Getting Ready to Configure
3.1Overview
This chapter contains information and procedures that are required or useful for flowmeter
configuration planning and configuration. The following topics are discussed:
•Applying power to the flowmeter – see Section 3.2
•Setting up and making an administrative connection – see Section 3.3
•Working with mA output scales – see Section 3.4
•Configuration tips and tricks – see Section 3.5
•Process variables, display variables, and reporting options – see Section 3.6
3.2Applying power
To apply power to the flowmeter:
OperationAppendicesMaintenance and TroubleshootingCommissioning
1. Close and tighten all covers.
transmitter housing cover is in place before applying power. Operating the flowmeter without
covers in place creates electrical hazards that can cause death, injury, or property damage.
2. Apply power to the mA output wiring.
The flowmeter will automatically perform diagnostic routines. When the flowmeter has completed its
power-up sequence, if the default settings are in effect:
•The display will show the current mass flow rate and measurement unit.
•If there are any active Fault or Informational alarms, the display will flash
alternately with the mass flow measurement unit.
Note: See Section 5.3.1 for information on alarm severity (Fault, Informational, and Ignore).
Note: The flowmeter is ready to receive process fluid approximately one minute after power-up.
However, the transmitter may not be warmed up sufficiently, and may exhibit minor instability or
inaccuracy. If you observe this, wait approximately ten minutes. If the condition does not disappear,
follow standard troubleshooting procedures.
WARNING! Be sure that the Warning flap is closed and the
ALM_F or ALM_I
Configuration and Use Manual25
Getting Ready to Configure
3.3Setting up and making an administrative connection
To configure and make the administrative connection using the Communicator or ProLink II:
1. Make a startup connection to the transmitter using default HART parameters as listed below:
•HART address = 0
•Baud rate = 1200
•Parity = Odd
•Stop bits = 1
Note: For information on using ProLink II, see Appendix D. For information on using the
Communicator, see Appendix E.
2. Set the HART address as required. Valid HART addresses are 0–63. The HART address must
be unique on the network. You do not need to change the default address unless the transmitter
will be on a multidrop network. To set the HART address:
•Using the Communicator, select
Poll Addr
.
•Using ProLink II, click
Note: If you set the HART address to a non-zero value, Loop Current Mode is automatically disabled
and the mA output will not report process data. See Section 6.3.2 for information on enabling Loop
Current Mode.
3. If desired, set the software tag (also called the HART tag). Devices on the network may use
either the HART address or the software tag to communicate with the transmitter. To set the
software tag:
•Using the Communicator, select
•Using ProLink II, click
4. Disconnect the startup connection and reconnect using the new parameters.
3.4Working with the mA output scale
If the Micro Motion adapter-barrier is installed, the mA signal received by the host is scaled from
4–20 mA. If the adapter-barrier is not installed, the mA signal received by the host is scaled from
12–20 mA. For the configuration and maintenance tasks listed below, you must know which scale
applies:
•Configuring the fault value (if Fault Action is set to Downscale)
•Performing a loop test on the mA output
Detailed Setup > Config Outputs > HART Output >
ProLink > Configuration > Device.
Detailed Setup > Device Information > Tag.
ProLink > Configuration > Device.
•Performing an mA output trim or scaled AO trim
•Viewing output levels
For these tasks, Micro Motion has included scale conversion routines in the Communicator device
description and in ProLink II. These tools will perform scale conversion based on the mA
measurement point (see Section 3.4.1). If you are not using the Communicator or ProLink II, you may
need to perform scale conversion manually (see Section 3.4.2).
3.4.1Specifying the mA measurement point
The mA measurement point is used by ProLink II and the Communicator to interpret the mA data, that
is, whether to use a 12–20 mA scale or a 4–20 mA scale. Both ProLink II and the Communicator
prompt you to specify this information whenever it is needed.

Figure 3-1 illustrates the mA measurement point options. As shown:
•If your installation does not include the Micro Motion adapter-barrier, always use 12–20 mA. .
•If your installation does include the Micro Motion adapter-barrier, be sure you know the
location of the measurement device and set the mA measurement point appropriately:
-If the mA measurement device is between the transmitter and the adapter-barrier, use
12–20 mA.
-If the mA measurement device is between the adapter-barrier and the host, use 4–20 mA.
•If you don’t know how to set the mA measurement point, specify Don’t Know. The
Communicator and ProLink II will display data for both output scales.

