Meter Installation Check-Out
Never open the transmitter when it is energized. Before inspecting components, open the power
supply circuit breaker. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or an explosion.
To validate a meter’s installation, perform the following procedure. For troubleshooting
information, see Section 8, Troubleshooting and Diagnostics.
Verify the meter is oriented with the transmitter on top of the meter body and the upstream hydraulics is
adequate. Verify the upstream pipe diameter is concentric with the meter body.
1.
Verify all field terminations have proper continuity and isolation from each other and earth. Verify
connections are good with respect to insulation.
2.
Verify electronics turn on. The two LEDs on the display should be lit and the display is working.
3.
Verify Modbus communications are operational. (Use LEFMLink software to test Modbus
communications on the RS-485 connection or the Ethernet connection).
4.
Verify meter operation according to Section 6, Operations.
5.
Use LEFMLink software to force outputs (current and pulses). Verify forced outputs are within 0.1%
on current and within 0.01% on pulse frequency. For more information on forced outputs, see
Output Test Mode below or consult the LEFMLink software manual.
Note – Always return the meter to normal operation following the use of forced outputs in Output Test
mode.
6.
If the pipe is pressurized, use LEFMLink software or Modbus communications to verify the
following:
a.
Signals have Rejects < 2% and a Signal to Noise Ratio > 40.
b.
Standard deviations of Paths 1 and 4 are less than 6% (for flowing conditions).
c.
Standard deviations of Paths 2 and 3 are less than 4% (for flowing conditions).
Output Test Mode
The Output Test mode is used during field testing or verification checks. This output test is best done using
the Cameron provided software – LEFMLink.
