<1. INTRODUCTION>
1.4 General description
This manual describes installation, operation and maintenance of the RAMC. Please read it carefully before using
this device.
Further, please note that customer features are not described in this manual. When modifying specications,
construction or parts, this manual is not necessarily revised unless it can be assumed that these changes will
impair RAMC functions or performance.
All units are thoroughly tested before shipping. Please check the received units visually to ensure that they
have not been damaged during transport. In case of defects or questions please contact your nearest
YOKOGAWA service centre or sales office. Please describe any defect precisely and indicate model code as
well as serial number.
YOKOGAWA refuses any liability for units which have been repaired by the user without prior consent and do
not meet the specications as a consequence.
1.5 Principle of measurement
The RAMC is a Variable Area Flow Meter for volume and mass measurements of gases and liquids.
A oat, whose movement is nearly independent of viscosity is guided concentrically in a specially shaped cone.
The position of the oat is transferred magnetically to the indicator, which shows the measurement values by a
pointer on a scale. The indicator can be equipped with limit switches and an electronic transmitter.
Fig. 1-1
All units are calibrated with water by the manufacturer. By adjusting the calibration values to the measured
substance’s state of aggregation (density, viscosity), the ow rate scale for each measuring tube can be
determined.
Indication units can be exchanged without impairment of precision. However, the scale for the tube must be
mounted on the new indicator (and in case of an electronic transmitter the calibration EEPROM, too).
IM 01R01B02-00E-E 14th edition January 20, 2017 -00
Before transporting the unit, it is recommended to x the oat with a card-board strip in the same way as
when shipped from factory. Prevent foreign objects from entering the tube (e.g. by covering openings).
To protect the unit and especially the tube’s interior from soiling, store it only at clean and dry locations
2.2 Installation
Ambient temperature and humidity of the installation location must not exceed the specied ranges. Avoid
locations in corrosive environments. If such environments are unavoidable, ensure sufficient ventilation.
Although the RAMC features a very solid construction, the instrument should not be exposed to strong
vibration or impact stress.
Please note that the RAMC’s magnetic sensing system can be inuenced by external inhomogeneous
magnetic elds (such as solenoid valves). Alternating magnetic elds (≥ 10 Hz) as well as homogeneous,
static magnetic elds (in the area of the RAMC), like the geomagnetic eld have no inuence. Asymmetric
ferromagnetic bodies of considerable mass (e.g. steel girders) should be kept at a distance of at least 250 mm
from the RAMC.
To avoid interference, the distance between two adjacent RAMC must be at least 300 mm.
2-1
2.3 Pipe connections
Ensure that the bolts of the anges are tightened properly and that the gaskets are tight.
Do not expose the unit to pressures higher than the indicated maximum operating pressure (refer to
specications).
While the system is pressurized the ange bolts must not be tightened or loosened.
Be sure to remove the transport lock card-board strip from the measuring tube. Check that no cardboard
remains in the tube.
The RAMC ow rate meter must be installed in a vertical pipeline, in which the medium ows upwards.
vertical position has to be checked at the outer edge of the anges. Bigger nominal diameters (DN80/DN100)
require straight pipe sections of at least 5D in front and behind the RAMC.
The nominal diameter of the RAMC should correspond to the nominal diameter of the pipeline.
To avoid stress in the connecting pipes, the connecting anges must be aligned in parallel and axial direction.
Bolts and gaskets have to be selected according to the maximum operating pressure, the temperature range
and corrosion conditions. Center gaskets and tighten nuts with a torque appropriate for the pressure range.
If contamination or soiling of the RAMC is to be expected, a bypass should be installed to allow the removal of
the instrument without interruption of the ow.
Please read also chapter 2.2. For further instructions on installation please refer to VDI/VDE3513.

<3. INSTALLATION>
3.2 Wiring of electronic transmitter (-E, -H, -J) and limit
switches (/K
Please regard the drawings on the following pages.
On the rear of the RAMC are two cable glands for round cables with a diameter of 6 to 9 mm (not for Ex-d-type
option /F1). Unused glands must be closed with a blind plug M16x1.5.
For wiring of RAMC with option/F1 see chapter 10.10.2, 10.11.2, 10.14.2.
Wires should not be bent directly at terminal screws. Do not expose wires to mechanical pressure. Wires must be
arranged according to common installation rules, especially signal and power lines must not be bundled together.
Cables should not be bend directly after the cable gland. Do not x cable at the measuring tube.
The RAMC terminals accept wires with a maximum sectional area of 1.5 mm2.
The attached ferrite core must be mounted on the cable as shown on the below picture. Distance "L" < 2 cm.
)
L
Measuring and indicating instruments, connected in series to the output of the electronic transmitter, must not
exceed a load impedance of R
2- or 3-wire units are connected to the terminals marked “+”, “-” and “A” of the power connector.
For 2-wire instruments the terminals “-” and “A” have to be shorted with a jumper. Take care not to loose that
jumper when mounting wires.
Wiring inside the case should be kept as short as possible to avoid that moving parts are blocked.
Attention: Hints for Unit Safety (according DIN EN 61010-1)
- Do not connect cables outdoors in wet weather in order to prevent damage from condensation and to protect
the insulation, e.g. inside the terminal box of the owmeter.
- Heed the nominal voltage indicated on the scale.
- Use the cables which fulll specication and check before wiring.
- The electrical connections have to be executed according to VDE0100 “Errichten von Starkstromanlagen
mit Nennspannungen bis 1000 V” (Installation of high current assemblies with nominal voltages of up to 1000 V)
or equivalent national regulations.
- For units with a nominal voltage of 115 V or 230 V the correspondingly marked terminal has to be
connected to protective earth (PE).
- Units with a nominal voltage of 24 V may only be connected to a protected low voltage circuit (SELV-E
according to VDE0100/VDE 0106 or IEC 364/IEC 536).
- The RAMC indicator housing must be grounded to ensure electromagnetic interference protection.
This can be done by grounding the pipeline.
- Once all wiring is complete, check the connections before applying power to the instrument. Improper
arrangements or wiring may cause a unit malfunction or damage.
- This unit does not include a power switch. Therefore, a switch has to be prepared at the installation
location in the vicinity of the unit. The switch should be marked as the power separation switch for the
RAMC.

