6. Close switch SW1-3 that puts the flow transmitter in the manual mode; this enables the head-select switch SW2 to select and monitor
one sensing point.
7. Set the head-select switch SW2 to the number one (1) position.
8. Verify that switch SW4 is in the OP (OPerate) position.
9. Turn the operating power ON and let the system stabilize for a minimum of 5 minutes.
10. Set the FC81 Field Calibrator to the "READ VOLTS" position and remove the "ADD OHMS" by setting both buttons to the OUT
position. The voltage on the FC81 Field Calibrator can now be read. This is the same voltage that is across TP5 (-) and J8 (+). Adjust
the voltages by turning the "OHMS ADJUST" potentiometer.
11. On a blank Delta "R" sheet, write down the serial number of the flow meter and the flow element serial number.
Blank Delta "R" sheets are obtained from FCI Customer Service.
12. Adjust the "OHMS ADJUST" potentiometer to give an output of 4.00 mA, which is zero volts on the FC81 Field Calibrator.
13. On the Delta "R" sheet record the TP9 to TP10 voltage, the TP5 to J8 voltage (which is the same voltage that the FC81 Field
Calibrator displays), the MILLIAMP OUTPUT and the LOCAL DISPLAY reading, if applicable.
14. Depress the "SET OHMS" button on the FC81 Field Calibrator to display the new Delta "R" value for the 4.00 mA output. With the
FC81 Field Calibrator "SET OHMS" Button depressed the flow meter does not read the Delta "R" values. The DMMs will give open
circuit or random values.
15. Record the new Delta "R" on the data sheet. For the model FC81-8 Field Calibrator the displayed Delta "R" value is divided by 10 .
For the model FC81-7 there is no division necessary.
16. Set the calibrator to "READ VOLTS" and then adjust the "OHMS ADJUST" potentiometer to give the following outputs: 5.00, 6.00,
8.00, 12.00, 16.00, and 20.00 mA and repeat Steps 13 through 16 for each.
17. Turn the operating power OFF. Then transfer the FC81 Field Calibrator cable to terminal block TS2.
18. Turn the operating power ON. Allow one minute for the flow meter to stabilize.
19. Set the calibrator to "Read Volts" and repeat Steps 10 through 16. Remember to set the head-select switch, SW2, to the number 2
position for sensing point number 2.
20. Repeat this procedure for all the remaining sensing points in the system. Remember to set the head-select switch SW2 to the sensing
point number that a new Delta "R" table is generated for.
21. When the Delta "R" table has been completed for the whole system, set the head-select switch to the total number of sensing points
in the system. For example, a flow meter that has 4 sensing points should have the head-select switch SW2 in position 4.
22. Open switch SW1-3, which places the flow transmitter in the automatic mode. This puts the flow meter back into the operation mode.
New Calibration Procedure (in field)
Note:
The flow meter is calibrated for use with specific customer applications and flow ranges. There may be cause in the
field to readjust the calibration to meet the field data or applications.
A flowmeter EPROM stores data to accommodate a range expansion of up to 25% above full range. If any changes are performed a new
Delta "R" table will be needed to represent the adjustment. If an output adjustment is made, properly record the data and make it available
for FCI records.
The flow meter has a method for changing the span and zero adjustment in the field without losing the original factory setting. The factory
set span and zero will have jumpers J1, J5 and J7 installed, see
for the electrical assembly layout. FCI recommends making a
new “Delta R” table after any adjustment are made to the output. Once an adjustment is made the original Delta "R" table does not
represent the changes made.
Span Adjustment Only
The true flow rate of the process flow and the indicating milliamp output of the flow meter must be known before going on with the following
adjustment procedure. Record and have the information available for FCI to review.
To justify a span adjustment only, ensure the flow rate to be above 60% of full scale. Do not perform a span adjustment if the data obtained
is at a flow rate below 40%.
The following procedure is for sensing point (head) number one (1), but any sensing point can be used. The sensing point number that is
selected must match the head number selected at the head-selector, switch SW2.
