Proline Promass 83 Safety instructions

1 Safety instructions

1.1 Designated use

The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is to be used only for measuring the
mass flow rate of liquids and gases. At the same time, the system also measures fluid density and
fluid temperature. These parameters are then used to calculate other variables such as volume flow.
Fluids with widely differing properties can be measured.
Examples:
• Oils, fats
• Acids, alkalis, lacquers, paints, solvents and cleaning agents
• Pharmaceuticals, catalysts, inhibitors
• Suspensions
• Gases, liquefied gases, etc.
• Chocolate, condensed milk, liquid sugar
Resulting from incorrect use or from use other than that designated the operational safety of the
measuring devices can be suspended. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages being
produced from this.

1.2 Installation, commissioning and operation

Note the following points:
• Installation, connection to the electricity supply, commissioning and maintenance of the device
must be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform such work by the
facility's owner operator. The specialist must have read and understood these Operating
Instructions and must follow the instructions they contain.
• The device must be operated by persons authorized and trained by the facility's owner-operator.
Strict compliance with the instructions in the Operating Instruction is mandatory.
• Endress+Hauser is willing to assist in clarifying the chemical resistance properties of parts wetted
by special fluids, including fluids used for cleaning. However, small changes in temperature,
concentration or the degree of contamination in the process can result in changes of the chemical
resistance properties. Therefore, Endress+Hauser can not guarantee or accept liability for the
chemical resistance properties of the fluid wetted materials in a specific application. The user is
responsible for the choice of fluid wetted materials in regards to their in-process resistance to
corrosion.
• If carrying out welding work on the piping, the welding unit may not be grounded by means of
the measuring device.
• The installer must ensure that the measuring system is correctly wired in accordance with the
wiring diagrams. The transmitter must be earthed unless special protection measures have been
taken e.g. galvanically isolated power supply SELV or PELV (SELV = Save Extra Low Voltage;
PELV = Protective Extra Low Voltage).
• Invariably, local regulations governing the opening and repair of electrical devices apply.

1.3 Operational safety

Note the following points:
• Measuring systems for use in hazardous environments are accompanied by separate 
"Ex documentation", which is an integral part of these Operating Instructions.
Strict compliance with the installation instructions and ratings as stated in this supplementary
documentation is mandatory. The symbol on the front of this supplementary Ex documentation
indicates the approval and the certification body (e.g. 0 Europe, 2 USA, 1 Canada).
• The measuring device complies with the general safety requirements in accordance with
EN 61010-1, the EMC requirements of IEC/EN 61326, and NAMUR Recommendation NE 21,
NE 43 and NE 53.
• For measuring systems used in SIL 2 applications, the separate manual on functional safety must
be observed.
• External surface temperature of the transmitter can increase by 10 K due to power consumption
of internal electronical components. Hot process fluids passing through the measuring device will
further increase the surface temperature of the measuring device. Especially the surface of the
sensor can reach temperatures which are close to process temperature. Additionally safety
precautions are required when increased process temperatures are present.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to modify technical data without prior notice.
Your Endress+Hauser distributor will supply you with current information and updates to these
Operating Instructions.

1.4 Return
• Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused
through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be
charged to the owner-operator.
• Please note the measures on ä 101

3 Installation

3.1 Incoming acceptance, transport and storage

3.1.1 Incoming acceptance

On receipt of the goods, check the following points:
• Check the packaging and the contents for damage.
• Check the shipment, make sure nothing is missing and that the scope of supply matches your
order.

3.1.2 Transport
The following instructions apply to unpacking and to transporting the device to its final location:
• Transport the devices in the containers in which they are delivered.
• The covers or caps fitted to the process connections prevent mechanical damage to the sealing
faces and the ingress of foreign matter to the measuring tube during transportation and storage.
Consequently, do not remove these covers or caps until immediately before installation.
• Do not lift measuring devices of nominal diameters > DN 40 (> 1½") by the transmitter housing
or the connection housing in the case of the remote version (å 4). - Use webbing slings slung
round the two process connections. Do not use chains, as they could damage the housing.
• Promass X, Promass O sensor: see special instructions for transporting ä 13

# Warning!
Risk of injury if the measuring device slips. The center of gravity of the assembled measuring device
might be higher than the points around which the slings are slung.
At all times, therefore, make sure that the device does not unexpectedly turn around its axis or slip.

3.1.3 Storage
Note the following points:
• Pack the measuring device in such a way as to protect it reliably against impact for storage (and
transportation). The original packaging provides optimum protection.
• The permissible storage temperature is –40 to +80 °C (–40 °F to +176 °F), preferably +20 °C
(+68 °F).
• Do not remove the protective covers or caps on the process connections until you are ready to
install the device.
• The measuring device must be protected against direct sunlight during storage in order to avoid
unacceptably high surface temperatures.

Endress+Hauser 13
Installation Proline Promass 83

3.2 Installation conditions

Note the following points:
• No special measures such as supports are necessary. External forces are absorbed by the
construction of the instrument, for example the secondary containment.
• The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the
measuring system is not influenced by pipe vibrations.
• No special precautions need to be taken for fittings which create turbulence (valves, elbows, 
T-pieces, etc.), as long as no cavitation occurs.
• For mechanical reasons and in order to protect the pipe, it is advisable to support heavy sensors.

