CHAPTER 1 Introduction
1.1 Description
The ABB Inc. TRIO-WIRL family of flowmeters consists of the TRIO-WIRL V vortex flowmeter and the TRIO-WIRL S swirlmeter. The TRIO-WIRL V is available in two models in either flanged or wafer styles. A compact or integral Model VT4000 and a remote Model VR4000. Similarly, the TRIO-WIRL S is available in ST4000 and SR4000 models but only in flanged style. The VT4000 Vortex and ST4000 Swirlmeters are supplied with an integrally mounted microprocessor-based signal converter using state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processor (DSP) technology for superior flow and vibration noise immunity. This combination of flowmeter and electronics allows maximum flexibility for on-site configuration and maintenance. Database interrogations and changes at the flowmeter may be performed using the three pushbuttons or by activating three magnetic switches using a magnetic "stick". The two line, 16 character LCD display permits continuous monitoring of the flow rate or other flow parameters. The flowmeters are suitable for service with gas and liquid processes. The meters extended temperature range permits accurate metering of saturated and superheated steam. The meter body, sensor and process connections are made of 316L stainless steel or Hastalloy C. Because the meter has no moving parts, routine maintenance or recalibration is not required. The TRIO-WIRL model and body style variations are shown in the illustrations below.

FIGURE 2-1 MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE, TRIO-WIRL S
2.2 Measurement Principle

The Swirlmeter body contains stationary swirler blades at the meter inlet. The design of these blades forces the axial flow of the fluid into a rotational movement. Due to this "swirling" of the fluid, a vortex is generated at the center of the rotation and forced by a backflow into a secondary rotation whose frequency is proportional to the flow rate. The generation of the vortex is shown pictorially in Figures 2-1 & 2-2. The generated frequency is linear over a wide flow range due to the optimized internal geometry of the instrument and is measured using a piezoelectric sensor. The sensor's frequency signal is converted by the Converter electronics into a 4 - 20mA DC output current

2.2.1 Liquid Flow Back Pressure

In order to prevent cavitation in the meter it is necessary to maintain a minimum back pressure in the system. The required back pressure is determined using the following formula: Pb > 1.3Pv + 2.6 P Where:
Pb = minimum required back pressure (psia) Pv = vapor pressure of the fluid at specified condi tions (psia) P = pressure drop (psia)

2.4 Installation
2.4.1 Inspection
All equipment should be inspected for damage that may have occurred during shipment. All damage should be reported to the shipping agent. If the equipment is damaged to the extent that faulty operation may result, contact ABB Inc. before installation. Always reference the complete instrument serial number and model number in all correspondence concerning the equipment supplied.

mounted at the side or bottom of the flowmeter (Refer to Figure 2-7). If the possibility of gas bubble formation exists, gas separators should be provided. Assuming a properly supported pipeline and the converter s DSP signal processing technology, vibration problems should not be encountered in normal industrial applications. However, it is good practice to minimize mechanical vibrations using supports if required. When installing in long pipelines which have a tendency to vibrate, eliminators should be installed upstream and downstream of the flowmeter. In vertical and sloping installations, the electrical conduit entries should face downward to retard the entry of condensation.
2.4.2 Location & Mounting

