6. Operation
After the installation of sensor into process piping, the 
wiring of input/output terminals, the conguration of 
required parameters, and the zero adjustment prior to 
peration, the owmeter outputs a ow signal from its 
terminals as soon as the uid is sent in the pipe.
CAUTION
If any damages, such as cracks, breakage or 
destruction on the glass of the display occurs, stop 
using it  and replace the cover. If it is used with 
damaged glass, it may cause injury, electric shock, 
malfunction, and specied  protection performance of 
the housing is not provided.
6.1  Pre-operation Zero 
Adjustment
Zero adjustment is carried out to ensure that the output 
for zero ow is 0% (i.e., 4 mA). Although adjustment to 
zero is performed at the manufacturing plant prior to 
shipment, this procedure must be carried out once again 
following the installation of piping in order to match the 
magnetic owmeter to its operating conditions.
This section describes the zero adjustment procedure 
using the display unit. For AXFA11, read the applicable 
user’s manual as listed in Table 1.1.
IMPORTANT
•  Zero adjustment should be carried out before actual 
operation. Note that parameter setting or change 
cannot be carried out during execution of zero 
adjustment  (i.e., for approximately 30 seconds).
•  Zero adjustment should only be carried out when 
the sensor has been lled  with measurement uid 
and the uid velocity is completely zero by closing 
the  valve.
•  Each time that the uid being measured is changed, 
be sure to carry out zero adjustment with the new 
uid.
6.2  Zero Adjustment from 
Display Unit
A procedure of executing zero adjustment is as follows;