The measured uid should neither consist of a multi-phase mixture nor contain ferrite ingredients or large solid
mass particles.
The RAMCscale is adjusted to the state of operation/aggregation of the measured uid by the manufacturer. If
the state of operation changes, it might become necessary to establish a new scale. This depends on several
factors:
- If the RAMC is operated in the given viscosity independent range, only the density of the oat as well as the
operational density of the previous and new substance have to be considered. In case the operational
density only changes marginally (≤ 0.5 %), the present scale can be used.
- If the RAMC is operated outside the given viscosity independent range, the viscosities at the previous and new
state of operation as well as the mass and diameter of the oat have to be taken into account.
4.2 Pulsation and pressure shock
Pressure shock waves and pulsating ow inuence measurement signicantly or can destroy the meter. Surge
conditions should be avoided. (open valves slowly, raise operating pressure slowly)
If oat bouncing occurs in gases increase the line pressure until the phenomena stops. If this is not possible
provide the oat with a damper. A damping kit is available as spare part.
4.3 Start of operation of electronic transmitter
Ensure that the device has been connected correctly according to section 3-2 and that the used power supply
meets the requirements indicated on the scale.
Switch on the power supply.
The digital display gives the totalizer value in the measuring unit, indicated on the right side of the display.
The RAMC is now ready for operation.
Unit graduation, measuring unit, damping, etc. can be adjusted by an operating menu (refer to section 6.2). In
case of an error, the bars beneath the 8 digits of the display will ash. The corresponding error message can
be checked using the operating menu and then taking the appropriate counter measures (refer to section
6-2-8 “Error Messages”).
The transmitter has been prepared and calibrated according to the model code as a 2-, 3- or 4-wire unit.
In 2-wire units, a jumper connects “A” and “-”. When switching from a 2- to a 3-wire conguration, this jumper
should be removed. The current output should then be adjusted as explained in section 6-2-6.
When changing from a 3- to 2-wire conguration, the jumper should be set in place, and the current output
has to be adjusted according to section 6-2-6.
The optional limit switches are available as maximum or minimum type switches. They are proximity switches
according to EN 60947-5-6 (NAMUR). Maximum two switches can be installed. The option (/W) includes the
respective transmitter relay.
These switches have been specied for hazardous area. However, the transmitter relay must be installed
in safe area.
The limit switches are connected to the transmitter relays as indicated in chapter 3.2.
The terminals for the limit switches are on a small board on top of the transmitter case.
Use of 2 standard limit switches (option /K3):
The MIN-MIN and MAX-MAX functions have been integrated at the factory as MIN-MAX switches in the RAMC.
The MIN-MIN or MAX-MAX function is set by adjusting the switching direction of the transmitter relay. The
concerning 2- channel transmitter relays are:
Option /W1B: KFA5-SR2-Ex2.W
Option /W2B: KFA6-SR2-Ex2.W
Option /W4B: KFD2-SR2-Ex2.W
The following table shows the assignment:
FunctionSwitching direction of transmitter relay *
Channel 1Channel 2Channel 1Channel 2
MINMAXS1 position IS2 position I
MINMINS1 position IS2 position II (ON)
MAXMAXS1 position II (ON)S2 position I
* see following gure for S1 and S2 on transmitter relay.
Use of Fail Safe limit switches (option /K6.../K10):
For Fail Safe application only 1- channel transmitter relays are available.
Option /W2E: KHA6-SH-Ex1.W
Option /W2F: 2 x KHA6-SH-Ex1.W
Option /W4E: KFD2-SH-Ex1.W
Option /W4F: 2 x KFD2-SH-Ex1.W
If other transmitter relays are used as the above mentioned types, the transmitter relay has to be applied
as protection technology to ensure functional safety.
The position of the oat is magnetically transferred to a magnetic follow up system. The position angle of this
magnetic rocker is detected by magnet sensors. A micro controller determines the angle by means of a
combining reference value table in the memory and calculates the ow rate by the angle with calibration and
operation parameters the calibration EEPROM. The ow rate is given as a current, either 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA,
and, in addition, indicated on the digital display (refer also to section 6-2). The electronic transmitters have been
electronically adjusted before shipping and, therefore, are mutually exchangeable.
Calibration data of the metering tube as well as customer specic data are entered into a calibration EEPROM,
inserted on the board. This calibration EEPROM and the indication scale are assigned to the respective
metering tube.
When replacing an indicator (e.g. because of a defect) the scale and calibration EEPROM of the old unit have
to be inserted in the new unit. Then, no calibrations or adjustments are necessary.
If an indicator with electronic transmitters is installed to a new metering tube, the calibration EEPROM of that
tube has to be inserted into the transmitter and the indicator scale for that particular tube has to be mounted.
A change in the uid data (e.g. specic gravity, pressure, etc.) requires the preparation and mounting of
a new calibration EEPROM and scale.
Normally the range of the current output is equal to the rounded measuring range of the tube (end value on
scale). The customer can position the 20 mA point between 60% and 100% of the end value on scale. The set
of the 20 mA point is shown on the scale (refer to Fig. 1-4). The ow cut off is positioned at 5 % of the end value.
Below 5 % ow the current output shows 0 mA (4 mA).
6.2 Parameter setting
The displays allows indication of various parameters:
• Flow rate (8 mass or volume units in combination with 4 time units)
• Counter (8 mass or volume units)
• Flow rate indication in percent
• Special functions
• Setting of different damping times
• Switching of current output 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA or vice versa
• Indication of error messages
• Manual adjustment
• Service functions
• Detection of oat blockage
The setting of these parameters is done by two buttons.

The buttons access three functions:
- upper button ( ↑ ) : Exit setting mode
- lower button ( → ) : Scroll through menu/selection of parameters
- both buttons ( ↑ + → ) = Enter : Entering parameters/selecting setting mode
If no button is pressed for one minute while the operating menu is active, the indication reverts to the
measuring indication. This does not apply to subfunctions F32, F33, F52, F63.
For indication of volume or mass values at maximum 6 digits in front of the decimal point and 7 decimals are
used. This format allows an indication range for ow rates from 0.0000001 unit/time to 106000 unit/time. Flow
rate values exceeding 106000 are shown as ‘————’ on the display. In this case the next bigger ow rate unit
(next smaller time unit) has to be selected.
For the indication of totalizers values 8 digits are used at maximum of which 7 digits can be assigned for
decimal values. The decimal point setting is determined by selecting the unit. Therefore, possible totalizer
offsets are:
Unit *1
Unit *1/10
Unit *1/100
The totalizer counts up to 99999999 or 9999999.9 or 999999.99 and is reset to zero.

necessary ne adjustment can be carried out with F32 or F33.
2 wire connection:
At this only the range of 4-20 mA is meaningful. The range of 0-20 mA is not closed however. At the change
to 0-20 mA with F31 the equipment assumes a remodelling on 3 wire connection and the current output is
adjusted according to this. A perhaps necessary ne adjustment can be carried out with F32 or F33.
Since YOKOGAWA doesn’t have any inuence on the custom-designed connection the current output is not
automatically adapted, if the connection is changed from 2 wire to 3 wire or vice versa .This must be manually
carried out with the functions F32 and F33.