2.4.2.1 Installation The Swirlmeter may be installed at virtually any location in a pipeline. The meter may be installed at any angle and is available in a flange style body that mounts between adjacent pipe flanges of the process piping. Since the meter is unidirectional, it must be oriented in accordance with the direction of the process flow. A flow direction arrow is provided on the meter body to assure correct orientation. Take care to observe the following guidelines:
*
2.4.2.2 Recommended Inlet & Outlet Sections Due to the measurement principles of the Swirl Flowmeter it can be installed with very minimal inlet and outlet straight section lengths. Strainers and flow straighteners are not required. Figure 2-3 shows the recommended lengths for the inlet and outlet straight sections for various installation conditions. No inlet and outlet straight sections are required when single or double elbows are installed upstream or downstream from the flowmeter primary when the radius of the elbow is greater than 1.8 x D. To assure optimum meter performance, the meter should be installed in accordance with the upstream and downstream straight run piping requirements shown in Figure 2-3. The straight run piping should be schedule 80 or lighter pipe. Process flanges should be raised face. Remove the covers used to protect the meter inlet and outlet surfaces from damage during shipment. Place the two flange gaskets (supplied) against the upstream and downstream flange faces (Refer to Table 7-5 for replacement flange gaskets). Align the gasket holes with the flange hole pattern. When installing the flange gaskets, make sure that the gaskets fit properly and are alligned properly so that they don't project into the pipe line causing an alteration of the flow profile. A change in flow profile can adversely affect meter accuracy.
Do not exceed the ambient temperature requirements Observe the recommended inlet and outlet straight sections piping requirements (Refer to Figure 2-3). Make sure the flow direction corresponds to the direction indicated by the arrow on the flowmeter primary. Make sure that the required minimum distance for removing the converter and exchanging sensors is provided. The inside diameters of the flowmeter primary and the pipeline should be identical. Pressure fluctuations at zero flowrate in long pipelines should be eliminated by installing intermediate gate valves. Flow pulsations resulting from piston pump or compressor operation should be reduced by using appropriate dampeners. When metering liquids, the flowmeter primary must always be completely filled with fluid and cannot drain. For high fluid temperatures the flowmeter primary is installed so that the electronic assembly is

FIGURE 2-4 RECOMMENDED FLANGE BOLT TIGHTENING SEQUENCE When this is not possible, the control valve should be located > 30D upstream of the flowmeter. FIGURE 2-3 METER PIPING REQUIREMENTS Mounting bolts and nuts are supplied by the user. During installation, make certain that the flow direction arrow on the meter body is oriented in accordance with the process flow. With the meter safely supported, install the bolts through the meter and process flanges. Bolts and nuts should be lubricated with a graphite based lubricant. Assemble the nuts to the bolts hand tight. Tighten the flange nuts in a diagonal or "star" pattern as shown in Figure 2-4 to equalize pressure on the flange face and gaskets. Bolt/nut torque should be limited to that which will provide a leakproof seal. 2.4.2.3 Control Valve Installation Control valves should preferebly be installed downstream from the flowmeter as shown in Figure 2-5.
Refer to Figure 2.3
3D
FIGURE 2-5 CONTROL VALVE INSTALLATION 2.4.2.4 Extreme Temperature Applications For process temperatures above 160o F (71o C) or below 0o F (-18o C), it is critical that the meter be pressurized and placed into service gradually, i.e., with sufficient time delay to minimize thermal shock. Steam should be introduced gradually so that the meter is brought up to operating temperature over a ten to fifteen minute period.
PN24993
WARNING WHEN THE METER IS USED IN A VERY HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURE PROCESS, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE METER BODY MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT OR COLD. IF IT IS NECESSARY TO TOUCH THE SENSOR HOUSING OR METER BODY, INSULATED GLOVES MUST BE WORN TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY. INSULATING THE SWIRLMETER
The flowmeter primary can be insulated to a max. thickness of 4 inches (100 mm) [Refer to Figure 2-6].
CAUTION THE PIPELINE AND METER BODY MAY BE INSULATED BY THE USER UP TO A THICKNESS OF 4 IN. (100 MM) BUT THE METER INTERCONNECTION WIRING BOX AND SENSOR HOUSING TOWER MUST NOT BE INSULATED. AMBIENT AIR IS REQUIRED TO DISSIPATE HEAT OR COLD BUILD-UP WITHIN THE INTERCONNECTION WIRING BOX.

Refer to Figure 2-7 for an example of the recommended high-temperature application orientation. 1) Cables suitable for use to 230o F (110C) can be used for power supply terminals 31 & 32 and contact output terminals 41 & 42 without any reduction in the temperature range specifications. Cables suitable only for temperatures of 175o F (80C) reduce the temperature range of the flowmeter as shown in Figure 2-8.
PN24993
2.4.3 Temperature/Pressure Monitoring

Provisions for temperature and/or pressure monitoring are the responsibility of the user. The temperature sensor should be located a minimum of three pipe diameters downstream of the flowmeter. Measurement is from the downstream face of the meter. An option is available for the Swirlmeter for direct Pt100 temperature measurements. These temperature measurements can be used to monitor the fluid temperature or for the measurement of saturated steam in mass units. The pressure tap is located in the Swirlmeter body as shown in Figure 2-9. FIGURE 2-9 MEASURING PRESSURE

The flowmeter size selection is made using the maximum actual volume flowrate (Q ), at operating conditions. If the flowrate to be metered is expressed as a standard flowrate (conditions = 14.7 psia, 70F) or as a mass flowrate, it will be necessary to first convert these values to their equivalent actual volume flowrate at operating conditions before selecting the most suitable flowmeter size from the Flow Range Table below..

