Configuration with ProLink II Software
7.1Configuration overview
You may use the Micro Motion ProLink II software, installed on a personal computer, to set up the basic configuration and zero the flowmeter. See the ProLink II manual or
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
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 4.3); flow calibration may or may not be required. For information on calibration procedures using ProLink II, see Section 7.3.
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 ProLink II, see Section 7.4.
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 Configuration window, set process control devices for manual operation.
Whenever a display such as the one depicted below appears, isolate the flowmeter from devices that use flowmeter outputs for process control, then choose Yes.