3.2.1 Dimensions
All the dimensions and lengths of the sensor and transmitter are provided in the separate
documentation "Technical Information"

3.2.2 Mounting location

Entrained air or gas bubbles forming in the measuring tube can result in an increase in measuring
errors. 
Avoid the following locations in the pipe installation:
• Highest point of a pipeline. Risk of air accumulating.
• Directly upstream of a free pipe outlet in a vertical pipeline.

Proline Promass 83 Installation

Installation in a vertical pipe

The proposed configuration in the following diagram, however, permits installation in a vertical
pipeline. Pipe restrictors or the use of an orifice plate with a smaller cross-section than the nominal
diameter prevent the sensor from running empty during measurement.

System pressure
It is important to ensure that cavitation does not occur, because it would influence the oscillation
of the measuring tube. No special measures need to be taken for fluids which have properties similar
to water under normal conditions.
In the case of liquids with a low boiling point (hydrocarbons, solvents, liquefied gases) or in suction
lines, it is important to ensure that pressure does not drop below the vapor pressure and that the
liquid does not start to boil. It is also important to ensure that the gases that occur naturally in many
liquids do not outgas. Such effects can be prevented when system pressure is sufficiently high.
For this reason, the following installation locations are preferred:
• Downstream from pumps (no danger of vacuum)
• At the lowest point in a vertical pipe.

3.2.3 Orientation
Make sure that the direction of the arrow on the nameplate of the sensor matches the direction of
flow direction in which the fluid flows through the pipe.

Orientation Promass A
Vertical
Recommended orientation with direction of flow upwards. When fluid is not flowing, entrained
solids will sink down and gases will rise away from the measuring tube. The measuring tubes can
be completely drained and protected against solids build-up.
Horizontal
When installation is correct the transmitter housing is above or below the pipe. This means that no
gas bubbles or solids deposits can form in the bent measuring tube (single-tube system).

Eccentric Tri-Clamps can be used to ensure complete drainability when the sensor is installed in a
horizontal line. When lines are pitched in a specific direction and at a specific slope, gravity can be
used to achieve complete drainability. The sensor must be installed in the correct position with the
tube bend facing to the side, to ensure full drainability in the horizontal position. Markings on the

3.2.5 Heating
Some fluids require suitable measures to avoid loss of heat at the sensor. Heating can be electric,
e.g. with heated elements, or by means of hot water or steam pipes made of copper or heating
jackets.

" Caution!
• Risk of electronics overheating! Make sure that the maximum permissible ambient temperature
for the transmitter is not exceeded. Consequently, make sure that the adapter between sensor and
transmitter and the connection housing of the remote version always remain free of insulating
material. Note that a certain orientation might be required, depending on the fluid temperature.
ä 16. For fluid temperature of 150°C (302°F) or above the usage of the remote version with
separate connection housing is recommended.
• With a fluid temperature between 200 °C to 350 °C (392 to 662 °F) the remote version of the
high-temperature version is preferable.
• When using electrical heat tracing whose heat is regulated using phase control or by pulse packs,
it cannot be ruled out that the measured values are influenced by magnetic fields which may
occur, (i.e. at values greater than those permitted by the EC standard (Sinus 30 A/m)). In such
cases, the sensor must be magnetically shielded.
The secondary containment can be shielded with tin plates or electric sheets without privileged
direction (e.g. V330-35A) with the following properties:
– Relative magnetic permeability μr  300
– Plate thickness d  0.35 mm (0.014")
• Information on permissible temperature ranges ä 129
• Promass X: Especially under critical climatic conditions it has to be ensured that the temperature
difference between environment and measured medium does not exceed 100 K. Suitable
measures, such as heating or thermal insulation, are to be taken.
Special heating jackets which can be ordered as accessories from Endress+Hauser are available for
the sensors.

Fig. 14: In the case of the Promass F high-temperature version, a maximum insulation thickness of 60 mm (2.4") must
be observed in the area of the electronics/neck.

If the Promass F high-temperature version is installed horizontally (with transmitter head pointing
upwards), an insulation thickness of min. 10 mm (0.4") is recommended to reduce convection. The
maximum insulation thickness of 60 mm (2.4") must be observed.

3.2.7 Inlet and outlet runs

There are no installation requirements regarding inlet and outlet runs. If possible, install the sensor
well clear of fittings such as valves, T-pieces, elbows, etc.

3.2.8 Vibrations
The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the
measuring system is not influenced by pipe vibrations. Consequently, the sensors require no special
measures for attachment.

