Toggle remote input device Read frequency at remote device Fix Discrete Output Verify reading at transmitter Verify reading at transmitter Read output at receiving device Correct? UnFix No output Check out
Initial Transmitter Startup Procedures 4.3 Trimming the milliamp (mA) output(s) Trimming the mA output creates a common measurement range between the transmitter and the device that receives the mA output. For example, a transmitter might send a 4 mA signal that the receiving device reports incorrectly as 3.8 mA. If the transmitter output is trimmed correctly, it will send a signal appropriately compensated to ensure that the receiving device actually indicates a 4 mA signal.
Initial Transmitter Startup Procedures 3. Select Milliamp 1 Trim or Milliamp 2 Trim. The following screen is displayed: Before You Begin Figure 4-4 Milliamp trim wizard – Screen 1 ProLink II Setup This screen allows you to compare the transmitter output (the Present Output value) to the output level being received at an external device. 4. Read the mA output level at the receiving device. 5. Type the value that you read at the receiving device in the Enter Meas box. 6. Click Next.
Initial Transmitter Startup Procedures If the adjusted output is not 4.0: a. Click Back. b. Read the output level at the receiving device and enter the new value in the Enter Meas box. c. Click Next. d. Repeat until the adjusted output is 4.0 (or close enough for your application). If the adjusted output is 4.0, click Next. 7. Click Next to repeat this procedure to trim the 20 mA output. Once you have completed the 20 mA trim, the procedure is complete. Click Finish. 4.
Initial Transmitter Startup Procedures Before You Begin CAUTION If fluid is flowing through the sensor, the sensor zero calibration may be inaccurate, resulting in inaccurate process measurement. To improve the sensor zero calibration and measurement accuracy, ensure that process flow through the sensor has completely stopped. 2. Open the ProLink menu. 3. Click the Calibration option. The calibration options for the currently connected transmitter are displayed (see Figure 4-3). 4.
Initial Transmitter Startup Procedures 8. Wait until the zero time has expired. At the end of this time: • If the Calibration Failure status light turns red, the zero procedure failed. - See your transmitter manual for troubleshooting procedures. - If desired, use the buttons in the dialog box to restore the previous zero value or the zero value established during factory calibration. Note: These two functions are not available on all transmitters.

Transmitter Configuration, Characterization, and Calibration 5.6 Compensating for pressure Some Micro Motion transmitters 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. 5.6.
Transmitter Configuration, Characterization, and Calibration Transmitter Configuration 5. If you will use a static pressure value: a. Type the pressure value in the External Pressure box. b. Click Apply. c. Ensure that neither polled variable is configured to poll for pressure. Polling for temperature is allowed. See Section 5.8. 5.7 Compensating for temperature Temperature data are used in several different calculations. Micro Motion sensors always report temperature data to the transmitter.
Transmitter Configuration, Characterization, and Calibration 5.8 Configuring polling Polling is used to retrieve temperature or pressure data from an external device. These data can then be used for API calculation or other process variable calculations in applications that require pressure or temperature compensation. You may query one or two external devices. You must also ensure that the primary mA output has been wired for HART protocol. See Chapter 2 or the installation manual for your transmitter.
6.1 Transmitter Configuration Chapter 6 Meter Verification Overview Micro Motion recommends that you perform meter verification on a regular basis.

