Step 1 Location
Pipe run Micro Motion sensors do not require a straight run of pipe upstream or
downstream.
Cable to transmitter Total length of cable from the sensor to the transmitter must not exceed
1000 feet (300 meters).
CMF300A junction box The CMF300A high-temperature sensor comes with a 32-inch (812 mm)
pre-installed flexible conduit. This conduit is required for agency
approval (e.g., UL, CSA, CENELEC, etc.). A factory-supplied junction
box is connected to the end of this cable by the factory. The junction box
provides an exterior ground to the sensor and houses the terminal strip
for the flowmeter cable.
CMF400 booster amplifier The CMF400 booster amplifier must remain between 40 and 140F
(40 to 60C). If ambient and radiant heat will cause the CMF400
booster amplifier to fall outside these temperature limits, a remotely
mounted booster amplifier assembly is necessary. Consult the factory
for remote-mount booster amplifier information.
Valves After the sensor and transmitter have been fully installed, you must
perform the zeroing procedure. During the zeroing procedure, flow
through the sensor must be halted and the sensor tubes must be
completely full of process fluid. A shutoff valve, downstream from the
sensor, is recommended to halt flow during the zeroing procedure. For
more information about zeroing, see page 29.
Keys for sensor location
The sensor may be located anywhere in the process line, as long as
the following conditions are met:
Before operation, you must be able to stop flow through the sensor.
(During the zeroing procedure, flow must be stopped completely, and
the sensor must be full of process fluid.)
During operation, the sensor must remain full of process fluid.
The sensor must be installed in an area that is compatible with the
classification specified on the sensor approvals tag. (See
illustrations, pages 1-3.)

Location continued
Hazardous area installations To comply with requirements for an intrinsically safe (I.S.)
installation, you must use one of the following Micro Motion I.S.
installation instruction manuals, in addition to this manual, when
installing the sensor in a hazardous area. An I.S. manual is shipped with
an approved flowmeter:
UL-D-IS Installation Instructions
For UL-approved flowmeters
UL is a U.S.A. approvals agency
CSA-D-IS Installation Instructions
For CSA-approved flowmeters
CSA is a Canadian approvals agency
SAA-D-IS Installation Instructions
For SAA-approved flowmeters
SAA is an Australian approvals agency
For hazardous area installation in Europe, use standard EN 60079-14 as
a guideline if national standards are not in effect.
To obtain a copy of an I.S. manual, phone the Micro Motion Customer
Service Department:
In the U.S.A., phone 1-800-522-MASS (1-800-522-6277)
Outside the U.S.A., phone 303-530-8400
In Europe, phone +31 (0) 318 549 443
A complete list of UL, CSA, SAA, and European approvals for ELITE
sensors is provided on page 53.
WARNING
Failure to comply with requirements for intrinsic
safety in a hazardous area could result in an
explosion.
Install the sensor in an environment that is compatible
with the hazardous area specified on the sensor
approvals tag. See illustrations, pages 1-3.
For installation in an area that requires intrinsic safety,
use this document with Micro Motion UL, CSA, or SAA
installation instructions.
For hazardous area installations in Europe, refer to
standard EN 60079-14 if national standards do not apply.

Step 2 Orientation
Flow direction Micro Motion sensors measure accurately regardless of flow direction.
Flow direction arrow
The sensor features a flow direction arrow (see illustrations, pages 1-3),
but the sensor will measure flow in either direction.
If the process fluid flows in the direction opposite to the flow direction
arrow, flowmeter outputs might not behave as expected unless the
transmitter is configured appropriately. For more information, including
configuration instructions, refer to any of the following:
Vertical pipeline
If the sensor is installed in a vertical pipeline, liquids and slurries should
flow upward through the sensor. Gases may flow upward or downward.
Process fluid Typical sensor orientations are shown in the tables on the following
pages:
For measuring liquids, see page 8.
For measuring gases, see page 9.
For measuring slurries, see page 10.
Keys for sensor orientation
The sensor will function properly in any orientation if the sensor flow
tubes remain filled with process fluid.

