A Dual Transducer Test Meter (Flow and Pressure)

Here we have discussed System Studies Transducer Test Meter
A1 (P/N9800-3600). Similar instructions are supplied with other product Vendor manual
to be followed.

It is also important to make sure the meter is zero adjusted before

A2 Vendor manual
taking readings and the battery does not show low battery indication

A3 Flow and pressure measurements must be made separately. Vendor manual

How to Test 4 to 20mA Monitoring Devices Using the Transducer Test Meter
1. Connect the meter’s red and black leads to the monitoring pair of
the device being measured. It is not important which leads are
A4 Vendor manual
connected to which conductor - unless you are testing devices on a
Selector Pair Saver™ device circuit

2. Evaluate the reading as indicated on the pressure or flow scale of

A5 the meter. For readings in the OPEN, 0, and SHORT scale regions, Vendor manual
see “Off-scale Readings.” [Attachment 1]

For pressure transducer output, use the values listed below the
curved scale on the gauge face. Reading increments are 0, 10, 20
and 30 PSI. Transducer output that falls between two indicated PSI
A6 values is estimated (Figure 3). Flow readings (numbers on top of Vendor manual
scale) are read as a fraction of the flow range listed on the Flow
Finder to which the transducer is connected. Flow Finder ranges are
0–95, 0–47.5, 0–19 and 0–9.5 SCFH.

A reading of “FS” (Full Scale), when testing a flow transducer

connected across a 47.5 SCFH Flow Finder, indicates a measured
flow of 47.5 SCFH; a scale reading of “1/2” indicates a flow of 23.75
A7 SCFH (0.5 X 47.5). System Studies’ monitoring devices are also Vendor manual
capable of reading up to twice the rated Flow Finder range. The
Transducer Test Meter will indicate extended ranges as either “1.5 X
FS ” or “2 X FS.”

Testing Selector Pair Saver Installations: System Studies’ Selector

A8 Pair Saver device (P/N 4990) makes it possible to read and monitor Vendor manual
two 4 to 20 mA transducers using only one device pair.

Procedures for testing both transducers at the Selector Pair Saver

A9 Vendor manual
are as follows: (A10 to A12)

1. Connect the meter’s red (positive) lead to the white (tip) conductor
Schedule Q
A10 of the Selector Pair Saver’s outgoing blue/white pair. Connect the
Att. IV
black (negative) lead to the blue (ring) conductor (Figure 4).

 2. To test the first transducer (the one connected to the orange/white
pair), move the polarity switch (bottom-right switch) to the “Device #1” Schedule Q
A11
(DOWN) position. To test the second transducer (green/white pair), Att. IV
move the switch to the “Device #2” (UP) position

3. Readings are evaluated as described in Step 2 of the Transducer Schedule Q

A12
Test Procedure (A4) Att. IV

Off-Scale Readings: “OPEN” Reading. OPEN readings indicate that

insufficient current is flowing in the device loop. Using the previous
test procedures as a reference, verify that the connections to both the Schedule Q
A13
meter and the device are correct. Also check to see that the battery is Att. IV
functioning properly. If all external connections are good, an OPEN
reading means the monitoring device could be faulty.

“0” Reading. A meter reading of 0 indicates a flow of zero, or

atmospheric pressure (0 PSIG). A properly functioning device with Schedule Q
A14
both pneumatic inputs disconnected (vented to atmosphere) will read Att. IV
in this region.

“SHORT” Reading. A SHORT reading indicates an over (excessive)

current condition in the device. If the meter reads SHORT, verify that Schedule Q
A15
the test meter or pair leads are not touching each other. If they are Att. IV
not, the device could be faulty.

Other Readings: A meter reading in the uncolored region between OPEN and 0 indicates one of the following conditions.
a) If both pneumatic inputs of the device are open to atmosphere, a reading on the left side of this region indicates a possible failed
device.
b) A reading toward the right of this region could indicate that the transducer has a low zero calibration. Low zero calibration can be
verified by placing a pressure transducer under pressure or creating a flow across a flow transducer (at the Flow Finder). If the reading
A16
increases, the transducer is functional but must be recalibrated.
c) If the device is connected to a Flow Finder in a pressurized system, a reading to the left side of the uncolored region can indicate a
reverse flow. Check the Flow Finder pneumatic connections to the transducer for proper orientation. This type of reading could also be
caused by cable pressure that is higher than air pipe pressure. Although this is rare, it is possible in an air-tight system. Test the
transducer with both pneumatic input ports vented to atmosphere to check for this condition

Testing the Battery

The Battery Test button and LED indicator on the front cover of the unit are used to verify that the battery charge is sufficient for proper
test meter operation. Simply press the button (with power on or off) to check the battery. If the LED illuminates, the battery charge is
A17
acceptable. Replace the batteries if it does not light (see replacement procedures below).
Note: The battery test is independent of the operating mode of the meter. It neither affects the readings, nor is it affected by being
connected to a transducer.

Zero Adjusting the Meter:

To verify that the meter is properly zeroed, turn the power switch on. If necessary, using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the zero-adjust
A18 screw located on the gauge face in either direction until the meter’s needle lines up with the “meter zero” line. Because the meter is
slightly position sensitive, it is recommended that you both zero adjust and take readings holding the meter in the same orientation
(either vertical or horizontal).

1. Confirm the instrument tag of Relay/contactor/Transducer and that the devices are physically installed as per P & ID and wiring
drawing.
2. Verify proper wiring polarity and that the device is connected to the signal wiring.
3. Verify that the input or output signal is within the device's normal operating range.
4. Measure loop impedance by disconnecting the signal wiring at both the transmitter and rack room ends, shorting the signal wiring at
D1
the transmitter and measuring the loop resistance with an ohmmeter at the termination panel end.
5. With an ohmmeter, verify that there are no shorts to ground in the signal wiring by checking the wiring to ground while the wiring is
still disconnected.
6. Connect the device at the field location and have second technician in the rack room verify the status indication at DCS .
7. Reconnect the wiring to the in the field and the rack room.