CHAPTER 3 Vortex Meter (TRIO-WIRL V)

3.1 General
The volumetric flowrate of steam, gases and liquids can be measured over wide flow ranges independent of the fluid properties with this newest member to the Vortex Meter line. Special features of this Vortex meter are:
*
The frequency f of the vortex shedding is proportional to the flow velocity v and inversely proportional to the width of the shedder body d:
v f = St -d
Accuracy: Liquids: 0.75% of rate Gas/Steam: 1% of rate Rugged and simple flowmeter primary design. Wafer design. High temperature design to 400C (750F). High pressure design to ANSI CL 900. operating modes for volume and mass rate
The quality of the vortex flowrate measurements is determined by the dimensionless Strouhal Number (St). By appropriate design of the shedder body, St is constant over a wide Reynolds Number (Re) range as shown in Figure 3-2.
vD Re = ----------- = Kinematic viscosity
* * * * *
D = Meter tube diameter v = Flow Velocity
3.2 Measurement Principle

The operation of the TRIO-WIRL V vortex meter is based on the Karman Vortex Street. Vortices are formed as the fluid flows around a shedder body. These vortices are alternately shed from the sides of the shedder body. The fluid flow causes these vortices to be released forming a "vortex street" (Karman Vortex Street), refer to Figures 3-1 & 3-3. FIGURE 3-2 STROUHAL NUMBER / REYNOLDS NUMBER RELATIONSHIP As a result, the vortex shedding frequency to be evaluated, is only a function of the flow velocity and is independent of the fluid density and viscosity. The local pressure changes resulting from the vortex shedding are detected by a Piezo sensor and converted into electrical pulses corresponding to the vortex shedding frequency. The flowrate proportional frequency signal generated in the flowmeter primary is processed in the converter into a current output (4 - 20 mA) signal.

3.4 Installation
3.4.1 Inspection
All equipment should be inspected for damage that may have occurred during shipment. All damage should be reported to the shipping agent. If the equipment is damaged to the extent that faulty operation may result, contact ABB Inc. before installation. Always reference the complete instrument serial number and model number in all correspondence concerning the equipment supplied.
*
mounted at the side or bottom of the flowmeter (Refer to Figure 3-12). If the possibility of gas bubble formation exists, gas separators should be provided. Assuming a properly supported pipeline and the converter s DSP signal processing technology, vibration problems should not be encountered in normal industrial applications. However, it is good practice to minimize mechanical vibrations using supports if required. When installing in long pipelines which have a tendency to vibrate, eliminators should be installed upstream and downstream of the flowmeter. In vertical and sloping installations, the electrical conduit entries should face downward to retard the entry of condensation.
3.4.2 Location & Mounting

