Quick start Quick start Topics covered in this chapter: • Power up the transmitter • Check meter status • Make a startup connection to the transmitter • (Optional) Adjust digital communications settings • Verify mass flow measurement • Verify the zero Power up the transmitter The transmitter must be powered up for all configuration and commissioning tasks, or for process measurement.
Page 14: Check Meter Status
Quick start Check meter status Check the meter for any error conditions that require user action or that affect measurement accuracy. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the power-up sequence to complete. Immediately after power-up, the transmitter runs through diagnostic routines and checks for error conditions.
Page 15: Make A Startup Connection To The Transmitter
Quick start Make a startup connection to the transmitter For all configuration tools except the display, you must have an active connection to the transmitter to configure the transmitter. Follow this procedure to make your first connection to the transmitter. Identify the connection type to use, and follow the instructions for that connection type in the appropriate appendix.

Otherwise, the master will reject the base density and report the following alarm: A115: No External Input or Polled Data Alert • On the slave side, setup the HART Primary Variable for Base Density. The master will reject anything other than Base Density for the HART Primary Variable and trigger an A115 alarm.

Page 48: Configure Two-Phase Flow Parameters
Configure process measurement Procedure Set Density Measurement Unit to the option you want to use. The default setting for Density Measurement Unit is g/cm3 (grams per cubic centimeter). Options for Density Measurement Unit The transmitter provides a standard set of measurement units for Density Measurement Unit.
Page 49 Configure process measurement Procedure Set Two-Phase Flow Low Limit to the lowest density value that is considered normal in your process. Values below this will cause the transmitter to post Alert A105 (Two-Phase Flow). Gas entrainment can cause your process density to drop temporarily. To reduce the occurrence of two-phase flow alerts that are not significant to your process, set Two-Phase Flow Low Limit slightly below your expected lowest process density.
Page 50: Configure Density Damping
Configure process measurement • The two-phase flow alert is deactivated, but remains in the active alert log until it is acknowledged. If the two-phase flow condition does not clear before Two-Phase Flow Timeout expires, the outputs that represent flow rate report a flow rate of 0. If Two-Phase Flow Timeout is set to 0.0 seconds, the outputs that represent flow rate will report a flow rate of 0 as soon as two-phase flow is detected.
Page 51: Configure Density Cutoff
Configure process measurement • Whenever the damping value is non-zero, the reported measurement will lag the actual measurement because the reported value is being averaged over time. • In general, lower damping values are preferable because there is less chance of data loss, and less lag time between the actual measurement and the reported value.

Page 53: Effect Of Temperature Damping On Process Measurement
Configure process measurement Overview Temperature Damping controls the amount of damping that will be applied to the line temperature value, when the on-board temperature data is used (RTD). Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. Damping Value specifies the time period (in seconds) over which the transmitter will spread changes in the process variable.
Page 54: Configure Pressure Compensation
Not all sensors or applications require pressure compensation. The pressure effect for a specific sensor model can be found in the product data sheet located at www.emerson.com. If you are uncertain about implementing pressure compensation, contact customer service. Prerequisites You will need the flow factor, density factor, and calibration pressure values for your sensor.
Page 55: Configure Pressure Compensation Using The Field Communicator
Configure process measurement Example: If the density factor is 0.000006 g/cm /PSI, enter −0.000006g/cm3/PSI. Set Pressure Source to the method that the transmitter will use to obtain pressure data. Option Description Poll for external value The transmitter will poll an external pressure device, using HART protocol over the primary mA Output.
Page 56 Configure process measurement Set Pressure Compensation to Enabled. Enter Flow Cal Pressure for your sensor. The calibration pressure is the pressure at which your sensor was calibrated, and defines the pressure at which there is no pressure effect. If the data is unavailable, enter 20 PSI.

Transmitter components and installation wiring Appendix E Transmitter components and installation wiring Topics covered in this appendix: • Installation types • Power supply terminals and ground • Input/output (I/O) wiring terminals Installation types The transmitter was ordered and shipped to be installed in one of several possible configurations.
Page 236 Transmitter components and installation wiring Figure E-2: High-temperature meters with factory connection The transmitter is shipped with a flexible connection factory installed between the sensor and the transmitter. The transmitter must be dismounted from its shipping location (spot‐welded to the sensor case) and then mounted separately.
Page 237 Transmitter components and installation wiring Figure E-4: Remote core processor with remote sensor installation The transmitter, core processor, and sensor are all mounted separately. The 4‐wire connection between the transmitter and core processor must be field wired. The 9‐wire connection between the core processor and the sensor must be field wired.