3.2.9 Limiting flow

5.1.4 Controlling the batching processes using the local display

Filling processes can be controlled directly by means of the local display with the aid of the optional
"(Batching)" software package (F-CHIP, accessories ä 83). Therefore, the device can be fully
deployed in the field as a "batch controller".
Procedure:
1. Configure all the required batching functions and assign the lower display info line (=
BATCHING KEYS) using the "Batch" Quick Setup menu (ä 60) or using the function
matrix (ä 38).
The following "softkeys" then appear on the bottom line of the local display å 30:
– START = left display key (S)
– PRESET = middle display key (O)
– MATRIX = right display key (F)
2. Press the "PRESET (O)" key. Various batching process functions requiring configuration will
now appear on the display:

"PRESET"  Initial settings for the batching process

No. Function Configuration

7200 BATCH SELECTOR OS  Select the batching liquid (BATCH #1 to 6)

7203 BATCH QUANTITY If the "ACCESS CUSTOMER" option was selected for the "PRESET
batch quantity" prompt in the "Batching" Quick Setup, the batching
quantity can be altered via the local display. If the "LOCKED" option
was selected, the batching quantity can only be read and cannot be
altered until the private code has been entered.

7265 RESET TOTAL BATCH SUM/ Resets the batching quantity counter or the total batching quantity to
COUNTER "0".

3. After exiting the PRESET menu, you can now start the batching process by pressing "START
(S)". New softkeys (STOP / HOLD or GO ON) now appear on the display. You can use these
to interrupt, continue or stop the batching process at any time. å 30
STOP (S)  Stops batching process
HOLD (O)  Interrupts batching process (softkey changes to "GO ON")
GO ON (O)  Continues batching process (softkey changes to "HOLD")
After the batch quantity is reached, the "START" or "PRESET" softkeys reappear on the display.

Proline Promass 83 Operation

5.2.1 General notes

The Quick Setup menu contains the default settings that are adequate for commissioning. Complex
measuring operations on the other hand necessitate additional functions that you can configure as
necessary and customize to suit your process parameters. The function matrix, therefore, comprises
a multiplicity of additional functions which, for the sake of clarity, are arranged on a number of
menu levels (blocks, groups, and function groups).
Comply with the following instructions when configuring functions:
• You select functions as described on ä 38.
Each cell in the function matrix is identified by a numerical or letter code on the display.
• You can switch off certain functions (OFF). If you do so, related functions in other function groups
will no longer be displayed.
• Certain functions prompt you to confirm your data entries. Press OS to select "SURE [ YES ]" and
press F to confirm. This saves your setting or starts a function, as applicable.
• Return to the HOME position is automatic if no key is pressed for 5 minutes.
• Programming mode is disabled automatically if you do not press a key within 60 seconds
following automatic return to the HOME position.

" Caution!
All functions are described in detail, as is the function matrix itself, in the "Description of Device
Functions" manual, which is a separate part of these Operating Instructions.

! Note!
• The transmitter continues to measure while data entry is in progress, i.e. the current measured
values are output via the signal outputs in the normal way.
• If the supply voltage fails all preset and parameterized values remain safely stored in the EEPROM.

5.2.2 Enabling the programming mode

The function matrix can be disabled. Disabling the function matrix rules out the possibility of
inadvertent changes to device functions, numerical values or factory settings. A numerical code
(factory setting = 83) has to be entered before settings can be changed.
If you use a code number of your choice, you exclude the possibility of unauthorized persons
accessing data ( see the "Description of Device Functions" manual).
Comply with the following instructions when entering codes:
• If programming is disabled and the P operating elements are pressed in any function, a prompt
for the code automatically appears on the display.
• If "0" is entered as the customer's code, programming is always enabled!
• The Endress+Hauser service organization can be of assistance if you mislay your personal code.

" Caution!
Changing certain parameters such as all sensor characteristics, for example, influences numerous
functions of the entire measuring system, particularly measuring accuracy.
There is no need to change these parameters under normal circumstances and consequently, they
are protected by a special code known only to the Endress+Hauser service organization. Please
contact Endress+Hauser if you have any questions.

5.2.3 Disabling the programming mode

Programming mode is disabled if you do not press an operating element within 60 seconds following
automatic return to the HOME position.
You can also disable programming in the ACCESS CODE function by entering any number (other
than the customer's code).

5.3 Error messages

5.3.1 Type of error

Errors that occur during commissioning or measuring are displayed immediately. If two or more
system or process errors are present, the error with the highest priority is the one shown on the
display.
The measuring system distinguishes between two types of error:
• System error:
Includes all device errors, e.g. communication errors, hardware errors, etc. ä 86
• Process error:
Includes all application errors, e.g. fluid not homogeneous, etc. ä 91

4 Error number: e.g. #702
5 Duration of most recent error occurrence (hours: minutes: seconds)

5.3.2 Error message type

Users have the option of weighting system and process errors differently, by defining them as Fault
messages or Notice messages. You can define messages in this way with the aid of the function
matrix (see the "Description of Device Functions" manual).
Serious system errors, e.g. module defects, are always identified and classed as "fault messages" by
the measuring device.
Notice message (!)
• The error in question has no effect on the current measuring operation and the outputs of the
measuring device.
• Displayed as  Exclamation mark (!), type of error (S: system error, P: process error)
Fault message ( $)
• The error in question interrupts or stops the current measuring operation and has an immediate
effect on the outputs. The response of the outputs (failsafe mode) can be defined by means of
functions in the function matrix. ä 94
• Displayed as  Lightning flash ( $ ), type of error (S: system error, P: process error)

! Note!
• Error conditions can be output via the relay outputs.
• If an error message occurs, an upper or lower signal level for the breakdown information
according to NAMUR 43 can be output via the current output.