Installing wafer-style sensors A wafer-style sensor, which has no flanges or fittings, lets you "clamp"
the sensor between process connections in the pipeline. ELITE
CMF025, CMF050, and CMF100 sensors are available in the wafer
style.
A wafer installation kit is shipped with wafer-style sensors. Kits are
available to fit standard ANSI, DIN, and JIS fittings. (See pages 55-62 for
fitting options.) Wafer kits contain the following pieces:
4 flange bolts
8 flange nuts
2 alignment rings, which help center the sensor between the bolts
To install a wafer-type sensor, follow the five steps below:
1. Make sure the bolts provided in the wafer installation kit fit your
process connections.
2. Slip the sensor alignment rings over each end of the sensor wafer,
then insert the sensor between the process connections in the
pipeline, as illustrated below. Installing gaskets is recommended.

Step 5 Startup
Zeroing After the flowmeter has been fully installed, you must perform the
zeroing procedure. Flowmeter zeroing establishes flowmeter response
to zero flow and sets a baseline for flow measurement. The zeroing
procedure is described in the transmitter instruction manual and in the
manuals listed on page 30.
Configuration, calibration, and
characterization
If the sensor and transmitter are ordered together as a Coriolis
flowmeter, the factory has characterized the meter no additional
characterization is necessary. If either the sensor or transmitter is
replaced, characterization is required.
You can use the transmitter to configure, calibrate, and characterize the
meter. For more information, see any of the manuals listed on page 30.
The following information explains the difference between configuration,
calibration, and characterization. Certain parameters might require
configuration even when calibration is not necessary.
Configuration parameters include such items as flowmeter tag,
measurement units, flow direction, damping values, and slug flow
parameters. If requested at time of order, the meter is configured at the
factory according to customer specifications.
Calibration accounts for the flowmeters sensitivity to flow, density, and
temperature. Field calibration is optional.
Characterization is the process of entering calibration factors for flow,
density, and temperature directly into transmitter memory, instead of
performing field calibration procedures. Calibration factors can be found
on the sensor serial number tag and on the certificate that is shipped
with the sensor.
CAUTION
Failure to zero the flowmeter at initial startup could
cause measurement error.
Zero the flowmeter before putting the meter in operation.

Troubleshooting at the
transmitter
The tables in the preceding sections refer you to this section for
instructions on troubleshooting at the transmitter. To troubleshoot at the
transmitter, you might need a digital multimeter (DMM) or similar device,
the transmitter display, if it has one, and one of the following:
HART Communicator
ProLink software
AMS software
Modbus master controller (RFT9739 only)
Fieldbus host controller (Model 5300 with FOUNDATION
fieldbus only)
Checking the flow units
Check or change the flow units (unit of measure) configuration at the
transmitter. If necessary, refer to the instruction manual (or on-line help
for software) for the method you choose.
Use the Model 3500 or 3700 display
Use a HART Communicator, ProLink software, or AMS software
Use the host controller
Make sure the configured units of measure are the ones you want. Also,
make sure you know what the abbreviations mean. For example, g/sec is
grams per second, not gallons per second.
Checking for erratic flow rate at the transmitter
Before troubleshooting erratic flow rate, you must first determine
whether it is a result of the transmitter or a connected output device.
Check for an erratic flow signal at the transmitter using any of the
following methods. If necessary, refer to the instruction manual (or on-
line help for software) for the method you choose.
Use the transmitter display, if it has one
Use a DMM on the transmitters 4-20 mA or frequency output terminals
If the flow rate or output signal is not erratic at the transmitter outputs,
the problem is not with the transmitter.
Checking for faulty output wiring
Having already checked the output at the transmitter end (above), use a
DMM to check the signal at the other end (the receiving end) of the
output wiring. If the signal is not erratic, the problem is not with the
output wiring.
38 ELITE

