9. ACTUAL OPERATION

9.ACTUAL OPERATION

After you have installed the flowtube into the process piping, wired the input/output terminals, set up the required parameters, and performed a pre-operation zero adjustment, the magnetic flowmeter should output an accurate flow signal from its terminals as soon as flow of the fluid to be measured begins. This section describes zero adjustment and the corresponding procedures.

9.1Pre-operation Zero Adjustment

Zero adjustment is carried out to ensure that the output for zero flow is 0% (i.e., 4 mA). Although adjustment to zero is performed at the manufacturing plant prior to shipment, this procedure must be carried out once again following the installation of piping in order to match the magnetic flowmeter to its operating condi- tions.

This section describes the zero adjustment procedure using display unit switches from the converter and using the external status input; accordingly, one of these methods should be selected and implemented.

IMPORTANT

•Zero adjustment should be carried out before actual operation. Note that setting and update functions cannot be carried out during this procedure (i.e., for approximately 30 seconds).

•Zero adjustment should only be carried out when the flowtube has been filled with fluid and the fluid velocity is completely zero by closing the valve.

•Each time that the fluid being measured is changed, it will be necessary for zero adjust- ment to be carried out for the new fluid.