Proline Promass 83 Operation

5.3.3 Confirming error messages

For the sake of plant and process safety, the measuring device can be configured in such a way that
fault messages displayed ($) always have to be rectified and acknowledged locally by pressing F.
Only then do the error messages disappear from the display.
This option can be switched on or off by means of the "ACKNOWLEDGE FAULT MESSAGES"
function (see the "Description of Device Functions" manual).

! Note!
• Fault messages ($) can also be reset and confirmed via the status input.
• Notice messages (!) do not require acknowledgment. Note, however, that they remain visible
until the cause of the error has been rectified.

5.4 Communication
In addition to local operation, the measuring device can be configured and measured values can be
obtained by means of the HART protocol. Digital communication takes place using the 4-20 mA
current output HART. ä 30
The HART protocol allows the transfer of measuring and device data between the HART master and
the field devices for configuration and diagnostics purposes. The HART master, e.g. a handheld
terminal or PC-based operating programs (such as FieldCare), require device description (DD) files
which are used to access all the information in a HART device. Information is exclusively transferred
using so-called "commands". There are three different command groups:
There are three different command groups:
• Universal Commands
Universal commands are supported and used by all HART devices. These are associated with the
following functionalities for example:
– Recognizing HART devices
– Reading digital measured values (volume flow, totalizer, etc.)
• Common practice commands:
Common practice commands offer functions which are supported and can be executed by most
but not all field devices.
• Device-specific commands:
These commands allow access to device-specific functions which are not HART standard. Such
commands access individual field device information, amongst other things, such as empty/full
pipe calibration values, low flow cut off settings, etc.

The measuring device has access to all three command classes.

5.4.1 Operating options

For the complete operation of the measuring device, including device-specific commands, there are
DD files available to the user to provide the following operating aids and programs:

! Note!
• In the CURRENT RANGE function (current output 1), the HART protocol demands the setting
"4-20 mA HART" or "4-20 mA (25 mA) HART".
• HART write protection can be disabled or enabled by means of a jumper on the I/O board.

Severely pulsating flow

Once several device functions have been configured in the "Pulsating flow" Quick Setup menu, flow
fluctuations of this nature can be compensated over the entire flow range and pulsating fluid flows
measured correctly. You will find detailed instructions on how to use this Quick Setup menu below.

! Note!
It is always advisable to work through the "Pulsating flow" Quick Setup menu if there is any
uncertainty about the exact flow characteristic.

Slightly pulsating flow

If flow fluctuations are no more than minor, as is the case, for example with gear-type, three-
cylinder or multi-cylinder pumps, it is not absolutely necessary to work through the Quick Setup
menu.
In cases of this nature, however, it is advisable to adapt the functions listed below (see the
"Description of Device Functions" manual) to suit local process conditions in order to ensure a
stable, unvarying output signal. This applies in particular to the current output:

• Measuring system damping: FLOW DAMPING function  increase value

• Current output damping: TIME CONSTANT function  increase the value

6.3.3 "Batching" Quick Setup menu

This Quick Setup menu guides you systematically through the setup procedure for all the device
functions that have to be parameterized and configured for batching operation. These basic settings
allow simple (one step) batching processes.
Additional settings, e.g. for the calculation of after runs or for multi-stage batching procedures, must
be made via the function matrix itself (see the "Description of Device Functions" manual).

" Caution!
The "Batching" Quick Setup sets certain device parameters for discontinuous measurement
operation.
If the measuring instrument is used for continuous flow measurement at a later time, we
recommend at you rerun the "Commissioning" and/or "Pulsating Flow" Quick Setup.

! Note!
• Before carrying out the Quick Setup "Batching" the Quick Setup "Commissioning" has to be
executed. ä 55
• This function is only available when the additional "batching" software is installed in the
measuring device (order option). You can order this software from E+H as an accessory at a later
date. ä 83
• You can find detailed information on the batching functions in the separate "Description of Device
Functions" manual".
• You can also directly control filling process using the local display. During Quick Setup, an
appropriate dialog appears concerning the automatic display configuration. Acknowledge this by
clicking "YES".
This assigns special batching functions (START, PRESET, MATRIX) to the bottom line of the
display. These can be directly executed onsite using the three operating keys ( O / S / F ).
Therefore, the measuring device can be fully deployed in the field as a "batch controller". ä 37

6.3.4 "Gas Measurement" Quick Setup menu

The measuring device is not only suitable for measuring liquid flow. Direct mass measurement
based on the Coriolis principle is also possible for measuring the flow rate of gases.

! Note!
• Before carrying out the Quick Setup "Gas measurement" the Quick Setup "Commissioning" has
to be executed. ä 55 ä 58
• Only mass and Corrected volume flow can be measured and output with the gas measurement
mode. Note that direct density and/or volume measurement is not possible!
• The flow ranges and measuring accuracy that apply to gas measurement are not the same as those
for liquids.
• If corrected volume flow (e.g. in Nm/h) is to be measured and output instead of the mass flow
(e.g. in kg/h), change the setting for the CORRECTED VOLUME CALCULATION function to
"FIXED REFERENCE DENSITY" in the "Commissioning" Quick Setup menu.
Corrected volume flow can be assigned as follows:
– to a display line,
– to the current output,
– to the pulse/frequency output.

