SECTION 4.0: START-UP & COMMISSIONING FOR ONICON
INLINE THERMAL MASS FLOW METERS
4.1 DISPLAY
The F-5100 flow meter features a bright easy-to-read
graphic LED display that displays alphanumeric and
graphical data.
This display is provided with a screen saver function
that extends the life of the display. The display will
revert to the normal display mode whenever the
proximity sensor detects movement directly in front
of the meter.
Displayed Information:
1. Energy reading used to valid calibration
2. Graphical indication of percentage of full
scale flow rate
3. Flow rate
4. Flow total
5. Fluid temperature
6. Engineering units associated with flow rate and total
7. LED’s for Power, Serial Communications, and Pulse Output
4.2 POWERING THE METER
Upon initial power up, the meter will indicate ONICON F-5000 Series along with the current
firmware version and the serial number. Two additional messages will be displayed and then the
meter will advance to the normal run mode screen. If the meter is installed in a pipe with flow,
the meter will begin displaying flow and temperature data. After one minute of no movement,
the screen saver message will appear.
4.3 HELPFUL HINTS FOR START-UP & COMMISSIONING
A step-by-step procedure and companion worksheet are located on the next two pages. Please
read all installation instructions carefully before proceeding with start-up and commissioning.
Please read these helpful hints before proceeding with the start-up and commissioning procedure
on the next page.
1. When measuring analog output signals, remember that current (mA) must be measured
in series, while voltage is measured in parallel. If the 4-20 mA signal is already connected
to a control system, you must break the connection and measure the signal in series.
2. Do not attempt to rotate the electronics enclosure on the stem.
3. Never connect power to analog or pulse output signal wires. Standard ONICON F-5100
Flow Meters are not configured from the factory as “loop powered” devices.
