Display Modes

The VN2000 Transmitter has a 32-character display that is organized as two rows of 16 characters each.

The display software is designed to operate in one of three modes.

OTE:N The options available in the Programming mode will vary, depending on the media (steam, gas or liquid) for which

the transmitter was configured:

• Startup

• Operational

• Programming (Three Levels)

Startup Mode

The Startup mode begins when the system is first powered on or when the system transitions from the programming mode. The initial screen displays for about 10 seconds. The top line of the display shows the company name. The bottom line shows the product name and the hardware revision number. The display cannot be changed during this mode.

Operational Mode

The Operational mode is the main mode of the transmitter. The top line of the display shows the Flow Rate. The bottom line of the display shows the Totalizer value.

The bottom line of the display can also have alternate uses in this mode. For example, if the transmitter detects an event, it displays an alarm message alternating with the Totalizer value. See “Alarm Messages” on page 22 for a list of possible alarms and how to clear them.

In the Operational mode, the transmitter displays the Temperature and Pressure values alternating with the Totalizer value. The Temperature and Pressure values are available only if they have been configured to be read and they are not being overridden with manual values. This portion of the display shows either Temperature, Pressure or both. The table below shows what displays.

Units of Measure (Time Base)

Press Up Arrow to scroll through the Time Base options. Stop pressing when the proper time is displayed. The options are SEC (seconds), MIN (minutes), HR (hour) and DAY.

K-Factor (Inline Meters Only)

The K-Factor is used for VN2000 inline vortex flow meters. The transmitter automatically generates the K-Factor based on the flow meter model type and bore size.

OTE:N DO NOT change the K-factor that has come with your device without first consulting the factory.

To change the K-Factor, press Left Arrow to move the cursor under the digit to be changed. Press Up Arrow to change the digit. If the K-Factor does not match the “VN2000 SF” found on the bottom right of your sizing sheet, contact the manufacturer.

Low Flow Cutoff

The Low Flow Cutoff is factory-set to the minimum flow rate of the meter. Below this number, the meter gives 4 mA output and displays zero flow reading.

The meter reading drops to zero when the flow drops below the minimum setting. To measure flow below the minimum range of measurement, lower the setting. Press Up Arrow to increment each digit. Press Left Arrow to move the cursor to the next digit.

Max Flow (20 mA)

Use Max Flow to span and adjust the 4 mA and 20 mA range based on your flow range. The number must represent the 20 mA setting on the receiving PLC or other analog input device. Once this number matches what 20 mA represents on the receiving device, the 4…20 mA span will be correct and the meter’s output from Max Flow to zero reading will match what is showing on the display. For example, if Max Flow is set to 500, then 250 will output 12 mA (12 mA is in the middle of 4…20 and 250 is the middle of 500).

Pulse Rate

The Pulse Rate option adjusts the number of pulses for a flow unit and the number of units that are represented by a pulse.

Press Up Arrow to scroll through the pulse rate options:

• 1 Pulse = 1 unit

• 10 Pulses = 1 unit

• 100 Pulses = 1 unit

• 1000 Pulses = 1 unit

• 1 Pulse = 10 units

• 1 Pulse = 100 units

• 1 Pulse = 1000 units

• Off = Turns off pulser

Pulse Width

The pulse width is predefined with 5 widths and directions of pulse.

• 10, 20, 50, 100 or 150 ms negative

• 10, 20, 50, 100 or 150 ms positive

Flow Adjust (Adjust Flow?)

The Flow Adjust option allows for field calibration of each vortex flow meter without changing core application data, such as the K-factor.

Use Flow Adjust only as a last resort if there can be no change to the location of the installation or overall flow profile due to:

• Inadequate upstream and downstream piping

• Large piping

• Obstructions

• Overall flow turbulence The Flow Adjust option only operates—and should only be used—for in-field calibration while the meter is reading

steady flow.

Press Up Arrow to scroll through the in-field calibration options:

Vortex Threshold

The Vortex Threshold feature:

• Is designed to the get the most out of low flow conditions.

• Is meant to be used in high density fluids like liquids where signals are large.

• Is set at the factory and should not be changed unless consulting the factory first.

• Has settings range from 0…7, with 0 being the most sensitive and 7 being the least sensitive. The typical Vortex Threshold setting for liquid, gases and steam is 3. If the setting is not at 3, consult the factory.

When to use the Vortex Threshold settings:

• The flow meter has been installed and the operating condition is very close or below the meter’s minimum.

