CAUTION

• The lining of sanitary type uses fluorocarbon

PFA. For the property of fluorocarbon PFA, it is
possible that the adapter mounting screws may
loosen as time passes, so retighten them
regularly.
• Be sure to retighten the adapter mounting
screws according to the prescribed torque
values in Table 5.3.1 or Table 5.3.2. Retighten
them diagonally with the same torque values,
step by step up to the prescribed torque value.
• In case of leakage from adapter connection
point, retighten the adapter mounting screws. If
leakage doesn’t stop even if they are retight-
ened, replace the gasket between mini-flange
of flowmeter and adapter.
• It is recommended to replace the gasket
periodically,
• It is necessary to decide the period between
changes with consideration for the frequency of
cleaning cycles, the cleaning temperature and
the fluid temperature.

The burnout function sets the direction of current
output in situations where the CPU has become
damaged. Upon shipment from the manufacturing
plant, the burnout direction is set to High (i.e., 25 mA);
however, in cases where the optional code C1 has been
specified, the output direction will be set to Low (i.e.,
0 mA).
By setting the write protect function to “Protect” it is
possible to prevent the overwriting of parameters.
Write protection can be carried out using either the
hardware switch on the CPU board (i.e., Switch 2) (See
Figure 5.5.1) or software parameter settings. If either
of these items is set to “Protect,” the overwriting of
parameters will be prohibited.

NOTE
• If the hardware switch is set to “Protect,” it will
not be possible to overwrite parameters;
furthermore, this condition will be maintained
until the switch is set to “Enable.”
• In the case of Fieldbus communication type,
setting of the hardware switch (Enable or
Protect) is ineffective and write protection can
be carried out only by software parameter
settings.
For more details regarding usage of the write protect
function and the software’s parameter switches, refer
to “Parameter Description” in the user’s manual of
the AXF Integral Flowmeter [Software Edition]

Check that there is continuity between terminals EX1
and EX2 in the terminal box. If there is no continuity,
the coils may be broken and replacement or repair of
the flowtube is necessary. The coil resistance is
designed to be 150  or less. If it is not, this may be
an abnormal condition. Consult Yokogawa’s sales or
service offices.
(2) Insulation Resistance Check (Remote
Flowtube Only)
Check the insulation resistances in the terminal box in
accordance with the tables below. If any of them falls
below the values listed in the tables, consult
Yokogawa’s sales or service offices for investigation.
If the insulation resistance cannot be restored, replace-
ment or repair of the flowtube is needed. In case of
submersible type flowmeters, undo the wiring connec-
tion on the converter side and measure resistance at the
cable terminals.

8.7.9 Setting "Burn-out" mode

The flowmeter is equipped with a CPU error burn-out function used to set the analog output direction upon
CPU error. When factory-shipment the output of CPU error burn-out is set to HIGH. The setting of the
direction of analog output from burn-out can be changed.
To change the direction of output arising from burn-out, switch the jumper J2 on the CPU Board (see figure
below).

8.8 Detection of metering tube failure

The ROTAMASS RCCx34 ... 39/XR was tested and FM- approved according to ANSI/ISA – 12.27.01 – 2003
for Canadian Dual Seal Approval. For units with option /DS this is stated on the name plate.

NOTE
If Rotamass flowmeter is not used in Canada this functionality can also be used without Dual Seal approval.

The primary seal (metering tube) and the secondary seal withstand the maximum test pressures forced for
the maximum flange pressure of 12.41 MPas / 1800 psi (Flange A4, ASME 900). However the enclosure do
not withstand this pressure. For details see GS 01R04B04-00E-E.

When the metering tube fails, the detector enclosure is filled with process medium and the density reading
of ROTAMASS increases rapidly. This can be used for detecting a primary seal failure by the following an-
nunciation methods:

A) Via too high density reading, preferable with liquid application

- Set “Basic setup / Density / Density URV about 0.3 kg/l above the highest possible process density.
- Set an output (current or frequency) to density transmission.
- If the URV is reached (e.g. 20 mA ) the primary seal failed.
- Set Status output to Density alm 1 and status output will be active in case of tube failure.

B) Via Status output and “Empty pipe detection”

Only for liquid (only possible with software version 1.7 or higher):
- Check parameter "Basic Setup / Density / Density URV" (Default value is 1.5 kg/l).
URV should be about 0.3 kg/l higher than any density the process can provide.
- Set parameter "Detailed Setup / Empty pipe detect / Empty pipe alm sel / Apply".
- Set parameter "Detailed Setup / Empty pipe detect / Empty pipe crit / ..." to a value
which is a little bit higher than Density URV.
- For detection with e.g. status output 1:
Set "Detailed Setup / Config Output/Input / Pulse/Status out 1 / Pulse/Stat 1 select / Status out".
Set "Detailed Setup / Config Output/Input / Pulse/Status out 1 / SO1 function / Empty alarm"
- When the metering tube fails, the detector housing is filled with the process medium and the density
increases. Alarm A15 "Empty pipe detection" appears, display is blinking and the status output is set
active.

