Advanced Diagnostics Configuration
6.10.1 Test conditions
SMART Meter Verification can be initiated under three possible test conditions. This parameter
is set at the time that the sensor baseline or SMART Meter Verification test is manually initiated.
No flow
Run the SMART Meter Verification test with a full pipe and no flow in the line. Running the
SMART Meter Verification test under this condition provides the most accurate results and the
best indication of magnetic flowmeter health.
Flowing full
Run the SMART Meter Verification test with a full pipe and flow in the line. Running the SMART
Meter Verification test under this condition provides the ability to verify the magnetic
flowmeter health without shutting down the process flow in applications when a shutdown is
not possible. Running the diagnostic under flowing conditions can cause a false test failure if
there is significant process noise present.
Empty pipe
Run the SMART Meter Verification test with an empty pipe. Running the SMART Meter
Verification test under this condition provides the ability to verify the magnetic flowmeter
health with an empty pipe. Running the verification diagnostic under empty pipe conditions will
not check the electrode circuit health.
6.10.2 Test scope
The manually initiated SMART Meter Verification test can be used to verify the entire flowmeter
installation or individual parts such as the transmitter or sensor. This parameter is set at the time
that the SMART Meter Verification test is manually initiated. There are three test scopes from
which to choose.
All
Run the SMART Meter Verification test and verify the entire flowmeter installation. This
parameter results in the diagnostic performing the transmitter calibration verification, sensor
calibration verification, coil health check, and electrode health check. Transmitter calibration
and sensor calibration are verified to the percentage associated with the test condition selected
when the test was initiated. This setting applies to manually initiated tests only.
Transmitter
Run the SMART Meter Verification test on the transmitter only. This results in the verification
test only checking the transmitter calibration to the limits of the test criteria selected when the
verification test was initiated. This setting applies to manually initiated tests only.
Sensor
Run the SMART Meter Verification test on the sensor only. This results in the verification test
checking the sensor calibration to the limits of the test criteria selected when the SMART Meter
Verification test was initiated, verifying the coil circuit health, and the electrode circuit health.
This setting applies to manually initiated tests only.
