Pipe run Micro Motion sensors do not require a straight run of pipe upstream or downstream.

Cable to transmitter Total length of cable from the sensor to the transmitter must not exceed 1000 feet (300 meters).

CMF300A junction box The CMF300A high-temperature sensor comes with a 32-inch (812 mm) pre-installed flexible conduit. This conduit is required for agency approval (e.g., UL, CSA, CENELEC, etc.). A factory-supplied junction box is connected to the end of this cable by the factory. The junction box provides an exterior ground to the sensor and houses the terminal strip for the flowmeter cable.

CMF400 booster amplifier The CMF400 booster amplifier must remain between –40 and 140°F (–40 to 60°C). If ambient and radiant heat will cause the CMF400 booster amplifier to fall outside these temperature limits, a remotely mounted booster amplifier assembly is necessary. Consult the factory for remote-mount booster amplifier information.

Valves After the sensor and transmitter have been fully installed, you must perform the zeroing procedure. During the zeroing procedure, flow through the sensor must be halted and the sensor tubes must be completely full of process fluid. A shutoff valve, downstream from the sensor, is recommended to halt flow during the zeroing procedure. For more information about zeroing, see page 29.

Keys for sensor locationThe sensor may be located anywhere in the process line, as long as the following conditions are met:• Before operation, you must be able to stop flow through the sensor.

(During the zeroing procedure, flow must be stopped completely, and the sensor must be full of process fluid.)

• During operation, the sensor must remain full of process fluid.• The sensor must be installed in an area that is compatible with the

classification specified on the sensor approvals tag. (See illustrations, pages 1-3.)

Flow direction Micro Motion sensors measure accurately regardless of flow direction.

Flow direction arrowThe sensor features a flow direction arrow (see illustrations, pages 1-3), but the sensor will measure flow in either direction.

If the process fluid flows in the direction opposite to the flow direction arrow, flowmeter outputs might not behave as expected unless the transmitter is configured appropriately. For more information, including configuration instructions, refer to any of the following:

Vertical pipelineIf the sensor is installed in a vertical pipeline, liquids and slurries should flow upward through the sensor. Gases may flow upward or downward.

Process fluid Typical sensor orientations are shown in the tables on the following pages:• For measuring liquids, see page 8.• For measuring gases, see page 9.• For measuring slurries, see page 10.

Keys for sensor orientationThe sensor will function properly in any orientation if the sensor flow tubes remain filled with process fluid.

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. The zeroing procedure is described in the transmitter instruction manual and in the manuals listed on page 30.

Configuration, calibration, and characterization

If the sensor and transmitter are ordered together as a Coriolis flowmeter, the factory has characterized the meter — no additional characterization is necessary. If either the sensor or transmitter is replaced, characterization is required.

You can use the transmitter to configure, calibrate, and characterize the meter. For more information, see any of the manuals listed on page 30.

The following information explains the difference between configuration, calibration, and characterization. Certain parameters might require configuration even when calibration is not necessary.

Configuration parameters include such items as flowmeter tag, measurement units, flow direction, damping values, and slug flow parameters. If requested at time of order, the meter is configured at the factory according to customer specifications.

Calibration accounts for the flowmeter’s sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature. Field calibration is optional.

Characterization is the process of entering calibration factors for flow, density, and temperature directly into transmitter memory, instead of performing field calibration procedures. Calibration factors can be found on the sensor serial number tag and on the certificate that is shipped with the sensor.

CAUTION

Failure to zero the flowmeter at initial startup could cause measurement error.

Zero the flowmeter before putting the meter in operation.

Troubleshooting at the transmitter

The tables in the preceding sections refer you to this section for instructions on troubleshooting at the transmitter. To troubleshoot at the transmitter, you might need a digital multimeter (DMM) or similar device, the transmitter display, if it has one, and one of the following:• HART Communicator• ProLink software• AMS software• Modbus master controller (RFT9739 only)• Fieldbus host controller (Model 5300 with FOUNDATION™ fieldbus only)

Checking the flow unitsCheck or change the flow units (unit of measure) configuration at the transmitter. If necessary, refer to the instruction manual (or on-line help for software) for the method you choose.• Use the Model 3500 or 3700 display• Use a HART Communicator, ProLink software, or AMS software• Use the host controller

Make sure the configured units of measure are the ones you want. Also, make sure you know what the abbreviations mean. For example, g/sec is grams per second, not gallons per second.