• There is zero flow rate at normal operating conditions, or the flow rate is bouncing to zero, or the flow rate is much lower than expected. In this case, increase the sensitivity of the dual sensors by lowering the Vortex Threshold settings.

◊ To increase the sensitivity of the dual sensors, lower the threshold to 2, 1, or 0.

◊ Zero (0) is the most sensitive settings.

◊ Do not raise the threshold setting above 3, unless the factory recommends it.

Change Password

The Password Security feature lets you create a password to stop any unauthorized user from tampering with settings or parameters within the VN2000 Transmitter electronics.

Every VN2000 Transmitter does not come with a password. The security password can be created in this program mode. Any user will be required to enter this password before entering into the Program Mode. If the correct password is not entered, NO flow meter settings or parameters can be changed.

How to set your password:

1. Press Menu until the Enter Password Setting option appears. The default Password is 000000.

2. Press Left Arrow to position the cursor under each number.

3. Press Up Arrow to select each digit.

4. Confirm the password by repeating steps 2 and 3.

5. Let the program mode sit for 10 seconds until Flow Rate and Flow Total displays.

If any user wants to change flow meter settings, they have to first enter the correct password.

OTE:N If an incorrect password is entered, the VN2000 Transmitter immediately reverts back to the Flow Rate and

Flow Total display.

• Meter Type

• K-Factor Source (Insertion meters only)

• K-Factor (Insertion meters only)

• Schedule (Insertion meters only)

• Gas Constant (if Fluid is set to Gas)

• Temperature Calibration

• Application

• Settings

• Vibration Control

4 mA Field Calibrate

The 4 mA Field Calibrate option is a trim function that is factory-calibrated but can be field-adjusted if the equipment is not seeing exactly 4 mA at zero flow due to ground loops or other equipment issues not relating to the flow meter.

20 mA Field Calibrate

MPORTANTI

Do not change this setting.

The 20 mA Field Calibrate option is used at the factory to calibrate the maximum output of the flow meter. The typical setting range is 3960…4000.

Units Base

The Units Base option is used at the factory to set up all internal units to English or Metric.

Dampening

The Dampening option allows adjustment of the Flow Rate Averaging or Dampening. The most common use for this feature is to eliminate high flow variation or to lessen the flow rate change on the display that is due to the flow dynamics in the pipe. This option allows for stabilization of the flow reading when erratic flow is present in the pipe.

Press Up Arrow to scroll through the Dampening options:

• The Auto Setting is used for steam and gases:

◊ Auto Setting uses mathematical calculations to determine the correct dampening setting.

◊ When the flow rate is steady (not changing more than 15% from one reading to the next), the dampening is set to the

highest setting to provide stable and reliable flow readings.

◊ When the flow rate is fluctuating (changing more than 15% from one reading to the next), dampening is decreased to

provide a quick response time to flow rate changes.

• The 1-5 Setting sets faster response times.

• The 6-9 Setting sets slower response times for steadier instantaneous flow readings.

Operating the VN2000 Transmitter

MPORTANTI

All liquid applications should be set to a dampening of 8. All steam and gas applications should be set to a dampening of Auto.

OTE:N All totalized flow rate is counted, regardless of the dampening setting. The totalizer NEVER misses any reading based

on the dampening selected.

Meter Type

The Meter Type option adjusts the electronics to work with all meter types in the VN2000 Flow Meter Series (large or small, inversion or insertion).

Verify that the Meter Type is Large Insertion.

MPORTANTI

DO NOT change this setting. Contact the factory if you suspect this setting has been changed.

K-Factor Source (Insertion Meter Only)

Use the K-Factor Source option to indicate the type of pipe used for flow calculations.

Line Size Use for ASME pipe along with Schedule option. Select the pipe size in Programming Mode Level 1

DN Use for DN pipe. Select the pipe size in Programming Mode Level 1

Pipe ID

K-Factor Entry

Use for non-standard pipes or when the pipe inner diameter (ID) can be measured directly. Enter the pipe size in Programming Mode Level 1

Use K-Factor only and not pipe dimensions in calculations. When K-Factor Entry is selected, the pipe size option does not appear in Programming Mode Level 1

Table 8: K-factor source options

K-Factor (Insertion Meter Only)

The K-Factor is used for VN2000 insertion vortex flow meters. The transmitter automatically generates the K-Factor based on the flow meter model type and bore size.

