4Micro Motion Model 1700 Transmitters with Analog Outputs

2 Quick start
Topics covered in this chapter:
•Power up the transmitter
•Check meter status
•Make a startup connection to the transmitter
•(Optional) Adjust digital communications settings
•Verify mass flow measurement
•Verify the zero
2.1 Power up the transmitter
The transmitter must be powered up for all configuration and commissioning tasks, or for
process measurement.
1. Ensure that all transmitter and sensor covers and seals are closed.
DANGER!
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, ensure that all covers
and seals are tightly closed. For hazardous area installations, applying power while
housing covers are removed or loose can cause an explosion.
2. Turn on the electrical power at the power supply.
The transmitter will automatically perform diagnostic routines. The transmitter is
self-switching and will automatically detect the supply voltage. When using DC
power, a minimum of 1.5 amps of startup current is required. During this period,
Alert 009 is active. The diagnostic routines should complete in approximately
30 seconds. For transmitters with a display, the status LED will turn green and begin
to flash when the startup diagnostics are complete. If the status LED exhibits
different behavior, an alert is active.
Postrequisites
Although the sensor is ready to receive process fluid shortly after power-up, the electronics
can take up to 10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium. Therefore, if this is the initial
startup, or if power has been off long enough to allow components to reach ambient
temperature, allow the electronics to warm up for approximately 10 minutes before
relying on process measurements. During this warm-up period, you may observe minor
measurement instability or inaccuracy.
Quick start
Configuration and Use Manual 5

2.2 Check meter status
Check the meter for any error conditions that require user action or that affect
measurement accuracy.
1. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the power-up sequence to complete.
Immediately after power-up, the transmitter runs through diagnostic routines and
checks for error conditions. During the power-up sequence, Alert A009 is active.
This alert should clear automatically when the power-up sequence is complete.
2. Check the status LED on the transmitter.

solve the alert condition before continuing.

2.3 Make a startup connection to the transmitter
For all configuration tools except the display, you must have an active connection to the
transmitter to configure the transmitter. Follow this procedure to make your first
connection to the transmitter.
Identify the connection type to use, and follow the instructions for that connection type in
the appropriate appendix. Use the default communications parameters shown in the
appendix.
Communications tool Connection type to use Instructions
ProLink III HART/RS-485
Modbus/RS-485
Service port
Appendix B
Field Communicator HART/Bell 202 Appendix C
2.4 (Optional) Adjust digital communications
settings
Change the communications parameters to site-specific values.
Important
If you are changing communications parameters for the connection type that you are using, you will
lose the connection when you write the parameters to the transmitter. Reconnect using the new
parameters.
Procedure
1. To change the communications parameters using ProLink III, choose Device Tools >
Configuration > Communications.
2. To change the communications parameters using the Field Communicator, choose
On-Line Menu > Configure > Manual Setup > Inputs/Outputs > Communications.
2.5 Verify mass flow measurement
Check to see that the mass flow rate reported by the transmitter is accurate. You can use
any available method.
•Read the value for Mass Flow Rate on the transmitter display.
•Connect to the transmitter with ProLink III and read the value for Mass Flow Rate in
the Process Variables panel.
•Connect to the transmitter with the Field Communicator and read the value for Mass
Flow Rate.
Quick start
Configuration and Use Manual 7

On-Line Menu > Overview > Primary Purpose Variables
Postrequisites
If the reported mass flow rate is not accurate:
•Check the characterization parameters.
•Review the troubleshooting suggestions for flow measurement issues.
2.6 Verify the zero
Verifying the zero helps you determine if the stored zero value is appropriate to your
installation, or if a field zero can improve measurement accuracy.
The zero verification procedure analyzes the Live Zero value under conditions of zero flow,
and compares it to the Zero Stability range for the sensor. If the average Live Zero value is
within a reasonable range, the zero value stored in the transmitter is valid. Performing a
field calibration will not improve measurement accuracy.
Important
In most cases, the factory zero is more accurate than the field zero. Do not zero the meter unless one
of the following is true:
•The zero is required by site procedures.
•The stored zero value fails the zero verification procedure.
Procedure
1. Allow the flowmeter to warm up for at least 20 minutes after applying power.
2. Run the process fluid through the sensor until the sensor temperature reaches the
normal process operating temperature.
3. Stop flow through the sensor by shutting the downstream valve, and then the
upstream valve if available.
4. Verify that the sensor is blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that the sensor is
completely full of process fluid.
5. From ProLink III, choose Device Tools > Calibration > Zero Verification and
Calibration > Verify Zero and wait until the procedure completes.
6. Observe the drive gain, temperature, and density readings. If they are stable, check
the Live Zero or Field Verification Zero value. If the average value is close to 0, you
should not need to zero the meter.
7. If the zero verification procedure fails:
a. Confirm that the sensor is completely blocked in, that flow has stopped, and that
the sensor is completely full of process fluid.
b. Verify that the process fluid is not flashing or condensing, and that it does not
contain particles that can settle out.
c. Remove or reduce sources of electromechanical noise if appropriate.

e. If it fails again, zero the meter.
Postrequisites

Zero In general, the offset required to synchronize the left pickoff and the right
pickoff under conditions of zero flow. Unit = microseconds.
Factory Zero The zero value obtained at the factory, under laboratory conditions.
Field Zero The zero value obtained by performing a zero calibration outside the fac-
tory.
Prior Zero The zero value stored in the transmitter at the time a field zero calibration
is begun. May be the factory zero or a previous field zero.
Manual Zero The zero value stored in the transmitter, typically obtained from a zero
calibration procedure. It may also be configured manually. Also called
“mechanical zero” or “stored zero”.
Live Zero The real-time bidirectional mass flow rate with no flow damping or mass
flow cutoff applied. An adaptive damping value is applied only when the
mass flow rate changes dramatically over a very short interval. Unit = con-
figured mass flow measurement unit.
Zero Stability A laboratory-derived value used to calculate the expected accuracy for a
sensor. Under laboratory conditions at zero flow, the average flow rate is
expected to fall within the range defined by the Zero Stability value (0 ±
Zero Stability). Each sensor size and model has a unique Zero Stability val-
ue. Statistically, 95% of all data points should fall within the range defined
by the Zero Stability value.
Zero Calibration The procedure used to determine the zero value.
Zero Time The time period over which the Zero Calibration procedure is performed.
Unit = seconds.
Field Verification Zero A 3-minute running average of the Live Zero value, calculated by the
transmitter. Unit = configured mass flow measurement unit.
Zero Verification A procedure used to evaluate the stored zero and determine whether or
not a field zero can improve measurement accuracy.