This metadata will be saved with the test results and will also appear on the test report which will be generated at the end of the test. Notes: The metadata fields are optional.
Meter Verification Specification Uncertainty Limit The result of the meter verification test will be a percent uncertainty of normalized tube stiffness. The default limit for this uncertainty is ±4.0%. This limit is stored in the transmitter, and can be changed with ProLink II if necessary by clicking the arrow in the Specification Uncertainty Limit box and selecting a value between 0.1 and 5 %. For most installations, it is advisable to leave the test limits at the default value.
Meter Verification Meter verification is not affected by current process values. However, during the test, process conditions must be stable. To maximize stability: • Maintain a constant temperature and pressure. • Avoid changes to fluid composition (e.g., two-phase flow, settling, etc.). • Maintain a constant flow. For higher test certainty, reduce or stop flow. If stability varies outside test limits, the meter verification procedure will be aborted.
Meter Verification CAUTION Transmitter outputs and process values reported through digital communication will remain fixed at either the configured fault levels or the last measured value for the duration of the test. To ensure the safety of your process: • • Disable all control loops for the duration of the procedure. Ensure that any data reported during this period is handled appropriately. The test takes approximately four minutes to complete.
Meter Verification Fourth panel: Test Results Transmitter Configuration 6.2.4 The Test Results panel, shown in Figure 6-4, summarizes the result of the meter verification test. Figure 6-4 Meter Verification - Test Results panel Meter Verification Data Logger The indicator located at the top of the panel indicates the test result. It is green if the meter passed the test and red if it failed. In addition to the pass/fail indicator, ProLink II shows the changes in tube stiffness on a graph.
Meter Verification You can manipulate the graphed data in various ways by double-clicking the graph to open a configuration dialog or by right-clicking on it to open a contextual menu. From there, you can also export the graph in a number of formats (including “to printer”) by clicking Export. When you have finished reviewing the test results: • To save the data to the ProLink II database, click Next. • To exit without saving, click Cancel.

B.1 Discrete Batch Appendix B Configuring the Discrete Batch Application About this appendix This appendix explains how to configure the discrete batch application, and provides basic information on batch operation. Note: For more detailed information on operating the discrete batch application, see the Series 3000 MVD transmitter manual. Index Note: The discrete batch application is an optional feature, and may not be installed on your transmitter.
Configuring the Discrete Batch Application Figure B-1 Discrete batch configuration panel 3. Click on the Discrete IO or Discrete Output tab. A panel similar to Figure B-2 is displayed. In this panel: a. Configure the required discrete outputs. - For 1-stage operation, you must configure one discrete output. This output must control either the pump or the primary valve, as appropriate to your application. This discrete output is required.
Configuring the Discrete Batch Application Figure B-2 Discrete IO panel Discrete Batch Index 4. If desired, you can assign a batch control function to a discrete input or discrete event. See Section B.3.4. 5. If you enabled the Batch AOC control option, you should perform batch AOC (automatic overshoot compensation) calibration. Batch AOC is used to minimize the amount of overshoot per batch. See Section B.5. 6. You may optionally configure the batch ticket and ticket printing.
Configuring the Discrete Batch Application Table B-1 Flow sources Flow source Default Description None None • Batch controller is disabled. • START button will not appear on display.
Configuring the Discrete Batch Application Table B-2 Control options continued Discrete Batch Default Description Reset on start No • If set to Yes, the batch totalizer resets when the operator starts the batch. • If set to No, the operator must reset the batch before starting a new batch. Several methods are available for resetting the batch. See Section B.3.4. • If the custody transter application is installed, Reset on start is set to No and cannot be changed.
Configuring the Discrete Batch Application One-stage versus two-stage batching If Number of stages is set to 1, a single pump or valve is used to control the batch. When the batch is started, the pump starts or the valve opens; at the configured target, the pump stops or the valve closes. Open primary, Open secondary, and Close primary values are not required when configuring the preset (see Section B.3.3).
Configuring the Discrete Batch Application Table B-3 Preset parameters continued Default Description Density curves None If an enhanced density variable is selected as the flow source, you must select a density curve that will apply to this preset. The batch total will be based on the density curve for that variable. Overrun(3) 0.0 kg • If Overrun is enabled as a control option, enter the amount over the target value at which batch overrun will be indicated.
Configuring the Discrete Batch Application Example 2 Configure presets by percent of target under the following conditions: • The target is 200 kilograms • The primary valve opens at the start of the batch and closes when 180 kilograms have been delivered • The secondary valve opens when 100 kilograms have been delivered • The end warning occurs when 160 kilograms have been delivered kilograms- = 0.90 Close primary = 180 -----------------------------------200 kilograms Since 0.
