3.1 Before You Begin Chapter 3 Flowmeter Startup Overview This chapter describes the procedures you should perform the first time you start the flowmeter. You do not need to use these procedures every time you cycle power to the flowmeter. The following procedures are discussed: Applying power to the flowmeter (see Section 3.2) • Performing a loop test on the transmitter outputs (see Section 3.3) • Trimming the mA output (see Section 3.4) • Zeroing the flowmeter (see Section 3.
Flowmeter Startup WARNING Upon transmitter startup or abnormal power reset, any external device controlled by a discrete output may be momentarily activated. Upon transmitter startup or abnormal power reset, discrete output states are unknown. As a result, an external device controlled by a discrete output may receive current for a brief period. When using Channel B as a discrete output: • You can prevent current flow upon normal startup by setting Channel B polarity to active low (see Section 4.6).

4.1 Before You Begin Chapter 4 Required Transmitter Configuration Overview This chapter describes the configuration procedures that are usually required when a transmitter is installed for the first time. The procedures in this chapter should be performed in the order shown in Figure 4-1. Required configuration procedures in order Using ProLink II Figure 4-1 Characterize the flowmeter (Section 4.2) Configure the channels (Section 4.3) Configure measurement units (Section 4.
Required Transmitter Configuration 4.2 Characterizing the flowmeter Characterizing the flowmeter adjusts the transmitter to compensate for the unique traits of the sensor it is paired with. The characterization parameters, or calibration parameters, describe the sensor’s sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature. 4.2.1 When to characterize If the transmitter, core processor, and sensor were ordered together, then the flowmeter has already been characterized.
Required Transmitter Configuration Figure 4-2 Sample calibration tags – All sensors except T-Series Older tag Using ProLink II Figure 4-3 Before You Begin Newer tag Sample calibration tags – T-Series sensors Newer tag Older tag Flowmeter Startup Density calibration factors If your sensor tag does not show a D1 or D2 value: • For D1, enter the Dens A or D1 value from the calibration certificate. This value is the line-condition density of the low-density calibration fluid. Micro Motion uses air.
Required Transmitter Configuration Flow calibration values Two separate values are used to describe flow calibration: a 6-character FCF value and a 4-character FT value. Both values contain decimal points. During characterization, these are entered as a single 10-character string that includes two decimal points. In ProLink II, this value is called the Flowcal parameter.
Required Transmitter Configuration 4.3 Configuring the channels CAUTION Before You Begin The six input/output terminals provided on the Model 1500 are organized into three pairs. These pairs are called Channels A, B, and C. The channels should be configured before doing any other I/O configuration. Changing the channel configuration without verifying I/O configuration can produce process error.
Required Transmitter Configuration 4.4 Configuring the measurement units For each process variable, the transmitter must be configured to use the measurement unit appropriate to your application. To configure measurement units, see the menu flowchart in Figure 4-6. For details on measurement units for each process variable, see Sections 4.4.1 through 4.4.5. Figure 4-6 Configuring measurement units ProLink Menu Configuration Flow · Mass flow units · Vol flow units 4.4.
Required Transmitter Configuration Table 4-3 Mass flow measurement units continued Unit description lTon/hr Long tons (2240 pounds) per hour lTon/day Long tons (2240 pounds) per day special Special unit (see Section 6.4) 4.4.2 Before You Begin ProLink II label Volume flow units The default volume flow measurement unit is L/s. See Table 4-4 for a complete list of volume flow measurement units.
Required Transmitter Configuration 4.4.3 Density units The default density measurement unit is g/cm3. See Table 4-3 for a complete list of density measurement units. Table 4-5 Density measurement units ProLink II label Unit description SGU Specific gravity unit (not temperature corrected) g/cm3 Grams per cubic centimeter g/l Grams per liter g/ml Grams per milliliter kg/l Kilograms per liter kg/m3 Kilograms per cubic meter lbs/Usgal Pounds per U.S.
