive gain
Table 9-1: Possible causes and recommended actions for excessive (saturated) drive gain
Possible causeRecommended actions
Bent sensor tubeCheck the pickoff voltages (see Check the pickoff voltage). If either of them are close to
zero (but neither is zero), the sensor tubes may be bent. The sensor will need to be
replaced.

9.3.1 Check the sensor coils
Checking the sensor coils can identify a cause for a no sensor response alert.
Restriction
This procedure applies only to 9-wire remote-mount transmitters and remote transmitters with remote core
processors.
Procedure
1.
Disconnect power to the transmitter.
WARNING
If the transmitter is in a hazardous area, wait five minutes after disconnecting the power. Failure to
do so could result in an explosion causing death or injury.
Unplug the terminal blocks from the terminal board on the core processor.
2.
3. Using a digital multimeter (DMM), check the pickoff coils by placing the DMM leads on the unplugged
terminal blocks for each terminal pair. See the following table for a list of the coils. Record the values.

There should be no open circuits, that is, no infinite resistance readings. The left pickoff and right
pickoff readings should be the same or very close (±5 Ω). If there are any unusual readings, repeat the
coil resistance tests at the sensor junction box to eliminate the possibility of faulty cable. The readings
for each coil pair should match at both ends.
4.
Test the terminals in the sensor junction box for shorts to case.
Test results will be inconclusive with nonconductive process fluids such as hydrocarbons.
a) Leave the terminal blocks disconnected.
b) Remove the lid of the junction box.
c) Testing one terminal at a time, place a DMM lead on the terminal and the other lead on the
sensor case.
With the DMM set to its highest range, there should be infinite resistance on each lead. If there is
any resistance at all, there is a short to case.
5. Test the resistance of junction box terminal pairs.
a) Test the brown terminal against all other terminals except the red one.
b) Test the red terminal against all other terminals except the brown one.
c) Test the green terminal against all other terminals except the white one.
d) Test the white terminal against all other terminals except the green one.
e) Test the blue terminal against all other terminals except the gray one.
f) Test the gray terminal against all other terminals except the blue one.
g) Test the orange terminal against all other terminals except the yellow and violet ones.
h) Test the yellow terminal against all other terminals except the orange and violet ones.
i) Test the violet terminal against all other terminals except the yellow and orange ones.
There should be infinite resistance for each pair. If there is any resistance at all, there is a short between
terminals.
