Proving operations
Proving the Intelis meter involves the following tasks.
1. Configuring Test Mode.
2. Entering Test Mode.
3. Recording prover consumption.
4. Exiting Test Mode.
5. Adjusting the calibration.
Configuring Test Mode
Test Mode configuration is completed using Field Deployment Manager (FDM) in one of two
ways.
• By loading the meter configuration from the FDM server using FDM mobile client.
• By entering the parameters directly into the FDM mobile client which are then sent to the
meter.
The FDM configuration file must contain the listed information to complete the Test Mode
configuration. After the meter receives the proper Test Mode configuration parameters, FDM
is used to perform a
Get
of the attributes to display the value types.
1. Set the pulse weight.
2. Set the pulse width.
3. Set the Test Mode maximum time.
Entering Test Mode
Entering Test Mode is accomplished using either the FDM mobile client or through the
magnet in the head of the prover cable. The default is for the Intelis meter to enter Test
Mode after the prover cable pick up head magnet is detected. After the Intelis moves to Test
Mode, the following steps occur.
1. The Intelis logs an
Entering Test Mode
event.
2. The Intelis enters Test Mode.
Caution
: If the meter is operating in prover mode with a flow rate greater than 3.6
CCF (360 cf) per hour with a pulse weight of 0.1 cf (the firmware default setting)
and a pulse width of 1000 ms, the pulse output will always be high. This is
because the meter is outputting a pulse every 1 second and the pulse width is
also 1 second. As the pulse weight is decreased and the pulse width is increased,
the meter moves to 100% duty cycle. Reprove the meter by beginning with a
Qreal setting of 360 cfh (10194.064 Iph) and the pulse width set at 1000 ms.
Measure the pulse output.
3. The Intelis meter index is reset to a zero reading.
4. The Intelis meter starts an optical pulse output.