Checking for faulty flowmeter wiring
Wiring problems are often incorrectly diagnosed as a faulty sensor.
Examine wiring between the sensor and transmitter as follows:
1. Check the cable preparation. The flowmeter cable must be
prepared correctly. The most common problem is improperly
prepared drain wires. See illustration, below. The drains are clipped at
the sensor end. They should not be connected to any terminals in the
sensor junction box. See wiring diagrams, pages 2628.
2. Check wire terminations. Check to be sure wires are secured tightly
in the terminal blocks, and making good connections. Make sure no
wires remain exposed at either end of the flowmeter cable.
3. Check ohm levels. If the cable was properly prepared and terminal
connections are good, check resistance across wire pairs to
determine whether the flowmeter cable is faulty. The procedure is
performed first at the transmitter, then at the sensor. Follow these
steps:
a. Disconnect the transmitters power supply.
b. Disconnect sensor wiring from the transmitters flowmeter
terminals.
c. Use a DMM to measure resistance across wire pairs at the
transmitter end of the cable. See tables on page 39.
If the measured value is within the range listed in the table,
reconnect wiring and restore power to the transmitter.
If the measured resistance is outside the range listed in the table,
repeat the measurements at the sensor junction box.
- If the sensor is a not a CMF400, refer to the "Nominal resistance
ranges" table on page 39.
- If the sensor is a CMF400, refer to the table on page 39, and the
illustration on page 40.
- If resistance values measured at the sensor are also outside the
range listed in the table, the sensor might be faulty.

Nominal resistance ranges for flowmeter ci rcuits
Notes
Temperature-sensor value increases 0.38675 ohms per C increase in temperature.
Nominal resistance values will vary 40% per 100C. However, confirming an open coil or shorted coil is more important than
any slight deviation from the resistance values presented below.
Resistance across blue and gray wires (right pickoff circuit) should be within 10% of resistance across green and white wires
(left pickoff circuit).
Actual resistance values depend on the sensor model and date of manufacture.
Reading across wire pairs should be steady.

Checking the damping value
Check or change the damping value at the transmitter. If necessary, refer
to the instruction manual (or on-line help for software) for the method
you choose.
In almost all applications, the damping value should be greater than
or equal to 0.8 seconds. If the damping value is already greater than or
equal to 0.8 seconds, the problem is probably not with the damping
value.
Damping values less than 0.8 seconds are used in very few applications.
After troubleshooting is complete, if you have a question about whether
your application might require a lower damping value, contact the Micro
Motion Customer Service Department. Phone numbers are listed on
page 31. The two most common applications affected by a damping
value that is too high are:
Very short batching applications
Very short-pass proving applications
Checking the drive gain
Contact Micro Motion to check the drive gain. Phone numbers are listed
on page 31.
If the transmitter is a Model 3500 or 3700, you can use the display to
view drive gain. For more information, refer to the ALTUS Detailed Setup
Manual.
Checking the density or temperature reading
View the flowmeter density or temperature measurement in any of
several ways:
Use the connected output device, if there is one
If necessary, test the process fluid to confirm the flowmeter
measurement is correct.
42 ELITE

Checking for RF interference
Radio-frequency (RF) interference can affect the input or output signals
at the transmitter. If you suspect RF interference, and can eliminate the
source, do so before checking the alternatives described below.
Output wiring. Output wiring can be affected by RF interference. Make
sure output wiring from the transmitter is properly grounded in
accordance with the instructions in the transmitter manual. Also make
sure no wires remain exposed at either end of output wiring.
Flowmeter cable. If the flowmeter cable does not have an external
shield (see illustration, below), and is not installed in conduit, it could be
affected by RF interference. Also make sure no wires remain exposed at
either end of the flowmeter cable.

Troubleshooting at the sensor The tables in the preceding sections refer you to this section for
instructions on troubleshooting at the sensor. To troubleshoot at the
sensor, you might need a digital multimeter (DMM) or similar device. For
some procedures, you might also need the transmitter manual.
Checking flowmeter grounding
The sensor can be grounded via the piping, as long as joints in the
pipeline are ground-bonded, or by means of a ground screw on the
outside of the sensor junction box.
For CMF400 sensors, see illustration, below.
Transmitter grounding is described in the transmitter instruction
manual.
If the sensor is not grounded via the piping, and if national standards are
not in effect, adhere to these guidelines to ground the sensor via the
junction box:
Use copper wire, 14 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) or larger wire size.
Keep all ground leads as short as possible.
Ground leads must have less than 1 ohm impedance.
Connect ground leads directly to earth, or follow plant standards.

Checking for moisture in the sensor junction box
The sensor junction box must be sealed to prevent a short circuit. A
short would result in measurement error or flowmeter failure. The
CMF400 has a junction box and a booster amplifier housing. See below.
Do not open the CMF400 booster amplifier housing while the booster
amplifier is energized. See the warning statement below.
Replace all covers and seal all openings before applying power to a
CMF400 sensor.
Open the junction box (and, for a CMF400, the booster amplifier
housing) to check for moisture. If moisture is present, dry out the
junction box or housing. Do not use contact cleaner. Follow these
guidelines to avoid risk of condensation or excessive moisture from
accumulating:
If possible, install wiring with the junction-box opening pointed down.
Check integrity of gaskets.
Close and fully seal all housing covers.