C) Via rupture disk (option /RD), preferable with gas application

- When the metering tube fails, the installed rupture disk bursts at about 20 bar (290 psi).
- For gas application the result will be a whistle by the gas blowing out.
- Rupture disk is only for annunciation.�

WARNING
If rupture disk bursts, the hazardous process medium is pressed out of the detector housing to the
environment. Take care that no worker gets contact to the medium.

8. Maintenance
8.1 Overview
WARNING
Since the accumulated process fluid may be
toxic or otherwise harmful, take appropriate care
to avoid contact with the body or inhalation of
vapors when draining condensate or venting gas
from the transmitter pressure-detector section
and even after dismounting the instrument from
the process line for maintenance.
Maintenance of the transmitter is easy due to its
modular construction. This chapter describes the
procedures for calibration, adjustment, and the
disassembly and reassembly procedures required
for component replacement.
Transmitters are precision instruments. Please
carefully and thoroughly read the following sections
for information on how to properly handle them
while performing maintenance.
IMPORTANT
• As a rule, maintenance of this transmitter
should be done in a shop that has all the
necessary tools.
• The CPU assembly contains sensitive parts
that can be damaged by static electricity.
Take precautions such as using a grounded
wrist strap when handling electronic parts or
touching the board circuit patterns. Also be
sure to place the removed CPU assembly
into a bag with an antistatic coating.
8.2 Calibration Instruments
Selection
Table 8.1 lists the instruments that can be used
to calibrate a transmitter. When selecting an
instrument, consider the required accuracy level.
Exercise care when handling these instruments to
ensure they maintain the specified accuracy.
<8. Maintenance> 8-1
8.3 Calibration
Use the procedure below to check instrument
operation and accuracy during periodic
maintenance or troubleshooting.
1) Connect the instruments as shown in figure 8.1
and warm up the instruments for at least ten
minutes.
IMPORTANT
• To adjust the transmitter for highest
accuracy, make adjustments with the
power supply voltage and load resistance
including leadwire resistances set close to
the conditions under which the transmitter is
installed.
• If the measurement range 0% point is
0 kPa or shifted in the positive direction
(suppressed zero), the reference pressure
should be applied as shown in the figure.
If the measurement range 0% point is shifted
in the negative direction (elevated zero), the
reference pressure should be applied using
a vacuum pump.
2) Apply reference pressures of 0%, 50%,
and 100% of the measurement range to the
transmitter. Calculate the errors (differences
between digital voltmeter readings and
reference pressures) as the pressure is
increased from 0% to 100% and is decreased
from 100% to 0%, and confirm that the errors
are within the required accuracy.

5) Replace the cover.
8.4.3 Cleaning and Replacing the Capsule
Assembly
This subsection describes the procedures for
cleaning and replacing the capsule assembly. (See
figure 8.4.)
CAUTION
Cautions for Flameproof Type Transmitters
Users are prohibited by law from modifying the
construction of a flameproof type transmitter. If
you wish to replace the capsule assembly with
one of a different measurement range, contact
Yokogawa.
The user is permitted, however, to replace a
capsule assembly with another of the same
measurement range. When doing so, be sure to
observe the following.
• The replacement capsule assembly must
have the same part number as the one being
replaced.
• The section connecting the transmitter and
capsule assembly is a critical element in
preservation of flameproof performance, and
must be checked to verify that it is free of
dents, scratches, and other defects.
• After completing maintenance, be sure to
securely tighten the setscrews that fasten the
transmitter section and pressure-detector
section together.