Required Transmitter Configuration Before You Begin CAUTION Changing the channel configuration without verifying I/O configuration can produce process error. When the configuration of a channel is changed, the channel’s behavior will be controlled by the configuration that is stored for the new channel type, which may or may not be appropriate for the process. To avoid causing process error: • • • Configure the channels before configuring the mA output (see Section 4.3).
Required Transmitter Configuration 4.5.1 Configuring the primary variable The primary variable is the process variable to be reported through the mA output. Table 4-7 lists the process variables that can be assigned to the mA outputs. Table 4-7 mA output process variable assignments Process variable ProLink II label Mass flow Mass Flow Rate Volume flow Volume Flow Rate Note: The process variable assigned to the mA output is always the PV (primary variable). 4.5.
Required Transmitter Configuration 4.5.4 Configuring the fault action, fault value, and last measured value timeout Before You Begin Note: If the mA output is configured for valve control, it cannot be used to report alarm status, and the mA output will never go to fault levels. If the transmitter encounters an internal fault condition, it can indicate the fault by sending a preprogrammed output level to the receiving device. You can specify the output level by configuring the fault action.
Required Transmitter Configuration Multiple damping parameters Damping can also be configured for the mass flow and volume flow process variables (see Section 6.6). If one of these process variables has been assigned to the mA output, a non-zero value is configured for its damping, and added damping is also configured for the mA output, the effect of damping the process variable is calculated first, and the added damping calculation is applied to the result of that calculation. See the following example.
Required Transmitter Configuration Table 4-9 Discrete output polarity Before You Begin Polarity Output power supply Description Active high Internal • When asserted, the circuit provides a pull-up to 15 V. • When not asserted, the circuit provides 0 V. External • When asserted, the circuit provides a pull-up to a site-specific voltage, maximum 30 V. • When not asserted, circuit provides 0 V. Internal • When asserted, the circuit provides 0 V.
Required Transmitter Configuration WARNING Upon transmitter startup or abnormal power reset, any external device controlled by a discrete output may be momentarily activated. Upon transmitter startup or abnormal power reset, discrete output states are unknown. As a result, an external device controlled by a discrete output may receive current for a brief period. When using Channel B as a discrete output: • You can prevent current flow upon normal startup by setting Channel B polarity to active low.
Required Transmitter Configuration 4.7 Configuring the discrete input Before You Begin Note: Configure the transmitter channels for the required input/output types before configuring the discrete input. See Section 4.3. CAUTION Changing the channel configuration without verifying I/O configuration can produce process error.
Required Transmitter Configuration View the trend chart for these initial tests. By default, the specification uncertainty limit is set at ±4.0%, which will avoid false Fail/Caution results over the entire range of specified process conditions. If you observe a structural integrity variation greater than 4% due to normal process conditions, you may adjust the specification uncertainty limit to match your process variation.
5.1 Using the Transmitter Chapter 5 Using the Transmitter Overview This chapter describes how to use the transmitter in everyday operation. The following topics and procedures are discussed: Recording process variables (see Section 5.2) • Viewing process variables (see Section 5.3) • Viewing transmitter status and alarms, and the alarm log (see Section 5.4) • Viewing and using the totalizers and inventories (see Section 5.
Using the Transmitter 5.3 Viewing process variables Process variables include measurements such as mass flow rate, volume flow rate, mass total, volume total, temperature, and density. To view process variables with ProLink II software: 1. The Process Variables window opens automatically when you first connect to the transmitter. 2.

