Emerson Process Management 1500 manual Flow calibration values, 4.2.3How to characterize

Required Transmitter Configuration

Flow calibration values

Two separate values are used to describe flow calibration: a 6-character FCF value and a 4-character FT value. Both values contain decimal points. During characterization, these are entered as a single 10-character string that includes two decimal points. In ProLink II, this value is called the Flowcal parameter.

To obtain the required value:

•For older T-Series sensors, concatenate the FCF value and the FT value from the sensor tag, as shown below.

Flow FCF X.XXXX FT X.XX

•For newer T-Series sensors, the 10-character string is represented on the sensor tag as the FCF value. The value should be entered exactly as shown, including the decimal points. No concatenation is required.

•For all other sensors, the 10-character string is represented on the sensor tag as the Flow Cal value. The value should be entered exactly as shown, including the decimal points. No concatenation is required.

4.2.3How to characterize

To characterize the flowmeter:

1.See the menu flowchart in Figure 4-4.

2.Ensure that the correct sensor type is configured.

3.Set required parameters, as listed in Table 4-1.
