Postrequisites
Although the sensor is ready to receive process fluid shortly after power-up, the electronics
can take up to 10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium. Therefore, if this is the initial
startup, or if power has been off long enough to allow components to reach ambient
Configuration and Use Manual
Power up the transmitter
Check meter status
Make a startup connection to the transmitter
(Optional) Adjust digital communications settings
Verify mass flow measurement
Verify the zero
Is DC powered only
Has a minimum 19.2 to 28.8 VDC, 6.3 watts
At startup, the transmitter power source must provide a minimum of 1.0 amperes of
short-term current per transmitter
The length and conductor diameter of the power cable must be sized to provide
19.2 VDC minimum at the power terminals, at a load current of 330 mA
Ensure that all transmitter and sensor covers and seals are closed.
WARNING!
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, ensure that all covers
and seals are tightly closed. For hazardous area installations, applying power while
housing covers are removed or loose can cause an explosion.
Turn on the electrical power at the power supply.
The transmitter will automatically perform diagnostic routines. During this period,
Alert 009 is active. The diagnostic routines should complete in approximately
30 seconds. The status LED will turn green when the startup diagnostics are
complete. If the status LED exhibits different behavior, an alert is active.
