TRANSFER INSTALL FUNCTION
All 1010 flowmeter operating systems (version 3.00.20 and greater) include the installa-
tion facility called “Transfer Install.” This function permits the transducers to be repo-
sitioned while maintaining all calibration parameters and operation established during
the water calibration. The Transfer Install function allows the transducers to be opti-
mally positioned for a different fluid, without the need for a new Initial Makeup proce-
dure.
NOTE: Prior to performing Transfer Install make sure that the water calibra-
tion procedure was performed and a saved active site exists.
3.1
Transfer Install Procedure
To initiate the Transfer Install function, proceed as follows:
3.1.1
In the Application Menu press the <Right Arrow> to select the [Liquid Class]
menu cell. Scroll and highlight [Estimated Vs m/s] from the option list.
3.1.2
Use the numeric keys to change the Estimated Vs to the Estimated Vs value of
the customer selected liquid.
3.1.3
To enter new Estimated Vs value press <ENT>.
3.1.4
Proceed to the Pick/Install Xdcr menu and select the same transducer, mounting
mode and spacing offset that was selected for the water calibration.
3.1.5
Re-space the transducers to the index position indicated by the flowmeter.
3.1.6
Scroll to the [Install Completed?] menu cell and select [Transfer Install] from
the option list.
NOTE: If [Transfer Install] does not appear in the option list then either the
Estimated Vs or the transducer size was improperly entered. In this case,
recall the water calibration site and start the procedure again at Step
3.1.1 above.
3.1.7
For MultiPath systems repeat Step 3.1.6 above for the remaining paths.
3.1.8
The flowmeter should now be operational at the new spacing location.
NOTE: Depending on the size of the pipeline, the change in the estimated sonic
velocity (Vs) and the repositioning of transducers, the flowmeter may
not operate out of Fault even if the spool or pipe is filled with liquid. This
can be expected when performing a Transfer Install for liquified gases
or for clamp-on natural gas flowmeters.
3.2
Saving New Transfer Install Site
3.2.1
To save the Transfer Installed site, scroll to the Channel Setup menu and press
the <Right Arrow>. Press the <Right Arrow> again to select the [Save/Rename]
menu cell.
3.2.2
Use the numeric keys to rename the Transfer Installed site with the same site
name used in Step 3.1.2 above, but with a “T” appended to the end of the site
name (e.g., 3CS40T).
3.2.3
Press <ENT> to store data.