6.1 Using the Transmitter Chapter 6 Optional Transmitter Configuration Overview This chapter describes transmitter configuration parameters that may or may not be used, depending on your application requirements. For required transmitter configuration, see Chapter 4. The following configuration parameters and options are described in this chapter: • Cutoffs (see Section 6.5) • Damping (see Section 6.6) • Update rate (see Section 6.7) • Flow direction (see Section 6.8) • Events (see Section 6.
Optional Transmitter Configuration 6.4.1 About special measurement units Special measurement units consist of: • Base unit – A combination of: - Base mass or base volume unit – A measurement unit that the transmitter already recognizes (e.g., kg, m3) - Base time unit – A unit of time that the transmitter already recognizes (e.g.
Optional Transmitter Configuration Special volume flow unit Using the Transmitter 6.4.3 To create a special volume flow measurement unit: 1. Specify the base volume unit. 2. Specify the base time unit. 3. Specify the volume flow conversion factor. 4. Assign a name to the new special volume flow measurement unit. 5. Assign a name to the volume totalizer measurement unit. 6.4.
Optional Transmitter Configuration 8. Define the standard density to be used in calculations. • To use a fixed standard density, click the top radio button, enter a value for standard density in the Standard Density textbox, and click Next. • To use a calculated standard density, click the second radio button and click Next. Then enter values for Reference Temperature, Reference Pressure, and Specific Gravity on the next panel, and click Next. 9. Check the values displayed. 6.
Optional Transmitter Configuration Configuring the damping values A damping value is a period of time, in seconds, over which the process variable value will change to reflect 63% of the change in the actual process. Damping helps the transmitter smooth out small, rapid measurement fluctuations. • A high damping value makes the output appear to be smoother because the output must change slowly. • A low damping value makes the output appear to be more erratic because the output changes more quickly.
Optional Transmitter Configuration 6.6.3 Interaction with the update rate Flow and density damping values depend on the configured Update Rate (see Section 6.7). If you change the update rate, the damping values are automatically adjusted. Damping rates for Special are 20% of Normal damping rates. See Table 6-2. Note: The specific process variable selected for the Special update rate is not relevant; all damping values are adjusted as described. 6.
Optional Transmitter Configuration Effects of Special mode In Special mode: • Not all process variables are updated.
Optional Transmitter Configuration For the effect of flow direction on the mA output: • See Figure 6-1 if the 4 mA value of the mA output is set to 0. • See Figure 6-2 if the 4 mA value of the mA output is set to a negative value. For a discussion of these figures, see the examples following the figures. For the effect of flow direction on totalizers and flow values reported via digital communication, see Table 6-3.
Optional Transmitter Configuration Effect of flow direction on mA outputs: 4mA value < 0 20 12 4 –x Reverse flow(1) 0 Zero flow x 4 Reverse flow(1) 0 Zero flow x Forward flow(2) Flow direction parameter: • Reverse • Negate Forward 12 4 –x Reverse flow(1) 0 Zero flow x Forward flow(2) Flow direction parameter: • Absolute value • Bidirectional • Negate Bidirectional Optional Configuration Flow direction parameter: • Forward Example 1 12 –x Forward flow(2) mA output configuration: • 20
Optional Transmitter Configuration Example 2 Configuration: • Flow direction = Reverse • mA output: 4 mA = 0 g/s; 20 mA = 100 g/s (See the second graph in Figure 6-1.) As a result: Example 3 • Under conditions of forward flow or zero flow, the mA output level is 4 mA. • Under conditions of reverse flow, up to a flow rate of 100 g/s, the mA output level varies between 4 mA and 20 mA in proportion to the absolute value of the flow rate.
Optional Transmitter Configuration Effect of flow direction on totalizers and digital communications Using the Transmitter Table 6-3 Forward flow(1) Flow direction value Flow totals Flow values via digital comm. Forward Increase Positive Reverse No change Positive Bidirectional Increase Positive Absolute value Increase Positive(2) Negate Forward No change Negative Negate Bidirectional Decrease Negative Zero flow Flow totals Flow values via digital comm.
Optional Transmitter Configuration 4. Specifying the setpoint – the value at which the event will occur or switch state (ON to OFF, or vice versa). Note: Events do not occur if the process variable equals the setpoint. The process variable must be greater than (Active High) or less than (Active Low) the setpoint for the event to occur. Example Define Event 1 to indicate that the mass flow rate in forward or backward direction is less than 2 lb/min. 1. Specify lb/min as the mass flow unit. 2.
Optional Transmitter Configuration • A slug flow alarm is posted immediately. • During the slug duration period, the transmitter holds the mass flow rate at the last measured pre-slug value, independent of the mass flow rate measured by the sensor. All outputs that report mass flow rate and all internal calculations that include mass flow rate will use this value.
Optional Transmitter Configuration For a list of all status alarms and default severity levels, see Table 6-5. (For more information on status alarms, including possible causes and troubleshooting suggestions, see Section 11.10.