6.3.5 Data backup/transmission

Using the T-DAT SAVE/LOAD function, you can transfer data (device parameters and settings)
between the T-DAT (exchangeable memory) and the EEPROM (device storage unit).
This is required in the following instances:
• Creating a backup: current data are transferred from an EEPROM to the T-DAT.
• Replacing a transmitter: current data are copied from an EEPROM to the T-DAT and then
transferred to the EEPROM of the new transmitter.
• Duplicating data: current data are copied from an EEPROM to the T-DAT and then transferred to
EEPROMs of identical measuring points.

6.4.4 Concentration measurement

The measuring device determines three primary variables simultaneously:
• Mass flow
• Fluid density
• Fluid temperature
As standard, these measured variables allow other process variables to be calculated, such as volume
flow, reference density (density at reference temperature) and corrected volume flow.
The optional software package "Concentration measurement" (F-Chip, accessories) offers a
multitude of additional density functions. Additional evaluation methods are available in this way,
especially for special density calculations in all types of applications: ä 83
• Calculating percentage contents, mass and volume flow in two-phase media (carrier fluid and
target fluid),
• Converting density of the fluid into special density units (°Brix, °Baumé, °API, etc.).

Concentration measurement with fixed calculation function

By means of the DENSITY FUNCTION (7000) function, you can select various density functions
which use a fixed specified calculation mode for calculating concentration:

Density function Remarks

%-MASS By using the functions for two-phase-media, it is possible to calculate the percentage mass or
%-VOLUME volume contents of the carrier fluid or the target fluid. The basic equations (without temperature
compensation) are:

D2 · ( – D1)
Mass [%] = ·100%
 ·(D2 – D1)
a0004610-en

( – D1)
Volume [%] = ·100%
(D2 – D1)
a0004619-en

D1 = density of carrier fluid (transporting liquid, e.g. water)

D2 = density of target fluid (material transported, e.g. lime powder or a second liquefied material
to be measured)
 = measured overall density
°BRIX Density unit used for the Food & Beverage industry which deals with the saccharose content of
aqueous solutions, e.g. for measuring solutions containing sugar such as fruit juice, etc.
The following ICUMSA table for Brix units is the basis for calculations within the device.

°BAUME This density unit or scale is mainly used for acidic solutions, e.g. ferric chloride solutions.
Two Baumé scales are used in practice:
– BAUME > 1 kg/l: for solutions heavier than water
– BAUME < 1 kg/l: for solutions lighter than water

°BALLING Both units are a commonly used basis for calculating the fluid density in the brewery industry. A
°PLATO liquid with a value of 1° BALLING (Plato) has the same fluid density as a water/cane sugar
solution consisting of 1 kg cane sugar dissolved in 99 kg of water. 1° Balling (Plato) is thus 1% of
the liquid weight.

%-BLACK LIQUOR The units of concentration used in the paper industry for black liquor in % by mass. The formula
used for the calculation is the same as for %-MASS.

°API °API (= American Petroleum Institute)

Density units specifically used in North America for liquefied oil products.

Concentration measurement with flexible calculation function

Under certain application conditions, it may not be possible to use density functions with a fixed
calculation function (% mass, °Brix, etc.). However, user-specific or application-specific
concentration calculations can be used with the "FLEXIBLE" setting in the function
DENSITY FUNCTION (7000).
The following types of calculation can be selected in function MODE (7021):
• % MASS 3D
• % VOLUME 3D
• % MASS 2D
• % VOLUME 2D
• OTHER 3D
• OTHER 2D

Calculation type "% MASS 3D" or "% VOLUME 3D"

For this type of calculation, the relationship between the three variables - concentration, density and
temperature must be known (3-dimensional), e.g. by a table. In this way, the concentration can be
calculated from the measured density and temperature values by means of the following formula
(the coefficients AO, A1, etc. have to be determined by the user):

6.4.5 Advanced diagnostic functions

Changes to the measuring system, e.g. coating buildup or corrosion and abrasion on the measuring
tubes can be detected at an early stage by means of the optional software package "Advanced
Diagnostics" (F-Chip, accessories ä 83). Normally, these influences reduce the measuring
accuracy of the system or may lead to serious system errors.
By means of the diagnostic functions it is now possible to record various process and device
parameters during operation, e.g. mass flow, density/reference density, temperature values,
measuring tube damping etc.
By analyzing the trend of these measured values, deviations of the measuring system from a
"reference status" can be detected in good time and corrective measures can be taken.

Reference values as the basis for trend analysis

Reference values of the parameters in question must always be recorded for trend analysis. These
reference values are determined under reproducible, constant conditions. Such reference values are
initially recorded during calibration at the factory and saved in the measuring device.
Reference data can also be ascertained under customer-specific process conditions, e.g. during
commissioning or at certain process stages (cleaning cycles, etc.).
Reference values are recorded and saved in the measuring system always by means of the device
function REFERENCE CONDITION USER (7401).

