Security mode 8
When transmitter security is set for mode 8, the transmitter meets
security requirements for custody transfer described in National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44.
Once the transmitter is configured for security mode 8, the security
mode cannot be changed unless a master reset is performed. A master
reset causes all configuration parameters to return to their default
values, and
requires complete characterization and reconfiguration
of the trans m i tt e r.
If the user attempts to enter a new security mode or change the
transmitter configuration after entering security mode 8:
• Internal totalizers stop counting
• The frequency/pulse output goes to 0 Hz
• mA outputs go to 4 mA
• The display reads "SECURITY BREACH; SENSOR OK"
• Custody transfer event registers record each change made to defined
configuration and calibration parameters. (For a list of these
parameters, see
Table 6-2
, page 64.)
The security breach continues, and totalizers and outputs remain
inactive, until the transmitter is reconfigured for security mode 8, or until
a master reset has been performed. Custody transfer ev ent registers are
not affected by a master reset.
• For information about event registers, see
• To perform a master reset, see
Section 7.7

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

Communication settings
Switch 5 enables the user to choose the standard communication
configuration or user-defined parameters. With switch 10 in the ON
(CONFIG) position, switches 1 through 6 can be used for setting userdefined communication parameters.
Standard communication setting
To use the standard communication configuration, set switch 5 to the
STD COMM position. Setting the switch in this position establishes the
following parameters:
• HART protocol on the Bell 202 standard, at 1200 baud, on the primary
mA output
• Modbus protocol in RTU mode, at 9600 baud, on the RS-485 output
• 1 stop bit, odd parity
For RFT9739 software versions 3.6 and later, if switch 5 is in the STD
COMM position, an error message will appear on the RFT9739 display
when an attempt is made to change the communication configuration
using the RFT9739 display controls.
User-defined communication settings
To establish user-defined settings, set switch 5 to the USER-DEFINED
position, then use the buttons on the front panel to set baud rate; stop
bits and parity; data bits, protocol, and physical layer.
• When the transmitter is shipped from the factory, the default settings
are HART protocol, over RS-485, at 1200 baud, with 1 stop bit and odd
parity .
• For more information on using the display, see
Section 6.2
, page 60.
Pow er-Supply and

Milliamp output scaling
Switches 7, 8, and 9 allow the user to choose 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA
scaling for mA outputs, and upscale or downscale fault outputs.
Switch 7 defines the primary mA output scaling. Switch 8 defines the
secondary mA output scaling. Either switch may be set in the 0-20
position or the 4-20 position.
• The mA outputs are NAMUR compliant when switches 7 and 8 are in
the 4-20 position. See
Section 5.3
, page 27.
• Communication using the HART protocol over the primary mA output
requires switch 7 to be set in the 4-20 position.
• If switch 7 is in the 0-20 mA position, communication may be lost if
output is less than 2 mA. T o re-establish communication, move s witch 7
to the 4-20mA position.
Switch 9 defines the RFT9739 fault outputs. Fault outputs can be set for
downscale or upscale levels.
• If switch 9 is set to the DWNSCALE position, mA outputs go to 0 mA if
they produce a 0-20 mA current, or to 0-2 mA if they produce a
4-20 mA current; the frequency/pulse output goes to 0 Hz.
• If switch 9 is set to the UPSCALE position, mA outputs go to 22-24 mA;
the frequency/pulse output goes to 15-19 kHz.
• For more information, see "Fault outputs", page 69.

4.3Changing power-supply
voltage
Fuses for the power-supply input are located inside the transmitter
housing on the power board. The transmitter has two fuses: one for an
AC power supply and one for a DC power supply.
• The AC power supply uses a UL/CSA 250mA/250V, time-lag, 5x20mm.
• The DC power supply uses a UL/CSA 2A/125V, time-lag, 5x20mm.
To access the AC-power fuse, remove the top cover. To access the
DC-power fuse, remove the bottom cover. Locate the power board. The
locations of the fuses on the board are indicated in
Figure 4-3
, page 21.
A switch labeled S1, located inside the transmitter on the power board
Figure 4-3
(see
), allows the AC power-supply voltage to be changed.
When switching from AC to DC power:
1. Remove the AC power wiring.
2. Properly install the DC wiring.
When switching AC voltage, or when switching from DC to AC
power:
1. Turn off power, then detach the existing power-supply wiring.
2. Remove the transmitter top cover.
3. Locate the power board. The location of switch S1 is indicated in
Figure 4-3

