14.4 Configuring custody transfer (NTEP)
To configure custody transfer (NTEP):
1. Referring to Figure 14-1, set
World Area to NTEP.
2. Ensure that the Series 3000 system, including the discrete batch application, is completely
configured and tested. Verify that the discrete batch flow source has been set to the process
variable to be used for custody transfer measurement (the transfer variable). Only the
following process variables are valid:
- Mass flow
- Volume flow (liquid)
- Gas standard volume flow
- Frequency input
3. If you are using a Model 3500 or Model 3700 transmitter, perform a sensor zero. See
Section 16.3.
4. Referring to Section 13.3, use the Digital Communication menu and set
Protocol to Printer.
5. Select
Configure Printer and configure printer communications (see Section 13.3.2).
6. Configure ticket format and ticket printing as described in Section 15.5.
7. Set the security switch on your Series 3000 device. The security switch is a hardware switch.
Security does not take effect until the security switch is ON. Detailed instructions for the
different Series 3000 devices are provided in Section 14.6.
8. Contact an authorized agent for installation of the Weights and Measures seal. Detailed
instructions for the different Series 3000 devices are provided in Section 14.7.