6.2.7.1 General
The volume totalizer function in the electronic transmitter is available with a potential free
pulse contact.
The connection is supported only at 4-wire-units on the power supply at pins 6, 7.
The pulse output is activated and selected by function F34 in the menu structure.
Two different pulse rates can be selected. The lower pulse rate (higher solution) corresponds to the last (least
signicant) digit of the totalizer. The higher pulse rate (lower solution) corresponds to the last but one digit of
the totalizer.
6.2.7.2 Connection
6.2.7.3 Adjustments
The function F34 is added to the menu structure.
With the selection of F34 -1 the pulse output is switched off. With the selection of the functions F34 -2 or F34 -3
the pulse output is activated with the concerning solution.
· F34 -1 not active
· F34 -2 last totalizer digit
· F34 -3 last but one totalizer digit
Special case: If Qmax is higher than 10000, the pulse rate is decreased by factor 10 in both cases. That means:
· F34 -2 last but one totalizer digit
· F34 -3 third totalizer digit from the right
IM 01R01B02-00E-E 14th edition January 20, 2017 -00
Concerning the nal ow-value (Qmax ), which was declared in the customers order, the pulse rate is
calculated in factory and is written onto the sheet ´Data of Pulse Output (Option /CP)´, which is included. This
value can be transferred to a blank label of the also included sheet with unit-stickers and then xed on the
scale. After changing the ow rate unit with F12 the pulse rate must be recalculated.
Calculation of pulse rate:
· Read the value of Qmax from the scale or recalculate it.
· Search for the concerning range in the rst row of the table below.
· Read the concerning pulse rates in the second and third row.

