Special Cautionary Note
Regarding Input Power Wiring
for Compact Explosion Proof Flowmeters
The compact area of the power wiring compartment located under the Rear Housing Cover does not
permit labeling for connecting the flowmeter to its AC or DC power source. The labeled numbers 1,2 and
3 of connector P8 prompt the user to consult the 1010X-7 installation diagram in Appendix B for wiring
details. To avoid damage to the flowmeter, especially in cases where it is difficult or impossible to consult
the 1010X-7 diagram, the correct power supply wiring procedure and corresponding part numbers are
listed below.
1. In addition to confirming the part number of the flowmeter, it is recommended that the actual power
supply module part number be checked for conformation to the power available in the field. Beforeapplying power to the unit, you may visually confirm the part number of the power supply by removing the front housing cover.

DIGITAL P-GEN APPLICATIONS PROCEDURE
Adjusting the PGEN Output
The default setting for the Digital PGEN output provides a 5000 Hz frequency at an assumed maximum
velocity of 100 ft/sec. In certain cases it may be necessary to change this default PGEN value. For
example:
z If the PGEN signal cable is very long, then the added cable capacitance may prevent reliable RTU
pulse detection at or near 5000 Hz. In this case it may be necessary to decrease the PGEN (Pulses
/ Unit Volume) setting using the equation below.
UnitVolumePulses=/
MaxFreq
MaxFlow
Where: MaxFreq = Maximum desired frequency (Hz)
MaxFlow = Maximum flow rate (Unit Volume / second)
z For very low operating flow rates, the pulse frequency may approach the 20 Hz limit of the PGEN
output. In this case it may be necessary to increase the PGEN (Pulses / Unit Volume) setting.
UnitVolumePulses=/
Where: MinFreq = Minimum desired frequency (Hz). Must be greater than 20 Hz!
Note: If STD VOL is selected then the “unit volume” for PGEN will represent Standard Volume,
not actual volume.
Forcing the PGEN Output Frequency
To test the operation of the flowmeter with an RTU, or other pulse counting device, it may be necessary
to force the PGEN output frequency, especially when the pipeline is not flowing during flowmeter
commissioning. This can be accomplished by setting the AnCal diagnostic value to a flow rate
corresponding to the desired frequency output. (Refer to the appropriate paragraph in your manual for
operation of the AnCal function.)
The example below demostrates how to calculate the AnCal flow rate based on the desired pulse output
frequency and the entered PGEN (Pulses / Unit volume) setting:
For PGEN setting = 53 Pulses /CU FT and a desired frequency = 1000 Hz
1. Temporarily change flow rate units to CU FT / SEC (Use same volume units as Totalizer.)
2. Set AnCal = 1000 / 53 = 18.868 CU FT / SEC
3. 1000 Hz frequency should now be observed on the PGEN output.
Digital Damping Procedure Update for Gas & Liquid Flowmeters
INTRODUCTION
The following Digital Damping procedure updates are for SITRANS F gas and liquid clamp-on
flowmeters.Replace the Digital Damping Control: (Hot Key 1 and 2) procedure in the “Detection Modes”
section (sub-paragraph: Command Modes) in the appropriate gas and liquid STIRANS F flowmeter
manuals.
FUG1010 Gas Clamp-on Flowmeter Manuals
Digital Damping Control: (Hot Key 1 and 2)
The FUG1010 permits user modification of the digital averaging used by the signal processing routines.
In general, the default damping values selected by the FUG1010 will provide optimal performance over
a wide range of transit time applications. However, in extreme cases of unstable flow , pulsating flow,
low signal levels or high electronic noise it may be necessary to override these default settings to
permit uninterrupted and reliable flow measurement.
Test Facilities Graph Screen
The FUG1010 Graph Screen includes the capability to access a set of command codes, which enable
a user to override a number of default meter settings. The most important parameter is the digitaldamping control, which can be accessed by pressing number <1> or <2> on the keypad while in the
Signal Graph Screen mode.
[MinDamp] Command
Pressing the <1> key will cause [MinDamp #] to appear on the command line at the lower left-hand
corner of the screen. The number listed to the right of the command code represents the exponent in
the FUG1010 exponential averaging routine, where the larger the number the greater the digital averaging.
Pressing the <+> key will increase the damping value. Likewise, pressing the <-> key will decrease
the damping value. To exit this mode, press the <0> key on the keypad.
[MaxDamp] Command
Pressing the <2> key will bring up the [MaxDamp] command. The function of this parameter is similar
to the [MinDamp] command described above; however, the two parameters interact in the following
manner . The MinDamp value must not exceed the MaxDamp value, therefore increasing the MinDamp
value above the previous MaxDamp value will set both parameters to the same value. In most cases,
it is preferred that both damping parameters be set to the same value, however , in cases where rapid
response to changes in gas sound velocity for flow rate is required, the two values may be set differently .
In this situation the meter will use the MaxDamp value when conditions are stable, but then switch to
a faster damping value (limited by MinDamp) when a significant change in sound velocity or flow rate
is perceived. To exit this mode, press the <0> key on the keypad.