This section provides information that may be useful before and during configuration.
3.5.1Write-protection
Before beginning configuration, you may need to disable write-protection. To do this:
•Using ProLink II, click
write-protection option is disabled.
•Using the Communicator, select
Disable Write Protect
•Using the display:
a.Enter the display menu system.
When you connect a digital multimeter (DMM) to the I/O wiring, it reads
13.5 mA. At the mA receiving device, you see a value of 7.2 mA. You
don’t know if you have an adapter-barrier or if respanning is
implemented in the DCS. Is there a problem?
1. Convert 13.5 mA to the corresponding value on the 4–20 mA scale:
2. Compare and interpret the results: 7 vs. 7.2.
In this case, you probably do not have a configuration or wiring problem
but you may want to perform an mA output trim.

OperationAppendicesMaintenance and TroubleshootingCommissioning
4.2Characterizing the flowmeter
Characterizing the flowmeter adjusts the transmitter to compensate for the unique traits of the sensor
it is paired with. The characterization parameters, or calibration parameters, describe the sensor’s
sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature.
If the transmitter and sensor were ordered together, the flowmeter was characterized at the factory.
You need to characterize the flowmeter only if the transmitter and sensor are being paired together for
the first time. However, you may want to verify the characterization parameters.
The characterization parameters are listed in Table 4-1. The characterization parameters for your
sensor are provided on the sensor tag.

Configuration:
•Flow direction = Forward Only
•mA output: LRV = 0 g/s; URV = 100 g/s

As a result:
•Under conditions of zero flow, the mA output of the transmitter is
12 mA.
•Under conditions of reverse flow, the mA output saturates at
11.9 mA.
•Under conditions of forward flow, up to a flow rate of 100 g/s, the
mA output of the transmitter varies between 12 mA and 20 mA in
proportion to (the absolute value of) the flow rate.
•Under conditions of forward flow, if (the absolute value of) the flow
rate equals or exceeds 100 g/s, the mA output will be proportional
to the flow rate up to 20.5 mA, and will be level at 20.5 mA at
higher flow rates.

4.4.2Mass flow cutoff
If the mass flow measurement drops below the configured mass flow cutoff, the transmitter will report
0 for the mass flowrate.
The default value for the mass flow cutoff is 0.0 g/s. The recommended setting is 5% of the sensor’s
rated maximum flow rate.
Note the following:
•The mass flow cutoff is not applied to either volume (liquid) or gas standard volume
measurement. Even if the measured mass flow drops below the mass flow cutoff, and therefore
the mass flow indicators go to zero, the volume flow rate will be calculated from the actual
mass flow process variable.
•The mass flow rate reported via the mA output may also be limited by the AO cutoff. See
Section 6.2.3 for more information.

transmitter will report a value of 0 for volume flow or GSV flow.
Note the following:
•If Volume Flow Type is set to Liquid:
•The volume flow rate is affected by the density cutoff. Accordingly, if the density drops
below its configured cutoff value, the volume flow rate will go to zero even if flow is
present and the volume flow rate is above the volume flow cutoff.
•The volume flow rate is not affected by the mass flow cutoff.
•If Volume Flow Type is set to GSV, the volume flow rate is not affected by either the density

4.7.4Slug flow parameters
Slugs – gas in a liquid process or liquid in a gas process – occasionally appear in some applications.
The presence of slugs can significantly affect the process density reading. The slug flow parameters
can help the transmitter suppress extreme changes in process variables, and can also be used to
identify process conditions that require correction.
Slug flow parameters are as follows:
OperationAppendicesMaintenance and TroubleshootingCommissioning
•Low slug flow limit – the point below which a condition of slug flow will exist. Typically, this
is the lowest density point in your process’s normal density range. Default value is 0.0 g/cm
3
range is 0.0–10.0 g/cm
.
3
•High slug flow limit – the point above which a condition of slug flow will exist. Typically, this
is the highest density point in your process’s normal density range. Default value is 5.0 g/cm
3
range is 0.0–10.0 g/cm
.
3
•Slug flow duration – the number of seconds the transmitter waits for a slug flow condition
(outside the slug flow limits) to return to normal (inside the slug flow limits).
Configuration and Use Manual45
;
;
Configuring Process Measurement
If the transmitter detects slug flow:
•A slug flow alarm is posted immediately.
•During the slug duration period, the transmitter holds the mass flow rate at the last measured
pre-slug value, independent of the mass flow rate measured by the sensor. All outputs that
report mass flow rate and all internal calculations that include mass flow rate will use this
value.
•If slugs are still present after the slug duration period expires, the transmitter forces the mass
flow rate to 0, independent of the mass flow rate measured by the sensor. All outputs that
report mass flow rate and all internal calculations that include mass flow rate will use 0.
•When process density returns to a value within the slug flow limits, the slug flow alarm is
cleared and the mass flow rate reverts to the actual measured value.
Note: The slug flow limits must be entered in g/cm
density. Slug flow duration is entered in seconds.
Note: Raising the low slug flow limit or lowering the high slug flow limit will increase the possibility
of slug flow conditions. Conversely, lowering the low slug flow limit or raising the high slug flow limit
will decrease the possibility of slug flow conditions.
Note: If slug flow duration is set to 0, the mass flow rate will be forced to 0 as soon as slug flow is
detected.

