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.
Identify the connection type to use, and follow the instructions for that connection type in
the appropriate appendix.

Verify mass flow measurement

Check to see that the mass flow rate reported by the transmitter is accurate. You can use
any available method.

Verify the zero

Verifying the zero helps you determine if the stored zero value is appropriate to your
installation, or if a field zero can improve measurement accuracy.
The zero verification procedure analyzes the Live Zero value under conditions of zero flow,
and compares it to the Zero Stability range for the sensor. If the average Live Zero value is
within a reasonable range, the zero value stored in the transmitter is valid. Performing a
field calibration will not improve measurement accuracy.
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:
Configuration and Use Manual
Read the value for Mass Flow Rate on the transmitter display.
Connect to the transmitter with ProLink III and read the value for Mass Flow Rate in
the Process Variables panel.
Connect to the transmitter with the Field Communicator and read the value for Mass
Flow Rate.