6.2.8 Error messages (F4-)
If the 8 bars beneath the digits start ashing, an error has occurred in the measuring transmitter/current
output. Since the pointer indication is independent from the electric measuring transmitter, it may show the
correct measuring value even if the transmitter is defective. Function F41 allows checking of assigned error
codes.
Error codes are called onto the display as follows:
During manufacturers adjustment and calibration process the relation between ow rate with water (or with air)
and oat position (indicated as angle on the mm-scale) is determined. Based on the properties of the customers
uid at expected operating conditions the ow scale and the corresponding EEPROM is then
calculated.
If the uid properties are changing (by change of the uid or by change of the process conditions) the scale as
well as the EEPROM has to be adapted. Easiest and recommended way to do this is to order new scale and
EEPROM for the new properties from manufacturer and to replace both.
A second possibility is to readjust the meter by the user. This readjustment procedure will only adjust the current
output and the display indication (but only in % of the new ow range), At least the readjustment by the user is
possible by two different procedures:
1 Manual “dry” readjustment based on recalculated original scale:
The following steps have to be performed:
1.a ) Calculate the new of ow rate to mm (on scale) relation based on original manufacturers calibration
certicate.
1.b ) Place the RAMC (with the measuring tube) horizontally on a table (Note: the distance to any ferro magnetic parts must be at least higher than 25 cm!).
1.c ) Go to menu function F51 and press ENTER to switch to manual adjustment mode. (Switching back
to the original adjustment is possible by pressing ENTER again).
1.d ) Go to menu function F52 in order to start the manual adjustment.
1.e ) Move the oat to a position where the pointer is indicating on mm-scale the mm-value belonging to
5 % of the new ow rate (Note: these values have to be calculated in step a rst!)
1.f ) Press ENTER to adjust the rst 5 % point.
1.g ) Repeat steps 1.e) to 1.f) for the 15 %; 25 %; 35 %; 45 %; 55 %; 65 %; 75 %; 85 %; 95 % and 105 %
points. (Note: The whole loop from 5 % to 105 % has to be adjusted in the requested order without
interruption. It is not possible to skip or stop and restart the adjustment.)
1.h ) The adjustment has to be nished and stored by pressing “ ↑ “.
After storage the new adjustment is permanently available and can be switched “on” or “off” by function F51.
When manually adjustment is active, the user is responsible for the measurement accuracy.
2 Manual “wet” adjustment by comparison to a reference master meter with the real process uid at
operating conditions:
This adjustment is useful under the following conditions:
• The original manufacturer’s calibration is not available or needs to be renewed.
Or
• The user is not able to recalculate the new mm to ow rate table.
And
• The user has the possibility to compare the meter indication with a master meter with the
process uid at process conditions.
In these cases the following steps have to be performed:
2.a ) Place the RAMC in line with the master meter in an installation allowing controlled ow with the
process uid at process conditions in a ow range from 5 % to 105 % of the expected ow range.
2.b ) Go to menu function F51 and press ENTER to switch to manual adjustment mode. (Switching back
to the original adjustment is possible by pressing ENTER again).
2.c ) Go to menu function F52 in order to start the manual adjustment.
2.d ) Set the ow to 5 % of the new ow rate indicated by the master.
2.e ) Press ENTER to adjust the rst 5 % point.
2.f ) Repeat steps 2.d) to 2.e) for the 15 %; 25 %; 35 %; 45 %; 55 %; 65 %; 75 %; 85 %; 95 % and 105 %
points. (Note: The whole loop from 5 % to 105 % has to be adjusted in the requested order without
interruption. It is not possible to skip or stop and restart the adjustment.)
2.g ) The adjustment has to be nished and stored by pressing “ ↑ “.
After storage the new adjustment is permanently available and can be switched “on” or “off” by function
F51.
IM 01R01B02-00E-E 14th edition January 20, 2017 -00
For the manual adjustment procedure according to the two cases described the following remarks have to be
taken into account:
• After manual adjustment the ow-scale of the indicator is no longer valid.
• The display will only indicate in % of the new ow range.
• Switching of units is impossible.
• The indicator can be always resetted to the original adjustment according to manufacturers
calibration at any time.
• The given procedures will only adjust the current output and the display to the new measuring
range for a different uid and/or new process conditions.
• The result of this adjustment is NOT a calibration! If proof of the new adjustment is requested a
real calibration by comparison to a standard has to be made after adjustment!
• The following interactions with other functions apply:

Due to the limitations described it is strongly recommended to order a new scale and EEPROM from
manufacturer (this gives a real new ow scale without new calibration) or to order a new calibration by
the manufacturer together with a new scale and EEPROM for the new uid and/or new process conditions
(this gives new adjustment plus new calibration).

