Sensor Calibration Verification
Displays the results of the sensor calibration verification test as either a Pass or Fail.
Coil Circuit Verification
Displays the results of the coil circuit health check as either a Pass or Fail
Electrode Circuit Verification
Optimizing the 8714i Meter Verification
Displays the results of the electrode circuit health check as either a Pass or Fail.
The 8714i Meter Verification diagnostic can be optimized by setting the test criteria to the desired levels necessary to meet the compliance requirements of the application. The following examples below will provide some guidance on how to set these levels.
Example
An effluent meter must be certified every year to comply with Environmental Protection Agency and Pollution Control Agency standards. These governmental agencies require that the meter be certified to five percent accuracy.
Since this is an effluent meter, shutting down the process may not be viable. In this instance the 8714i Meter Verification test will be performed under flowing conditions. Set the test criteria for Flowing, Full to five percent to meet the requirements of the governmental agencies.
Example
A pharmaceutical company requires
Since the 8714i Meter Verification test can be run under no flow conditions, set the test criteria for No Flow to one percent to comply with the necessary plant standards.
Example
A food and beverage company requires an annual verification of a meter on a product line. The plant standard calls for the accuracy to be three percent or better. They manufacture this product in batches, and the measurement cannot be interrupted when a batch is in process. When the batch is complete, the line goes empty.
Since there is no means of performing the 8714i Meter Verification test while there is product in the line, the test must be performed under empty pipe conditions. The test criteria for Empty Pipe should be set to three percent, and it should be noted that the electrode circuit health cannot be verified.
