This guide provides basic guidelines to assist you in quickly getting started.
Installation of the transmitter in an explosive environment must be undertaken in accordance with the
appropriate local, national, and international standards, codes, and practices. Review the approvals
section of the Tek-Cor 1100A reference manual for any restrictions associated with a safe installation.

Before powering up the flowmeter in a dangerous area, please confirm that the flowmeter’s explosion-proof class is consistent with the environmental requirements in order to avoid potential danger.
Make sure that the power is shut off to avoid electric shock when installing the transmitter. Follow the
installation and operation instruction manualto ensure safe operation.
9. Grounding
Both the sensor and the transmitter have to be grounded correctly; failure to do so may cause a measurement
error and the sensor may not work. If the pipeline is connected with the ground, the transmitter can be grounded through the pipeline; if the pipeline is not connected with the ground, the transmitter should be grounded
independently.

For the horizontal installation, the measuring tube should be installed on the downside of the pipeline when the
process medium is liquid or slurry (shown in Picture 1); on the upside of the pipeline when the process medium
is gas (shown in Picture 2). For vertical installation, the measuring tube should be installed alongside the pipeline when the process medium is liquid, slurry, or gas (shown in Picture 3).
A
The meters must not be mounted at the highest
point of the tubing (A), if gas bubbles are expected.
If solid particles expected, then it should not be
installed at the lowest point (B).
B
C
The meters must not be mounted in a drop line near
the open end (C), as this may cause the meter to run
empty.

11. Flow Direction
There is a flow arrow which indicates the flow direction in front of the sensor; install the Tek-Cor 1100A accordingly; failure to do may result in the transmitter not displaying the mass flow correctly. If the process medium is
liquid or slurry, the flow direction is down-up; if the process medium is gas, the flow direction can be either
down-up or up-down.
Note: It is recommended that sensor of Tek-Cor 1100A is supported using a rubber connector as the buffer.
12. Calibration
The Tek-Cor 1100A does not need field calibration; it has been calibrated before delivery. Each set of Tek-Cor
1100A has its own instrumental coefficient, including one flow coefficient and four density coefficients (high
density D1, high period K1, low density D2, and low period K2), which will be shown in the nameplate of the
Sensor or Calibration certificate.

Zero Calibration
Zero Calibration provides the reference point for the flowmeter. It is necessary to conduct the zero calibration
whenever the Coriolis Meter is installed.
For Zero Calibration, follow the following procedure after installation:
• Warm-up the flowmeter for 30 minutes.
• Once the warm-up is complete, continue the flow through the flowmeter until the temperature of the
flowmeter is same as the working temperature of the fluid.
• When the flowmeter has reached the required temperature, close the downstream valve, and make the
fluid pass through the flowmeter under normal temperature, density and, pressure. Then close the
upstream valve to ensure the sensor is full of liquid during the process of Zero Calibration.
• Carry out the Zero Calibration of the flowmeter.
Finally, press
Input password to start zero calibration.
The default password is 000000
Note: Each Zero Calibration lasts 30 seconds and must be repeated at least 10 times.

13. Error Indication
The user can detect a fault in the flowmeter using the LED indicator and LCD displays. Different colors of the
LED lights indicates the working condition of the flowmeter, while the LCD displays can show the self-diagnostic alarm information of the transmitter, which is useful for detecting the malfunctions.