Checking for erratic flow rate at the transmitterBefore troubleshooting erratic flow rate, you must first determine whether it is a result of the transmitter or a connected output device. Check for an erratic flow signal at the transmitter using any of the following methods. If necessary, refer to the instruction manual (or on-line help for software) for the method you choose.• Use the transmitter display, if it has one• Use a HART Communicator, ProLink software, or AMS software• Use the host controller• Use a DMM on the transmitter’s 4-20 mA or frequency output terminals

If the flow rate or output signal is not erratic at the transmitter outputs, the problem is not with the transmitter.

Checking for faulty output wiringHaving already checked the output at the transmitter end (above), use a DMM to check the signal at the other end (the receiving end) of the output wiring. If the signal is not erratic, the problem is not with the output wiring.

Troubleshooting continued

Checking for faulty flowmeter wiringWiring problems are often incorrectly diagnosed as a faulty sensor. Examine wiring between the sensor and transmitter as follows:

1. Check the cable preparation. The flowmeter cable must be prepared correctly. The most common problem is improperly prepared drain wires. See illustration, below. The drains are clipped at the sensor end. They should not be connected to any terminals in the sensor junction box. See wiring diagrams, pages 26–28.

2. Check wire terminations. Check to be sure wires are secured tightly in the terminal blocks, and making good connections. Make sure no wires remain exposed at either end of the flowmeter cable.

3. Check ohm levels. If the cable was properly prepared and terminal connections are good, check resistance across wire pairs to determine whether the flowmeter cable is faulty. The procedure is performed first at the transmitter, then at the sensor. Follow these steps:a. Disconnect the transmitter’s power supply.b. Disconnect sensor wiring from the transmitter’s flowmeter

terminals.c. Use a DMM to measure resistance across wire pairs at the

transmitter end of the cable. See tables on page 39.• If the measured value is within the range listed in the table,

reconnect wiring and restore power to the transmitter.• If the measured resistance is outside the range listed in the table,

repeat the measurements at the sensor junction box.- If the sensor is a not a CMF400, refer to the "Nominal resistance

ranges" table on page 39.- If the sensor is a CMF400, refer to the table on page 39, and the

illustration on page 40.- If resistance values measured at the sensor are also outside the

range listed in the table, the sensor might be faulty.

Troubleshooting at the sensor The tables in the preceding sections refer you to this section for instructions on troubleshooting at the sensor. To troubleshoot at the sensor, you might need a digital multimeter (DMM) or similar device. For some procedures, you might also need the transmitter manual.

Checking flowmeter groundingThe sensor can be grounded via the piping, as long as joints in the pipeline are ground-bonded, or by means of a ground screw on the outside of the sensor junction box.• For CMF400 sensors, see illustration, below.• Transmitter grounding is described in the transmitter instruction

manual.

If the sensor is not grounded via the piping, and if national standards are not in effect, adhere to these guidelines to ground the sensor via the junction box:• Use copper wire, 14 AWG (2.5 mm2) or larger wire size.• Keep all ground leads as short as possible.• Ground leads must have less than 1 ohm impedance.• Connect ground leads directly to earth, or follow plant standards.

For hazardous area installation in Europe, use standard EN 60079-14 as a guideline if national standards are not in effect.

Checking for moisture in the sensor junction boxThe sensor junction box must be sealed to prevent a short circuit. A short would result in measurement error or flowmeter failure. The CMF400 has a junction box and a booster amplifier housing. See below.• Do not open the CMF400 booster amplifier housing while the booster

amplifier is energized. See the warning statement below.• Replace all covers and seal all openings before applying power to a

CMF400 sensor.

Open the junction box (and, for a CMF400, the booster amplifier housing) to check for moisture. If moisture is present, dry out the junction box or housing. Do not use contact cleaner. Follow these guidelines to avoid risk of condensation or excessive moisture from accumulating:• Seal all conduit openings.• Install drip legs in conduit or cable.• If possible, install wiring with the junction-box opening pointed down.• Check integrity of gaskets.• Close and fully seal all housing covers.