" Caution!
It is not possible to analyze the trend of process/device parameters without reference values!
Reference values can only be determined under constant, non-changing process conditions.

Methods of ascertaining data

Process and device parameters can be recorded in two different ways which you can define in the
function ACQUISITION MODE (7410):
• PERIODICAL option: Measuring device acquires data periodically. Enter the desired time interval
by means of the function ACQUISITION PERIOD (7411).
• SINGLE SHOT option: The user himself acquires the data manually at different, free selectable
periods.
Ensure that the process conditions always correspond to the reference status when data is being
recorded. It is only in this way that deviations from the reference status can be clearly determined.

! Note!
The last ten entries are retained in chronological order in the measuring system.
The "history" of such values can be called up via various functions:

Diagnosis parameters Data saved (per parameter)

Mass flow Reference value REFERENCE VALUE function

Density Lowest measured value  MINIMUM VALUE function
Reference density Highest measured value  MAXIMUM VALUE function
Temperature List of the last ten measured values  HISTORY function
Measuring tube damping Deviation measured/reference value  ACTUAL DEVIATION function
Sensor symmetry
Operating frequency fluctuation
Tube damping fluctuation

More detailed information can be found in the "Description of Device Functions" manual.

Endress+Hauser 75
Commissioning Proline Promass 83

Triggering warning messages

If required, a limit value can be assigned to all the process/device parameters relevant to the
diagnostic functions. A warning message is triggered if this limit value is exceeded  function
WARNING MODE (7403).
The limit value is entered into the measuring system as an absolute (+/-) or relative deviation from
the reference value  function WARNING LEVEL (74…).
Deviations arising and recorded by the measuring system can also be output via the current or relay
outputs.

Data interpretation
The way the data recorded by the measuring system is interpreted depends largely on the
application in question. This means that users must have a very good knowledge of their specific
process conditions and the related deviation tolerances in the process, which have to be determined
by the users themselves in each individual case.
For example, when using the limit function it is especially important to know the minimum and
maximum deviation tolerances allowed. Otherwise there is the danger that a warning message is
triggered inadvertently during "normal" process fluctuations.
There can be various reasons for deviating from the reference status. The following table provides
examples and pointers for each of the six diagnosis parameters recorded:

Diagnosis parameters Possible reasons for deviation

Mass flow A deviation from the reference status indicates possible zero point shift.
Density A deviation from the reference status can be caused by a change in the measuring tube
resonance frequency, e.g. from deposits in the measuring tube, corrosion or abrasion.

Reference density The reference density values can be interpreted in the same way as the density values. If
the fluid temperature cannot be kept completely constant, you can analyze the reference
density (density at a constant temperature, e.g. at 20 °C) instead of the density.
Ensure that the parameters required for calculating the reference density have been
correctly configured (functions REFERENCE TEMPERATURE and EXPANSION COEFF.).

Temperature Use this diagnosis parameter to check the functionality of the PT 100 temperature sensor.

Measuring tube damping A deviation from the reference status can be caused by a change in measuring tube
damping, e.g. from mechanical changes (coating buildup, corrosion, abrasion).

Sensor symmetry Use this diagnosis parameter to determine whether the sensor signals are symmetrical.

Operating frequency A deviation in the operating frequency fluctuation indicates possible gas content in the
fluctuation medium.

Tube damping fluctuation A deviation in the tube damping fluctuation indicates possible gas content in the medium.

6.5 Adjustment

6.5.1 Zero point adjustment

All measuring devices are calibrated with state-of-the-art technology. The zero point obtained in
this way is printed on the nameplate. 
Calibration takes place under reference operating conditions ä 108
Consequently, the zero point adjustment is generally not necessary!
Experience shows that the zero point adjustment is advisable only in special cases:
• To achieve highest measuring accuracy also at very small flow rates.
• Under extreme process or operating conditions (e.g. very high process temperatures or very high
viscosity fluids).

Preconditions for a zero point adjustment

Note the following before you perform a zero point adjustment:
• A zero point adjustment can be performed only with fluids that contain no gas or solid contents.
• Zero point adjustment is performed with the measuring tubes completely filled and at zero flow
(v = 0 m/s). This can be achieved, for example, with shutoff valves upstream and/or downstream
of the sensor or by using existing valves and gates.
– Normal operation  Valves 1 and 2 open
– Zero point adjustment with pump pressure  Valve 1 open / valve 2 closed
– Zero point adjustment without pump pressure  Valve 1 closed / valve 2 open

a0003601

Fig. 45: Zero point adjustment and shutoff valves

" Caution!
• If the fluid is very difficult to measure (e.g. containing entrained solids or gas) it may prove
impossible to obtain a stable zero point despite repeated zero point adjustments. In instances of
this nature, please contact your E+H service center.
• You can view the currently valid zero point value using the ZERO POINT function (see the
"Description of Device Functions" manual).

