4 Commissioning
Commissioning is the process of testing the assembly or flowmeter to
ensure that it operates accurately and safely.
If you are using a direct mount ProPlate/Mass ProPlate assembly with
a 3051, refer to the information and instructions in “Commissioning
Direct Mount ProPlates/ Mass ProPlates” on page 4-2. If you are using
a remote mount ProPlate/Mass ProPlate flowmeter assembly, refer to
the information and instructions in “Remote Mount Commissioning” on
page 4-4.
This section provides instructions for commissioning direct mounted
ProPlate models in horizontal or vertical pipes.
NOTE
The commissioning process differs between direct mounted and remote
mounted ProPlate flowmeters. See “Remote Mount Commissioning” on
page 4-4 for instructions.
SAFETY MESSAGES Instructions and procedures in this section may require special

performing any operation in this section.
If the line is pressurized, serious injury or death could occur by opening valves.
Explosions could result in death or serious injury:
• Do not remove the transmitter cover in explosive atmospheres when the circuit
is alive.
• Before connecting a HART-based communicator in an explosive atmosphere,
make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with
intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.
• Verify that the operating atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the
appropriate hazardous locations certifications.
• Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof
