Programming the limit of the standard deviation causes the RFT9739 to
zero in one of the following ways:
• When the standard deviation measured by the transmitter converges
to a value that is less than the programmed standard deviation limit,
the RFT9739 will successfully zero. The time required for zeroing to
be completed will be equal to or less than the configured zero time.
• If the standard deviation measured by the transmitter exceeds, but is
not more than 10 times the programmed standard deviation limit, the
RFT9739 will successfully zero, but will continue sampling
throughout the entire zero time.
• If the standard deviation measured by the transmitter is more than 10
times the programmed standard deviation limit, the RFT9739
indicates zero failure and retains the previous zero calibration. This
condition indicates a fault.
Zero time
The user can program a zero time of 100 to 65,535 cycles. The default
zero time is 2048 cycles (approximately 40 seconds at a tube frequency
of 100 Hz). A longer zero time might improve the accuracy of the zeroing
procedure by increasing the number of measurement cycles.
To program the zero time for the RFT9739, enter the desired number of
measurement cycles into the Zero Time text box (see
Figure 14-1
,
page 135). Record the zero time in the appropriate Flowmeter
Calibration Record in
Appendix F
, page 189.
Example:
Given:
The default zero time is 2048 measurement cycles,
approximately 40 seconds at a tube frequency of 100 Hz. Under zero
flow conditions, the sensor flow tubes vibrate at a rate of 100 Hz, or 50
cycles per second.
Problem:
Because the process does not allow flow to be stopped for
the amount of time usually required for auto zeroing, the RFT9739
needs to zero in 10 or fewer seconds.
Solution:
Since 10 seconds ⋅ 50 measurement cycles/second = 500
cycles, the zero time is 500.
Enter a value of 500 into the Zero Time text box. The transmitter will
zero in 10 or fewer seconds, unless the measured standard deviation
is 10 times the programmed convergence limit during the auto zero (in
which case, the RFT9739 will indicate zero failure).
If the RFT9739 cannot zero because the programmed limit of the
standard deviation is too small, enter a larger value into the
Convergence Limit text box.