4.9Configuring pressure compensation
The Model 2200S transmitter can compensate for the effect of pressure on the sensor flow tubes.
Pressure effect is defined as the change in sensor flow and density sensitivity due to process pressure
change away from calibration pressure.
Note: Pressure compensation is optional. Perform this procedure only if required by your application.
The Model 2200S transmitter supports only static pressure compensation; i.e., the external pressure is
a known static value.
OperationAppendicesMaintenance and TroubleshootingCommissioning
Detailed Setup > Config Fld Dev Var > Temperature.
4.9.1Pressure correction factors
When configuring pressure compensation, you must provide the flow calibration pressure – the
pressure at which the sensor was calibrated (which therefore defines the pressure at which there will
be no effect on the calibration factor). Enter 20 PSI unless the calibration document for your sensor
indicates a different calibration pressure.
Two additional pressure correction factors may be configured: one for flow and one for density. These
are defined as follows:
•Flow factor – the percent change in the flow rate per psi
•Density factor – the change in fluid density, in g/cm

4.10Damping
Damping helps the transmitter smooth out small, rapid measurement fluctuations. A damping value
specifies the period of time, in seconds, over which the process variable value will change to reflect
63% of the change in the actual process.
Damping can be configured for flow, density, and temperature (see Sections 4.3.2, 4.7.3, and 4.8.2.).
When you specify a new damping value, it is automatically rounded down to the nearest valid
damping value. Valid damping values are listed in Table 4-8.
Note: For gas applications, Micro Motion recommends a minimum flow damping value of 2.56.
Before setting the damping values, review the following sections for information on how the damping
values interact with other transmitter measurements and parameters.
Table 4-8Valid damping values
Process variableValid damping values
Flow (mass and volume)0, 0.04, 0.08, 0.16, ... 40.96
Density0, 0.04, 0.08, 0.16, ... 40.96
Temperature0, 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, 4.8, ... 76.8
•A high damping value makes the output appear to be smoother because the output must change
slowly.
•A low damping value makes the output appear to be more erratic because the output changes
more quickly.
Configuration and Use Manual49
Configuring Process Measurement
4.10.1Damping and volume measurement
When configuring damping values, note the following:
•Liquid volume flow is derived from mass and density measurements; therefore, any damping
applied to mass flow and density will affect liquid volume measurement.
•Gas standard volume flow is derived from mass flow measurement, but not from density
measurement. Therefore, only damping applied to mass flow will affect gas standard volume
measurement.
Be sure to set damping values accordingly.
4.10.2Interaction with the Added Damping parameter
The mA output has a damping parameter called Added Damping. If damping is set to non-zero value
for flow, density, or temperature, the same process variable is assigned to the mA output, and Added
Damping is also set to a non-zero value, the effect of damping the process variable is calculated first,
and the added damping calculation is applied to the result of that calculation.
See Section 6.2.4 for more information on the Added Damping parameter.