Checking for mounting stress on the sensor
Because each installation is unique, it is not possible to offer a definitive
solution for mounting problems. However, mounting stresses can be
caused by one or more of the following conditions:
The pipeline is being supported by (hung from) the sensor.
Misaligned piping was drawn together by the sensor.
An unsupported pipeline is not sturdy enough to support the sensor.
If you are unable to determine whether the process connections are
being subjected to mounting stress, contact Micro Motion for additional
assistance. Phone numbers are listed on page 31.
Checking for vibration and crosstalk
Micro Motion sensors have been designed to minimize the effect of
vibration. In very rare cases, however, vibration or crosstalk can affect
flowmeter operation. Crosstalk is the transfer of resonant vibration from
one sensor to another, and sometimes occurs when two like-size
sensors are installed in close proximity to each other and are operating
on the same fluid.
Micro Motion meters are rarely affected by vibration, so vibration or
crosstalk is probably not the problem. If you are not sure whether
vibration or crosstalk is affecting the sensor, contact Micro Motion for
additional assistance. Phone numbers are listed on page 31.

Checking for 2-phase flow
Two-phase flow occurs when air or gas is present in a liquid process
stream, or when liquid is present in a gas process stream. Two-phase
flow has several causes, as described below.
Leaks. Leaks can occur at process connections, valve seals, and pump
seals, resulting in air being introduced into a liquid stream. Air might also
be drawn in at the system inlet. Check the system for leaks, and repair
any leaks that are found.
Cavitation and flashing. Cavitation and flashing are caused by
operating the system at or near the process fluid vapor pressure,
resulting in pockets of air or gas being introduced into the process fluid.
If the sensor is near a device that causes pressure drop, such as a
control valve, locating the sensor upstream from the device can
decrease the risk of flashing. Alternatively, increasing back pressure
downstream from the sensor can also reduce the risk of cavitation and
flashing.
Cascading. Cascading of the fluid can occur when the flow rate
diminishes to the point where the sensor tube is only partially filled.
Often, this occurs because fluid is flowing downward through a sensor
installed in a vertical pipeline. (When a sensor is mounted this way, it is
called the flag-mount orientation).
To help eliminate cascading, fluids should flow upward through a flag-
mounted sensor. Mounting the sensor in the preferred orientation often
reduces cascading. (See Orientation, page 7.) Increasing back pressure
downstream from the sensor can also reduce or eliminate cascading.
High points in the system. When measuring liquids, entrained air
(pockets of non-condensable gas) can collect in high points of a fluid
system. If the fluid velocity is low, and/or the high points are very high
relative to the system, entrained air pockets can grow and persist. If the
air pocket releases and passes through the sensor, measurement error
could occur. One possible solution is to install vent valves or air
eliminators at a high point in the system, upstream from the sensor. Use
your common plant practices if you choose to install vent valves or air
eliminators.
Low points in the system. When measuring gases, liquid condensate
can collect in low points of a fluid system. If the fluid velocity is low,
and/or the low points are very low relative to the system, condensates
can accumulate and persist. If the liquid passes through the sensor,
measurement error could occur. One possible solution is to install
condensate valves at a low point in the system, upstream from the
sensor. Use your common plant practices if you choose to install
condensate valves.

Checking for plugging or build-up
If the process fluid tends to build up in the piping, the sensor can
become plugged or partially plugged due to build-up of material inside
the sensor flow tubes. To determine whether plugging or build-up has
occurred, check at the transmitter for a high drive gain and high density
reading (see below).
If the drive gain and the density reading are both high, flush or clean
the sensor, then check for an accurate density reading on water (or
some other fluid with a known density). If the density is still wrong,
plugging of the tube is probably not the problem.
If either the drive gain or the density reading is not high, plugging of the
tube is probably not the problem.
Checking the drive gain. Contact Micro Motion to check the drive gain.
Phone numbers are listed on page 31.
If the transmitter is a Model 3500 or 3700, you can use the display to
view drive gain. Refer to the ALTUS Detailed Setup Manual.