To access the Digital Damping Control using the Test Facilities Graph Screen, proceed as follows:
1. To use the Test Facilities Graph Screen you must have a working site.
2. To activate the Test Facilities Graph Screen:
zIn the main menu, scroll to the [Diagnostic Data] menu and select [Test Facilities].
zScroll down to [Graph], press the <Right Arrow> and highlight [Yes]. Press <ENT> to select.
zThe Test Facilities Graphic Screen will appear on the meter display as shown below.
Setting the Digital Damping Factor to a value HIGHER than the default value of 4 may be necessary
in cases where the signal to noise ratio (SN) is found to be unacceptably low (<15:1), but only if the
noise is determined to be asynchronous (i.e., not associated with the transmit or flowmeter timing
circuitry) as shown in the signal example above, where the baseline noise has a higher frequency
than the true gas signal.
The following application conditions may require a higher Digital Damping Factor:
zClose proximity to pressure control valves which may generate in-band acoustic noise
zVery low acoustic signal levels (ALC < 40%)
zHigh electronic noise from variable frequency drives or other external equipment.

To INCREASE the Digital Damping:
1. Press the <1> key while viewing the Test Facilities Graph Screen as shown above. The damping
control [MinDamp #] should appear on the command line at the lower left-hand corner of the
screen.
Note: The number listed to the right of the command code on the screen represents the
exponent in the exponential averaging routine, where the larger the number represents
the greater the digital averaging. Setting this exponent higher than 7 is generally not
recommended.
2, Pressing the <+> key will increase the MinDamp Factor by one unit for each key press. To exit this
mode, press the <0> key on the keypad.
The above example shows that increasing the Digital Damping reduces asynchronous noise.
Setting the Digital Damping factor to a value LOWER than the default value of 4 may be justified in
cases where pulsating flow is present (such as from a reciprocating compressor) or for the purpose
of diagnosing transient signal behavior. A pulsating flow condition that generates more than +/- 45
degrees of phase jitter will generally cause signal correlation problems when any digital averaging is
used. In this case it may be necessary to completely eliminate the digital averaging by reducing the
Digital Damping Factor to 0. In such a case it may also be necessary to install a narrow band tuned
amplifier (Input Module) if too much asynchronous noise exists.
To DECREASE the Digital Damping:
1. Press the <2> key while viewing the T est Facilities Graph Screen. The damping control [MaxDamp
#] should appear on the command line at the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
2. Pressing the <-> key will decrease the MaxDamp Factor by one unit for each key press. T o exit this
mode, press the <0> key on the keypad.

SETUP PROCEDURE FOR “WET-FLOW CALIBRATED” 1010 SYSTEM
Caution: DO NOT use the field manual installation procedure to startup a wet-flow
calibrated system. Doing so could void the calibration by corrupting essential data. This addendum contains the only authorized instructions to
be used when commissioning a wet-flow calibrated 1010 system.
1. INTRODUCTION
When the system 1010 is wet-flow calibrated, the flow computer stores the installation parameters in its storage memory. Each flow calibration is assigned a unique site name. Usually, the
site name corresponds to the pipe size. For example, a 3-inch carbon steel, schedule 40 pipe
would be given the name “3CS40.”
The flow calibration report issued with each wet-flow calibration, includes a flow calibration
“Diagnostic Data Sheet.” This data sheet lists the site name and other necessary information
(such as transducer serial number and spacing information), for setting-up the flowmeter. A
wet-flow calibration applies to a specific flowmeter and set of transducers; identified by serial
numbers on the diagnostic data sheet.
1010FMA-4
NOTE: In order for the flow calibration to be valid, the flow computer and transducers
being used must have the same serial numbers as those listed for the site on
the Calibration Diagnostic Data Sheet.
2. SETUP PROCEDURE
2.1 Transducer Installation
2.1.1Refer to the diagnostic data sheet to find the mounting mode (Direct or Reflect) used
during the wet-flow calibration. Review the transducer installation guidelines in your 1010
field manual.
2.1.2Refer to the diagnostic data sheet for the transducer spacing index utilized during the
flow calibration. Using the mounting configuration employed during the flow calibration,
install the transducers on the pipe at the above noted spacing positions in accordance
with the instructions provided on the transducer installation drawings.
2.1.3Attach the transducer cables noting that the cable marked “UP” attaches to the transducer closest to the source of flow.
NOTE: Before proceeding further, ensure that the pipe is full of liquid. It is not impor-
tant at this point that it be flowing.