5.2.3Display variables and display precision
The display can scroll through up to 15 process variables in any order. You can configure the process
variables to be displayed and the order in which they should appear.
Auto Scroll may or may not be enabled:
•If Auto Scroll is enabled, each configured display variable will be shown for the number of
seconds specified for Scroll Rate.
•Whether Auto Scroll is enabled or not, the operator can manually scroll through the configured
display variables by pressing
Additionally, you can configure display precision for each display variable. Display precision controls
the number of digits to the right of the decimal place shown on the display. Precision can be set to any
value from 0 to 5.
Note: The display precision does not affect the precision of the value as stored, processed, or reported
via the mA output or digital communications.
Note: The display is capable of displaying special measurement units. If you have defined a special
measurement unit, it will be listed for selection.
Table 5-1 shows an example of a display variable configuration. Notice that you can repeat variables,
and you can also specify None for any display variable except Display Var 1. For information on how

5.3Configuring fault handling
The Model 2200S transmitter performs self-diagnostics during operation. If the device detects certain
events or conditions, the configured fault handling is implemented. Fault handling may include:
•Performing the mA output fault action and the digital communications fault action, and
showing alarm information on the display
•Posting an alarm to the active alarm log
Status alarm severity controls which of these methods is used.
Last measured value timeout is used to delay the mA output fault action, for certain faults only. The
digital communications fault action is always performed immediately.
5.3.1Status alarm severity
Status alarms are classified into three levels of severity. The severity level controls transmitter
behavior when the alarm condition occurs. See Table 5-4.

Detailed Setup > Config Outputs > Channel Setup >
•Using the display, see Figure 2-13.
6.2.2mA output scale (LRV and URV)
The mA output represents the assigned process variable along a linear scale that ranges from 12 to
20 mA. You must specify:
•The lower range value (LRV) – the value of the process variable that will be represented by a
transmitter output of 12 mA
•The upper range value (URV) – the value of the process variable that will be represented by a
transmitter output of 20 mA
Note: If the Micro Motion adapter-barrier is installed, the LRV will be represented by a transmitter
output of 12 mA and an adapter-barrier output of 4 mA. The URV is not affected.
Note the following:
•The URV can be set below the LRV; for example, the URV can be set to 0 and the LRV can be
set to 100.
•Each process variable has its own LRV and URV. The transmitter stores the site-specified LRV
and URV settings for each process variable. When the process variable assignment is changed,
the LRV and URV are reset to the corresponding stored values. If you change the process
variable assignment, be sure to verify the LRV and URV settings before resuming operation.
Default LRV and URV settings are listed in Table 6-3.

6.2.3AO cutoff
The AO (analog output) cutoff specifies the lowest mass flow or volume flow value that will be
reported through the mA output. Any mass flow or volume flow values below the AO cutoff will be
reported as zero.
The AO cutoff can be configured only if the process variable assigned to the mA output is mass flow,
volume flow, or GSV flow. If a non-flow process variable has been assigned to the mA output, the AO
Cutoff menu option is not available.
Note: For most applications, the default AO cutoff is used. Contact Micro Motion customer support
before changing the AO cutoff.
Multiple cutoffs
Cutoffs can also be configured for the mass flow and volume flow process variables (see Sections
4.4.2 and 4.6.1). If mass flow or volume flow has been assigned to the mA output, a non-zero value is
configured for the flow cutoff, and the AO cutoff is also configured, the cutoff occurs at the highest
setting, as shown in the following examples.
Example
Configuration:
•mA output process variable: Mass flow
•AO Cutoff: 10 g/sec
•Mass Flow Cutoff: 15 g/sec
As a result, if the mass flow rate drops below 15 g/sec, the mA output
will report zero flow.

Note: You cannot configure the AO cutoff with the display.
Enter the AO cutoff value in the measurement unit that is configured for the assigned process variable.
6.2.4Added damping
A damping value is a period of time, in seconds, over which the process variable value will change to
reflect 63% of the change in the actual process. Damping helps the transmitter smooth out small,
rapid measurement fluctuations:
•A high damping value makes the output appear to be smoother because the output must change
slowly.
•A low damping value makes the output appear to be more erratic because the output changes
more quickly.
The Added Damping parameter specifies damping that will be applied to the mA output. It affects the
measurement of the process variable assigned to the mA output.
Note: For most applications, the default added damping value is used. Contact Micro Motion
customer support before changing the Added Damping parameter.
Multiple damping parameters
Damping can also be configured for the flow (mass and volume), density, and temperature process
variables (see Sections ). If one of these process variables has been assigned to an mA output, its
damping is set to a non-zero value, and Added Damping is also set to a non-zero value, the effect of
damping the process variable is calculated first, and the added damping calculation is applied to the
result of that calculation. See the following example.
64Micro Motion® Model 2200S Transmitters
Integrating the Meter with the Control System
Example
Configuration:
•Flow Damping: 1
•mA output process variable: Mass flow
•Added Damping: 2
As a result, a change in mass flow will be reflected in the mA output
over a time period that is greater than 3 seconds. The exact time
period is calculated by the transmitter according to internal algorithms
which are not configurable.

