SECTION 4.0: START UP AND TROUBLESHOOTING

4.1 START UP

When the power is applied to the F-2000 series vortex meter, alphanumeric characters will appear
on the display. Initially, the meter will operate in a "TEST" mode where self diagnostic checks are
performed on the pre-amplifi er and sensor circuits. Following this, confi guration data is loaded
from the non-volatile memory and the program advances to the measurement mode.
i
The meter should be installed and powered for at least 15 minutes before media is allowed to fl ow
through the meter.
!
Flow velocity through the meter should be increased gradually until full fl ow is achieved.

4.2 MEASUREMENT MODE

In the measurement mode, the display
indicates real-time fl ow, temperature and/
or pressure data in the appropriate units.
The top line of the display indicates the
current measured value. The second line
of the display indicates the programmed
units of measurement.
There are two options for displaying data in
the measurement mode. The display may
be set to automatically scroll through each
menu page or it may be set to manually step
through the menu pages using the up arrow
key to advance each page. Displays operating
in the cyclic mode will advance through
each page every 6 seconds.
i
When measuring steam fl ow, condensate may form on the cool surfaces of the meter and piping
system when the system is started up for the fi rst time (causing faulty measurement).
