Chapter 1. Installation Chapter 1. Installation 1.1 Introduction To ensure safe and reliable operation of the XMT1000, it must be installed in accordance with the established guidelines. Those guidelines, explained in detail in this chapter, include the following topics: • Unpacking the XMT1000 •...
Before removing the XMT1000 from its box, please inspect both the box and the instrument carefully. Each instrument manufactured by GE is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Before discarding any of the packing materials, account for all components and documentation listed on the packing slip. The discarding of an important item along with the packing materials is all too common.
Because the relative location of the flowcell and the XMT1000 transmitter is important, use the guidelines in this section to plan the XMT1000 installation. For flowcell clearance recommendations, consult the manual for your specific flow meter system or contact GE for assistance. Access to the XMT1000 flow transmitter should be uninhibited, as defined by the minimum clearance distances around the enclosure specified in Figure 3 on page 4.
Chapter 1. Installation 1.4.1 Access to the Meter (cont.) 12 in. (300 mm) CLEARANCE MINIMUM RECOMMENDED FOR SERVICE ACCESS 12 in. (300 mm) CLEARANCE 12 in. (300 mm) CLEARANCE MINIMUM RECOMMENDED MINIMUM RECOMMENDED FOR CABLE ENTRY FOR CABLE ENTRY 1000 SERIES ELECTRONICS 12 in.
Chapter 1. Installation 1.4.4 Local Mounting The XMT1000 accuracy is affected by the flowcell location in the process piping and on the orientation of the transducers. Thus, in addition to accessibility for maintenance, adhere to the following installation guidelines: • Locate the flowcell so that there are at least 10 pipe diameters of straight, undisturbed flow upstream and 5 pipe diameters of straight, undisturbed flow downstream from the measurement point (see Figure 4 below).
Chapter 1. Installation 1.4.5 Remote Mounting The standard XMT1000 enclosure is a powder-coated, aluminum, IP67 explosion-proof enclosure. Typically, the enclosure is mounted as close as possible to the transducers. When choosing a site for a remote-mount installation, which is recommended for process temperatures exceeding 150°C, make sure the location permits easy access to the enclosure for programming, maintenance and service.
Chapter 1. Installation 1.5 Making the Electrical Connections This section contains instructions for making all the necessary electrical connections for the XMT1000 flow transmitter. Refer to Figure 6 on page 8 for a complete wiring diagram. Note: Both flying lead and MCX transducer connectors are shown in the figure for completeness. Only the type of connector appropriate for each meter ordered will be installed on the PCB.
Chapter 1. Installation 1.5.1 Wiring the Analog Outputs The standard configuration of the XMT1000 flow transmitter includes one isolated 4-20 mA analog output. Connections to this output may be made with standard twisted-pair wiring, but the current loop impedance for this circuit must not exceed 600 ohms.
Chapter 1. Installation 1.5.2 Wiring the Digital Output The standard XMT1000 flow transmitter configuration includes one isolated digital output, which can be used as a totalizer (pulse) output, a frequency output, or a calibration port. Wiring this output requires completion of the following general steps: 1.
Chapter 1. Installation 1.5.3 Wiring the Modbus/Service Port The XMT1000 flow transmitter is equipped with a Modbus communication port for either a connection to Vitality (PC software) or to a separate control system. The port is an RS485 interface. IMPORTANT: The maximum cable length for an RS485 connection is 4000 ft (1200 m). To wire to this RS485 serial port, refer to Figure 6 on page 8 and complete the following steps: 1.
Chapter 1. Installation 1.5.4 Wiring the Line Power The XMT1000 may be ordered for operation with power inputs of either 100-240 VAC or 12-28 VDC. The label on the side of the enclosure lists the meter’s required line voltage and power rating. Be sure to connect the meter to the specified line voltage only.
Chapter 2. Programming Chapter 2. Programming 2.1 Introduction This chapter provides instructions for programming the various features of the XMT1000 flow transmitter. Before the XMT1000 can begin taking measurements, settings for the User Preferences and Inputs/Outputs must be entered and tested.
Chapter 2. Programming Using the Magnetic Keypad (cont.) Above the display, the blue light is for power indication and the red light is for system health indication. Once system power is applied, the blue light stays on until power is lost. The red light blinks when the system is in error. When the red light is off - the system is operating without error.
Chapter 2. Programming 2.4 Glossary of Terms • Backlight: The LCD display backlight has three user-adjustable parameters. The brightness, the contrast, and the length of inactivity which triggers automatic shutdown can be individually set within available limits. • Error Handling: The manner in which various XMT1000 outputs respond to automatically generated system errors can be set by the user by selecting the options from a drop-down list.

E28: Software Fault There is a software malfunction This is a software malfunction. Try power cycling the meter. If the error persists after power cycle, contact GE factory. E29: Velocity Warning The measured velocity exceeds This error may be caused by incorrect programming, poor programmed warning limits.
Usually, flowcell problems are either fluid problems or pipe problems. Read the following sections carefully to determine if the problem is indeed related to the flowcell. If the instructions in this section fail to resolve the problem, contact GE for assistance. 3.2.2a Fluid Problems Most fluid-related problems result from a failure to observe the flow meter system installation instructions.
Page 40
Inaccurate pipe measurements. The accuracy of the flow rate measurements is no better than the accuracy of the programmed pipe dimensions. For a flowcell supplied by GE, the correct data will be included in the documentation. For other flowcells, measure the pipe wall thickness and diameter with the same accuracy desired in the flow rate readings.
3.2.3 Transducer/Buffer Problems Ultrasonic transducers are rugged, reliable devices. However, they are subject to physical damage from mishandling and chemical attack. The following list of potential problems is grouped according to transducer type. Contact GE if you cannot solve a transducer-related problem.

Appendix D. Foundation Fieldbus Communication D.10 Error Handling (cont.) Whenever the meter is in measurement error, the quality bit for the published parameter shows bad quality (see Figure 33 below). To change the quality bit to good, the measurement error at the meter must be removed. Notice the QUALITY.STATUS field shows as Bad and the SUBSTATUS field shows as Sensor Failure .