When configuring fault behavior, ensure that the configured fault action does not cause measurement
error or process upset, and that your control system can recognize fault conditions. For fault indication,
use the appropriate combination of mA output fault action, digital communications fault action, and
checking status via digital communications (e.g., HART command 48).
If you set the mA Output Fault Action to None, be sure to set the Digital Communications Fault Action to
None (see Section 6.3.1). If you do not, the mA output will not report actual process data, and this may
result in measurement error or unintended consequences for your process.
Configuration and Use Manual65
Integrating the Meter with the Control System
Effects of mA output fault action on transmitter behavior
If the transmitter is operating near the limit of its power requirement:
•And mA Fault Action is set to Upscale, if a fault occurs, the upscale (>20 mA) fault level may
cause the transmitter to oscillate between the A031 alarm (low power) and a no-alarm state.
•And mA Fault Action is set to Downscale, if a fault occurs, power to the transmitter may fall
below the transmitter's minimum requirements, causing the transmitter to shut down. When
sufficient power is restored, the transmitter will spontaneously restart.
If the power supply to the transmitter is within the ranges specified in the transmitter installation
manual, these conditions should not occur.
mA output fault action delay
By default, the transmitter immediately performs the mA fault action when a fault is encountered. You
can delay the mA fault action by changing LMV Timeout. See Section 5.3.2.
Fault indication with the mA output
Depending on your process and control system, you may be able to use the mA fault action as a fault
indicator. If you choose to do this, be sure that your control system recognizes the configured fault
value as a fault.
If mA Fault Action is set to None, make sure that a fault detection method is in place, e.g., checking
status via digital communications.

6.3.2Loop current mode
The Loop Current Mode parameter is used to fix or unfix the mA output:
•If the Loop Current Mode parameter is disabled, the mA output from the transmitter is fixed at
12 mA and therefore cannot be used to report process data. If the Micro Motion
adapter-barrier is installed, the mA output will appear to be fixed at 4 mA.
•If the Loop Current Mode parameter is enabled, the mA output will report process data as
configured.
Configuration and Use Manual67

Note: Whenever you use ProLink II to set the HART address to 0, ProLink II also enables the Loop
Current Mode parameter (places a check in the checkbox). Whenever you use ProLink II to set the
HART address to any other value, ProLink II also disables the Loop Current Mode parameter. Be sure
to verify the Loop Current Mode setting after you configure the transmitter’s HART address.
Note: Whenever you use the Communicator to set the HART address to 0, Loop Current Mode is
automatically enabled. Whenever you use the Communicator to set the HART address to any other
value, Loop Current Mode is automatically disabled. If you need to change this, first set the HART
address as required, then use ProLink II to configure Loop Current Mode.

the SV (secondary variable), the TV (tertiary variable), and the QV (quaternary variable). A process
variable such as mass flow is assigned to each HART variable.
The values of the assigned process variables can be reported or read in several ways:
•The PV is automatically reported through the mA output. It can also be queried via digital
communications or reported via burst mode. If you change the PV, the process variable
assigned to the mA output is changed automatically, and vice versa. See Section 6.2.1.
•The SV, TV, and QV are not reported through an output. They can be queried via digital
communications or reported via burst mode.

6.3.4Burst mode
Burst mode is a specialized mode of communication during which the transmitter regularly broadcasts
HART digital information over the mA output. Burst mode is ordinarily disabled, and should be
enabled only if another device on the network requires burst mode communication.
Note: If burst mode is enabled, HART/Bell 202 communications via a HART modem (as required by
ProLink II) may be very slow, or the HART connection may fail completely. If either of these occurs,
disable burst mode, use a communications tool that does not require a HART modem (i.e., the
Communicator), try a HART modem from a different vendor, or try a USB HART modem. Ensure that
RTS line control is managed by the modem.

