General information
● All activities described in § 3 “Installation” must be completed before commissioning. A
laptop/PC with the FLOWgate™ operating software installed is required for
commissioning.
● The commissioning should be documented with a Commissioning Protocol. The
document “FLOWSIC600-XT Commissioning Protocol” is content of the FLOWSIC600-XT
shipping on paper and on the product CD. The completed Commissioning Protocol must
be filed with the FLOWSIC600-XT device documentation.
● The FLOWSIC600-XT is zero adjusted or flow calibrated when delivered to the plant
operator. The zero adjust comprises the 3-D measurement of the meter body, zero-flow
and sound velocity test as well as other system specific tests which belong to the
manufacturing and quality assurance process. The flow calibration is performed on a
flow calibration test stand (calibration test facility).
● Usually, flow calibration for fiscal devices is performed at a test pressure that
corresponds as closely as possible to the mean working pressure of the intended point
of use. This defines the possible operating pressure range depending on the selected
substitute or calibration value (pfix). This results in the following absolute pressure
ranges for a Class 1.0 or Class 0.5 measurement according to OIML R137-2012.
● All parameters, determined by the aforementioned tests, as well as design specific data
are preset and stored in the FLOWSIC600-XT in a non-volatile memory before delivery.
Generally, the parameters are protected by a password. Additionally a Parameter write
lock in the Signal Processing Unit prevents metrology relevant parameter changes.
In all other cases, the output parameters of the FLOWSIC600-XT can be adapted on site
by trained staff.
● The commissioning of FLOWSIC600-XT is supported by the field setup wizard in the
Class 1.0

NOTICE:
Measures in a metrologically secured area
If stipulated by national regulations, measures on the device in the metrologi
-
cally secured area after commissioning may be carried out only under official
supervision.
▸
This must be coordinated with the authorities before carrying out the
measures.
▸
All measures must be carried out on the basis of this Manual and, when
necessary, the Service Manual (Part No. 8019178).