4.4Sensor wiring
Cable connections to
sensor and transmitter
The instructions in this section explain how to connect a fully prepared
Micro Motion flowmeter cable to the RFT9739 and a sensor. The sensor
can be a Micro Motion ELITE, F-Series, Model D, DL, or DT sensor.
• The procedure for preparing Micro Motion flowmeter cable and cable
glands is described in the instructions that are shipped with the cable.
• Install cable and wiring to meet local code requirements.
• Use Micro Motion color-coded cable.
• Total length of cable from the sensor to the transmitter must not exceed
1000 feet (300 meters).
CAUTION
Improper installation of cable or conduit could cause
inaccurate measurements or flowmeter failure.
Keep cable away from devices such as transformers,
motors, and power lines, which produce large magnetic
fields.
CAUTION
Failure to seal sensor junction box could cause a
short circuit, which w ould result i n measureme nt error
or flowmeter failure.
To reduce risk of condensation or excessive moisture in
the sensor junction box:
• Seal all conduit openings.
• Install drip legs in conduit or cable.
• Fully tighten junction box cover.
The wiring procedure is the same for the sensor and transmitter. Refer to
the wiring diagrams on pages 23 through 24, and follow these steps:
1. Insert the stripped ends of the individual wires into the terminal
blocks. No bare wires should remain exposed.
• At the sensor, connect wiring inside the sensor junction box.
• At the transmitter, connect wiring to the transmitter's intrinsically
safe sensor terminals for sensor wiring, as numbered in
Table 4-2
,
page 23. The transmitter terminal block can be unplugged for easier
connection of wiring.
2. Locate the wires by color as indicated in
Table 4-2
, page 23.
3. Tighten the screws to hold the wires in place.
4. Tightly close the sensor junction-box cover. On an ELITE sensor
junction box, tighten all four cover screws.

WARNING
Failure to comply with requirements for
intrinsic safety if the sensor is installed in a hazardou s
area could result in an explosion.
Output wiring is not intrinsically safe.
• Keep output wiring separated from power-supply wiring
and intrinsically safe sensor wiring.
• Follow all output wiring instructions to ensure the
transmitter and any connected devices will operate
correctly.
Output wiring connects to the terminals on connector CN2. Connector
CN2 is not intrinsically safe.
describe terminal designations on connector CN2, which can be
unplugged from the transmitter housing for easier installation of wiring.
• To avoid possible electrical interference, do not install output wiring in
the same conduit or cable tray as power-supply wiring or intrinsically
safe sensor wiring.
• Use individually shielded pairs of 22 AWG (0.3 mm²) or larger wires for
connections between the transmitter and any peripheral device.
• Connect shields of twisted-pairs to terminals CN2-Z4 and/or CN2-D4.

5.2Maximum wire length
RFT9739 Rack-Moun t Transmitter Instruction Manu al
Currently, there is no system for accurately estimating the maximum
length of wire between the RFT9739 and a connected peripheral device.
Most applications will be able to use wire lengths up to 500 feet for
22 AWG wire (150 meters for 0.3 mm² wire), 50 feet for 28 AWG wire
(15 meters for 0.1 mm² wire), between the transmitter and any
peripheral device. However, these distances are estimates only.
Prior to commissioning the transmitter, a loop-test is recommended as a
means for determining whether or not output signals are being received
correctly at the receiving device.