Testing and Moving to Production
7.1Overview
This chapter contains information and procedures that may be useful for testing the flowmeter before
moving it into production. The following topics are discussed:
•Zeroing the flowmeter – see Section 7.2
•Loop testing – see Section 7.3
•Trimming the mA output – see Section 7.4
•Using sensor simulation to test the system – see Section 7.5
•Backing up the configuration – see Section 7.6
•Write-protecting the configuration – see Section 7.7
Before performing any of the procedures in this chapter, make an administrative connection to the
transmitter and ensure that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements.
OperationAppendicesMaintenance and TroubleshootingCommissioning
7.2Flowmeter zero
Zeroing the flowmeter establishes the flowmeter’s point of reference when there is no flow. The meter
was zeroed at the factory, and should not require a field zero. However, you may wish to perform a
field zero to meet local requirements or to confirm the factory zero.
When you zero the flowmeter, you may need to adjust the zero time parameter. Zero time is the
amount of time the transmitter takes to determine its zero-flow reference point. The default zero time
is 20 seconds.
•A long zero time may produce a more accurate zero reference but is more likely to result in a
zero failure. This is due to the increased possibility of noisy flow, which causes incorrect
calibration.
•A short zero time is less likely to result in a zero failure but may produce a less accurate zero
reference.
For most applications, the default zero time is appropriate.
Note: Do not zero the flowmeter if a high-severity alarm is active. Correct the problem, then zero the
flowmeter. You may zero the flowmeter if a low-severity alarm is active. See Section 8.6 for
information on viewing transmitter status and alarms.
If the zero procedure fails, two recovery functions are provided:
•Restore Prior Zero
•Restore Factory Zero
Configuration and Use Manual71
Testing and Moving to Production
If desired, you can use one of these functions to return the meter to operation while you are
troubleshooting the cause of the zero failure (see Section 10.6). Availability of these functions
depends on the tool you are using to zero the flowmeter:
•If you are using the Communicator or the display, only Restore Factory Zero is available.
•If you are using ProLink II, both Restore Prior Zero and Restore Factory Zero are available.
7.2.1Preparing for zero
To prepare for the zero procedure:
1. Apply power to the flowmeter. Allow the flowmeter to warm up for approximately 20 minutes.
2. Run the process fluid through the sensor until the sensor temperature reaches the normal
process operating temperature.
3. Close the shutoff valve downstream from the sensor.
4. Ensure that the sensor is completely filled with fluid.
5. Ensure that the process flow has completely stopped.
flowing through the sensor while zero calibration is in process. If there is, the calibration results
may be inaccurate, resulting in inaccurate process measurement.
CAUTION! Ensure that there is no fluid
7.2.2Performing the zero procedure
To zero the flowmeter:
•Using the display, see Figure 7-1.
•Using the Communicator, see Figure 7-2.
•Using ProLink II, see Figure 7-3.

7.3Loop testing
A loop test is a means to:
•Verify that the mA output is being sent by the transmitter and received accurately by the
receiving devices
•Determine whether or not you need to trim the mA output
Note the following:
•During the loop test, the transmitter’s mA output will not report process data.
not use the mA output for process control while you are performing the loop test.
•If you are using ProLink II or the Communicator, enter the fixed value in the scale that you

7.4Trimming the milliamp output
Trimming the mA output creates a common measurement range between the transmitter and the device
that receives the mA output. For example, a transmitter might send a 12 mA signal that the receiving
device reports incorrectly as 12.2 mA. If the transmitter output is trimmed correctly, it will send a
signal appropriately compensated to ensure that the receiving device actually indicates a 12 mA
signal.
Note: If a barrier or the Micro Motion adapter-barrier is installed, the mA output trim procedure can
be extended to include additional trimming and calibration. See Section 7.4.2.
You must trim the mA output at both the 12 mA and 20 mA points to ensure appropriate
compensation across the entire output range.
7.4.1Basic mA output trim
To trim the output:
•Using the Communicator, see Figure 7-7.
•Using ProLink II, see Figure 7-8.
Additionally, if you are using a Communicator, you can perform a scaled AO trim. The scaled AO
trim is used when the reference meter’s low and high values are not 4 and 20 mA. To perform a scaled
AO trim, see Figure 7-9.