OTE:N DO NOT change the K-Factor that came with your device without first consulting the factory.

Schedule (Insertion Meter Only)

When the K-Factor Source is Line Size, use the Schedule option to select the pipe schedule.

Gas Constant (Gas Only)

Use the Gas Constant option only when the gas has characteristics that require calculations other then the standard formula for calculating the effects of temperature and pressure on the gas flow rate.

Temperature Calibration

The Temp Calibration option calibrates the internal RTD located in the flow meter body. This is used only for flow meters that have the Mass Flow Transmitter. The calibration is done at the factory and these settings should NOT be changed unless for reasons below:

Press Up Arrow to scroll through the options:

• Temp Offset is factory-set and should NOT be changed

• Temp Gain is factory-set and should NOT be changed except to calibrate the operating pressure and temperature in the

steam flow meter.

◊ If the operating internal pressure and temperature of the flow meter must be in-field calibrated, do the following:

• To calibrate to a higher setting, increase the Temp Gain by 10 units at a time until the desired operating pressure and temperature display on the transmitter

• To calibrate to a lower setting, decrease the Temp Gain by 10 units at a time until the desired operating pressure and temperature display on the transmitter.

Operating the VN2000 Transmitter

Application

The Application option sets up the flow meter for the desired fluid type and application. The Application is factory-set. The setting is based on the application fluid type and should NOT be changed. If the incorrect fluid type is selected, please contact the factory immediately.

Modbus Address

Enter the Modbus RTU address. See the “VN2000 Flow Meters Modbus User Manual.”

Settings

Initially, the meter shows field settings that have been factory-set for your particular application parameters.

This option lets you reset all program settings to factory settings, if required. DO NOT change to factory settings unless advised to do so by the manufacturer.

Vibration Control

The Vibration Control settings block out unwanted vibration or other frequencies that may affect the flow meter accuracy or repeatability.

High

The highest vibration control setting helps with no-flow condition and active flow condition. Use in locations where vibration is present

Medium Good vibration control helps with no-flow condition and active flow. Use this setting for steam and gases

Low Basic vibration control during no-flow condition and active flow. Use this setting for liquids

Off No vibration control activated

Alarm Messages

ALARM MESSAGES

The following alarm messages may appear during operation:

Message Meaning Solution

BAD START MEMORY The flash memory for the system did not load and

a default configuration was assumed.

BAD TEMPERATURE Temperature was out of range. Check the process for very low or very

BELOW LOW FLOW This message indicates that the meter is operating

properly but the flow conditions may be out of range for your desired operation.

CHECK MAN. PRESS. The manual pressure entry is out of range for the

application.

CHECK MAN. TEMP. The manual temperature entry is out of range for

the application.

CHECK TEMP. This message will display for saturated steam

meters when the temperature in the pipe is below 212° F (100° C). When the temperature inside the pipe reaches 212° F (100° C) and greater, this message disappears and flow rate shows compensated flow rate and total accumulated flow.

OVER MAX FLOW This message displays when the actual flow rate

has exceeded the max flow (20 mA) setting in the VN2000 Transmitter representing the 20 mA output. The flow meter continues to display an unlimited maximum flow rate. However, the output stays at 20 mA.

HIGH PULSE RATE The pulse rate is too fast for the hardware. Check PULSE RATE entry and flow rate displayed.

LOW PULSE RATE The pulse rate is too slow for the hardware. Check PULSE RATE entry and flow rate displayed.

NO PRESSURE If the Pressure Sensor is enabled, then the system

was unable to read the sensor.

NO TEMPERATURE If the Temperature Sensor is enabled, then the

system was unable to read the sensor.

Check arrow and alignment hole on the top of the probe. They must be pointing down the pipe in the direction of flow.

Take a measurement from the top of the stainless steel probe to the top hole in the center of the pipe. The overall length of the meter from the shedder bar to the hole is XX. The length of XX minus the length measured is the distance the meter is in the pipe. Make sure the meter is in the center of the pipe and not sitting inside the valve assembly or close to the inside wall of the pipe.

before the flow meter can shed vortices of their own causing a disruption in flow reading.

Check to see if there are any valve, tees or elbows upstream of flow meter. If these items are too close to the flow meter then they can cause disruption in flow reading.

Check to see what size hole is drilled into the pipe for insertion. If an existing hole larger than 1.5 inch was used, the larger hole can create turbulence directly above the flow sensor.
