Operation Mode
17.1 About this chapter
This chapter explains how to use the Series 3000 device in operation mode.
There are two different operation modes:
• The process monitor is the default operation mode unless the discrete batch application is
present. Process monitor mode is described in Section 17.4.
• Batch mode, which is the default operation mode if the discrete batch application is installed.
Batch mode is described in Chapter 18.
Both modes will operate differently if the custody transfer application is installed and security is
enabled. See Chapter 19.
To determine what applications or special options have been installed, use the applications list in the
View menu (see Section 17.5.9).
17.2 Startup and display test
At startup, the Series 3000 device automatically tests its display. During display testing, the screen
darkens for approximately five seconds. After the display test is completed:
1. The Micro Motion logo is displayed for two to three seconds.
2. An application list is displayed for two to three seconds.
3. The device enters operation mode:
• If the discrete batch application is not installed, the process monitor screen is displayed, as
shown in Figure 17-1.
• If the discrete batch application is installed, the batch process screen is displayed (see
Figure 18-1).
4. If there are any active alarms, the alarm category will be displayed in the alarm bar. To view,
acknowledge, or respond to the alarms, see Section 22.6.
17.3 Initial startup
For Series 3000 transmitters, a sensor zero may be performed at initial startup. Sensor zero establishes
flowmeter response to zero flow and sets a baseline for flow measurement.
Once the sensor zero is set, it remains part of the transmitter nonvolatile memory, and will not be
affected by a power failure, brownout, or power cycle.
See Section 16.3 for instructions on performing a sensor zero.
