Emerson Model 1700 Manuel D’Utilisation

For each channel that you configured, perform or verify the corresponding input or output
configuration. When the configuration of a channel is changed, the channel’s behavior will
be controlled by the configuration that is stored for the selected input or output type, and
the stored configuration may not be appropriate for your process.

After verifying channel and output configuration, return the control loop to automatic
control.

The mA output is used to report the configured process variable. The mA output
parameters control how the process variable is reported. Your transmitter has one mA
output: Channel A.

The mA output parameters include:

•

mA Output Process Variable

•

Lower Range Value

 (LRV) and Upper Range Value (URV)

•

AO Cutoff

•

Added Damping

•

AO Fault Action

 and AO Fault Value

Whenever you change an mA output parameter, verify all other mA output parameters before
returning the flowmeter to service. In some situations, the transmitter automatically loads a set of
stored values, and these values may not be appropriate for your application.

If you plan to configure the output to report volume flow, ensure that you have set
Volume Flow Type

 as desired: Liquid or Gas Standard Volume.