3.4.2.1 Installation The Vortex meter may be installed at virtually any location in the pipeline. The meter may be installed at any angle and is available in either a wafer-style or flange-style body that mounts between adjacent pipe sections of the process piping. Since the meter is unidirectional, it must be oriented in accordance with the direction of the process flow. A flow direction arrow is provided on the meter body to assure correct orientation. Take care to observe the following guidelines:
* *
3.4.2.2 Recommended Inlet & Outlet Sections Due to the measurement principles of the Vortex Flowmeter it can be installed with minimal inlet and outlet straight section lengths. Strainers and flow straighteners are not required. Figure 3-4 shows the recommended lengths for the inlet and outlet straight sections for various installation conditions. No inlet and outlet straight sections are required when single or double elbows are installed upstream or downstream from the flowmeter primary when the radius of the elbow is greater than 1.8 x D. To assure optimum meter performance, the meter should be installed in accordance with the upstream and downstream straight run piping requirements shown in Figure 3-4. The straight run piping should be schedule 80 or lighter pipe. Process flanges should be raised face. Remove the covers used to protect the meter inlet and outlet surfaces from damage during shipment.
Do not exceed the ambient temperature requirements Observe the recommended inlet and outlet straight sections piping requirements (Refer to Figure 3-4). Make sure the flow direction corresponds to the direction indicated by the arrow on the flowmeter primary. Make sure that the required minimum distance for removing the converter and exchanging sensors is provided. The inside diameters of the flowmeter primary and the pipeline should be identical. Pressure fluctuations at zero flowrate in long pipelines should be eliminated by installing intermediate gate valves. Flow pulsations resulting from piston pump or compressor operation should be reduced by using appropriate dampeners. When metering liquids, the flowmeter primary must always be completely filled with fluid and cannot drain. For high fluid temperatures the flowmeter primary is installed so that the electronic assembly is
PN24993
centering devices
3.4.2.3 Wafer-Style Installation The wafer type meter body mounts inside the pipe flange bolt circle and ranges in size from 1/2 to 8 inches. To assure optimum meter performance, the meter should be installed in accordance with the upstream and downstream straight run piping requirements given in Figure 3-4. The straight run piping should be schedule 80 or lighter pipe. Either flat or raised face flanges may be used. Remove the shipping covers used to protect the meter inlet and outlet surfaces from damage during transit and handling. WAFER STYLE, SIZES 1 THROUGH 2 INCHES Optional centering devices, mounting studs and nuts (Refer to Tables 7-3 & 7-4 for replacement parts) are supplied when specified at time of order. The centering devices have an internal diameter that permits the ring to be mounted via an undercut face on the inlet and outlet ends of the meter body. Regardless of whether the meter will be installed in a horizontal, sloping, or vertical pipeline, one ring is used at the inlet end and the other ring at the outlet end of the meter. Use of the centering devices is illustrated in Figure 3-5. The rings will have several bolt alignment hole patterns that are spaced and located on different bolt circle radii. This permits the centering device for a particular meter size to be adapted for various flange ratings, e.g., ANSI Class 150, 300 or 600 lb. flanges. When installing the centering devices, orient them so that the flange rating values stamped on the rings will face the meter body, i.e., markings must be visible. Position the centering device so that the mounting studs will pass through the appropriate set of bolt circle radii, as designated according to the flange rating. Place the two flange gaskets (supplied) against the upstream and downstream flange faces (Refer to Table 7-5 for replacement flange gaskets). Align the gaskets holes with the flange bolt pattern. When installing the flange gaskets, use care to assure that the gaskets fit properly and do not project into the pipe line causing an alteration of the flow profile. A change in flow profile can adversely affect meter accuracy. Install the meter in the pipeline, between the inlet and outlet gaskets. Make certain that the flow direction arrow on the meter body is oriented in accordance with the process flow. If the meter is installed in a horizontal pipeline, insert two studs in the bottom two flange holes to support the meter. When installing the meter in a vertical pipe run, some temporary support may be required until mounting studs and nuts have been installed.
FIGURE 3-4 METER PIPING REQUIREMENTS
PN24993
Install the remaining mounting studs, as required. Studs and nuts should be lubricated with a graphite based lubricant. Assemble a nut on each end of the mounting studs hand tight. Tighten the stud nuts in a
diagonally opposite pattern, as shown in Figure 3-8, to equalize pressure on the meter face. Nut torque should be limited to that which will provide a leakproof seal.
FIGURE 3-5 WAFER PROCESS CONNECTIONS, SIZES 1/2 THROUGH 2 INCHES WAFER STYLE, SIZES 3 THROUGH 8 INCHES Place the two flange gaskets (supplied) against the upstream and downstream flange faces (Refer to Table 7-5 for replacement flange gaskets). Align the gaskets holes with the flange bolt pattern. When installing the flange gaskets, use care to assure that the gaskets fit properly and do not project into the pipe line causing an alteration of the flow profile. A change in flow profile can adversely affect meter accuracy. Optional centering sleeves (spacers), mounting studs and nuts are supplied (Refer to Tables 7-3 & 7-4 for replacement parts) when specified at time of order. Placement of the sleeves is dependent on the type of installation (vertical/horizontal/sloping). If the meter is installed in a vertical pipeline, select four equally spaced bolt holes for placement of the four sleeves and studs (refer to Figure 3-6). If the meter is installed in a horizontal or sloping pipeline, select the bottom two holes of the flanges on each end of the meter for placement of the four sleeves and studs. Install the meter in the pipeline between the inlet and outlet gaskets. Make certain that the flow direction arrow on the meter body is oriented in accordance with the process flow. In horizontal pipe runs the meter will be supported by the upstream and downstream sleeves. When installing the meter in a vertical pipe run, some temporary support may be required until mounting studs and nuts have been installed. Install the remaining mounting studs, as required. Studs and nuts should be lubricated with a graphite based lubricant. Place a hex nut on each end of the mounting stud. Tighten the stud nuts in a diagonally opposite pattern, as shown in Figure 3-8, to equalize pressure on the meter face. Nut torque should be limited to that which will provide a leakproof seal.