7.4.2Expanded mA output trim
Adapt the following procedure as required for your installation:
1. Trim the mA output at the Model 2200S transmitter as described in Section 7.4.1. Use a
milliamp measurement point between the Model 2200S transmitter and the I.S. barrier or the
Micro Motion adapter-barrier (i.e., mA Measurement Point = 12–20 mA).
2. At the transmitter, fix the mA output to 12 mA, then check the mA reading at the host.
3. At the transmitter, fix the mA output to 20 mA, then check the mA reading at the host.
4. If the mA readings at the host do not meet accuracy requirements:
•If you have an third-party barrier, troubleshoot the barrier installation and wiring.
•If you have the Micro Motion adapter-barrier, calibrate the adapter-barrier. Instructions are
provided in the manual entitled Micro Motion Model 2200S Transmitters: Installation Manual.
Configuration and Use Manual81
Testing and Moving to Production
7.5Using sensor simulation to test, tune, and troubleshoot the system
Sensor simulation allows you to tell the transmitter to behave as if it were receiving specific values for
mass flow, temperature, and density from the sensor. You can use sensor simulation for a variety of
purposes:
•Testing and verifying the flowmeter’s response to a variety of process conditions without
having to create those conditions in the real world.
•Analyzing the system’s response to various process conditions.
•Tuning the loop.
•Locating problems. For example, signal oscillation or noise is a common occurrence. The
source could be the PLC, the meter, improper grounding, or a number of other factors. By
setting up simulation to output a flat signal, then checking the signal at various points between
the transmitter and the receiving device, you can determine the point at which the noise is
introduced.
When sensor simulation is enabled, it affects all analog and digital outputs, and therefore affects all
calculations that include these values. It does not change any diagnostic values.
that your process is prepared to handle the consequences of your simulation setup.
To set up sensor simulation, follow the steps below:
1. If you are using:
•The Communicator, refer to Figure 2-9.
•ProLink II, refer to Figure 2-4.
CAUTION! Be sure
2. Enable sensor simulation mode.
3. For mass flow:
a.Specify the type of simulation you want: fixed value, triangular wave, or sine wave.
b. Enter the required values.
•If you specified fixed value simulation, enter a fixed value.
•If you specified triangular wave or sine wave simulation, enter a minimum amplitude,
maximum amplitude, and period.
4. Repeat Step 3 for temperature and density.
Be sure to disable simulation mode when the tests are complete.
7.6Backing up and restoring the configuration
If you are using ProLink II, you can copy the configuration dataset to a file on your PC. The
configuration dataset can be restored from the PC to the transmitter if required.
To copy the configuration dataset to a file on your PC:
1. Connect to the transmitter using ProLink II.
2. Select
File > Load from Xmtr to File.
3. Specify the name and location of the backup file.
To restore the configuration dataset:
1. Connect to the transmitter using ProLink II.
2. Select
File > Send to Xmtr from File.
3. Specify the name and location of the backup file.

Operating the Transmitter
8.1Overview
This chapter describes how to use the transmitter in everyday operation. The following topics and
procedures are discussed:
•Interpreting mA output data – see Section 8.3
•Recording process variables – see Section 8.4
•Viewing process variables – see Section 8.5
•Viewing and acknowledging status alarms – see Section 8.6
•Viewing and controlling the totalizers and inventories – see Section 8.7
Note: All ProLink II procedures provided in this section assume that your computer is already
connected to the transmitter and you have established communication. All ProLink II procedures also
assume that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Appendix D for more
information.
OperationAppendicesMaintenance and TroubleshootingCommissioning
Note: If you are using AMS, the interface is similar to the ProLink II interface described in this
chapter.
Note: All Communicator key sequences in this section assume that you are starting from the “Online”
menu. See Appendix E for more information.
8.2Warm-up delay
If you have just powered up the flowmeter, the transmitter may not be warmed up sufficiently, and
may exhibit minor instability or inaccuracy. If you observe this, wait approximately ten minutes. If the
condition does not disappear, follow normal troubleshooting procedures.
8.3Interpreting mA output data
Verify that the host or mA receiving device is interpreting the mA signal correctly: scaled either from
12–20 mA or from 4–20 mA. If the host is receiving a 12–20 mA signal, you may want to configure it
to rescale the input to 4–20 mA. For more information, see Section 3.4.
Be sure to interpret and rescale process data reported via the mA output as appropriate to your
installation. If you do not, you may experience measurement error and unintended consequences for your
process.
Note: If you are reading process data from the display, or if you are reading process data remotely
using HART digital communications, the mA output scale does not affect process values.
Configuration and Use Manual85
Operating the Transmitter
8.4Recording process variables
Micro Motion suggests that you make a record of the process variables listed below, under normal
operating conditions. This will help you recognize when the process variables are unusually high or
low, and may help in fine-tuning transmitter configuration.
Record the following process variables:
•Flow rate
•Density
•Temperature
•Tube frequency
•Pickoff voltage
•Drive gain
For information on using this information in troubleshooting, see Section 10.13.

