The API referral application must be enabled before you can perform any setup. If the API referral application
was enabled at the factory, you do not need to enable it now.
Prerequisites
The API referral application must be licensed on your transmitter.
Procedure
1. Choose Device Tools > Configuration > Process Measurement > Flow and ensure that Volume Flow
Type is set to Liquid Volume.
2. Choose Device Tools > Configuration > Transmitter Options.
3. If the concentration measurement application is enabled, disable it and click Apply.
The concentration measurement application and the API referral application cannot be enabled
simultaneously.
4. Enable API Referral and click Apply.

Configure API referral using ProLink III
The API referral parameters specify the API table, measurement units, and reference values to be used in
referred density calculations.
Prerequisites
You will need API documentation for the API table that you select.
Depending on your API table, you may need to know the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) for your process
fluid.
You must know the reference temperature and reference pressure that you want to use.
Procedure
1. Choose Device Tools > Configuration > Process Measurement > API Referral.
2. Specify the API table to use to calculate referred density.
Each API table is associated with a specific set of equations.
a) Set Process Fluid to the API table group that your process fluid belongs to.