5.3Primary and secondary
mA outputs
The RFT9739 primary and secondary mA output signals can be
independently configured, and can represent flow, density, temperature,
event 1 or event 2. With a pressure transmitter, the primary and
secondary mA output signals can also represent pressure. For
information on configuring mA outputs for events, see any of the
following manuals or AMS on-line help:
Using the HART Communicator with Micro Motion Transmitters
•
Using ProLink Software with Micro Motion Transmitters
•
Using Modbus Protocol with Micro Motion Transmitters
•
The mA outputs can produce a user-selected 0-20 or 4-20 mA current.
(See "Milliamp output scaling," page 9.)
• When configured to produce 4-20 mA current, the mA output loop can
supply loop-powered process indicators.
For transmitters with software version 3.8 or higher,
•
when
configured to produce 4-20 mA current, the mA outputs are compliant
with the NAMUR NE43 standard. (All RFT9739 transmitters shipped
after November 1999 have software version 3.8 or higher.)
CAUTION
Milliamp output range has changed.
When configured for 4-20 mA, milliamp outputs will not
output live signals between 2.0 and 3.8 mA, or between
20.5 and 22 mA.
Pow er-Supply and
Sensor Wiring
In compliance with the NAMUR NE43 standard:
• 4-20 mA outputs will produce a live signal from 3.8 to 20.5 mA.
• 4-20 mA outputs will not produce a signal between 2.0 and 3.8 mA, or
• 4-20 mA output performance is illustrated in
Figure 5-2. 4-20 mA output performance

Systems that rely on milliamp output signals in the ranges
listed above might not perform as expected. For RFT9739

• Primary and secondary mA output loops are isolated and floating.
Additional grounding will result in optimum performance, and optimum
HART communication on the primary mA output. Ensure that mA
output loops are grounded properly, either at the transmitter end, or at
the external device.
• The maximum allowable length for mA signal wiring is determined by
measuring resistance over the signal wires and through the receiver
device. Total loop resistance must not exceed 1000 ohms.
• The primary mA output must be set to the 4-20 mA mode for the
Bell 202 physical layer. The Bell 202 layer will not work with the primary
mA output configured as a 0-20 mA output.
• The mA output is active and cannot be converted to passive.

CAUTION
Connecting a HART device to the RFT9739 primary variable milliamp output loop could cause transmitter
output error.
If the primary variable (PV) analog output is being used for flow control, connecting a HART device to the output
loop could cause the transmitter 4-20 mA output to change, which would affect flow control devices.
Set control devices for manual operation before connecting a HART device to the RFT9 739 primary variable

5.4Frequency outputs
Frequency/pulse output
The RFT9739 frequency outputs include a frequency/pulse output, a
dual-channel phase-shifted frequency output for custody transfer
applications, and an optocoupler output.
• The frequency output loops are isolated and floating from other circuits
except the control output and external-zero input circuits. Ensure that
frequency output loops are grounded properly, either at the transmitter
end, or at the external device.
• The frequency output circuit uses a 2.2 kohm resistor tied to a 15-volt
source that limits the current to 7 mA. The output circuit is rated to
30 VDC, with 0.1 ampere maximum sinking capability, when used in
open collector mode. Open collector mode is described on page 33.
• The output is a nominal +15 V or +30 V square wave, unloaded. See
"Setting voltage level for VDE output requirements," page 37.
• Output impedance is 2.2 kohm.
• For use with receivers other than Micro Motion peripheral devices,
check the instruction manual for the receiver to make sure its inputvoltage and electrical-current ratings match the RFT9739 ratings.
The frequency/pulse output represents the flow rate, independent of the
primary and secondary mA outputs. The frequency/pulse output can be
used with all Micro Motion peripheral devices except the DMS Density
Monitoring System and the PI 4-20 Process Indicator, which do not have
frequency inputs.
The RFT9739 frequency/pulse output can be configured to provide any
one of the following:
• Mass flow rate
• Volume flow rate
• Mass flow total
• Volume flow total
Mass flow total and volume flow total are not available with some
RFT9739 transmitters shipped prior to 1998.
Use RFT9739 terminals CN2-D24 and CN2-D26 for the frequency/pulse
output. T erminal D26 serves as a common return for the frequency/pulse
output, dual-channel frequency output, control output, and remote zero
input. See