6.5.2 Density adjustment

It is advisable to perform a density adjustment when optimum measuring accuracy is required for
calculating density dependent values. The application may require a 1-point or 2-point density
adjustment.
1-point density adjustment (with one fluid):
This type of density adjustment is necessary under the following circumstances:
• The sensor does not measure exactly the density value that the user expects on the basis of
laboratory analyses.
• The fluid properties are outside the measuring points set at the factory, or the reference operating
conditions used to calibrate the measuring device.
• The system is used exclusively to measure a fluid’s density which must be registered to a high
degree of accuracy under constant conditions.
Example: Brix density measurement for apple juice.
2-point density adjustment (with two fluids):
This type of adjustment is always to be carried out if the measuring tubes have been mechanically
altered by, e.g. material buildup, abrasion or corrosion. In such cases, the resonant frequency of the
measuring tubes has been affected by these factors and is no longer compatible with the calibration
data set at the factory. The 2-point density adjustment takes these mechanically-based changes into
account and calculates new, adjusted calibration data.

Performing a 1-point or 2-point density adjustment

" Caution!
• Onsite density adjustment can be performed only if the user has detailed knowledge of the fluid
density, obtained for example from detailed laboratory analyses.
• The target density value specified in this way must not deviate from the measured fluid density
by more than ±10%.
• An error in defining the target density affects all calculated density and volume functions.
• The 2-point density adjustment is only possible if both target density values are different from
each other by at least 0.2 kg/l. Otherwise the error message #731 (adjustment is not possible)
appears in the "Diag. - Act. Sys. Condition" parameter.
• Density adjustment changes the factory density calibration values or the calibration values set by
the service technician.
• The functions outlined in the following instructions are described in detail in the "Description of
Device Functions" manual.
1. Fill the sensor with fluid. Make sure that the measuring tubes are completely filled and that
liquids are free of gas bubbles.
2. Wait until the temperature difference between fluid and measuring tube has equalized. The
time you have to wait for equalization depends on the fluid and the temperature level.
3. Using the local display, select the SETPOINT DENSITY function in the function matrix and
perform density adjustment as follows:

# Warning!
• Make sure that the function and operation of the rupture disk is not impeded through the
installation. Triggering overpressure in the housing as stated on the indication label. Take
adequate precautions to ensure that no damage occurs, and risk to human life is ruled out, if the
rupture disk is triggered.
Rupture disk: Burst pressure 10 to 15 bar (145 to 218 psi)
(Promass X: 5,5 to 6,5 bar (80 to 94 psi))
• Please note that the housing can no longer assume a secondary containment function if a rupture
disk is used.
• It is not permitted to open the connections or remove the rupture disk.

" Caution!
• Rupture disks can not be combined with separately available heating jacket (except Promass A).
• The existing connection nozzles are not designed for a rinse or pressure monitoring function.

! Note!
• Before commissioning, please remove the transport protection of the rupture disk.
• Please note the indication labels.

6.7 Purge and pressure monitoring connections

The sensor housing protects the inner electronics and mechanics and is filled with dry nitrogen.
Beyond that, up to a specified measuring pressure it additionally serves as secondary containment.

# Warning!
For a process pressure above the specified containment pressure, the housing does not serve as an
additional secondary containment. In case a danger of measuring tube failure exists due to process
characteristics, e.g. with corrosive process fluids, we recommend the use of sensors whose housing
is equipped with special pressure monitoring connections (ordering option). With the help of these
connections, fluid collected in the housing in the event of tube failure can be drained off. This
diminishes the danger of mechanical overload of the housing, which could lead to a housing failure
and accordingly is connected with an increased danger potential. These connections can also be
used for gas purging (gas detection).
The following instructions apply to handling sensors with purge or pressure monitoring connections:
• Do not open the purge connections unless the containment can be filled immediately with a dry
inert gas.
• Use only low gauge pressure to purge. Maximum pressure 5 bar (72,5 psi).

6.8 Data memory (HistoROM), F-CHIP

At Endress+Hauser, the term HistoROM refers to various types of data storage modules on which
process and measuring device data is stored. By plugging and unplugging such modules, device
configurations can be duplicated onto other measuring devices to cite just one example.

6.8.1 HistoROM/S-DAT (sensor-DAT)

The S-DAT is an exchangeable data memory in which all sensor relevant parameters are stored, i.e.,
diameter, serial number, calibration factor, zero point.

6.8.2 HistoROM/T-DAT (transmitter-DAT)

The T-DAT is an exchangeable data storage device in which all transmitter parameters and settings
are stored.
Storing of specific parameter settings from the EEPROM to the T-DAT and vice versa has to be
carried out by the user (= manual save function). Detailed instructions regarding this can be found
on ä 66.

6.8.3 F-CHIP (Function-Chip)

The F-Chip is a microprocessor chip that contains additional software packages that extend the
functionality and application possibilities of the transmitter.
In the case of a later upgrade, the F-Chip can be ordered as an accessory and can simply be plugged
on to the I/O board. After start up, the software is immediately made available to the transmitter.
Accessories ä 83
Plugging on to the I/O board Page 94 ff.

" Caution!
To ensure an unambiguous assignment, the F-CHIP is coded with the transmitter serial number
once it is plugged in. Thus, it can not be reused with other measuring devices.

