IMPORTANT
The information of transmitter configuration in
the chapter 8 is specific to HART Communication
type. For other Communication type except
HART Communication Type, refer to each
communication manuals.
8.1 Preparation for Starting
Operation
This section describes the operation procedure for
the EJX multivariable transmitter as shown in figure
8.1 (vertical impulse piping type, high-pressure
connection: right side) when measuring the liquid
flow rate.
NOTE
Check that the process pressure tap valves,
drain valves, and 3-valve manifold stop valves
on both the low pressure and high pressure
sides are closed, and that the 3-valve manifold
equalizing valve is opened.
(a) Follow the procedures below to introduce
process pressure into the impulse piping and
transmitter.
■ Multivariable Transmitters
1) Open the low pressure and high pressure tap
valves to fill the impulse piping with process
liquid.
2) Slowly open the high pressure stop valve to fill
the transmitter pressure-detector section with
process liquid.
3) Close the high pressure stop valve.
4) Gradually open the low pressure stop valve and
completely fill the transmitter pressure-detector
section with process liquid.
5) Close the low pressure stop valve.
6) Gradually open the high pressure stop valve. At
this time, equal pressure is applied to the low
and high pressure sides of the transmitter.
7) Check that there are no liquid leaks in the
impulse piping, 3-valve manifold, transmitter, or
other components.
Venting Gas from the Transmitter Pressure-
detector Section
• Since the piping in the example of figure 8.1
is constructed to be self-venting, no venting
operation is required. If it is not possible to
make the piping self-venting, refer to subsection
8.5 for instructions. Leave the equalizing valve
open even after venting gas.
(b) Turn ON power and connect the communicator.
Open the terminal box cover, and connect
the communicator to the SUPPLY + and
– terminals.
(c) Using the communicator, confirm that the
transmitter is operating properly. Check
parameter values or change the setpoints as
necessary.
See IM 01C25R02-01E (HART communication)
for communicator operation.
If the transmitter is equipped with an integral
indicator, its indication can be used to confirm
that the transmitter is operating properly.
