8.  Operation
IMPORTANT
The information of transmitter conguration in 
the chapter 8 is specic to HART Communication 
type. For other Communication type except 
HART Communication Type, refer to each 
communication manuals.
8.1  Preparation for Starting 
Operation
This section describes the operation procedure for 
the EJX multivariable transmitter as shown in gure 
8.1 (vertical impulse piping type, high-pressure 
connection: right side) when measuring the liquid 
ow rate.
NOTE
Check that the process pressure tap valves, 
drain valves, and 3-valve manifold stop valves 
on both the low pressure and high pressure 
sides are closed, and that the 3-valve manifold 
equalizing valve is opened.
(a)  Follow the procedures below to introduce 
process pressure into the impulse piping and 
transmitter.
■  Multivariable Transmitters
1)  Open the low pressure and high pressure tap 
valves to ll the impulse piping with process 
liquid.
2)  Slowly open the high pressure stop valve to ll 
the transmitter pressure-detector section with 
process liquid.
3)  Close the high pressure stop valve.
4)  Gradually open the low pressure stop valve and 
completely ll the transmitter pressure-detector 
section with process liquid.
5)  Close the low pressure stop valve.
6)  Gradually open the high pressure stop valve. At 
this time, equal pressure is applied to the low 
and high pressure sides of the transmitter.
7)  Check that there are no liquid leaks in the 
impulse piping, 3-valve manifold, transmitter, or 
other components.
Venting Gas from the Transmitter Pressure-
detector Section
•  Since the piping in the example of gure 8.1 
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 
8.5 for instructions. Leave the equalizing valve 
open even after venting gas.
(b)  Turn ON power and connect the communicator.
  Open the terminal box cover, and connect 
the communicator to the SUPPLY + and 
– terminals.
(c) Using the communicator, conrm that the 
transmitter is operating properly. Check 
parameter values or change the setpoints as 
necessary.  
See IM 01C25R02-01E (HART communication) 
for communicator operation.
  If the transmitter is equipped with an integral 
indicator, its indication can be used to conrm 
that the transmitter is operating properly.
