Chapter 5
Flowmeter Startup
5.1
Overview
This chapter describes the procedures you should perform the first time you install the flowmeter.
Performing these steps will help verify that all the flowmeter components are installed and wired
correctly. It is usually necessary to perform some additional first-time configuration of the transmitter,
which is described in Chapter 6.
The following procedures are discussed:
•
Applying power to the flowmeter (see Section 5.2) – This step is required.
•
Performing a loop test on the transmitter outputs (see Section 5.3) – Although this is not a
requirement, performing a loop test is strongly recommended as a way to verify that the
flowmeter is properly installed and wired.
•
Trimming the mA outputs (see Section 5.4) – This step may be necessary depending on the
results of a loop test.
•
Zeroing the flowmeter (see Section 5.5) – Zeroing is not generally necessary, but you may
need to zero to meet local requirements or if you are instructed to do so by Micro Motion
Customer Service.
This chapter provides only basic information for each procedure. For more details about how to
perform each procedure, see the flowcharts for your transmitter and communication tool, provided in
the appendices to this manual.
Notes: All ProLink II procedures provided in this chapter assume that your computer is already
connected to the transmitter and you have established communication. All ProLink II procedures also
assume that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 3 for more
information.
If you are using AMS, the AMS interface will be similar to the ProLink II interface described in this
chapter.
All Communicator procedures provided in this chapter assume that you are starting from the
"Online" menu. See Chapter 4 for more information.