7.1 Using the Transmitter Chapter 7 Configuring the Filling and Dosing Application About this chapter This chapter explains how to configure the filling and dosing application on the Model 1500 transmitter. For information on using the filling and dosing application, see Chapter 8. Optional Configuration CAUTION Changing configuration can affect transmitter operation, including filling. Changes made to filling configuration while a fill is running do not take effect until the fill is ended.
Configuring the Filling and Dosing Application Transmitter outputs change state according to fill status or operator commands. The control system opens or closes valves in response to the signals from the transmitter. The filling and dosing application must be configured for the type of valve used for fill control: • One-stage discrete – Fill controlled by a single discrete (ON/OFF) valve.

9.1 Compensation Chapter 9 Pressure Compensation Overview This chapter defines pressure compensation and describes how to configure it. 9.2 Pressure compensation The Model 1500 transmitter can compensate for the effect of pressure on the sensor flow tubes. Pressure effect is defined as the change in sensor flow and density sensitivity due to process pressure change away from calibration pressure.
Pressure Compensation Not all sensors or applications require pressure correction factors. For the pressure correction values to be used, obtain the pressure effect values from the product data sheet for your sensor, then reverse the signs (e.g., if the pressure effect is 0.000004, enter a pressure correction factor of –0.000004). 9.2.3 Pressure measurement unit The default measurement unit for pressure is PSI. In other words, the transmitter expects to receive pressure data in psi.

10.1 Compensation Chapter 10 Measurement Performance Overview This chapter describes the following procedures: Meter verification (see Section 10.3) • Meter validation and adjusting meter factors (see Section 10.4) • Density calibration (see Section 10.5) • Temperature calibration (see Section 10.
Measurement Performance Meter verification either holds the last output value or causes the outputs to go to the configured fault values during the procedure (approximately 4 minutes). Micro Motion recommends that you perform meter verification on a regular basis. 10.2.2 Meter validation and meter factors Meter validation compares a measurement value reported by the transmitter with an external measurement standard. Meter validation requires one data point.
Measurement Performance 10.2.4 Comparison and recommendations • • - Meter verification requires approximately four minutes to perform. During these four minutes, flow can continue (provided sufficient stability is maintained); however, outputs will not report process data. - Meter validation for density does not interrupt the process at all. However, meter validation for mass flow or volume flow requires process down-time for the length of the test. - Calibration requires process down-time.
Measurement Performance If stability varies outside test limits, the meter verification procedure will be aborted. Verify process stability and retry. During meter verification, you must choose to fix the outputs at either the configured fault levels or the last measured value. The outputs will remain fixed for the duration of the test (approximately four minutes). Disable all control loops for the duration of the procedure, and ensure that any data reported during this period is handled appropriately.
Measurement Performance 10.3.1 Specification uncertainty limit and test results When the test is completed, the result will be reported as Pass, Fail, or Abort: Pass – The test result is within the specification uncertainty limit. If transmitter zero and configuration match factory values, the sensor will meet factory specifications for flow and density measurement. It is expected that meters will pass meter verification every time the test is run.
Measurement Performance 10.3.2 Additional ProLink II tools for meter verification In addition to the Pass, Fail, and Abort result provided by the procedure, ProLink II provides the following additional meter verification tools: • Test metadata – ProLink II allows you to enter a large amount of metadata about each test so that past tests can be audited easily. ProLink II will prompt you for this optional data during the test.
Measurement Performance Example 250 MassFlowMeterFactor = 1 × ------------------ = 0.9989 250.27 The first mass flow meter factor is 0.9989. Compensation The flowmeter is installed and proved for the first time. The flowmeter mass measurement is 250.27 lb; the reference device measurement is 250 lb. A mass flow meter factor is determined as follows: One year later, the flowmeter is proved again. The flowmeter mass measurement is 250.07 lb; the reference device measurement is 250.25 lb.
Measurement Performance Density calibration fluids D1 and D2 density calibration require a D1 (low-density) fluid and a D2 (high-density) fluid. You may use air and water. If you are calibrating a T-Series sensor, the D1 fluid must be air and the D2 fluid must be water. CAUTION For T-Series sensors, the D1 calibration must be performed on air and the D2 calibration must be performed on water. For D3 density calibration, the D3 fluid must meet the following requirements: • Minimum density of 0.

Measurement Performance 10.6 Performing temperature calibration Temperature calibration is a two-part procedure: temperature offset calibration and temperature slope calibration. The entire procedure must be completed without interruption. You can calibrate for temperature with ProLink II. See Figure 10-4.
11.1 Compensation Chapter 11 Troubleshooting Overview This chapter describes guidelines and procedures for troubleshooting the meter.