6.2.14 Float blocking indication (F7-)
6.2.14.1 Function
Float
Pulsating movements of the ow medium (gasses, liquids) lead to uctuations of the oat and with that to
uctuations of the tap system/pointer. Therefore the electrical measuring signal permanently changes and with
that the display value and the output current value.
The uctuations can be reduced with the help of the damping function “F21”. That shows however that the
medium still ows and the oat/the tap system is not blocked. This means that in most applications there is a
permanently changing measuring signal which can be used for the recognition of the movement or the
blockade of the oat.
Basic noise
Since it is an electronic evaluation circuit, permanently minimal uctuations of the measuring signal appear. The
basic noise is caused by vibrations in the plant as well as by temperature inuences or external magnetic
elds. The basic noise also appears, if
- no medium ows through the measuring pipe
- the oat and with that the tap system are in the rest position
- the oat/the tap system is blocked.
Float-Blocking-Indication
The function of the Float-Blocking-Indication allows the electronic transmitter to distinguish the uctuations, which
are caused by a moving oat, with the uctuations of the basic noise to state a fault status. If the measuring
signal does not exceed the autozero value during a dened supervision time, this is recognized as blockade
and an error condition is shown.
6.2.14.2 Operation
Switching on
At delivery of the equipment the Float-Blocking-Indication is turned off. By the function “F71 2” the FloatBlocking-Indication can be activated.
Autozero function
The autozero function is called to nd out the level of basic noise in the application. This is started with the
function “F74 1” and lasts for 90 seconds. While the autozero function is running the value “0.000” is displayed
and the 4 bars will ash below the numbers. After approx. 80 seconds the current autozero value appears on
the display. This value gets stored and will not be lost after power off / on the RAMC or after switching off / on
the Float-Move-Detection-function. The stored value is typed over rst after a renewed autozero.
Autozero without ow
To execute the autozero function the following expiry is recommended:
- Plant in operation (measuring tube lled with medium)
- Drive ow to zero (place oat into rest position)
- Raise the pointer to 10 % to 20 % of the ow and x it on the scale with adhesive tapes or underlayed paper
stripe .
- Start Autozero function by menu.
- Check Autozero value after approx. 80 seconds.
During the Autozero function it absolutely has to be respected that:
- the RAMC is not moved by touching or using the 2 buttons.
- the pointer is protected against slipping.
- the tube is not exposed to strong tremors
If these prerequisites are not adhered, it comes to the inquiry of too high autozero results.
This leads that a relatively quiet ow can trigger the Float-Blocking-Indication.
IM 01R01B02-00E-E 14th edition January 20, 2017 -00
The Autozero function can be carried out also under ow, if the ow cannot be switched off. To this the
following expiry is recommended:
- Plant in operation (measuring tube lled with medium)
- Move ow to constant value (preferably between 10 % and 40 %)
- Fix pointer on the oriented scale factor with adhesive tapes or underlayed paper stripe
- Start Autozero function by menu.
- Check Autozero value after approx. 80 seconds.
It has to be respected on this absolutely, for this the ow is constant during the Autozero duration!
Normally at this variant higher Autozero results must be expected !
Autozero range
The factory default autozero value is zero (0.000).
At the inquiry of the autozero value it has to be respected that the pointer / tap system are not in the rest
position. In this case the autozero value is zero and the Float-Move-Detection does not work.
Normally the autozero value is smaller than 0.200. If higher results should appear in the application, a multiple
inquiry of the autozero value is recommended to conrm the value.
Supervision range (measuring range)
The measuring range in which Float-Move-Detection is active lies between 5 % and 105 % of the maximum ow
Qmax (Factory Setting). With the help of the function “F72” this range can be reduced if a supervision is not
possible or not desired in the lower ow range. The range can be restricted to 15 % or 30 % to 105 % (see
point 3.1 to 3.3).
Supervision time (Time Out)
The supervision time of the measuring signal is 5 minutes (Factory Setting). If the measuring signal should not
exceed the autozero value during this period, this is recognized as blockade and an error condition is shown.
The supervision time can be increased with the function “F73” up to 15 minutes.
Indication of a blocking condition
After the recognition of the blockade the error code “08” is produced and the bars under the displayed
measurement value are ashing (see fault behavior). Simultaneously the current output is set to a value, which
enables a clear fault detection of a connected evaluation unit:
- 2 - wire 4-20 mA: Error condition: IA (IG) < 3.6 mA

<6. ELECTRONIC TRANSMITTER (-E)>
6.2.14.3 Unsuitable applications
It is possible, that the Float-Blocking-Indication - Function does not work satisfactory. This can be caused with
different factors which are explained briey here. In these cases the function of the Float-Blocking-Indication is
not suitable for the respective application and it should be turned off.
Applications with gases
At applications with gases and oat-damping it can happen, that the pulsating movements of the medium
(and with that of the oat) are damped so strongly in the measuring tube, that the measuring signal lies under
the autozero value and a Float-Blocking-Indication is not possible.
Applications with high viscous media
If a high viscous medium should be used in the plant, the damping can get so high by the high viscosity of
the ow that the measuring signal lies below the autozero value, and a Float-Blocking-Indication is not
possible.
Applications with quiet ow
If the plant has an extremely quiet ow (gases or liquids) ,the supervision range can be limited in the lower
ow range. Normally greater ow (> 30 %) causes greater medium ow deviations. The duration of the
supervision can be put to 15 minutes to reach a longer supervision time.

Description of temperature maximum logging function:
The temperature value is supervised constantly. As soon as the value exceeds the actual maximum value, the
time measurement starts. The minutes are added up, the period can be requested by the user any time. The
actual maximum value is overwritten by a higher value automatically, if it lasts more than 30 seconds; the time
measurement starts once more. The determined values (max temperature/period) can be cleared by the user.
They are written into the parameter Old durat/value after Clear values or after power off/on, the actual time
value is deleted, the max temperature value is set on the actual temperature value. By switching Temp max
log off the values are not cleared.
When exceeding the maximum temperature of 70 °C the error message “Temp over limit” appears.