8. Maintenance
8.1 Overview
WARNING
Since the accumulated process fluid may be
toxic or otherwise harmful, take appropriate care
to avoid contact with the body or inhalation of
vapors when draining condensate or venting gas
from the transmitter pressure-detector section
and even after dismounting the instrument from
the process line for maintenance.
Maintenance of the transmitter is easy due to its
modular construction. This chapter describes the
procedures for calibration, adjustment, and the
disassembly and reassembly procedures required
for component replacement.
Transmitters are precision instruments. Please
carefully and thoroughly read the following sections
for information on how to properly handle them
while performing maintenance.
IMPORTANT
• As a rule, maintenance of this transmitter
should be done in a shop that has all the
necessary tools.
• The CPU assembly contains sensitive parts
that can be damaged by static electricity.
Take precautions such as using a grounded
wrist strap when handling electronic parts or
touching the board circuit patterns. Also be
sure to place the removed CPU assembly
into a bag with an antistatic coating.
8.2 Calibration Instruments
Selection
Table 8.1 lists the instruments that can be used
to calibrate a transmitter. When selecting an
instrument, consider the required accuracy level.
Exercise care when handling these instruments to
ensure they maintain the specified accuracy.
<8. Maintenance> 8-1
8.3 Calibration
Use the procedure below to check instrument
operation and accuracy during periodic
maintenance or troubleshooting.
1) Connect the instruments as shown in figure 8.1
and warm up the instruments for at least five
minutes (ten minutes for EJ310.)
IMPORTANT
• To adjust the transmitter for highest
accuracy, make adjustments with the
power supply voltage and load resistance
including leadwire resistances set close to
the conditions under which the transmitter is
installed.
• If the measurement range 0% point is
0 kPa or shifted in the positive direction
(suppressed zero), the reference pressure
should be applied as shown in the figure.
If the measurement range 0% point is shifted
in the negative direction (elevated zero), the
reference pressure should be applied using
a vacuum pump.
2) Apply reference pressures of 0%, 50%,
and 100% of the measurement range to the
transmitter. Calculate the errors (differences
between digital voltmeter readings and
reference pressures) as the pressure is
increased from 0% to 100% and is decreased
from 100% to 0%, and confirm that the errors
are within the required accuracy.

8.4.3 Cleaning and Replacing the Capsule
Assembly
This subsection describes the procedures for
cleaning and replacing the capsule assembly. (See
figure 8.4.)
CAUTION
Cautions for Flameproof Type Transmitters
Users are prohibited by law from modifying the
construction of a flameproof type transmitter. If
you wish to replace the capsule assembly with
one of a different measurement range, contact
Yokogawa.
The user is permitted, however, to replace a
capsule assembly with another of the same
measurement range. When doing so, be sure to
observe the following.
• The replacement capsule assembly must
have the same part number as the one being
replaced.
• The section connecting the transmitter and
capsule assembly is a critical element in
preservation of flameproof performance, and
must be checked to verify that it is free of
dents, scratches, and other defects.
• After completing maintenance, be sure to
securely tighten the setscrews that fasten
the transmitter section and pressure-detector
section together.

8. Maintenance
8.1 Overview
WARNING
Since the accumulated process fluid may be
toxic or otherwise harmful, take appropriate care
to avoid contact with the body or inhalation of
vapors when draining condensate or venting gas
from the transmitter pressure-detector section
and even after dismounting the instrument from
the process line for maintenance.
Maintenance of the transmitter is easy due to its
modular construction. This chapter describes the
procedures for calibration, adjustment, and the
disassembly and reassembly procedures required
for component replacement.
Transmitters are precision instruments. Please
carefully and thoroughly read the following sections
for information on how to properly handle them
while performing maintenance.
IMPORTANT
• As a rule, maintenance of this transmitter
should be done in a shop that has all the
necessary tools.
• The CPU assembly contains sensitive parts
that can be damaged by static electricity.
Take precautions such as using a grounded
wrist strap when handling electronic parts or
touching the board circuit patterns. Also be
sure to place the removed CPU assembly
into a bag with an antistatic coating.
8.2 Calibration Instruments
Selection
Table 8.1 lists the instruments that can be used
to calibrate a transmitter. When selecting an
instrument, consider the required accuracy level.
Exercise care when handling these instruments to
ensure they maintain the specified accuracy.
<8. Maintenance> 8-1
8.3 Calibration
Use the procedure below to check instrument
operation and accuracy during periodic
maintenance or troubleshooting.
1) Connect the instruments as shown in figure 8.1
and warm up the instruments for at least five
minutes.
IMPORTANT
• To adjust the transmitter for highest
accuracy, make adjustments with the
power supply voltage and load resistance
including leadwire resistances set close to
the conditions under which the transmitter is
installed.
• If the measurement range 0% point is
0 kPa or shifted in the positive direction
(suppressed zero), the reference pressure
should be applied as shown in the figure.
If the measurement range 0% point is shifted
in the negative direction (elevated zero), the
reference pressure should be applied using
a vacuum pump.
2) Apply reference pressures of 0%, 50%,
and 100% of the measurement range to the
transmitter. Calculate the errors (differences
between digital voltmeter readings and
reference pressures) as the pressure is
increased from 0% to 100% and is decreased
from 100% to 0%, and confirm that the errors
are within the required accuracy.
