Siemens SITRANS F - Force Transmit Procedure

Section 2
To complete the Install process, disregard the following prargraphs explaining the Force Trans-
mit and Force Frequency diagnostic software routines.
NOTE: If the transducers have been installed successfully but the Estimated Vs (sonic velocity)
has been changed, the Pick/Install Xdcr menu cell [Install Completed?] option list will
also display the [Transfer Install] function selection. The Transfer Install function allows
the transducers to be optimally positioned for a different fluid, without the need for a
new Initial Makeup procedure (see the Water Calibration addendum in this manual for
details).
Force Transmit Procedure
This diagnostic software routine allows the user to “force” a transmitting condition that can be use to
search for an amplitude level (ALC) when Detection Fault or Low Signal alarms are present. The routine
forces the flowmeter to generate constant transmit bursts while reporting current receive signal strength
for the user. To initiate the Force Transmit function, refer to the example shown below.
1. After [Install] is selected press <ENT>. While the meter is going through the drives (see menu
screen below), press the <ALT> and <MENU> keys simultaneously.