Configuration for constant
current
Applications with high capacitance loading will benefit by wiring the
frequency/pulse output circuit to maintain a constant current source of
50 mA for any load between 0 and 220 ohms. This configuration renders
the control output circuit inoperable, and could affect the optocoupler
and dual-channel frequency outputs.
For constant current, add a jumper across terminals CN2-Z26 and
CN-D24, and a 100 to 250 ohm resistor at the PLC or pulse-counter end
of the cable, as illustrated in
Figure 5-7
.
CAUTION
Adding a jumper across terminals CN2-Z26 and
CN2-D24 renders the control output circuit inoperable.
Do not attempt to use the control output circuit after you
add a jumper across terminals CN2-Z26 and CN2-D24.
The control output can be reconfigured to function properly, independent
of this frequency/pulse wiring procedure. See "Control output in open
collector mode," page 41.
The optocoupler and dual-channel frequency outputs could be affected
by configuring the frequency/pulse output for constant current as
described above. To reduce this risk, use a 250 ohm resistor, as
indicated in

Configuration for open
collector mode
The RFT9739 provides current to the frequency/pulse output circuit. In
applications where this current must be permanently suspended, and for
receiving devices that require input voltage higher than approximately
10 volts, the frequency/pulse output circuit can be used in open collector
mode.
To configure the output for open collector mode, a resistor must be
clipped as described below.
This procedure will permanently alter the
transmitter and cannot be reversed.
• Clip resistor R5 and add an external DC power supply and a pull-up
resistor. See
Figure 5-8
, page 34.
• The pull-up resistor must be of sufficient value to limit loop current to
less than 0.1 ampere, depending on the total loop resistance at the
transmitter.
• To prevent damage to the optocoupler and dual-channel frequency
output circuits, the external voltage must not exceed 15 V.
• Resistor R5 is located on the inside of the RFT9739 back panel.
CAUTION
Clipping resistor R5 will eliminate the internal voltage
source from the transmitter.
After clipping resistor R5, an external power supply is
required to use the transmitter’s frequency/pulse output.

Dual-channel frequency
output
The transmitter has a dual-channel, phase-shifted frequency output for
custody transfer applications. The dual-channel frequency is derived
from the frequency/pulse output, and represents the same flow rate as
the frequency/pulse output. Each dual-channel frequency is always half
the value of the frequency/pulse output. For example, if the
frequency/pulse output is 4,000 Hz, each dual-channel output is
2,000 Hz. The phase shift between channels is 90 degrees.
Use RFT9739 terminals CN2-Z10, CN2-Z12, and CN2-D26 for the dualchannel frequency output. Terminal D26 serves as a common return for

Control output in open
collector mode
The RFT9739 provides current to the control output circuit. In
applications where this current must be permanently suspended, and for
receiving devices that require input voltage higher than approximately
10 volts, the control output circuit can be used in open collector mode.
If the frequency/pulse output is configured for constant current (see
"Configuration for open collector mode," page 33), the control output is
rendered inoperable. To reconfigure the control output to function
properly, independent of this frequency/pulse output configuration, the
control output circuit can be configured for open collector mode.
To configure the control output for open collector mode, a resistor must
be clipped as described below.
This procedure will permanently alter
the transmitter and cannot be reversed.
• Clip resistor R4 and add an external DC power supply and a pull-up
resistor. See
Figure 5-17
, page 42.
• The pull-up resistor must be of sufficient value to limit loop current to
less than 0.1 ampere, depending on the total loop resistance at the
transmitter.
• To prevent damage to the optocoupler and dual-channel frequency
output circuits, the external voltage must not exceed 15 V.
• Resistor R4 is located on the inside of the RFT9739 back panel.
CAUTION
Pow er-Supply and
Sensor Wiring
Clipping resistor R4 will eliminate the internal voltage
source from the transmitter.
After clipping resistor R4 an external power supply is
required to use the transmitter’s control output.
Before permanently altering any equipment, contact the
Micro Motion Customer Service:

CAUTION
Failure to comply with requirements for
intrinsic safety if the sensor is installed in a hazardou s
area could result in an explosion.
Pressure transmitter wiring is not intrinsically safe.
Keep pressure transmitter wiring separated from
intrinsically safe sensor wiring, power-supply wiring, and
any other intrinsically safe wiring.
The RFT9739 accepts pressure input signals from a pressure
transmitter for pressure compensation.
• If a pressure transmitter connected to a host controller measures
gauge pressure at the sensor input, the RFT9739 can compensate for
the pressure effect on the sensor. Pressure compensation is required
only for the sensor models listed in
• Instructions for wiring the RFT9739 to a pressure transmitter are
provided below. Instructions for configuring the RFT9739 for pressure
compensation are provided in the following instruction manuals and in
the AMS on-line help:

