Cautions &
Notes
The following admonitions are used throughout this manual to alert users to potential
hazards or important information. Failure to heed the warnings and cautions in this
manual can lead to injury or equipment damage.
Warning: The triangular icon displayed with a warning advises the user about
the type of hazard covered by the warning. See the table below for the types of
warning symbols used in this manual.
Table 1. Types of Warnings
Symbol Warning Type Description
General
Notifies users of procedures, practices, conditions, etc.,
which may result in injury or death if not carefully
observed or followed.
Electrical Safety
Notifies users of procedures, practices, conditions, etc.,
which involve electrical circuitry and may result in injury
or death if not carefully observed or followed.
Ionizing Radiation
Notifies users of procedures, practices, conditions, etc.,
where ionizing radiation may be present and may result

Consideration
Warning ThermoFisher Scientific strongly recommends changing

NOTE: Please read the notes below before upgrading from CPU firmware
≤3.500 to CPU firmware version 3.600 and above.
With the release ofCPU firmware Versions ≥3.600 we are adding
functionality permitting users to perform standardization (STD) and
calibrations (CAL) in user selected units. To make useofthis functionality
requires that the CPU firmware [9-0700-003],Remote Backplane (RBP)
firmware
[9-0700-6] and EZ CAL II software [9-0700-007] all be at version 3.600 or
newer. Failure to upgrade the CPU Remote Backplane and EZ CAL II
software to version 3.600 or newer will limit you to performing STD and
CAL funtions in g/cc.
2. Density Measurement Standardization and
Calibration in User Selected Primary Measurement Type
The following table provides an overview ofwhich CPU firmware in
combination with listed user interfaces support performing
standardization andcalibration in user selected density primary
measurement type.
Caution: Using this equipment in a manner not specified by
Thermo Scientific may impair the product, leading to
equipment malfunction.

DensityPRO Firmware Upgrade Process
Note: When upgrading from CPU firmware versions of 3.500 or older to versions
3.600 or newer,there is the potential for a mismatch of the measurement units
to occur. In order to prevent this from happening,the following procedure must
be followed.

Thermo Scientific
DensityPRO User Manual
A-xx
–Pipe inside diameter
–Mea #1 reading for 20.00 mA output
–Mea #1 reading for 4.000 mA output
–Position of decimal in readout 1
–Cal density point 1
–Standardization and/or Calibration
Standardization There are four methods of standardization: on water, on process, deferred, and other.
Standardization on water is the most common standardization method. In this case,
Cal density point 1 would be .9982 (density of water at 20°C).
Standardization can be done on process by taking process samples during the
standardization cycle. The average of these samples is then entered into the Cal density
point 1. In many cases, no other calibration is needed for the gauge to operate
satisfactorily.
Standardization may be deferred if the process is running and cannot be stopped to
standardize on water or empty pipe. When standardization is deferred, the
standardization is skipped and a calibration is done in the same manner
standardization on process is done. At any time later, the standardization can be done
on water or an empty pipe.
Other methods of standardization are on an empty pipe and on fluid other than the
process. When either of these other methods is used, a first point calibration must be
done on process. The standardization in this case is not associated with any process
density. It is only a repeatable radiation condition. The first point calibration is
associated with the standardization through the first point calibration density and a
CAL/STD ratio where the ratio is equal to the signal at the calibration density divided
by the standardization signal.