Checking for mounting stress on the sensorBecause each installation is unique, it is not possible to offer a definitive solution for mounting problems. However, mounting stresses can be caused by one or more of the following conditions:• The pipeline is being supported by (hung from) the sensor.• Misaligned piping was drawn together by the sensor.• An unsupported pipeline is not sturdy enough to support the sensor.

If you are unable to determine whether the process connections are being subjected to mounting stress, contact Micro Motion for additional assistance. Phone numbers are listed on page 31.

Checking for vibration and crosstalkMicro Motion sensors have been designed to minimize the effect of vibration. In very rare cases, however, vibration or crosstalk can affect flowmeter operation. Crosstalk is the transfer of resonant vibration from one sensor to another, and sometimes occurs when two like-size sensors are installed in close proximity to each other and are operating on the same fluid.

Micro Motion meters are rarely affected by vibration, so vibration or crosstalk is probably not the problem. If you are not sure whether vibration or crosstalk is affecting the sensor, contact Micro Motion for additional assistance. Phone numbers are listed on page 31.

Checking for 2-phase flowTwo-phase flow occurs when air or gas is present in a liquid process stream, or when liquid is present in a gas process stream. Two-phase flow has several causes, as described below.

Leaks. Leaks can occur at process connections, valve seals, and pump seals, resulting in air being introduced into a liquid stream. Air might also be drawn in at the system inlet. Check the system for leaks, and repair any leaks that are found.

Cavitation and flashing. Cavitation and flashing are caused by operating the system at or near the process fluid vapor pressure, resulting in pockets of air or gas being introduced into the process fluid. If the sensor is near a device that causes pressure drop, such as a control valve, locating the sensor upstream from the device can decrease the risk of flashing. Alternatively, increasing back pressure downstream from the sensor can also reduce the risk of cavitation and flashing.

Cascading. Cascading of the fluid can occur when the flow rate diminishes to the point where the sensor tube is only partially filled. Often, this occurs because fluid is flowing downward through a sensor installed in a vertical pipeline. (When a sensor is mounted this way, it is called the flag-mount orientation).

To help eliminate cascading, fluids should flow upward through a flag-mounted sensor. Mounting the sensor in the preferred orientation often reduces cascading. (See Orientation, page 7.) Increasing back pressure downstream from the sensor can also reduce or eliminate cascading.

High points in the system. When measuring liquids, entrained air (pockets of non-condensable gas) can collect in high points of a fluid system. If the fluid velocity is low, and/or the high points are very high relative to the system, entrained air pockets can grow and persist. If the air pocket releases and passes through the sensor, measurement error could occur. One possible solution is to install vent valves or air eliminators at a high point in the system, upstream from the sensor. Use your common plant practices if you choose to install vent valves or air eliminators.

Low points in the system. When measuring gases, liquid condensate can collect in low points of a fluid system. If the fluid velocity is low, and/or the low points are very low relative to the system, condensates can accumulate and persist. If the liquid passes through the sensor, measurement error could occur. One possible solution is to install condensate valves at a low point in the system, upstream from the sensor. Use your common plant practices if you choose to install condensate valves.

Checking for plugging or build-upIf the process fluid tends to build up in the piping, the sensor can become plugged or partially plugged due to build-up of material inside the sensor flow tubes. To determine whether plugging or build-up has occurred, check at the transmitter for a high drive gain and high density reading (see below).• If the drive gain and the density reading are both high, flush or clean

the sensor, then check for an accurate density reading on water (or some other fluid with a known density). If the density is still wrong, plugging of the tube is probably not the problem.

• If either the drive gain or the density reading is not high, plugging of the tube is probably not the problem.

Checking the drive gain. Contact Micro Motion to check the drive gain. Phone numbers are listed on page 31.

If the transmitter is a Model 3500 or 3700, you can use the display to view drive gain. Refer to the ALTUS Detailed Setup Manual.

C Purge Fittings

Keeping purge fittings sealed If the sensor has purge fittings, they should remain sealed at all times. After a purge plug is removed, the sensor case should be purged with a dry, inert gas (such as argon or nitrogen), and resealed. See Case purging procedure, page 66.

