Flowmeter Startup
5.1 Overview
This chapter describes the flowmeter startup procedures, and provides basic information about
transmitter behavior.
5.2 Customer service
The Micro Motion Customer Service Department is available for assistance with flowmeter startup if
you experience problems you cannot solve on your own.
If possible, provide us with the model numbers and/or serial numbers of your Micro Motion
equipment, which will assist us in answering your questions. Phone numbers are listed on the title
page of this manual.
5.3 Startup procedures
Startup procedures include zeroing, which is required, and calibration, which may or may not be
required.
Zeroing
After the flowmeter has been fully installed, you must perform the zeroing procedure. Flowmeter
zeroing establishes flowmeter response to zero flow and sets a baseline for flow measurement.
To perform the zeroing procedure:
• Using the flowmeter zero button, see Section 5.5
• Using a HART Communicator, see Chapter 6
• Using ProLink II software, see Chapter 7
• Using AMS software, see the AMS on-line help
Calibration
Calibration accounts for performance variations in individual meters and peripheral devices. For more
information, see Section 5.6.
CAUTION
Failure to zero the flowmeter at initial startup could
cause measurement error.
Zero the flowmeter before putting the meter in operation.
