Chapter 6

Configuration with a HART Communicator

6.1Configuration overview

You may use a Rosemount hand-held HART Communicator to set up the basic configuration and zero the flowmeter. The complete HART Communicator menu for the IFT9701 transmitter is provided in Appendix B; menus for specific operations are provided in this chapter.

Configuration parameters include such items as flow cutoff and damping values, flow direction, and milliamp output scaling. If requested at time of order, the meter is configured at the factory according to customer specifications. For factory-calibrated sensors, field calibration is not normally needed nor recommended. Basic configuration is described in Section 6.2.

Calibration accounts for performance variations in individual meters and peripheral devices. Calibration procedures include autozeroing and flow calibration. Zeroing is required upon initial flowmeter startup (see Section 5.3); flow calibration may or may not be required. For information on calibration procedures using a HART Communicator, see Section 6.3.

Characterization is the process of using a communication device to enter calibration factors for flow, density, and temperature directly into flowmeter memory, instead of performing field calibration procedures. Calibration factors can be found on the flowmeter serial number tag and on the certificate that is shipped with the meter. For information on characterization using a HART Communicator, see Section 6.4.

Set control devices for manual operation during flowmeter configuration.

CAUTION

Failure to set control devices for manual operation during configuration will affect flowmeter output signals.

Before using the basic setup menu, set process control devices for manual operation.

When the display depicted below appears, isolate the flowmeter from devices that use flowmeter outputs for process control, then press F4 (OK).