The RFT9739 pressure input terminals (CN2-Z6 and CN2-Z20) are
intended for use with a pressure transmitter, and should not be
connected to a control system.
If the RFT9739 is configured for pressure compensation, flowmeter
measurement will not be compensated for pressure during a pressure
input failure. If the signal from the pressure transmitter fails, both of the
following occur:
• The RFT9739 continues to operate in non-fault mode.
• A "Pressure Input Failure" message appears on the transmitter display,
a HART Communicator with the latest memory module, ProLink
software version 2.4 or higher, or AMS software.

5.9RS-485 multidrop network
The RFT9739 can be configured to communicate for any one of the
following options:
• HART protocol over the RS-485 standard
• HART protocol over the Bell 202 standard
• Modbus protocol over the RS-485 standard
• Modbus protocol over the RS-485 standard and HART protocol over
the Bell 202 standard
For communications configuration instructions, see "Communication
configuration mode," page 61. For Bell 202 network wiring, see
Section 5.10
, page 56.
Multiple transmitters can participate in an RS-485 multidrop network that
uses HART or Modbus protocol.
• Under HART protocol, an almost unlimited number of transmitters can
participate in the network. Each transmitter must have a unique tag
name. If polling addresses are used, up to 16 transmitters can have
unique polling addresses from 0 to 15.
• Under Modbus protocol, up to 15 transmitters can participate in the
network. Each transmitter must have a unique polling address from
1to 15.
To connect the transmitter to an RS-485 network, use transmitter
terminals CN2-Z22 and CN2-D22.
Figure 5-29
, page 56, shows how to
connect one RFT9739 or multiple RFT9739 transmitters to a host
controller for RS-485 serial communication.
• Install twisted-pair, shielded cable, consisting of 24-gauge (0.3 mm²) or
larger wire, between the RFT9739 and an RS-485 communication
device. Maximum cable length is 4000 feet (1200 meters).
• Some installations require a 120-ohm, ½-watt resistor at each end of
the network cable to reduce electrical reflections.

• HART protocol over the RS-485 standard
• HART protocol over the Bell 202 standard

For communications configuration instructions, see "Communication
configuration mode," page 61. For RS-485 network wiring, see
Section 5.9
, page 55.
Devices in a Bell 202 multidrop network communicate by sending and
receiving signals to and from one another. HART protocol supports up to
15 transmitters in a Bell 202 multidrop network. The actual maximum
number depends upon the type of transmitters, the method of
installation, and other external factors. Other Rosemount SMART
FAMILY transmitters can also participate in a HART-compatible network.
• A Bell 202 multidrop network uses twisted-pair wire, and allows only
digital communication. Digital communication requires a sample rate of
2 to 31 seconds at 1200 baud.
• A HART Communicator or other HART-compatible control system can
communicate with any device in the network over the same 2-wire pair.
56
Using multiple transmitters in a HART-compatible network requires
assigning a unique address from 1 to 15 to each transmitter.
• Assigning an address of 1 to 15 to the transmitter causes the primary
mA output to remain at a constant 4 mA level.
• The primary mA output must produce a 4-20 mA current for the Bell
202 physical layer . The Bell 202 lay er will not work with the primary mA
output configured as a 0-20 mA output when the current output is
0mA.

