Step 7: Basic Configuration
Once the magnetic flowmeter is installed and power has been supplied, the transmitter must be configured through the basic setup. These parameters can be configured through either a local operator interface or a HART communication device. A table of all the parameters are on page 26. Descriptions of the more advanced functions are included in the comprehensive product manual.
Basic Setup
Tag
Tag is the quickest and shortest way of identifying and distinguishing between transmitters. Transmitters can be tagged according to the requirements of your application. The tag may be up to eight characters long.
Flow Rate Units
The flow rate units variable specifies the format in which the flow rate will be displayed. Units should be selected to meet your particular metering needs.
Line Size
The line size (sensor size) must be set to match the actual sensor connected to the transmitter. The size must be specified in inches.
URV (Upper Range Value)
The upper range value (URV) sets the 20 mA point for the analog output. This value is typically set to
LRV (Lower Range Value)
The lower range value (LRV) sets the 4 mA point for the analog output. This value is typically set to zero flow. The units that appear will be the same as those selected under the units parameter. The LRV may be set between
Calibration Number
The sensor calibration number is a