C Purge Fittings
Keeping purge fittings sealed If the sensor has purge fittings, they should remain sealed at all times.
After a purge plug is removed, the sensor case should be purged with a
dry, inert gas (such as argon or nitrogen), and resealed. See Case
purging procedure, page 66.
Purging the case protects internal components. Before Micro Motion
ships a sensor from the factory, it purges the sensor case. If you never
loosen or remove the fittings, you do not have to be concerned about
them.
For more information, contact the Micro Motion Customer Service
Department:
In Europe, phone +31 (0) 318 549 443
Using purge fittings The primary reason for having purge fittings is to monitor pressure inside
the sensor case. Some users, such as those measuring highly volatile
fluids, install a pressure transmitter across the sensor purge fittings. A
control device, connected to the pressure transmitter, shuts down the
process if a change in pressure is detected. This provides additional
protection should a rupture occur inside the sensor.

Removing a purge plug If you remove a purge plug from the sensor case, it is necessary to
re-purge the case.
Case purging procedure Read all instructions before performing the case purging procedure. It is
not necessary to perform this procedure unless a purge plug has been
removed.
1. Shut down the process, or set control devices for manual operation.
2. Remove both purge plugs from the sensor case. If purge lines are
being used, open the valve in the purge lines.
WARNING
Removing a purge plug will require the sensor case to
be re-purged with a dry inert gas. Improper
pressurization could result in serious personal injury.
Follow all instructions for re-purging the sensor case. See
Case purging procedure, below.
WARNING
Explosion hazard
The CMF400 has drain plugs, which look similar to purge
fittings. The drain plugs must remain sealed at all times.
Do not remove or damage CMF400 drain plugs.
CMF400 drain
plugs
CAUTION
Performing the purge procedure while the flowmeter is
operating could affect measurement accuracy,
resulting in inaccurate flow signals.
Before performing the case purging procedure, shut down
the process, or set control devices for manual operation.
ELITE

Purge Fittings continued
3. Connect the supply of dry, inert gas to the inlet purge connection or
open inlet purge line. Leave the outlet connection open.
Exercise caution to avoid introducing dirt, moisture, rust, or other
contaminants into the sensor case.
If the purge gas is heavier than air (such as argon), locate the inlet
lower than the outlet, so the purge gas will displace air from bottom
to top.
If the purge gas is lighter than air (such as nitrogen), locate the inlet
higher than the outlet, so the purge gas will displace air from top to
bottom.
4. Make sure there is a tight seal between the inlet connection and
sensor case, so air cannot be drawn by suction into the case or purge
line.
5. The purge time is the amount of time required for full exchange of
atmosphere to inert gas. For each sensor size, the purge time is
different. Refer to the table below. If purge lines are being used,
increase the purge time to fill the additional volume of the purge line.
6. Avoid pressurizing the sensor case. At the appropriate time, shut off
the gas supply, then immediately seal the purge outlet and inlet
connections. If pressure inside the case elevates above atmospheric
pressure during operation, the flowmeter density calibration will be
inaccurate.

D Rupture Disks
Keeping the rupture disks sealed If the sensor has rupture disks, they are installed in the sensor purge
fitting openings. The rupture disks should remain installed at all times. If
you remove a rupture disk from the sensor case, it is necessary to
re-purge the case. See Appendix C, page 65.

Rupture Disks continued
Using the rupture disks The primary reason for having rupture disks is to vent process fluid from
inside the sensor case, should the sensor flow tube rupture in a high-
pressure application. Some users, such as those measuring high-
pressure gases, connect a pipeline to the rupture disk fittings, to help
contain escaping process fluid. This provides additional protection
should a rupture occur.
Removing a rupture disk The rupture disks are installed in the sensor purge fitting openings. If
you remove a rupture disk from the sensor case, it is necessary to
re-purge the case. See Case purging procedure, page 66, for
instructions.
WARNING
Pressure Relief Zone.
Escaping high-pressure fluid can cause severe injury
or death.
Stay clear of rupture disk pressure-relief area.
WARNING
Removing a rupture disk will require the sensor case
to be re-purged with a dry inert gas. Improper
pressurization could result in serious personal injury.
Follow all instructions for re-purging the sensor case. See
Case purging procedure, page 66.
