2.3 Product description
Field Verification Device is a portable test device for the electromagnetic flow meters
type ModMAG
®
M1000, M2000 and B-MAG I M5000.
With the Field Verification Device, accurate verification of meter functionality is assured
without taking the meter out of the pipeline ("wet" test) and interrupting functionality.
Meter diagnosis and calibration can be performed on-site. A "dry" test (removing the
meter and benchtesting) can also be performed. The complete verification test
consumes approximately 20 minutes and results can be downloaded to a Microsoft
Windows
®
personal computer.
2.4 Functions
The Verification Device also:
•
determines if the meter is within one percent of the original factory
calibration.
• verifies the functionality of all of the meter's inputs and outputs.
• measures electrode resistance and integrity.
• measures coil resistance and integrity.
• measures coil insulation resistance.
• measures current and frequency at previously selected flow rate.
• evaluates the signal processing functionality.
•
verifies that there is no high-voltage noise disturbing the coil circuit.
