  • Page 35 Configure process measurement 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. You must enter Two-Phase Flow Low Limit in g/cm³, even if you configured another unit for density measurement.

  • Page 36: Configure Calculated Line Density Measurement

    Configure process measurement If the two-phase flow condition does not clear before Two-Phase Flow Timeout expires, line density reverts to actual process density, but the two-phase flow alert remains active. If Two-Phase Flow Timeout is set to 0.0 seconds, two-phase flow will cause a two-phase flow alert but will have no effect on how the meter measures or reports line density.

  • Page 90 Integrate the meter with the control system Overview Burst messages contain information on process variables or transmitter status. You can configure up to three burst messages. Each message can contain different information. Burst messages also provide the mechanism for trigger mode and event notification.
