Options for Density Measurement Unit The transmitter provides a standard set of measurement units for Density Measurement Unit.
  • Page 46 Configure process measurement Procedure Set Two-Phase Flow Low Limit to the lowest density value that is considered normal in your process. Values below this will cause the transmitter to post Alert A105 (Two-Phase Flow). 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.

  • Page 47: Configure Density Damping

    Configure process measurement • The two-phase flow alert is deactivated, but remains in the active alert log until it is acknowledged. If the two-phase flow condition does not clear before Two-Phase Flow Timeout expires, the outputs that represent flow rate report a flow rate of 0. If Two-Phase Flow Timeout is set to 0.0 seconds, the outputs that represent flow rate will report a flow rate of 0 as soon as two-phase flow is detected.

  • Page 48: Configure Density Cutoff

    Configure process measurement • In general, lower damping values are preferable because there is less chance of data loss, and less lag time between the actual measurement and the reported value. The value you enter is automatically rounded off to the nearest valid value. The valid values for Density Damping depend on the setting of Update Rate.

If either of them are close to zero (but neither is zero), plugged tubes may be the source of your prob- lem.

  • Page 154: Collect Pickoff Voltage Data

    Troubleshooting To know whether your pickoff voltage is unusually low, you must collect pickoff voltage data during the problem condition and compare it to pickoff voltage data from a period of normal operation. Drive gain and pickoff voltage are inversely proportional. As drive gain increases, pickoff voltages decrease and vice versa.