6.3Custody transfer event
registers
Event registers are provided for security requirements for custody
transfer applications. When the transmitter is configured for security
mode 8 (see
Section 2.3
, page 5), the transmitter meets security
requirements for custody transfer described in National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44.
Custody transfer event registers record one change for each change
"session." A change session begins when the transmitter is taken out of
security mode 8, and ends when security mode 8 is reentered. To begin
a change session, set switches 1, 2, and 3 to the OFF position. A
change session ends when switches 1, 2, and 3 are reset to the ON
position. After a change session ends, security event registers will
increase by one (1) if any of the parameters listed in
Table 6-2
have
been changed.
• Each register will increase up to 999, then roll over to zero.
• Custody transfer event registers cannot be reset.
View the security event registers using any of the following methods:
• With the RFT9739 display. If the transmitter has a display, event
registers can be viewed from the CONFIG REG and CALIBRATE REG
screens when the transmitter is configured for security mode 8.
• With ProLink software version 2.3 or higher. Refer to on-line help for
instructions.
• With AMS software. Refer to on-line help for instructions.
• With a HART Communicator.
• With a HART-compatible or Modbus-compatible master controller.

6.4Flowmeter zeroing
Zeroing procedure
CAUTION
Failure to zero the flowmeter at initial startup could
cause measurement error.
Zero the flowmeter before putting it in operation.
Flowmeter zeroing establishes flowmeter response to zero flow and sets
a baseline for flow measurement.
To zero the transmitter, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the flowmeter for zeroing:
a. Install the sensor according to the sensor instruction manual.
b. Apply power to the transmitter, then allow it to warm up for at least
30 minutes.
c. Ensure the transmitter is in a security mode that allows flowmeter
zeroing. See "Security modes", page 6.
d. Run the process fluid to be measured through the sensor until the
sensor temperature reading approximates the normal process
operating temperature.
2. Close the shutoff valve downstream from the sensor.

4. Zero the transmitter in any of four ways:
• Press and hold the Reset button for at least ten seconds. (In the rate
screens, "RATE" appears in the upper left corner of the screen.)
• An external contact closure can be used for transmitter zeroing.
(Refer to
Section 5.8

depending on the sensor.
After flowmeter zeroing has been completed, the mass flow rate or
volume flow rate screen reappears, and the blinking "Msg" (message)
indicator appears in the lower right corner. To clear the message
indicator, scroll past the volume inventory screen to the message
screen, which should read "Sensor OK *ERROR CLEARED*".
Diagnosing zero failure
Additional information
about flowmeter zeroing
If zeroing fails, the blinking "Msg" (message) indicator appears. The
message screen will indicate the zero failure with a message such as
"*ZERO ERROR*", "*ZERO TOO HIGH*", or "*ZERO TOO LOW*". An
error condition could indicate:
• Flow of fluid during flowmeter zeroing
• Partially empty flow tubes
• An improperly mounted sensor
To clear a zeroing error, cycle power to the transmitter, ensure that the
sensor flow tubes are filled with fluid and flow is stopped, then re-zero
the flowmeter again.
Flowmeter zeroing can be disabled using the transmitter’s security
modes or with a remote (keyed) switch that disables the RFT9739 Reset
button.

7.1General guidelines
Troubleshooting a Micro Motion flowmeter is performed in two parts:
1. Tests of wiring integrity
2. Observation of the transmitter's diagnostic tools, which include
diagnostic messages and fault output levels.
CAUTION
During troublesho oting, the trans mitter could pr oduce
inaccurate flow signals.
Set control devices for manual operation while
troubleshooting the flowmeter.
Follow these general guidelines when troubleshooting a Micro Motion
flowmeter:
• Before beginning the diagnostic process, become familiar with this
instruction manual and with the instruction manual for the sensor.
• While troubleshooting a problem, leave the sensor in place, if possible.
Problems can result from the specific environment in which the sensor
operates.
• Check all signals under both flow and no-flow conditions. This
procedure will minimize the possibility of overlooking some causes or
symptoms.

Connecting a HART device to the RFT9739 primary variable milliamp output loop could cause transmitter
output error.
If the primary variable (PV) analog output is being used for flow control, connecting a HART device to the output
loop could cause the transmitter 4-20 mA output to change, which would affect flow control devices.
Set control devices for manual operation before connecting a HART device to the RFT9739 primary variable