FIGURE 3-6 WAFER PROCESS CONNECTIONS, SIZES 3 THROUGH 8 INCHES When properly installed, the installation should look like that shown in Figure 3-7 below. 3.4.2.4 Flanged-Style Installation Place the two supplied flange gaskets against the upstream and downstream flange faces (Refer to Table 7-5 for replacement flange gaskets). Align the gasket holes with the flange hole pattern. When installing the flange gaskets, make sure that the gaskets fit properly and are alligned properly so that they don't project into the pipe line causing an alteration of the flow profile. A change in flow profile can adversely affect meter accuracy. Mounting bolts and nuts are supplied by the user. During installation, make certain that the flow direction arrow on the meter body is oriented in accordance with the process flow. With the meter safely supported, install the bolts through the meter and process flanges. Bolts and nuts should be lubricated with a graphite based lubricant. Assemble the nuts to the bolts hand tight. Tighten the flange nuts in a diagonal or "star" pattern as shown in Figure 3-8 to equalize pressure on the flange face and gaskets. Bolt/nut torque should be limited to that which will provide a leakproof seal.

3.4.2.5 Control Valve Installation

Control valves should be installed downstream from the flowmeter as shown in Figure 3-10. When this is not possible, the control valve should be located > 50D upstream from the flowmeter.
Refer to Figure 3-4
FIGURE 3-10 CONTROL VALVE INSTALLATION 3.4.2.6 Extreme Temperature Applications For process temperatures above 160o F (71o C) or below 0o F (-18o C), it is critical that the meter be pressurized and placed into service gradually, i.e., with sufficient time delay to minimize thermal shock. Steam should be introduced gradually so that the meter is brought up to operating temperature over a ten to fifteen minute period. WARNING WHEN THE METER IS USED IN A VERY HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURE PROCESS, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE METER BODY MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT OR COLD. IF IT IS NECESSARY TO TOUCH THE SENSOR HOUSING OR METER BODY, INSULATED GLOVES MUST BE WORN TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY. INSULATING THE VORTEX METER
The flowmeter primary can be insulated to a max. thickness of 4 inches (100 mm) [Refer to Figure 3-11].
FIGURE 3-8 RECOMMENDED FLANGE BOLT TIGHTENING SEQUENCE When correctly installed, the installation should look like that shown in Figure 3-9 below

In horizontal installations, when process temperatures above 300o F (150o C) are encountered, the meter must be oriented so that the junction box is located to the side or below meter body, not above. Refer to Figure 3-12 for an example of the recommended high-temperature application orientation. .
3.4.3 Temperature/Pressure Monitoring

Provisions for temperature and/or pressure monitoring are the responsibility of the user. The temperature sensor should be located five to eight pipe diameters downstream of the flowmeter. Measurement is from the downstream face of the meter. The pressure tap should be located three to five pipe diameters downstream of the flowmeter. Measurement is from the downstream face of the meter. An option is available for the vortex meter for direct Pt100 temperature measurements. These temperature measurements can be used to monitor the fluid temperature or for the measurement of saturated steam in mass units.
FIGURE 3-12 Orientation for Temperatures >300 F (150o C)
When operating at elevated temperatures, the interrelationship between the fluid and ambient temperatures must be taken into consideration. Figure 3-13 shows the allowable operating range for ambient vs. process fluid temperatures.

3.5 Vortex Meter Size Selection

The maximum required actual volume flowrate Q at operating conditions is the basis for the flowmeter size selections. In order to utilize the maximum flow range this value should not be less than one half of the maximum flowrate for the meter size (QVmax). The linear flow range (see Accuracy Specifications) corresponds to the Reynolds Number (Re) range from 20,000 (or 40,000 for 6 / DN 150) to 7,000,000.

