7. Operation
7.1 Preparation for Starting
Operation
The Model EJ115 low ow transmitter
measures the ow rates of liquids and gases. This
section describes the operation procedure for the
EJ115 as shown in Figure 7.1 (vertical impulse
piping type, high-pressure connection: right side)
when measuring a liquid ow rate.
(a) Follow the procedures below to introduce
process pressure into the transmitter.
1) Open the stop valve on the downstream side.
2) Gradually open the stop valve on the upstream
side to introduce process uid into the
transmitter pressure-detector section.
This will cause process uid to ow into the
orice built in the manifold, and apply ow-
dependent differential pressure to the high and
low pressure sides of the transmitter.
3) Conrm that there are no pressure leaks in the
stop valves on the upstream and downstream
sides, process piping connection or transmitter,
etc.
(b) Venting Gas from the Transmitter Pressure-
detector Section.
Since the piping in the example of Figure 7.1
is constructed to be self-venting, no venting
operation is required. If it is not possible
to make the piping self-venting, refer to
Subsection 7.6 for instructions.
(c) Turn ON power and connect the BT200.
Open the terminal box cover, and connect the
BT200 to the SUPPLY + and – terminals.
(d) Using the BT200, conrm that the transmitter is
operating properly. Check parameter values or
change the setpoints as necessary.
If the transmitter is equipped with an integral
indicator, its indication can be used to conrm
that the transmitter is operating properly.

Using the BT200
• If the wiring system is faulty, ‘communication
error’ appears on the display.
• If the transmitter is faulty, ‘SELF CHECK