Troubleshooting

Fault detection indicates an interruption in the functional integrity of the
sensor and the transmitter, including the sensor pickoff coils, drive coil,
and RTD. Faults, such as a short or an open circuit, are detected by the
HART device.
The transmitter runs continuous self-diagnostics. If these diagnostics
reveal a f ailure, the HART de vice displays an error message. Self-testing
allows the transmitter to check its own circuitry.
The transmitter works with a Micro Motion flow sensor to provide flow
information. Therefore, many of the troubleshooting checks pertain only
to the sensor. However, a HART Communicator, the ProLink program,
and AMS software enable the user to perform other tests:
• Performing an
mA output test
forces the transmitter to produce a user-
specified current output of 0 to 22 mA.
• Performing a
frequency/pulse output test
forces the transmitter to
produce a user-specified frequency output between 0.1 and
15,000 Hz.
• Performing an
mA output trim
allows adjustment of the primary and
secondary mA outputs against a highly accurate external standard
such as a digital multimeter (DMM) or receiving device.
Perform mA trim and/or test procedures, if necessary, as described in
the HART Communicator or ProLink software instruction manuals, or in
AMS on-line help.
• If the transmitter is in security mode 8, mA output test, mA output trim,
and frequency/pulse output test procedures cannot be performed. For
more information, see "Security mode 8", page 7.
• If the transmitter is in fault condition, an mA output test cannot be
performed.
• If the transmitter is not properly connected to a sensor, or if the sensor
is in fault condition, an mA output test cannot be performed.

Overrange and sensor
error messages
Slug flow
If a sens or f a ilure occur s, if t he sen sor c ab le is f aul ty, or if meas ured flo w,
measured temperature, or measured density go outside the sensor
limits, the display produces one of the following messages:
• "Sensor Error"
• "Drive Overrng"
• "Input Overrange"
• "Temp Overrange"
• "Dens Overrng"
To interpret overrange and sensor error messages, use the transmitter
fault output levels, a digital multimeter (DMM) or other reference device,
and refer to
• Turn off power to the transmitter before unplugging terminal blocks.
• Unplug terminal blocks from the transmitter back panel to check
circuits.
Programmed slug flow limits enable transmitter outputs and the display
to indicate conditions such as slug flow (gas slugs in a liquid flow
stream). Such conditions adversely affect sensor performance by
causing erratic vibration of the flow tubes, which in turn causes the
transmitter to produce inaccurate flow signals.
If the user programs slug limits, a slug flow condition causes the
following to occur:
1. The message display reads "SLUG FLOW".
2. The frequency/pulse output goes to 0 Hz.
3. The mA outputs indicating the flow rate go to the level that represents
zero fl ow.
Table 7-3
, page 75, for corrective actions.
Output saturated
messages
The flowmeter resumes normal operation when liquid fills the flow tubes
and density stabilizes within the programmed slug flow limits.
The user can also program a slug duration, from 0 to 60 seconds, into
the configuration of an RFT9739. If process density goes outside a slug
flow limit, flow outputs hold their last measured value for the period of
time established as the slug duration.

typical corrective actions.
If an output variable exceeds its upper range limit, the display message
reads "Freq Overrange", "mA 1 Saturated" or "mA 2 Saturated". The

units.

7.6Wiring
For transmitter wiring instructions, refer to
Chapter 5
, page 25. Wiring problems are often incorrectly diagnosed as
Chapter 4
, page 17, and
a faulty sensor. At initial startup of the transmitter, always check the
following:
1. Proper cable, and use of shielded pairs
2. Proper wire termination
a. Wires on correct terminals
b. Wires making good connections at transmitter terminals
c. Wires making good connections at the sensor terminals
d. Wires properly connected at any intermediate terminal junction,
such as the user-supplied junction box between a Model DT
sensor and transmitter.
If a fault condition is indicated, follow these instructions:
1. Disconnect the transmitter's power supply.
2. Unplug the terminal blocks from the transmitter back panel.
3. Use a digital multimeter (DMM) to measure resistance between wire
pairs at the transmitter terminals:
-
Drive coil, check terminals CN1-Z2 and CN1-B2 (brown/red)
-
Left pickoff coil, check terminals CN1-Z8 and CN1-B8
(green/white)
-
Right pickoff coil, check terminals CN1-Z10 and CN1-B10
(blue/gray)
-
RTD, check terminals CN1-Z6 and CN1-B4 (viol et/yellow)
4. If the measured resistance is outside the range listed in
Table 7-6
repeat the measurements at the sensor terminals.
5. Reinsert the terminal blocks and restore power to the transmitter.
6. Use the DMM to troubleshoot the flowmeter.
,
Table 7-6. Nominal resistance ranges for flowmeter circuits
Notes
• Temperature sensor value increases 0.38675 ohms per °C increase in temperature
• Nominal resistance values will vary 40% per 100°C. However, confirming an open coil or shortened coil is more important than any slight deviation from the resistance values presented below.
• Resistance across terminals 6 and 8 (right pickoff) should be within 10% of resistance across term inals 5 and 9 (left
pickoff).
• Resistance values depend on the sensor model and date of manufacture.

