Emerson Micro Motion 1600 - 2.8 Characterize the meter (if required)

c) Set Message to any desired message.
d) Verify that Model Code (Base) is set to the base model code of the transmitter.
The base model code completely describes your transmitter, except for the features that can be
licensed independently. The base model code is set at the factory.
e) Set Model Code (Options) to the options model code of the transmitter.
The options model code describes the independent features that have been licensed for this
transmitter. The original options model code is set at the factory. If you license additional options
for this transmitter, Emerson will supply an updated options model code.
For a field communicator, configuring model code options is not available for this release.
2. Set informational parameters for the sensor.
a) Set Sensor Serial Number to the serial number of the sensor connected to this transmitter.
The sensor serial number is provided on the metal tag that is attached to the sensor case.
b) Set Sensor Material to the material used for the sensor.
c) Set Flange Type to the type of flange that was used to install the sensor.
Sensor Type is set or derived during characterization.

Characterizing the meter adjusts the 1600 transmitter to match the unique traits of the sensor it is paired with.
The characterization parameters (also called calibration parameters) describe the sensor’s sensitivity to flow,
density, and temperature. Depending on your sensor type, different parameters are required.
Values for your sensor are provided on the sensor tag or the calibration certificate.
• If your transmitter was ordered with a sensor, it was characterized at the factory. However, you should still
verify the characterization parameters.
• Perform a characterization whenever you replace a core processor or the transmitter.
Note
If the transmitter and sensor are purchased together, you do not need to characterize the meter because this
step was performed at the factory prior to shipping.
Note
The Micro Motion 1600 Transmitter derives Sensor Type from the user-specified values for FCF and K1.
Procedure
1. Set the flow calibration factor: FCF (also called Flow Cal or Flow Calibration Factor). Be sure to include
both decimal points and all zeros.
2. Set the density characterization parameters: D1, D2, TC, K1, K2, and FD. (TC is sometimes shown as DT.)
3. Apply the changes as required by the tool you are using.
