  • Page 6: Mft 4000 Overview

    MFT 4000 SERIES OVERVIEW The MFT 4000 Multi-Function Tester (MFT) is a modular calibrator with three sensor bays accommodating up to three independent pressure, temperature or special function modules. The base MFT incorporates a voltage and current meter, several keys for user interface and will display up to four measurements simultaneously.

  • Page 7: Dual Function Keys

    Measure Mode Pressing the Measure Mode button will instantly return the unit to measure mode from any menu or sub-menu. Measure will appear on the upper left of the display. Display Contrast This key allows the user to adjust the contrast of the LCD display for user conditions or preferences. Pressing and holding this key will cycle through all available contrast settings.

  • Page 8: Soft Keys

    Units mA / V Toggles between voltage, current (mA), and off display for the integral voltage and current meter. This measurement is designated by “V/I” on the display. Calibrate Active only with MFT 4010 This key enters the MFT into calibration mode for HART device calibrations. Soft Keys SOFT KEYS (unlabled) The four white keys located below the display are soft keys.
  • Page 9 When using any character grid, pressing Row or Col and releasing the respective soft key moves the flashing cursor one character across or down the gird. Pressing and holding the Row or Col key causes the cursor to advance down or across, respectively, at a regular rate. Releasing the key when the cursor is under the desired character stops the cursor movement and allows the selection of the character using the Select key.

  • Page 10: Measure Mode

    MEASURE MODE After the MFT performs its power up diagnostics and displays the model number and sensor data, it defaults to the Measure Mode. The word Measure appears on the upper left of the display, confirming this mode is active. The soft key definitions in this mode are directed toward measurement and information functions. Header-line Symbol Key (see location at right) Hart heart symbol indicates active HART communication...

  • Page 11: Zero

    Zero Mn/Max Damp More Zero Pressing the soft key corresponding to Zero will zero the installed sensor modules and integral mA/Volts meter. The LCD will display “Zero in Progress” as this function is carried out. The sensors should be zeroed prior to making measurements to provide an accurate zero reference. Make sure that no physical signal is applied to the MFT when performing this function.

  • Page 12: Rcal

    Rcal Pressing the Rcal key enters the MFT into the Field Recalibration mode. This allows the unit’s sensors and modules to be recalibrated in the field to maintain optimal accuracy. See section on Field Recalibration for details. SETTINGS Press the Settings key to set the preferences on the MFT for lockout options, damp rates, auto shutoff time, or clock edit.

  • Page 13: Lockout Code

    To enable the lockout option, select Enabled by scrolling Down and press Select. The screen will switch back to the original Settings screen that now shows the lockout status as Enabled. Select Lockout again, scroll Down to View Details, and press Select. This screen allows the user to choose which parameters to lockout.

  • Page 14: Off Timer

    The damp rate can be set between 0.5 and 30 seconds. Once set, the damp rate feature can be activated or deactivated from the Measure Mode by pressing the Damp soft key. Factory default for the damp rate is 0.5 seconds.

  • Page 15: General Operation

    GENERAL OPERATION Sensor Installation/Removal To install a new sensor module into a sensor bay, make sure the spring-loaded sensor lock is facing toward the rear of the MFT.

    of the sensor’s full scale range, the affected pressure measurement is replaced by an “Overrange” warning. If this occurs, immediately release the pressure until the MFT displays a normal reading. Although pressures are displayed up to 20% over full scale range, specified accuracy is guaranteed for full scale range only. xGI (Gauge Isolated) and xAI (Absolute Isolated) Modules are capable of withstanding up to 2x the sensor range without sustaining damage.

    source is recommended to ensure the accuracy of your measurements and calibration. Differential Pressure Calibration Differential pressure gauges and transmitters can be calibrated using xDN or xGI sensor modules. The following drawing depicts a typical calibration set-up. The units under test should be isolated from the process and drained of liquids if necessary.

  • Page 19: Additional Dp Application Information

    Additional DP Application Information In addition to reading gauge pressures, the MFT can also be used to measure the pressure drop across a device in a pressurized pipe. Examples include measuring the differential pressure across positive displacement meters, filters, orifice plates or valves. Process compatibility and pressure ranges of the sensor modules need to be considered for each application.

  • Page 20: Electrical Connections

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS – See Hazardous Area Use Section of this manual for Intrinsically Safe guidelines / restrictions MILLIAMP TRANSMITTER The diagram below depicts the proper connection for measuring the current output from a transmitter. The MFT is connected in series with the loop using standard banana jacks. Important: Use the transmitter’s working terminals to measure mA, not the TEST terminals found on some transmitters.

  • Page 21: Voltage Transducers

    VOLTAGE TRANSDUCER The following diagram depicts the correct set-up for transducer calibrations. FIELD RECALIBRATION The sensor modules and mA/V meter can be recalibrated in the field for zero, span, and linearity.

  • Page 27: Hart Commands

    HART Commands Three HART command types are used by the MFT 4010 to communicate with HART field devices. First, Universal Commands are primarily used to identify a field device by its model number and tag number and to read process data from the device. This communication is often referred to as “polling”. The MFT 4010 can poll any Hart Device.

  • Page 28: Hart Communications

    When connecting the MFT 4010 to a loop with a resistive load greater than 250 ohms, the HART jacks may be connected across the loop + and – or to the HART device terminals. Refer to the following diagram for connecting across the loop + and -. Notice the 250 ohm adapter is not needed here.

  • Page 29: Multidrop Polling

    Multidrop Polling When multidrop polling is selected the MFT will search for the remaining 15 address locations. Each address poll requires up to 4 seconds to complete. If you wish to discontinue the multidrop polling process, press either the Stop or Abort soft key options and the MFT will enter the Hart Offline screen.

    TIO0110 Module Quick Instructions For Thermocouple and milli-Volt Measurement and Simulation Safety Notice: Intrinsically Safe TIO0110 modules require the MFT 40X2 or 40X3 Intrinsically Safe base MFT units. The TIO module must be installed or removed in a safe area. T/C connectors must be connected to the TIO0110 module in a non-hazardous area.

When Start is selected with the Select soft key, a numeric entry screen appears to facilitate the entry of the desired simulation temperature value (or mV value). Once the value has been entered, the MFT will use the previously selected conversion standard to determine the corresponding mV value and output that value through the TIO mini-t/c connector.

    VMA0055 Module Quick Instructions For mA / V measurement, Xmitter Simulation, mA Source and V Source Notices: 1) The VMA 0055 module is not hot-swappable. To install the module, turn the MFT base unit OFF, install the VMA 0055 in any bay and turn the MFT back ON. Attempting to install the VMA module with MFT power ON will cause the MFT to shut down.
