1. SMART COMMUNICATION UNIT
1.1 General
Described in this manual are the operating instructions to use the Smart Communication Unit Model
EL2310 which operates in the Microsoft operating system Windows environment.
The EL2310 is a communication terminal designed for use in combination with a personal computer
(hereinafter referred to as PC) and any one of the OVAL Coriolis series flowmeters to set up, alter,
adjust, or read out parameters and variables, through interactive communications, locally at the point of
measurement or from a terminal in a remote location. Using a Windows PC at hand, you can monitor
multiple windows on its screen.
※1.TheEL2310operatesontheapplicationsoftware"LinkTop"furnished.
※2.ThisinstructionmanualappliestothetransmitterST9801(MT9603)for the STmass MKⅡ,
transmitter CT9401 (MT9411) for the ULTRAmas MKⅡ(including the Mass Flex), transmitter EV9201
for the VRmass,"D"sensorandextra-highpressureservicetransmitterMT9431
The application software automatically distinguishes between the transmitter connected and
changes the window accordingly from the STmass MKⅡto the VRmass, and vice versa.
Since they basically have windows in common, the windows covered in this manual are of the
ULTRAmass MKⅡ.

①Clickon"Setup(S)"atthetop-levelmenuofthescreen,select"Congddevvar"drop-downmenu,
and click again.
②AmessageboxliketheoneshowninFig.25appears.Transmitterparameters(owrate,density,and
temperature related parameters) are set up at this window.
③At the Flow menu, you can set up mass flowrate unit, volume flowrate unit, flow direction, flow
damping, and flow cutoff.
IntheST9801andEV9201,thereisno"Volumeflowunit"menuitem.
Flow direction is either "Forward" of "Reverse." In the "Forward", the flow direction indicated by the
arrow on the flowmeter body is taken as "Forward", whereas in the "Reverse", the flow direction
oppositetothearrowistakenas"Forward".
"Flow cutoff" reads in percent with respect to the max. permissible flowrate and functions both in
forwardandreverseflow.Defaultsettingis"0.3%".
④At the Density menu, you can set up density unit, density damping, slug flow identification, and density
correction.
In slug flow identification, any flow in which the obtained density measurement exceeds preselected
"Sluglowlimit"or"Slughighlimit"isinterpretedasagas-mixedfloworslugflow,andtheobtained
flowmeterresultsandtheiroutputsareforciblyreducedto"0."Whensettingsaresuchthat"Sluglow
limit"=0and"Slughighlimit"=10,theslugflowidentifyingfunctionisinactivated.However,within
theperiodpresetat"Slugduration", the transmitter ignores the status of a slug flow and continues
usual measurement.
In density correction, density and volume flow readings are reduced to the values corrected at the
referencetemperatureif"Compensation"is"ON"(conversioncalculatedonthebasisof"Standard
temp"and"ExpansionCoef").
IntheEV9201,thereisno"Density"menuitem.

your entering setpoints.
Thelowcutofffunctionis"OFF"whenyour"Lowcut"optionis"0.0%".Defaultis"0.0%". When items
other than flowrate (mass and volume) are assigned, do not fail to set to "0.0%". If "Bi direction" is
