IM 01F06A00-01EN
After you have installed the fl owmeter into the 
process piping, wired the input/output terminals, set 
up the required parameters, the vortex fl owmeter 
should output an accurate fl ow signal from its 
terminals as soon as the measured liquid begins to 
fl ow.
This section describes procedure of test method 
and adjustment method for the pre-operation.
NOTE
The initial parameter setting has already been 
done at the factory according to the sizing data 
when ordering. Therefore it is not necessary to 
set parameters except measurement condition 
changes or some additions happen.
10.1 Adjustment
10.1.1 Zero Adjustment
No zero adjustment is necessary since the zero 
point does not shift.
Because of the effect of electrical noise and 
vibration noise, digitalYEWFLO may provide an 
output even when the fl owrate is zero. In that case, 
properly eliminate the source of the noise.
Refer to Section 10.2 “Adjustment for Manual 
Mode.”
10.1.2 Span Adjustment
In normal application, you need not confi rm the 
span.
If you need to ensure the output of 4 to 20mA DC, 
refer to Subsection 10.1.3 “Loop Test.”
10.1.3 Loop Test
To ensure output of 4 to 20mA DC or pulse, their 
loop tests can be done using parameter “J10 
(Analog out)” or “J20 (Pulse test)”.
If you are verifying the analog output, follow the 
procedure on the verifi cation procedure.
<Check Procedure>
1. Connect the instruments referring to Figure 10.1, 
and warm up for three minutes more.
2. Set span frequency in Parameter J10:OUT 
ANALOG.
3. In case the load resistance is 250, digital 
multimeter indicates 5V. Otherwise if it is known 
load resistance value, it indicates R ()  0.02 
(A).
4. Check output value is in the rated value (±0.016 
mA) after set 50% in Parameter J10.
5. Check output value is in the rated value (±0.016 
mA) after set 0% in Parameter J10.

IMPORTANT
•  When using any test-purpose measuring 
instruments, do not ground them.
•  All of your parameter settings will be 
cancelled if you turn digitalYEWFLO off less 
than 30 seconds after the parameter setup. 
Keep digitalYEWFLO turned on at least 30 
seconds after setting up the parameters.
NOTE
When confi gure the parameters using the HART 
Confi guration Tool, refer to Section 8.11 “Menu 
Tree (HART 5)” or Section 9.11 “Menu Tree 
(HART 7).”
