6.6 Checking the parameters
ABB Automation Products sets the parameters of the measuring system and assigns all
necessary values on the basis of the ordering information. Since the devices are suitable for
universal use (i.e., for fluids and gases), we recommend checking and if necessary modifying
the following parameters in the transmitter during installation and start-up.
Parameter Check
Nominal diameter • Check value on name plate.
k factor • The value displayed must match the value on the flowmeter
sensor.
Operating mode • Select the required operating mode.
• Which flow unit is the meter to display the flow in/is the flowmeter
to add values?
• Selection between units of volume and units of mass flow
(depending upon the selected operating mode).
• Enter the required measuring range in the unit selected above with
the "Qmax operating mode" parameter.
• Range 0.15 ... 1.15 x "QmaxDN operation"
Qmin operation • Check the low flow value.
• Range 0.02 ... 0.25 x QmaxDN
Unit totalizer • Select the unit of flow for internal flow totalizing with the parameter.
This unit is also valid for the pulse output (switching output via
terminals 41/42).
Damping • The response time of the electronics affects the local display, the
pulse output and the transducer block.
