Set the HART lock If you plan to use a HART connection to configure the device, you can lock out all other HART masters. If you do this, other HART masters will be able to read data from the device but will not be able to write data to the device.

Page 34: Configure Density Cutoff
Configure process measurement If mA Output Process Variable is set to Density, and both Density Damping and Added Damping are set to non-zero values, density damping is applied first, and the added damping calculation is applied to the result of the first calculation. This value is reported over the mA output.
Page 35 Configure process measurement 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. You must enter Two-Phase Flow Low Limit in g/cm³, even if you configured another unit for density measurement.
Page 36: Configure Temperature Measurement
Configure process measurement • Line density reverts to actual process density. • The two-phase flow alert is deactivated, but remains in the active alert log until it is acknowledged.

Page 109 Integrate the meter with the control system Important If you change the HART Primary Variable (PV) or Secondary Variable (SV), the process variables assigned to the primary mA output and the secondary mA output (if applicable) are automatically changed to match. The PV cannot be changed on devices with fixed mA output assignments.
Page 110 Integrate the meter with the control system Option Description Windowed This option is used to communicate that the process variable is changing rapid- ly. Trigger Level defines a deadband around the most recently broadcast value. • If the process variable stays within this deadband, the burst message is sent at Default Update Rate.

Page 213 Using ProLink III with the transmitter Click Connect. Need help? If an error message appears: • Verify the HART address of the transmitter, or poll HART addresses 1–15. • Ensure that there is at least 1 VDC across the connection terminals. Add resistance as necessary to achieve at least 1 volt.

MID applications Figure F-1: MID label Certificate number As a result of this test and certification, the CDM can be used in an MID liquid measurement system. MID flow computer and power supply requirements Approved flow computers When using the CDM in an MID application, the CDM must use an approved flow computer, such as a FloBoss S600 (TC7379, TC7470, TC8218), or an OMNI 3000/6000 (TC7375).
Page 227 MID applications You must use MID-approved pressure and temperature transmitters for the external temperature and pressure inputs. For example, Rosemount pressure transmitter type 3051S (TC7457) and Rosemount temperature transmitter type 3144P (TC7458) are both MID-approved. In addition, you will need to program the following equations into the flow computer to calculate: •...

Page 230 MID applications Prerequisites If necessary for your installation, arrange for a site visit by a certified Weights & Measures inspector, and ensure that the inspector is present for the appropriate portions of this procedure. Ensure that the transmitter is ready to be secured, i.e., it is configured as desired and you have performed all appropriate tests and adjustments.

Page 232: Switch To Unsecured Mode
MID applications Re-install the safety spacer and end-cap. Make sure a certified Weights & Measures inspector installs the tamper-proof seal and sealing wire. The seal is placed over the bolt between the transmitter and sensor. The sealing wire with an attached MID tag plate are threaded through the cover tabs. Figure F-7: Custody transfer seal Power up the meter.
Page 233 MID applications Prerequisites Before switching to unsecured mode, ensure that you will be able to switch back to secured mode. Because switching to unsecured mode requires breaking the physical seal, switching back to secured mode may require a site visit from a certified Weights & Measures inspector and reinstallation of the physical seal.