2.2Flowmeter Setup
NOTE: The following instructions require the use of the keypad and the menu. The
installer should become familiar with their use before proceeding further.
2.2.1Switch the flowmeter on. Press the <MENU> key.
2.2.2On multi-channel flowmeters, use the arrow keys to select [Dual Channel Flow] or
[Dual Beam Flow] depending on the mode utilized for the wet-flow calibration.
2.2.3Use the arrow keys to select either [Clamp-on], [Flow Tube] or [Clamp-on Spool].
2.2.4Select [Full Site Setup] and use the <Right Arrow> to select [Channel Setup]; then
select [Recall Site Setup].
2.2.5Use the <Down Arrow> to scroll to the site name indicated on the Calibration Diagnostic Data Sheet. Then press <ENT>.
2.2.6The meter will perform a momentary “Makeup” routine that will take a few seconds and
then begin operation.
1010FMA-4
2.2.7Refer to your 1010 field manual for instructions on setting zero flow.
NOTE: Setting zero flow must be performed each time the transducers are installed.
The zero adjustment has no effect on the wet-flow calibration data or the calibration (Kc) factor.
2.2.8Using the arrow keys, scroll to the Data Span/Set/Cal menu location. V erify that the [Kc]
(calibration) factor matches the value indicated on the diagnostic data sheet.
2.2.9If you are measuring a liquid other than ambient water, select the [Liquid Class] menu
cell and <Down Arrow> from there to [Viscosity]. Enter the correct viscosity for the
liquid you will be monitoring.
2.2.10 Setup is now complete. Press the <MENU> key twice to view the flow rate display . DO
NOT utilize the [Save Site] command when it appears.
2.2.1 1 When measurements are completed, simply turn off the meter . DO NOT save the site.
This might contaminate the wet-flow calibration data already stored.
NOTE: Contact Siemens’ Technical Services Department if any flow calibration data is
accidentally removed or overwritten.

3.TRANSFER INSTALL FUNCTION
All 1010 flowmeter operating systems (version 3.00.20 and greater) include the installation facility called “Transfer Install.” This function permits the transducers to be repositioned while maintaining all calibration parameters and operation established during the water calibration. The
Transfer Install function allows the transducers to be optimally positioned for a different fluid,
without the need for a new Initial Makeup procedure.
NOTE: Prior to performing Transfer Install make sure that the water calibration proce-
dure was performed and a saved active site exists.
3.1Transfer Install Procedure
To initiate the Transfer Install function, proceed as follows:
3.1.1In the Application Menu press the <Right Arrow> to select the [Liquid Class] menu cell.
Scroll and highlight [Estimated Vs m/s] from the option list.
3.1.2Use the numeric keys to change the Estimated Vs to the Estimated Vs value of the
customer selected liquid.
3.1.3To enter new Estimated Vs value press <ENT>.
1010FMA-4
3.1.4Proceed to the Pick/Install Xdcr menu and select the same transducer, mounting mode
and spacing offset that was selected for the water calibration.
3.1.5Re-space the transducers to the index position indicated by the flowmeter.
3.1.6Scroll to the [Install Completed?] menu cell and select [Transfer Install] from the option
list.
NOTE: If [Transfer Install] does not appear in the option list then either the Estimated
Vs or the transducer size was improperly entered. In this case, recall the water
calibration site and start the procedure again at Step 3.1.1 above.
3.1.7For MultiPath systems repeat Step 3.1.6 above for the remaining paths.
3.1.8The flowmeter should now be operational at the new spacing location.
NOTE: Depending on the size of the pipeline, the change in the estimated sonic veloc-
ity (Vs) and the repositioning of transducers, the flowmeter may not operate out
of Fault even if the spool or pipe is filled with liquid. This can be expected when
performing a Transfer Inst all for liquified gases or for clamp-on natural gas flowmeters.
3.2Saving New Transfer Install Site
3.2.1To save the Transfer Installed site, scroll to the Channel Setup menu and press the
<Right Arrow>. Press the <Right Arrow> again to select the [Save/Rename] menu cell.
3.2.2Use the numeric keys to rename the Transfer Installed site with the same site name
used in Step 3.1.2 above, but with a “T” appended to the end of the site name (e.g.,
3CS40T).
3.2.3Press <ENT> to store data.
