About this manual This instruction manual explains how to install, start up, configure, and troubleshoot the Micro Motion IFT9701 transmitter for use with Micro Motion Coriolis flow sensors. For more information about the sensor, see the appropriate sensor instruction manual.
The term “flowmeter” refers to an IFT9701 transmitter and a sensor installed as a flowmetering system. Flowmeter components The IFT9701 transmitter can be integrally mounted to a Micro Motion F-Series sensor, or remotely mounted from an ELITE The IFT9701 transmitter does not operate with Micro Motion T-Series, R-Series, or Model D600 or DT sensors.

• The pull-up resistor must be of sufficient value to limit the total loop current to less than 500 ohms. Refer to Section 4.4.4 to determine the pull-up resistor needed. Model IFT9701 Transmitter Instruction Manual Wire length 1500 feet (450 meters)
2.0 and 3.8 mA, or between 20.5 and 22 mA. Systems that rely on milliamp output signals in the ranges listed above might not perform as expected. For IFT9701 transmitters shipped after October 1999, outputs will saturate at 3.8 and 20.5 mA, unlike previous versions of IFT9701 transmitters.
4.4.3 Communication tools connected to milliamp output ProLink II software from Micro Motion, AMS software from Emerson Process Management, or a HART Communicator can be connected to the flowmeter’s milliamp output. To connect using ProLink II, follow the instructions in the ProLink II manual. The AMS interface is similar to the ProLink II interface.
