    Quick start Important In most cases, the factory zero is more accurate than the field zero. Do not zero the meter unless one of the following is true: • The zero is required by site procedures. • The stored zero value fails the zero verification procedure. Procedure Allow the flowmeter to warm up for at least 20 minutes after applying power.
  • Page 17 Quick start Term Definition Field Zero The zero value obtained by performing a zero calibration outside the fac- tory. Prior Zero The zero value stored in the transmitter at the time a field zero calibration is begun. May be the factory zero or a previous field zero. Manual Zero The zero value stored in the transmitter, typically obtained from a zero calibration procedure.