Purging the case protects internal components. Before Micro Motion ships a sensor from the factory, it purges the sensor case. If you never loosen or remove the fittings, you do not have to be concerned about them.

For more information, contact the Micro Motion Customer Service Department:• In the U.S.A., phone 1-800-522-MASS (1-800-522-6277)• Outside the U.S.A., phone 303-530-8400• In Europe, phone +31 (0) 318 549 443• In Asia, phone 65-770-8155

Using purge fittings The primary reason for having purge fittings is to monitor pressure inside the sensor case. Some users, such as those measuring highly volatile fluids, install a pressure transmitter across the sensor purge fittings. A control device, connected to the pressure transmitter, shuts down the process if a change in pressure is detected. This provides additional protection should a rupture occur inside the sensor.

Removing a purge plug If you remove a purge plug from the sensor case, it is necessary to re-purge the case.

Case purging procedure Read all instructions before performing the case purging procedure. It is not necessary to perform this procedure unless a purge plug has been removed.

1. Shut down the process, or set control devices for manual operation.

2. Remove both purge plugs from the sensor case. If purge lines are being used, open the valve in the purge lines.

WARNING

Removing a purge plug will require the sensor case to be re-purged with a dry inert gas. Improper pressurization could result in serious personal injury.

Follow all instructions for re-purging the sensor case. See Case purging procedure, below.

WARNING

Explosion hazard

The CMF400 has drain plugs, which look similar to purge fittings. The drain plugs must remain sealed at all times.

Do not remove or damage CMF400 drain plugs.

CMF400 drainplugs

CAUTION

Performing the purge procedure while the flowmeter is operating could affect measurement accuracy, resulting in inaccurate flow signals.

Before performing the case purging procedure, shut down the process, or set control devices for manual operation.

Page 77: ELITE Sensors

Purge Fittings continued

3. Connect the supply of dry, inert gas to the inlet purge connection or open inlet purge line. Leave the outlet connection open.• Exercise caution to avoid introducing dirt, moisture, rust, or other

contaminants into the sensor case.• If the purge gas is heavier than air (such as argon), locate the inlet

lower than the outlet, so the purge gas will displace air from bottom to top.

• If the purge gas is lighter than air (such as nitrogen), locate the inlet higher than the outlet, so the purge gas will displace air from top to bottom.

4. Make sure there is a tight seal between the inlet connection and sensor case, so air cannot be drawn by suction into the case or purge line.

5. The purge time is the amount of time required for full exchange of atmosphere to inert gas. For each sensor size, the purge time is different. Refer to the table below. If purge lines are being used, increase the purge time to fill the additional volume of the purge line.

6. Avoid pressurizing the sensor case. At the appropriate time, shut off the gas supply, then immediately seal the purge outlet and inlet connections. If pressure inside the case elevates above atmospheric pressure during operation, the flowmeter density calibration will be inaccurate.

D Rupture Disks

Keeping the rupture disks sealed If the sensor has rupture disks, they are installed in the sensor purge fitting openings. The rupture disks should remain installed at all times. If you remove a rupture disk from the sensor case, it is necessary to re-purge the case. See Appendix C, page 65.

Rupture Disks continued

Using the rupture disks The primary reason for having rupture disks is to vent process fluid from inside the sensor case, should the sensor flow tube rupture in a high-pressure application. Some users, such as those measuring high-pressure gases, connect a pipeline to the rupture disk fittings, to help contain escaping process fluid. This provides additional protection should a rupture occur.

Removing a rupture disk The rupture disks are installed in the sensor purge fitting openings. If you remove a rupture disk from the sensor case, it is necessary to re-purge the case. See Case purging procedure, page 66, for instructions.

WARNING

Pressure Relief Zone.

Escaping high-pressure fluid can cause severe injury or death.

Stay clear of rupture disk pressure-relief area.

WARNING

Removing a rupture disk will require the sensor case to be re-purged with a dry inert gas. Improper pressurization could result in serious personal injury.

Follow all instructions for re-purging the sensor case. See Case purging procedure, page 66.
