Series 10DX3000 Magnetic Flowmeter Instruction Manual
3.0 START-UP & OPERATION
The Series 10DX3000 Magnetic Flowmeter (which includes the integral or remote Signal Converter)
is precision calibrated at the factory. Each Flowmeter is calibrated to determine its meter capacity at
a given velocity. Refer to Table 1-4.
There are no operating controls that require field adjustment unless the full scale range setting was
not specified. If a change in the full scale range setting is required, refer to the Instruction Bulletin
supplied with the Signal Converter. If no change is required, the equipment is ready for operation as
received.
Prior to initial system start up, verify that the meter is properly installed; check flow direction, wiring
interconnection and grounding as discussed in Section 2.0 Installation. Particular attention should be
given to the meter grounding procedures; improper grounding may result in unsatisfactory perform-
ance. Refer to the Signal Converter Instruction Bulletin for interconnection grounding.
Start flow through the process piping system that includes the meter. Allow a nominal flow through
the pipeline for several minutes to purge entrapped air. The pipeline must be full for accurate flow
measurement.
Apply the appropriate power for the 10DX3111 Magnetic Flowmeter by closing the external switch or
circuit breaker; there are no switches inside of the equipment. Also energize any auxiliary equipment
associated with the flow metering system, such as remote analog recorders, controllers or rate
indicators.
Initiate process flow through the pipeline. Flow measurement and concurrent output signal transmis-
sion will commence with flow through the meter. Information concerning operation of the Signal
Converter is provided in the Instruction Manual supplied with the Converter.
