The base model code completely describes your transmitter, except for the features that can be
licensed independently. The base model code is set at the factory.
e) Set
Model Code (Options)
to the options model code of the transmitter.
The options model code describes the independent features that have been licensed for this
transmitter. The original options model code is set at the factory. If you license additional
options for this transmitter, Micro Motion will supply an updated options model code.
2. Set informational parameters for the sensor.
a) Set
Sensor Serial Number
to the serial number of the sensor connected to this transmitter.
The sensor serial number is provided on the metal tag that is attached to the sensor case.
b) Set
Sensor Material
to the material used for the sensor.
c) Set
Sensor Liner
to the material used for the sensor liner.
d) Set
Flange Type
to the type of flange that was used to install the sensor.
Do not set
Sensor Type
.
Sensor Type
is set or derived during characterization.

Characterization
Characterizing the meter adjusts your transmitter to match the unique traits of the sensor it is paired with.
The characterization parameters (also called calibration parameters) describe the sensor’s sensitivity to flow,
density, and temperature. Depending on your sensor type, different parameters are required.
Values for your sensor are provided on the sensor tag or the calibration certificate.
•
If your transmitter was ordered with a sensor, it was characterized at the factory. However, you should still
verify the characterization parameters.
•
Perform a characterization whenever you replace a core processor.
Procedure
1. Optional: Specify
Sensor Type
as Curved Tube.
Note
Unlike earlier transmitters, the 4200 derives
Sensor Type
from the user-specified values for FCF and K1
in combination with an internal ID.
2. Set the flow calibration factor:
FCF
(also called
Flow Cal
or
Flow Calibration Factor
). Be sure to include
all decimal points.
3. Set the density characterization parameters:
D1
,
D2
,
TC
,
K1
,
K2
, and
FD
. (
TC
is sometimes shown as
DT
.)
4. Apply the changes as required by the tool you are using.
