06EN003490 Rev. B ST80/ST80L Flow Meter Typographical Conventions Important notes or warnings are shown like the following: Note: A note is additional information that adds to or supplements the topic. Caution: A caution indicates an action that can cause equipment damage, loss of data or software, or minor injury. Warning: A warning indicates an action that can cause equipment damage, or serious injury/death, or both.
● All location specific installation and wiring requirements must be met and maintained. FCI recommends an input power circuit breaker be installed between the power source and the flow meter. This facilitates easy power disconnection during commissioning and maintenance procedures. Use a switch or circuit breaker if the instrument is in a hazardous area.

The proper flow meter location in the process piping configuration is critical to the instrument’s ability to measure the process variables accurately. FCI recommends 20 nominal pipe diameters upstream and 10 pipe diameters downstream of the instrument installation point for most applications.
Compression Fitting FCI single point insertion flow meters are calibrated at the centerline of the process pipe. The flow element is properly mounted when the tip of the flow element is located 0.50 inches (13 mm) past the pipe centerline. See Figure 2 below.
ST80/ST80L Flow Meter INSTALLATION Flange Mount The flange mount flow element is shown in Figure 3 below. Attach the process mating flange with care. Correctly orient the flow element's reference flat to ensure the instrument's calibrated accuracy. ● Verify the process media flow matches the flow direction arrow on the flow element. ●...
A retractable low and medium pressure packing gland, with 1¼" MNPT threads or ANSI/DIN flange, and graphite or Teflon packing, is a process connection option. FCI single point flow meters are calibrated at the centerline of the process pipe. The flow element is properly mounted when the tip of the flow element is located .50 inches (13 mm) past the pipe centerline.
ST80/ST80L Flow Meter INSTALLATION Mark the insertion pipe at the calculated insertion depth. Ball Valve Applications Only: If a ball valve is required, install the ball valve to the process mounting coupling. Close the ball valve to prevent the process media from leaking out when installing the packing gland with the process line pressurized. Fully retract the insertion probe into the cavity of the packing gland and install the packing gland into the process mounting coupling or ball valve as described in the previous sections: Flange Mount...
Use power wiring with a minimum 90 °C rating. ESD Precautions Caution: FCI flow meters contain static-sensitive devices.

Totalizer Setup The flow totalizer function accumulates the instrument total flow, much like the odometer on an automobile.
ST80/ST80L Flow Meter OPERATION Configuring for AST™ or Constant Power Measurement Methods The default factory sensor heater configuration is AST™ (Adaptive Sensing Technology) in which the instrument automatically transitions between constant Delta T operation (heater power to maintain Delta T proportional to flow) and constant power operation (constant heater power and sensor Delta T proportional to flow) to measure the flow rate.
OPERATION ST80/ST80L Flow Meter Flow Filtering Use the configuration software to adjust flow filtering (Advanced Setup/Flow FIltering) as required for your application. Refer to the ST80/ST80L Configuration Software manual 06EN003491 for software details. The Flow Filtering setup screen is shown in Figure 38 below.

OPERATION ST80/ST80L Flow Meter Note: The NAMUR settings field in the 4-20 mA User tab will only show when the output is set for Flow or HART Flow. If Temperature output is selected the NAMUR settings will not show up. NAMUR only works on Flow outputs. In the window's NAMUR field, define the NAMUR output level by clicking either Set NAMUR @ 3.6 mA or Set NAMUR @ 21.0 mA.
The Internal Delta-R Resistor (idR) Check is a routine designed to assess the ST80/ST80L internal normalization. The normalization process fine tunes the instrument’ s ability to accurately measure resistance. Proper normalization also allows FCI electronics to be interchangeable for replacements, spares or repaired boards. If the unit’ s normalization shifts, the accuracy of the meter may be compromised.

Click Get Test Log from Device in the idRTest Logs tab to view the idR test log as shown in the example in Figure 44 below.
OPERATION ST80/ST80L Flow Meter Analog Output Response to idR Check During the idR sequence the analog outputs respond as listed below. Readings are taken with a 250 Ω load across Analog Output 1, 2 or 3. NAMUR Enabled LOW 2.325 Vdc = 23.16 sfps = baseline (example: actual flow output varies from 1-5 volts) 0.900 Vdc = idR In Progress 1.000 Vdc = momentary state 2.326 Vdc = after 3 seconds.