7.7Master reset
Use the switches on the transmitter control board to perform a master
reset (see
Figure 1-1
, page 2, for the location of the control board). A
master reset causes communication options to default to the setup used
by HART Communicators, causes all other configuration options to
return to their default values, and
requires complete characterization
and reconfiguration of the transmitter.
Table 7-7
, page 80, lists master reset defaults for characterization and
configuration variables.
CAUTION
All configuration data will be lost by performing a
master reset.
Before performing a master reset, phone the Mi cro Mot ion
Customer Service Department:
• In the U.S.A., phone 1-800-522-6277, 24 hours
• Outside the U.S.A., phone 303-530-8400, 24 hours
• In Europe, phone +31 (0) 318 549 443
• In Asia, phone 65-770-8155
To perform a master reset:
1. Note the position of switch 5.
2. Shut off power to the transmitter.
3. Set switches 1, 2, and 3 to the OFF position.
4. Set switches 4, 5, 6, and 10 to the ON position.
5. Restore power . Wait until the "Msg" indicator appears on the
transmitter display.
6. Set switches 4, 6, and 10 to the OFF position.
7. Return switch 5 to its original position.
8. Shut off power to the transmitter. Wait 30 seconds.

Standard volume
Outputs standard volume at 60°F or 15°C for Generalized Petroleum
Products when °API is selected as density unit of measure. Accuracy of
standard volume measurements depends on accuracies of mass flow
rate, density, temperature and temperature-corrected °API calculation,
and can be estimated using the root mean square method. Standard
volume accuracy of ±0.5% of rate is typically attainable for Generalized
Petroleum Products such as fuel oils, jet fuels, and kerosenes.
Pressure compensation
The analog input can accept a signal from a pressure transmitter for
pressure compensation of flow and density. Range, 0-25 mA. Can be
used to power independent pressure or differential pressure transmitter.
Voltage sourcing capability, 15 V. Input impedance, 100 ohms.
Low-flow cutoff
Flow values below the low-flow cutoff cause digital and frequency
outputs to default to zero flow levels. Each mA output may be configured
for an additional low-flow cutoff.
Slug-flow limits
Transmitter senses density outside limits. Flow output remains at last
measured value, for a programmed time of 0 to 60 seconds, before
defaulting to zero flow.
Damping
Wide range of programmed filter time constants for damping on flow,
density, and temperature. Additional damping may be applied to mA
outputs.
Fault indication
Faults can be indicated by user-selected downscale (0-2 mA, 0 Hz) or
upscale (22-24 mA, 15-19 kHz) output lev els. The control output can
also be configured to indicate a fault condition at 0 V.

required for transmitters installed in the European Community after
1 January 1996.
For specific EMC effects within the EC, the Technical EMC file may be
reviewed at Fisher-Rosemount Veenendaal.
All RFT9739 transmitters meet the requirements of SAMA PMC 33.1
(October 1978), Class 1, A, B, C (0.6% span) at nominal flow rate. All
RFT9739 transmitters meet the recommendations of ANSI/IEEE C62.41
(1991) for surge and EFT.
To meet the above specifications, the transmitter must be installed with
an approved Micro Motion sensor, and the sensor cable must be either
doubly shielded with full contact glands, or installed in continuous, fully
bonded metallic conduit. The transmitter and sensor must be directly
connected to a low-impedance (less than 1 ohm) earth ground.
Transmitter outputs must be run in standard twisted-pair, shielded
instrument wire.