7.1 Exterior cleaning

When cleaning the exterior of measuring devices, always use cleaning agents that do not attack the
surface of the housing and the seals.

7.2 Cleaning with pigs (Promass H, I, S, P)

If pigs are used for cleaning, it is essential to take the inside diameters of measuring tube and process
connection into account, see Technical Information ä 148.

7.3 Replacing seals

Under normal circumstances, fluid wetted seals of the Promass A sensors do not require
replacement. Replacement is necessary only in special circumstances, for example if aggressive or
corrosive fluids are incompatible with the seal material.

" Caution!
Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused through
plastic.
Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be charged
to the owner-operator.
The following steps must be taken before returning a flow measuring device to Endress+Hauser,
e.g. for repair or calibration:
• Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of contamination" form. Only then can
Endress+Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per
EC REACH Regulation No. 1907/2006.
• Remove all residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain residues. This is particularly important if the substance is hazardous to health, e.g.
flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic, etc.

! Note!
You will find a preprinted "Declaration of contamination" form at the back of these Operating

Measuring ranges for gases, general, (except Promass H (Zr))

The full scale values depend on the density of the gas. Use the formula below to calculate the full
scale values:
gmax(G) = gmax(F)  (G) : x [kg/m (lb/ft)]
gmax(G) = Max. full scale value for gas [kg/h (lb/min)]
gmax(F) = Max. full scale value for liquid [kg/h (lb/min)]
(G) = Gas density in [kg/m (lb/ft)] for process conditions
Here, gmax(G) can never be greater than gmax(F)

Calculation example for gas:

• Sensor type: Promass F, DN 50
• Gas: air with a density of 60.3 kg/m³ (at 20 °C and 50 bar)
• Measuring range (liquid): 70 000 kg/h
• x = 90 (for Promass F DN 50)
Max. possible full scale value:
gmax(G) = gmax(F) · (G) ÷ x [kg/m³] = 70 000 kg/h · 60.3 kg/m³ ÷ 90 kg/m³ = 46 900 kg/h

Recommended full scale values

See Page 127 ff. ("Limiting flow")

Operable flow range Greater than 1000 : 1. Flows above the preset full scale value do not overload the amplifier, i.e.

Limiting flow See the "Measuring range" section Page 101 ff.
Select nominal diameter by optimizing between required flow range and permissible pressure loss.
See the "Measuring range" section for a list of max. possible full scale values.
• The minimum recommended full scale value is approx. 1/20 of the max. full scale value.
• In most applications, 20 to 50% of the maximum full scale value can be considered ideal.
• Select a lower full scale value for abrasive substances such as liquids with entrained solids 
(flow velocity < 1 m/s (3 ft/s)).
• For gas measurement the following rules apply:
– Flow velocity in the measuring tubes should not be more than half the sonic velocity
(0.5 Mach).
– The maximum mass flow depends on the density of the gas: formula ä 105

Pressure loss (SI units) Pressure loss depends on the properties of the fluid and on its flow. The following formulas can be
used to approximately calculate the pressure loss:

Pressure loss (US units) Pressure loss is dependent on fluid properties nominal diameter. Consult Endress+Hauser for
Applicator PC software to determine pressure loss in US units. All important instrument data is
contained in the Applicator software program in order to optimize the design of measuring system.
The software is used for following calculations:
• Nominal diameter of the sensor with fluid characteristics such as viscosity, density, etc.
• Pressure loss downstream of the measuring point.
• Converting mass flow to volume flow, etc.
• Simultaneous display of various meter size.
• Determining measuring ranges.
The Applicator runs on any IBM compatible PC with windows.

10.1.12 Certificates and approvals

CE mark The measuring system is in conformity with the statutory requirements of the EC Directives.
Endress+Hauser confirms successful testing of the device by affixing to it the CE mark.

C-tick mark The measuring system meets the EMC requirements of the "Australian Communications and Media
Authority (ACMA)".

Ex approval Information about currently available Ex versions (ATEX, FM, CSA, IECEx, NEPSI) can be supplied
by your Endress+Hauser Sales Center on request. All explosion protection data are given in a
separate documentation which is also available upon request.

Sanitary compatibility • 3A authorization (all measuring systems, except Promass H, O and X)

• EHEDG-tested (all measuring systems, except Promass E, H, O and X)

Pressure measuring device The measuring devices can be ordered with or without PED (Pressure Equipment Directive). If a
approval device with PED is required, this must be ordered explicitly. For devices with nominal diameters
less than or equal to DN 25 (1"), this is neither possible nor necessary.
• With the identification PED/G1/III on the sensor nameplate, Endress+Hauser confirms
conformity with the "Basic safety requirements" of Appendix I of the Pressure Equipment
Directive 97/23/EC.
• Devices with this identification (with PED) are suitable for the following types of fluid:
– Fluids of Group 1 and 2 with a steam pressure of greater or less than 0.5 bar (7.3 psi)
– Unstable gases
• Devices without this identification (without PED) are designed and manufactured according to
good engineering practice. They correspond to the requirements of Art. 3, Section 3 of the
Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC. Their application is illustrated in Diagrams 6 to 9 in
Appendix II of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
