44 Micro Motion Series 1000 and Series 2000 Transmitters
Required Transmitter Configuration
This chapter provides basic information and procedural flowcharts for each configuration step. For
more details about how to perform each procedure, see the flowcharts for your transmitter and
communication tool, provided in the appendices to this manual.
Default values and ranges for the parameters described in this chapter are provided in Appendix A.
Optional configuration procedures are described in Chapter 8.
Notes: All ProLink II procedures provided in this chapter assume that your computer is already
connected to the transmitter and you have established communication. All ProLink II procedures also
assume that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 3 for more
information.
If you are using AMS, the AMS interface will be similar to the ProLink II interface described in this
chapter.
All Communicator procedures provided in this chapter assume that you are starting from the
“Online” menu. See Chapter 4 for more information.
6.2 Characterizing the flowmeter
Characterizing the flowmeter adjusts the transmitter to compensate for the unique
traits of the sensor it is paired with. The characterization parameters, or calibration
parameters, describe the sensor’s sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature.
6.2.1 When to characterize
If the transmitter, core processor, and sensor were ordered together, then the flowmeter has already
been characterized. You need to characterize the flowmeter only if the core processor and sensor are
being paired together for the first time.
6.2.2 Characterization parameters
The characterization parameters that must be configured depend on your flowmeter’s sensor type:
“T-Series” or “Other” (also referred to as “Straight Tube” and “Curved Tube,” respectively), as listed
in Table 6-1. The “Other” category includes all Micro Motion sensors except T-Series.
The characterization parameters are provided on the sensor tag. The format of the sensor tag varies
depending on your sensor’s date of purchase. See Figures 6-2 and 6-3 for illustrations of newer and
older sensor tags.
