Using ProLink II Software, page 111.
Troubleshooting
2.2 Applying power Before you apply power to the flowmeter, close and tighten all
housing covers.
WARNING
Operating the flowmeter without covers in place
creates electrical hazards that can cause death,
injury, or property damage.
Turn on the electrical power at the power supply. The flowmeter will
automatically perform diagnostic routines. When the flowmeter has
completed its power-up sequence, the display status indicator will
turn green and begin to flash (if the transmitter is equipped with a
display).
9. Select 10 KHz.
10. Read the frequency output at the receiving device or another
point on the loop. The reading should be 10 kilohertz (KHz).

2.4 Trimming the milliamp Trimming the mA output creates a common measurement range
output between the transmitter and the device that receives the mA output.
For instance, a transmitter might send a 4 mA signal that the
receiving device reports incorrectly as 3.8 mA. If the transmitter
output is trimmed correctly, it will send a signal appropriately
compensated to ensure that the receiving device actually indicates a
4 mA signal.
Using
You must trim the output at both the 4 mA and 20 mA points to
ensure appropriate compensation across the entire range of outputs.
You can trim the output with the HART Communicator or
ProLink II software.
Changing Settings
1. Press 2.
2. Select Trim Analog Out 1.

After you have completed the 20 mA trim, the procedure is complete.
Troubleshooting
2.5 Zeroing the flowmeter Zeroing the flowmeter establishes the flowmeter’s point of reference
when there is no flow.
When you zero the flowmeter, you may need to adjust the zero time
parameter. Zero time is the amount of time the transmitter takes to
determine its zero-flow reference point. The default zero time is
20 seconds.
• A long zero time may produce a more accurate zero reference but is
more likely to result in a zero failure.
• A short zero time is less likely to result in a zero failure but may
produce a less accurate zero reference.
You can zero the flowmeter with a HART Communicator, the
display, or ProLink II software.

4.6 Changing the damping A damping value is a period of time, in seconds, that helps the
values transmitter smooth out small, rapid measurement fluctuations.
• A high damping value makes the output appear to be smoother
because the output must change slowly.
• A low damping value makes the output appear to be more erratic
because the output changes more quickly.
You can change the damping values for flow, density, and
temperature.

4.7 Adjusting meter factors Meter factors allow you to modify the transmitter’s output so that it
matches an external measurement standard. For example, if you
need to fill a customer’s 500-gallon tank based on the customer’s
definition of a gallon, you can use the meter factors to make the
transmitter match the customer’s gallon definition.
You can adjust meter factors for mass flow, volume flow, and
density.
• If you adjust the mass-flow or density meter factor, the volume
meter factor defaults to 1.0000.
• If you adjust the volume-flow meter factor, the mass and density
meter factors each default to 1.0000.
• Only values from 0.8 to 1.2 may be entered.
To determine a meter factor’s value, divide the value of the external
standard by the actual output of the transmitter, as in the following
formula:
External standard
Meter factor = -----------------------------------------------------------------

Slug-flow duration The slug-flow duration is the number of seconds the transmitter
waits for a slug-flow condition (outside the slug-flow limits) to return
to normal (inside the slug-flow limits). If the transmitter detects
slug flow, it will post a slug-flow alarm and hold its last “pre-slug”
flow rate until the end of the slug-flow duration. If slugs are still
present after the slug-flow duration has expired, the transmitter
will report a flow rate of zero.
You can change the slug-flow duration with a HART Communicator
or ProLink II software.

Transmitters that communicate using HART protocol can have
polling addresses of 0–15. Zero is a special-purpose polling address
that enables the primary mA output to vary according to the PV.
When a transmitter’s HART polling address is set to any value other
than zero, the primary mA output is fixed at 4 mA.
Transmitters that communicate using Modbus protocol can have
polling addresses of 1–15, 32–47, 64–79, or 96–110.

connections, contact the Micro Motion Customer Service
Department. See Contacting customer service, page 98.
6.3 Transmitter does not If the transmitter does not appear to be communicating on the
communicate HART network, then the network wiring may be faulty. Perform the
procedures under Checking the communication loop, page 94.
6.4 Zero or calibration failure If a zero or calibration procedure fails, the transmitter will send a
status alarm indicating the cause of failure. See Status alarms,
Characterizing and
page 91, for specific remedies for status alarms indicating
calibration failure.
Calibrating
6.5 HART® output problems HART output problems include inconsistent or unexpected behavior
that does not trigger status alarms. For example, the HART
Communicator might show incorrect units of measure or respond
sluggishly. If you experience HART output problems, verify that the
transmitter configuration is correct.
If you discover that the configuration is incorrect, change the
necessary transmitter settings. See Changing the Transmitter
Troubleshooting
If you confirm that all the settings are correct, but the unexpected
outputs prevail, then the transmitter or sensor could require service.
See Contacting customer service, page 98.
6.6 Analog output problems If you are experiencing problems with the analog outputs (frequency
or mA), use Table 6-1 to identify an appropriate remedy.
Fault conditions If the analog outputs indicate a fault condition (by reporting a fault
output), determine the exact nature of the fault by checking the
status alarms with a HART Communicator, the display, or ProLink
II software. Once you have identified the status alarm(s) associated
with the fault condition, refer to Status alarms.