8.6Viewing and acknowledging status alarms
Specific process or flowmeter conditions cause status alarms.
Down Arrow.
OperationAppendicesMaintenance and TroubleshootingCommissioning
Note: For detailed information on status alarms, including possible causes and troubleshooting
suggestions, see Table 10-3.
8.6.1About status alarms
Each status alarm has an alarm code.
Status alarms are classified into three severity levels: Fault, Information, and Ignore. Severity level
controls how the transmitter responds to the alarm condition.
Note: Some status alarms can be reclassified, i.e., configured for a different severity level. For
information on configuring severity level, see Section 5.3.1.
The transmitter maintains two status flags for each alarm:
•The first status flag indicates “active” or “inactive.”
•The second status flag indicates “acknowledged” or “unacknowledged.”
Configuration and Use Manual87
Operating the Transmitter
When the transmitter detects an alarm condition:
•Its status flags are set as follows:
-The first status flag is set to “active.”
-The second status flag is set to “unacknowledged.”
•The transmitter checks severity level for the specific alarm:
-For Fault alarms, an alarm record is written to the active alarm log and the configured fault
actions are performed (after the LMV Timeout has expired, if applicable).
-For Informational alarms, an alarm record is written to the active alarm log, but fault
actions are not performed. Both the mA output and digital communications behave as if no
fault was active.
-For Ignore alarms, no alarm record is written to the active alarm log and fault actions are
not performed. Both the mA output and digital communications behave as if no fault was
active.
When the transmitter detects that the alarm condition has cleared:
•The first status flag is set to “inactive.”
•The second status flag is not changed.
•The mA output and digital communications return to normal operation (Fault alarms only).
Operator action is required to return the second status flag to “acknowledged.” Alarm
acknowledgment is not necessary.
8.6.2With the display
Depending on your display configuration:
•You can use the process variable display to determine if an unidentified Fault or Informational
alarm is active. No alarm codes are provided.
•You can view the list of active Fault and Informational alarms from the process variable
display. This list identifies alarms by alarm code.
•You can use the display alarm menu to view active and unacknowledged Fault and
Informational alarms, and you can acknowledge single alarms or all alarms.
If a Fault or Informational alarm is active, the display flashes the term
with the unit of measure. If both a Fault alarm and an Informational alarm are active,
ALM_F or ALM_I alternately

8.6.3With ProLink II
ProLink II provides two ways to view status alarm information:
•The Status window displays the current status of all possible alarms, including Ignore alarms.
A green LED indicates “inactive” and a red LED indicates “active.” The acknowledgment
status bit is not shown, and you cannot acknowledge alarms from the Status window. Alarms
are organized into three categories: Critical, Informational, and Operational.
•The Alarm Log window lists all active and all inactive but unacknowledged Fault and
Information alarms. The transmitter automatically filters out Ignore alarms. A green LED
indicates “inactive but unacknowledged” and a red LED indicates “active.” Alarms are
organized into two categories: High Priority and Low Priority. You can view and acknowledge
alarms from the Alarm Log window.
Note: The location of alarms in the Status window or the Alarm Log window is not affected by the
configured alarm severity. Alarms are predefined as Critical, Informational, or Operational, or as
High Priority or Low Priority.

•The timestamp, which is the number of seconds that this alarm has been active, while the
transmitter has been powered on.
Note: The timestamp value is not reset during a transmitter power cycle. To reset this value, you must
perform a master reset or use a Modbus command. Contact Micro Motion customer support.
The totalizers keep track of the total amount of mass or volume measured by the transmitter over a
period of time. The totalizers can be started and stopped, and the totals can be viewed and reset.
The inventories track the same values as the totalizers, but inventory values can be reset separately.
This allows you to keep a running total of mass or volume across multiple resets.
8.7.1Viewing current totals for totalizers and inventories
You can view current totals for the totalizers and inventories with the display, ProLink II, or the
Communicator.
With the display
Note: You cannot view current totals with the display unless the total has been configured as a display
