  • Page 14 Also customer specified settings are downloaded to the SENSORPROM® unit. For communication purposes the ASIC has a CAN interface with a Siemens specific protocol. This concept is known as the USM II (Universal Signal Module) concept. The idea is that extra output modules or communication modules can be connected to this bus, making it possible to configure the flow meter for the precise task in hand.

  • Page 18: Determining A Location

    ● Use the meter as support of external loads like pipes etc. ● Change the meter in any way like e.g. decomposition of material in connection with processing, welding and use of accessories and spare parts not approved by Siemens Flow Instruments.
  • Page 19: Sensor Orientation

    The sensor must always be completely filled with fluid in order to measure accurately. Installation orientation The Sitrans F C MC2 operates in all orientations, but the optimal sensor orientation is a vertical installation with an upward flow. This has the advantage that air and gas bubbles will move upward out of the meter tube.
  • Page 20 Installation in a dropline is only possible if a pipeline reduction (A) or orifice (B) with a smaller cross-section can be installed to prevent the sensor from being partially drained during the measurements. SITRANS F C MC2 Operating Instructions, 10/2009, A5E02154544-02...
  • Page 21: Vibrations And Crosstalk

    Mount the sensors on different steelframes, keep distance between the sensors, or decouple the pipelines, if operating more than one meter in one or multiple interconnected pipelines. This will prevent cross talk. SITRANS F C MC2 Operating Instructions, 10/2009, A5E02154544-02...

    The liquid must be homogeneous in order to measure with high accuracy. If the liquid contains solid particles of greater density than the liquid, then these solids can precipitate, especially at low flow rates, which will cause instability in the sensor and lead to measurement errors.

    So using this formula, one can assess if the application can be used as–is, or whether to use more time improving the installation. SITRANS F C MC2 Operating Instructions, 10/2009, A5E02154544-02...
  • Page 35 So for this installation with the given flow rate and zero point error (ZERO SIGMA value), you should typically choose not to spend more time finding ways to improve the application. SITRANS F C MC2 Operating Instructions, 10/2009, A5E02154544-02...
  • Page 36: Step 4: Improving The Application

    1. Check whether there are vibrations. Turn off the pump and check whether the zero point stability improves, i.e. if the flow rate fluctuation in kg/h is reduced. SITRANS F C MC2 Operating Instructions, 10/2009, A5E02154544-02...
  • Page 37 Otherwise they can cause relatively large measurement errors. It is important that the sensor is installed such that solid particles can easily run out of the sensor. SITRANS F C MC2 Operating Instructions, 10/2009, A5E02154544-02...
