3095MV Calibration Procedure Using Meriam Process Technologies MFT 4010 Multifunction Calibrator / HART Communicator

All 3095MV devices should initially be configured using the AMS MV Engineering Assistant Software from Emerson Rosemount. Engineering Assistant provides full configuration of the device for flow algorithms and media properties required by the 3095MV for flow calculation. These functions are beyond the scope of any handheld HART communicator.

The following procedures assume the user has knowledge of the Rosemount 3095MV and Instruction Manual as well as the Meriam MFT 4010 and Instruction Manual. The procedures also assume that the user has prepared the subject 3095MV for calibration activities including, but not limited to, initial configuration using Engineering Assistant, isolating the device from the process, opening vent valves, installing pressure connection fitting(s) and removing transmitter cover for access to the device terminals for loop current and HART connections. The definition of calibration as used in this procedure is the process of ascertaining the error of a device by comparing the device output reading against an appropriate reference standard and correcting that error using the trim functions available in the device. Typically this calibration will consist of documenting the as-found condition, then using the necessary trim functions to return an out of tolerance device to in tolerance condition and finally documenting the as-left condition of the device. The Rosemount 3095MV measures differential pressure, static pressure (gauge or absolute per factory configuration) and temperature (Pt 100 only with = 0.00385) in order to calculate flow rate and total flow from a head type flow meter (orifice plate, venturi, averaging pitot tube, etc.). The 3095MV has a digital sensor side and an analog output side, both of which have trim commands that are initiated by a HART communicator. This makes the calibration of a multivariable transmitter more complicated than that of single variable transmitters. Not only are three calibrations

required, but also each measured parameter must alternately be assigned as the Primary Variable (PV) before calibration of the individual parameter can begin. The Meriam Process Technologies model MFT 4010 is uniquely qualified to calibrate multivariable transmitters. First, it is a 3-bay modular calibrator capable of measuring DP, P (absolute or gauge with appropriate modules), T and voltage or current using its own NIST traceable sensor modules. These sensors provide the comparison values needed to determine the error of the subject transmitter measurements and whether they originate in the sensor side or in the analog side of the 3095MV. Secondly, the MFT 4010 is also a HART communicator with full device specific command support for the Rosemount 3095MV. All HART functions can be initiated from the MFT. Consult the attached Menu Tree for MFT 4010 Communicator / Rosemount 3095MV HART Transmitter for helpful menu map information. Finally, because the MFT 4010 combines the features of both calibrator and communicator, unique interfaces allow the user to (1) view the HART reported PV and AO, (2) measure the actual values of these parameters using the MFTs sensors, and (3) directly access the HART trim commands needed to correct the 3095MV. The One Tool approach of the MFT 4010 means that field users can carry just one instrument to calibrate the 3095MV instead of five separate devices (HART communicator, DP standard, P standard, T standard and V / mA meter). MFT / 3095MV preparations 1. Determine the appropriate sensor modules for the calibration task and install them in the MFT. Connect an RTD probe to the RTD1000 measurement module if used. 2. Turn the MFT On; display cycles to Measure Mode. 3. Zero the sensor modules using the left hand soft key before making any pressure or electrical connections. Temperature measurements on the display will not be zeroed out. 4. Isolate the subject 3095MV from the process 5. Vent and drain (if necessary) the subject 3095MV using the drain ports 6. Using appropriate tubing, connectors and tee fitting(s), connect the MFTs sensor, the pressure source and 3095MVs pressure or vent port(s) as needed for the procedure of interest. a. See the attachment or the MFT Instruction Manual for sample diagrams b. Consult the 3095MV Manual for special instructions that may be required i. Example 1: DP calibration tubing connects only to the High side of subject 3095MV; Low side is vented to atmosphere ii. Example 2: SP (AP or GP) calibration tubing connects to BOTH the High side and the Low side of the subject 3095MV c. Make sure there are no leaks in the test system tubing or fittings 7. Remove the 3095MVs terminal side threaded cap 8. Use a standard test lead set to connect the MFTs mA jacks (as required) in series with the 3095MVs 2-wire loop 9. Verify the MFT is reading loop current if not, trouble shoot electrical connections

Assigning Variables as PV Using HART key or Calibrate key on MFT

Field calibration of a multi-variable transmitter requires that each variable (DP, SP and PT [either AP or GP depending on model configuration]) be assigned as PV for calibration of that particular measurement aspect of the multi-variable transmitter. The MFT 4010 allows this to be accomplished in either of two ways. The following steps provide the needed menu detail. Using the HART key 12. Press the HART key on MFT to establish communication with the subject 3095MV. An initial screen will appear showing the initial menu choice and Primary Variable (PV) information HART 3095MV: FT-10321 Device setup Flo R: 2867.10 lb / min A01: 6.28 mA Flow LRV: 0.00 lb/min Flow URV: 24000 lb/min

13. Manually assign a Variable (DP, SP, PT or Flo) to be the Primary Variable (PV). The PV is that variable assigned to be the Analog Output (AO) from the 3095MV. 14. Review screen from #12 above. The Variable featured on the initial display after pressing the HART key is the current PV. 15. If the desired variable is not shown, make the following menu selections to assign the desired Variable as PV. a.

Selecting DP Trim, SP Trim or PT Trim will automatically change the PV assignment to the variable selected. For example, selecting SP Trim will assign SP (either Gauge Pressure or Absolute Pressure depending on the transmitter) as PV. All HART commands necessary to complete this re-assignment are carried out invisible to the user. 20.