Where: p T Q Q Q = Density at operating conditions (lb/ft ) = Density at standard conditions (lb/ft ) = Pressure at operating conditions (psig) = Temperature at operating conditions (F) = Actual volume flowrate (acfh) = Standard flowrate (scfh) = Mass flowrate (lb/hr)
3 3
If the flowrate to be metered is expressed as a standard flowrate (70 oF, 14.7 psia) or as a mass flowrate, it will be necessary to first convert these values to their equivalent actual volume flowrate at operating conditions before selecting the most suitable flowmeter size from the Flow Range Tables (Tables 3-1 & 3-4 to 3-6). 1.

CHAPTER 4 Converter
4.1 General
The TRIO-WIRL flow metering system is designed as a 2-wire instrument, i.e. the supply power and the current output signal (4-20 mA) both use the same pair of connection leads. Two converter mounting versions are available, integral ( models ST/VT) and remote (models SR/VR). INTEGRAL The TRIO-WIRL VT/ST models are supplied with an integrally mounted microprocessor-based signal converter as shown in Figure 4-1. The converter uses state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processor (DSP) technology for superior flow and vibration noise immunity. This combination of flowmeter and electronics allows maximum flexibility for on-site calibration and maintenance. Database interrogations and changes at the flowmeter may be performed using the three pushbuttons or by activating three magnetic switches using a magnetic "stick". The two line, 16 character LCD display permits continuous monitoring of the flow rate and totalizer using multiplexing, if desired. wall-mounted or pipe-mounted (pipe-mounting hardware is shown in Figure 4-3).The remote design also offers advantages when the ambient conditions at the flowmeter primary are extreme. The maximum distance between the converter and the flowmeter primary is 10 meters. A special cable is supplied with the meter to interconnect the flowmeter primary and the converter and is permanently attached to the converter.
.
FIGURE 4-2 REMOTE TRIO-WIRL MODEL VR
FIGURE 4-1 INTEGRAL TRIO-WIRL MODEL VT REMOTE The TRIO-WIRL VR/SR models (Figure 4-2) are based on the VT/ST converter technology and include all the options available in the VT/ST models. The difference is that the converter is mounted remotely from the flowmeter primary when the primary is installed in a location difficult to access. The converter may be either
FIGURE 4-3 VR/SR PIPE-MOUNT BRACKET
PN24993
Converter 4 - 1
After the installation has been completed, the cable can be cut to the length required to reach he flowmeter primary. Because the signals between the flowmeter primary and converter are not amplified all connections
must be made with care and the leads positioned in the connection box so that they are not affected by vibrations.
4.2 Converter Positioning

During installation, the converter housing may be rotated and positioned for optimal readability. A simple mechanical block prevents the housing from being rotated more than 330. This protects the cable which is connected to the flowmeter primary. The procedure to rotate the converter is as follows (refer to Figure 4-4): 1. Loosen the locking screw on the converter housing with a 4 mm hex wrench. 2. Press out the locking bolt. 3. Rotate the converter housing to the desired position. 4. Reinsert the locking bolt. 5. Tighten the locking screw.. Additional versatility is provided by the ability to rotate the display 90o for applications which require the meter to be mounted in a vertical pipeline. The procedure to rotate the display is as follows: 1. Unscrew and remove the display housing cover. 2. Remove the display bezel by un-clipping the two tabs on the sides of the bezel. Pull the tabs slightly outward and upward to remove the bezel and provide access to the PCB mounting screws. 3. Remove the 4 mounting screws that secure the display PCB assembly to the converter PCB stack. 4. Rotate the display either 90o clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the desired orientation. 5. Resecure the display PCB by re-installing the 4 mounting screws. 6. Re-attach both the display bezel and the display housing cover. FIGURE 4-4 CONVERTER HOUSING ROTATION