Description of Flow URV logging function :
The ow value is supervised constantly. As soon as the value reaches the upper limit value (103 %; 20.5 mA)
(event 1), the time is measured, during the ow value is over the limit value. If this error condition remains actively
longer than the hysteresis value, the limiting value recognition is activated and the condition stored. As soon as
the ow value falls below the limit value, the supervision (event 2) ends, for a new cycle the hysteresis time must
pass.
After the recognition you can request the passed time:
Time from event1 till query time: delta-T1
Time from event2 till query time: delta-T2
The time difference is the time the upper limit was exceeded.
hysteresis <= t <= (delta-t1 - delta-t2)
The stored values remain unchanged after power off and must be cleared by the user. The actual cycle is overwritten automatically by a new one. Therefore only the last cycle is always stored.
The default value for hysteresis is 30 seconds.

Description of temperature maximum logging function:
<7. HART-COMMUNICATION>
The temperature value is supervised constantly. As soon as the value exceeds the actual maximum value, the point
of time will be recognized. The actual maximum value is overwritten by a higher value automatically, if it lasts more
than 30 seconds.
The determined values (max temperature/time stamp) can be cleared by the user. They are written into the parameter “Old time/value” after “Clear values” or after power off/on, “Master Reset” or “Device Reset”. The time/value is

7.6.9 Trend conguration (Only available in HART 7)
Data Trending is intended to reduce the number of transmissions to get data from a device. This can be useful for
monitoring applications that do not need to get all data with low latency.
The RAMC supports the transmission of 1 trend information of a desired device variable.
When the Trend control is set from “Disabled”, to one of the following three settings the transmitter continuously
calculates the trend data to be transmitted to the host.
Trend ControlFunction
Disabled No trend information will be calculated
Enable single data point trendingOnly the value that was read during the occurrence of
the sampling will be kept in the ring buffer.
Enable ltered trendingA ltered trend uses a time constant equal to one-third
of the trend sample period to smooth the data.
Consider a step change in the device variable value,
this averaging time constant allows the returned trend
value to reach 95 % of the step change in one trend
sample period.
Enable average trendingThe device averages the values that were taken during
the trend sample period.
The values to be transmitted are the following:
Trend Device VariableParameter
FlowFlow in measurement unit
PercentPercent value of ow
TemperatureTemperature in transmitter
The sampling interval is selectable in the range of 1 s up to 2 h. The internal measurement cycle is 250 ms.
The RAMC supports one ring buffer with 12 samples in length. The ring buffer is updated with samples of the
desired device variable value at the rate indicate by the sample period.
The trend data can be displayed in the following menu by applying the parameter “Refresh Trend Data” to the device.
All 12 trend data values will be displayed.
When a Trend is not used it transmits NAN for the values and as status “bad / constant”.

- After deecting the pointer by hand, it must return to measurement value. If the pointer pivots to different
values upon repeated deections, there is too much friction in the bearings. In this case, send indication unit
to service.
Checking free movement of oat:
- First, free movement of pointer has to be ascertained.
- Check visually if pointer follows each ow rate change. If not, clean oat and measuring tube.
Unit with electronic transmitter:
- The display must show values corresponding to indication function and measuring unit settings.
- The bars under the 8 digits must not ash. If an error occurs, the corresponding countermeasure (refer to
chapter 6.2.8 error messages) has to be taken or the unit has to be sent to service.
- Without ow, the output current must be 0 or 4 mA. At a ow rate of 100 % the current must be 20 mA.
Additional function test for HART units (-H, -J)
- check HART communication using a HART Handheld terminal or a PC with HART communication
software.
- Setting: Device setup / Process variables
- PV AO shows the current value that should be delivered at output – Check this value using a multimeter.
8.1.2 Measuring tube, oat
The RAMCis maintenance-free. If contamination of the measuring tube impairs the mobility of the oat, the tube
and the oat have to be cleaned. To do this, the RAMC has to be removed from the pipe.
Replacement or cleaning of the oat:
- Remove RAMC from the pipe.
- Remove upper retainer from metering tube.
- Take oat stopper and oat out through the top of metering tube.
- Clean oat and metering cone.
- Insert oat and oat stopper into the metering tube.
- Set retainer into tube.
- Check oat for free movement.
- Install RAMC to the pipe.
Attention: Do not expose oat to strong alternating magnetic elds. The oat and especially its measuringedge must not be damaged.