6.8 Diagnosing wiring Use the procedures under the following headings to check the
problems transmitter installation for wiring problems.
WARNING
Removing the wiring compartment covers in
explosive atmospheres while the power is on can
cause an explosion.
Checking the core To check the core processor-to-transmitter wiring, verify that:
processor-to-transmitter • The transmitter is connected to the core processor according to the
wiring wiring information beginning on page 1.
• The wires are making good contact with the terminals.
Checking the To check the communication loop, verify that the loop wires are
communication loop connected as shown in the wiring diagrams on pages 9–11.
If your HART network is more complex than the wiring diagrams on
pages 9–11, either:
• Contact the Micro Motion Customer Service Department. See
page 98.
• Contact the HART Communication Foundation or refer to the
HART Application Guide, available from the HART
Communication Foundation on the Internet at:
http://www.hartcomm.org
6.9 Checking the receiving If you receive an inaccurate frequency or mA reading, you might be
device using a faulty receiving device. Use a different receiving device to
confirm that the mA or frequency reading you are receiving is
accurate. Another receiving device will help you determine if the
problem exists in the receiving device or in the transmitter.
6.10 Setting the HART® polling If the HART polling address is set to a nonzero number, or if the
Starting
address to zero transmitter is in burst mode, the mA output is fixed at 4 mA. If the
polling address is changed to zero and the transmitter is not in burst
mode, the mA output will report the primary variable on a 4–20 mA
scale. See Changing the polling address, page 72 and Enabling and
disabling burst mode, page 70.
6.11 Checking the upper and A saturated mA output or incorrect mA measurement could indicate
lower range values a faulty URV or LRV. Verify that the URV and LRV are correct and
change them if necessary. See Changing the upper range value and
Changing the lower range value, page 61.
Using
6.12 Checking the frequency A saturated frequency output or an incorrect frequency
output scale and method measurement could indicate a faulty frequency output scale and/or
method. Verify that the frequency output scale and method are
correct and change them if necessary. See Changing the output
scale, page 63.
Changing Settings
6.13 Checking the A flowmeter that is incorrectly characterized for its sensor might
characterization produce inaccurate output values. If the flowmeter appears to be
operating correctly but sends inaccurate output values, then an
incorrect characterization could be the cause.

5. Press F4 “EXIT.”
If you discover that any of the characterization data are wrong, then
perform a complete characterization. See How to characterize,
page 76.
Troubleshooting
6.14 Checking the calibration Improper calibration can cause the transmitter to send unexpected
output values. If the transmitter appears to be operating correctly
but sends inaccurate output values, then an improper calibration
may be the cause.
Micro Motion calibrates every transmitter at the factory. Therefore,
you should only suspect improper calibration if the transmitter has
been calibrated after it was shipped from the factory.
The calibration procedures in this manual are designed for
calibration to a regulatory standard. See Calibrating the flowmeter,
page 78. To calibrate for true accuracy, always use a measurement
source that is more accurate than the flowmeter. Contact the Micro
Motion Customer Service Department for assistance. See Contacting
customer service, page 98.
6.15 Checking the test points Some status alarms that indicate a sensor failure or overrange
condition can be caused by problems other than a failed sensor. You
can diagnose sensor failure or overrange status alarms by checking
the flowmeter test points. The test points include left and right
pickoff voltages, drive gain, and tube frequency.
Obtaining the test points You can obtain the test points with a HART Communicator or
ProLink II software.
Evaluating the test points Use the following guidelines to evaluate the test points:
• If the drive gain is unstable, refer to Excessive drive gain.
• If the value for the left or right pickoff does not equal the
appropriate value from Table 6-3, based on the sensor flow tube
frequency, refer to Bad pickoff voltage.
• If the values for the left and right pickoffs equal the appropriate
values from Table 6-3, based on the sensor flow tube frequency,

C.2 Connecting to a personal You can connect a personal computer (PC) directly to the
computer transmitter’s HART/Bell 202 terminals, the RS-485 terminals, the
service port, or to a point on a network. Figure C-1 identifies the
transmitter terminals to which a PC can be connected.
Note: You must use a signal converter to convert the
transmitter’s RS-485 or Bell 202 standard to the RS-232
standard used by the PC’s serial port.