Magnetic Sensors
The C/CE-key is used to toggle back and forth between the operating mode and the menu display. It is also used for the "exit" function to exit from the menus.
STEP The STEP-key is one of two arrow keys. STEP is used to scroll forward through the menu. All desired parameters can be accessed. DATA The DATA-key is one of two arrow keys. DATA is used to scroll backward through the menu. All desired parameters can be accessed. ENTER The ENTER function requires that both arrow keys, STEP and DATA, be pressed simultaneously. ENTER is utilized to access STEP the values in the parameter to be changed and to accept the new values or selections. The ENTER function is only active for DATA approx. 10 Sec. If no entries are made during this 10 Sec. time interval the old value is redisplayed on the converter. If an additional 10 seconds elapses without any action, the standard process display reappears.
Display may be rotated either 90 CW or CCW

4.3.1 ENTER Function for Magnetic Stick Operation

The ENTER function is initiated when the DATA/ ENTER magnetic sensor is activated for more than 3 seconds. The display blinks to indicate that the function is active. The converter remains on-line during data entry, i.e., the current and pulse outputs continue to indicate the actual instantaneous flowrate values. The individual button functions are described in the following table:

CHAPTER 5 Start-Up & Operation

5.1 Start-Up
Prior to initial system start-up, verify that the meter is properly installed. Check flow direction as indicated on the meter body and wiring interconnections as shown in Figures 5-2, 5-4 & 5-5. Verify that the power supply is the correct value according to the power requirements of the signal converter and that it is connected with the proper polarity. If everything is properly installed and connected, turn on the power to the meter. The LCD display should become active and display the selected information in two lines. Using the pushbuttons located in the signal converter housing (see Section 4.3), verify that the correct operating parameters have been entered as described in this section. If everything appears to be operating properly, initiate process flow through the flowmeter. Flow measurement and output signal transmission should begin as the process fluid flows through the meter.
5.1.2 Firmware Version

The firmware level and the model number are shown in the display with the model number and firmware release date on the top line and the EPROM identification and firmware level on the bottom line. Changes to the firmware can only be made by replacing the EPROM. When communicating with ABB Inc., please reference the firmware version of the instrument. The Functional Flowchart shown in Figure 4-1 gives a pictorial overview of the top-level menu structure of this version of firmware. Functions of these menu parameters and their sub-menu breakdowns are explained in more detail following the flowchart. This procedure has been prepared based on firmware version 699F004U01 A.11. Other versions will be similar, but not identical and may have features different from those discussed in this section.
5.1.3 Program Protection

The Program Protection is automatically turned ON during power-up. Parameters cannot be changed when Program Protection is ON. Refer to Section 4.3.2 to change Program Protection from ON to OFF (or vice-versa).
5.1.1 Calibration Parameters

The TRIO-WIRL flowmeter is precision-calibrated at the factory for the values specified at the time of order. The meter data is noted on a paper data tag located on the customer connection lid. A metal data tag is located on the outside of the instrument with additional data. A sample of this tag is shown in Figure 5-1.
5.1.4 Error Messages

Error messages replace the flow rate indication in the top line of the display when certain failure conditions exist or when an attempt has been made to enter an unacceptable value. Refer to Chapter 6 for definitions of displayed error messages.
5.2 Electrical Interconnections

5.2.1 TRIO-WIRL VT/ST4000 Integral
Ref. -r.
The flow metering system TRIO-WIRL is designed as a 2-wire instrument, i.e. the supply power and the current output signal (4-20 mA) both use the same pair of connection leads as shown in Figure 5-2.
FIGURE 5-1 INSTRUMENT DATA TAG

Start-Up & Operation 5 - 1
Power Supply/ Current Output Terminals Contact Output Terminals
After the installation has been completed, the cable may be cut to the length required to reach the flowmeter primary. Because the signals between the flowmeter primary and converter are not amplified, all connections must be made with care and the leads positioned in the connection box so that they are not affected by vibrations.

5.2.2 TRIO-WIRL VR/SR4000 Remote

The TRIO WIRL VR/SR (Figure 5-3) is based on the VT/ST technology and includes all the options available in the VT/ST models. The converter is mounted remotely from the flowmeter primary when it is installed in a location difficult to access. This design also offers advantages when the ambient conditions at the flowmeter primary are extreme. The meter should be connected using Figures 5-4 & 5-5 as guidelines. The maximum distance between the converter and the flowmeter primary is 33 ft. (10 m). A special cable is utilized to interconnect the flowmeter primary and the converter (this cable is permanently attached to the converter).