Troubleshooting Some fault conditions can be corrected by cycling power to the transmitter. A power cycle can clear the following: Loop test • Zero failure • Stopped internal totalizer Compensation 11.8 • I/O problems If you are experiencing problems with an mA output, discrete output, or discrete input, use Table 11-2 to identify an appropriate remedy.
Troubleshooting Table 11-2 I/O problems and remedies continued Symptom Possible cause Possible remedy mA reading correct at low currents but wrong at higher currents mA loop resistance may be too high Verify that mA output load resistance is below maximum supported load (see installation manual for your transmitter). Cannot zero with Zero button Not pressing Zero button for sufficient interval Button must be pressed for 0.5 seconds to be recognized.

A032(2) Meter Verification/Outputs In Fault Meter verification in progress, with outputs set to fault. Allow the procedure to complete. If desired, abort the procedure and restart with outputs set to last measured value.
Troubleshooting 11.11 Checking process variables Micro Motion suggests that you make a record of the process variables listed below, under normal operating conditions. This will help you recognize when the process variables are unusually high or low. The meter fingerprinting feature can also provide useful data (see Section 11.12).
Troubleshooting Table 11-5 Process variables problems and possible remedies continued RF interference Check environment for RF interference. See Section 11.14.4. Wiring problem Verify all sensor-to-transmitter wiring and ensure the wires are making good contact. Incorrectly grounded 9-wire cable (in remote core processor with remote transmitter installations) Verify 9-wire cable installation. Refer to Appendix B for diagrams, and see the installation manual for your transmitter.
Troubleshooting Table 11-5 Process variables problems and possible remedies continued Symptom Cause Possible remedy Inaccurate flow rate or fill total Bad flow calibration factor Verify characterization. See Section 4.2. Inappropriate measurement unit Check configuration. See Section 11.19. Bad sensor zero Rezero the flowmeter. See Section 3.5. Bad density calibration factors Verify characterization. See Section 4.2. Bad flowmeter grounding See Section 11.14.3. Slug flow See Section 11.17.
Troubleshooting 11.
Troubleshooting If fill accuracy is unsatisfactory or has changed, or if fill variation is too great: • Implement overshoot compensation (if not already implemented). • If standard AOC calibration is implemented, repeat the AOC calibration. • If rolling AOC calibration is implemented, try increasing the AOC Window Length value. • Check for mechanical problems with the valve. 11.
Troubleshooting 11.14.4 Checking for RF interference • Eliminate the RF source. Possible causes include a source of radio communications, or a large transformer, pump, motor, or anything else that can generate a strong electrical or electromagnetic field, in the vicinity of the transmitter. • Move the transmitter. • Use shielded cable for the discrete output. - Terminate output cable shielding at the input device.
Troubleshooting If the slug flow condition clears before the slug-flow duration expires: • Outputs that represent flow rate revert to reporting actual flow. • The slug flow alarm is deactivated, but remains in the active alarm log until it is acknowledged. If the slug flow condition does not clear before the slug-flow duration expires, outputs that represent flow rate report a flow rate of zero. If slug time is configured for 0.
Troubleshooting 11.21 Checking the characterization If you discover that any of the characterization data are wrong, perform a complete characterization. See Section 4.2. Compensation A transmitter that is incorrectly characterized for its sensor might produce inaccurate output values. If the flowmeter appears to be operating correctly but sends inaccurate output values, an incorrect characterization could be the cause. 11.

Polarity of pick-off reversed or polarity of drive reversed Contact Micro Motion. See Section 1.8. Slug flow See Section 11.17. Foreign material caught in flow tubes Purge flow tubes.
Troubleshooting 11.24.1 Checking the core processor LED To check the core processor LED: 1. Maintain power to the transmitter. 2. Remove the core processor lid (see Figure B-2). The core processor is instrinsically safe and can be opened in all environments. 3. Check the core processor LED against the conditions described in Table 11-11 (standard core processor) or Table 11-12 (enhanced core processor). 4. To return to normal operation, replace the lid.
Troubleshooting Table 11-12 Enhanced core processor LED behavior, meter conditions, and remedies Compensation LED behavior Condition Possible remedy Solid green Normal operation No action required. Flashing yellow Zero in progress If calibration is in progress, no action required. If no calibration is in progress, contact Micro Motion. See Section 1.8. Solid yellow Low severity alarm Check alarm status. Solid red High severity alarm Check alarm status.
Troubleshooting To return to normal operation: 1. Reconnect the 4-wire cable between the core processor and the transmitter (see Figure B-3 or Figure B-4). 2. Replace the core processor lid. Note: When reassembling the meter components, be sure to grease all O-rings.
