PROline FieldCheck™1 Safety instructions
Endress+Hauser 5
1 Safety instructions
1.1 Designated use
The FieldCheck flow simulation system may only be used for the simulation of sensor
signals with a flowmeter of the Endress+Hauser PROline equipment generation. The
device is normally installed by service technicians who are familiar with the function and
operating method of the equipment. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages
resulting from incorrect use.
#Warning!
FieldCheck may not be used in hazardous areas without corresponding safety measu-
res.
1.2 Operational safety
Note the following points:
•The measuring device complies with the general safety requirements in accordance
with EN 61010 and the EMC requirements of EN 61326/A1.
•The manufacturer reserves the right to modify technical data without prior notice.
Please contact your E+H distributor for information on modifications or updates of
these Operating Instructions.
1.3 Instructions for operating FieldCheck™ in a
heavily disturbed (EMC) environment
Radiated RF Noise (EN 61326-1)
To operate FieldCheck with a PROline flowmeter in the simulation and verification mode,
the electronics and connection compartments must first be opened. In this mode, the
radiated RF noise will not exceed the industrial limits (EN 61326-1).
In a heavily disturbed (EMC) environment, you must expect that the operation of both
FieldCheck and the flowmeter may be temporarily affected. We recommend that - when
using FieldCheck - you take care to ensure effective ESD protection for the affected
measuring point and the operator.
If necessary, the measuring equipment can be reset:
•Via the local controls
•By interrupting the voltage supply
•By restarting FieldCheck.

1.4 Notes on safety conventions and icons
The devices are designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements, have been tes-
ted, and left the factory in a condition in which they are safe to operate. The devices
comply with the applicable standards and regulations in accordance with EN 61010
“Protection Measures for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, Regulation
and Laboratory Procedures”. They can, however, be a source of danger if used incor-
rectly or for other than the designated use.
Consequently, always pay particular attention to the safety instructions indicated in
these Operating Instructions by the following icons:
#Warning!
“Warning”indicates an action or procedure which, if not performed correctly, can result
in injury or a safety hazard. Comply strictly with the instructions and proceed with care.
"Caution!
“Caution”indicates an action or procedure which, if not performed correctly, can result
in incorrect operation or destruction of the device. Comply strictly with the instructions.
!Note!
“Note”indicates an action or procedure which, if not performed correctly, can have an
indirect effect on operation or trigger an unexpected response on the part of the device.

2.3 CE mark, declaration of conformity
The devices are designed to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements, have been
tested, and left the factory in a condition in which they are safe to operate. The devices
comply with the applicable standards and regulations in accordance with EN 61010
“Protection Measures for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, Regulation

#Warning!
When connecting Ex-certified devices, see the notes and diagrams in the Ex-specific-
supplement to these Operating Instructions of the relevant measuring device. Field-
Check may not be used in an atmosphere where there is a danger of explosion. Please
do not hesitate to contact your E+H representative if you have any questions.
3.1 Overview
FieldCheck is connected to the following transmitter connections.
•Via the Simubox to the transmitter amplifier
•To the transmitter service plug
•To the current or frequency output.
For correct synchronisation with the measuring device we recommend that you abide
by the following procedure.
1. First, connect the cable to the flowmeter which is to be tested (s. page 10 and
page 11).
2. Next, connect the cable to the front of FieldCheck (s. page 12). Make sure that the
connection to the internal service interface is made last.
!Note!
FieldCheck does not need an external power supply during operation. Power is provi-
ded by internal storage batteries. Make sure that the storage batteries are fully charged
before beginning a simulation.

PROline FieldCheck™4 Operation
Endress+Hauser 17
4.4.1 General notes
The function matrix comprises a multiplicity of functions which, for the sake of clarity, are
arranged on a number of menu levels (blocks, groups, and function groups).
Comply with the following instructions when configuring functions:
•You select functions as described on page 16. Each cell in the function matrix is iden-
tified by a numerical or letter code on the display.
•You can switch off certain functions (OFF). If you do so, related functions in other func-
tion groups will no longer be displayed.
"Caution!
All functions are described in detail, as is the function matrix itself, in Chap. 9, page 26.

4.5 Communication
Operation via a personal computer using the “FieldTool™” operating software.
4.5.1 FieldTool™operating program
FieldTool™is an universal service and configuration software package designed for the
PROline measuring devices. The connection is made with a commercial serial cable
(9-pole DSUB, 0-Modem) to the underside of FieldCheck.
FieldTool™offers the user the following fields of application:
•Configuring the equipment functions.
•Archiving the verification data.
•Printout of a verification certificate with all measuring results and I/O parameters.
!Note!
You can find more information on FieldTool™in the following E+H document:
•System information: SI 031D/06/en “FieldTool™”

PROline FieldCheck™5 Commissioning
Endress+Hauser 19
5 Commissioning
5.1 Function check
Make sure that FieldCheck is correctly connected to the measuring device that is to be
simulated (→ page 9). The measuring device must be working free of errors in order for
a simulation or verification to be started.
5.2 Commissioning
FieldCheck is powered via an adapter or via the storage battery included in the delivery.
Before the simulation, make sure that the storage batteries are fully charged. To ensure
correct commissioning you are advised to abide by the processes as they are
described on page 9 ff.
5.2.1 Starting up FieldCheck
!Note!
To synchronise FieldCheck with the connected Promag measuring device a flow of
–5 and +5 m/s is simulated for a few seconds. This results in corresponding behaviour
of the current output. If this is not desired, the outputs must be separated from the pro-
cess for the starting up period.

5 Commissioning PROline FieldCheck™
20 Endress+Hauser
FieldCheck switches itself on automatically, as soon as one of the connecting cables is
inserted. Once switched on FieldCheck performs a number of self-tests. During this
procedure the following sequence of messages appears on the local display:
You know that FieldCheck is ready for operation when the HOME position appears on
the display. If batteries are being used, the charge status of the battery pack also
appears (s. page 15).
5.2.2 Charging the battery
The battery is charged automatically as soon as the power unit or the car-adapter cable
is connected to FieldCheck. The charging time is less than 3 hours if there is no simu-
lation in progress. When the battery is fully charged it is switched to conservation charg-
ing. The charging time is considerably longer during a simulation.
The charge status is displayed in the HOME position via the charge status icon after
start up (s. page 15).
