2.1

Power up the transmitter

The transmitter must be powered up for all configuration and commissioning tasks, or for
process measurement.

Postrequisites
Although the sensor is ready to receive process fluid shortly after power-up, the electronics
can take up to 10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium. Therefore, if this is the initial
startup, or if power is been off long enough to allow components to reach ambient
temperature, allow the electronics to warm up for approximately 10 minutes before
relying on process measurements. During this warm-up period, you may observe minor
measurement instability or inaccuracy.
2.2

Check flowmeter status

Check the flowmeter for any error conditions that require user action or that affect
measurement accuracy.
Configuration and Use Manual
Power up the transmitter
Check flowmeter status
Make a startup connection to the transmitter
Characterize the flowmeter (if required)
Verify mass flow measurement
Verify the zero
Ensure that all transmitter and sensor covers and seals are closed.
CAUTION!
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, ensure that all covers
and seals are tightly closed. For hazardous area installations, applying power while
housing covers are removed or loose can cause an explosion.
Turn on the electrical power at the power supply.
The transmitter will automatically perform diagnostic routines. During this period,
Alarm 009 is active. The diagnostic routines should complete in approximately
30 seconds. For transmitters with a display, the status LED will turn green and begin
to flash when the startup diagnostics are complete. If the status LED exhibits
different behavior, an alarm condition is present.
