3. Click Calibrate Zero .
4. Modify Zero Time , if desired.
Zero Time
controls the amount of time the transmitter takes to determine its zero-
flow reference point. The default Zero Time is 20 seconds. For most applications, the
default Zero Time is appropriate.
5. Click
Perform Auto Zero
.
The Calibration in Progress light will turn red during the zero procedure. At the end of
the procedure:
• If the zero procedure was successful, the Calibration in Progress light returns to
green and a new zero value is displayed.
• If the zero procedure failed, the Calibration Failure light turns red.
Postrequisites
Restore normal flow through the sensor by opening the valves.
Need help? If the zero fails:
• Ensure that there is no flow through the sensor, then retry.
• Remove or reduce sources of electromechanical noise, then retry.
• Set
Zero Time
to a lower value, then retry.
• If the zero continues to fail, contact Micro Motion.
• If you want to return the flowmeter to operation using a previous zero value:
- To restore the zero value set at the factory: ProLink > Zero Verification and Calibration > Calibrate
Zero
>
Restore Factory Zero
.This function requires the enhanced core processor.
- To restore the most recent valid value from transmitter memory: ProLink > Zero Verification
and Calibration
>
Calibrate Zero
>
Restore Prior Zero
.
Restore Prior Zero
is available only while the
Flow Calibration window is open. If you close the Flow Calibration window, you will no
longer be able to restore the prior zero.
Restriction
Restore the factory zero only if your flowmeter was purchased as a unit, it was zeroed at the factory,
and you are using the original components.
11.3.3 Zero the flowmeter using ProLink III
Zeroing the flowmeter establishes a baseline for process measurement by analyzing the
sensor's output when there is no flow through the sensor tubes.
Prerequisites
ProLink III must be running and must be connected to the transmitter.
Procedure
1. Prepare the flowmeter:
