Brief operating instructions

The brief operating instructions are aimed at helping you commission your measuring device quickly
and easily:

Safety instructions  ä5
First familiarize yourself with the safety instructions to be able to carry out the following work steps quickly and easily.
Here, you can find information on:
• The designated use of the measuring device
• The operational safety
• The safety symbols and conventions used in the document

▼
Connecting the transmitter  ä 30
Install the sensors using the transmitter software.
Therefore connect the transmitter first to the power supply.

▼
Display and operating elements  ä 34
A brief overview of the different display and operating elements to allow you to start quickly.
▼
Installing the sensors  ä 10
Installing the flowrate measuring sensors Prosonic Flow W (clamp-on)
▼
Sensor Setup  ä 46
Measuring devices with a local display:
Use the "Sensor Setup" ( ä 46) to determine the data required for sensor installation such as sensor distance, wire
length, pipe materials, sound velocity in liquids, etc.
• The system provides you with the sensor distance for the W "clamp-on" versions as distance data.
For the W sensors, you also receive the data in the form of a letter for sensor 1 and in the form of a number for
sensor 2. You can thus easily position the sensors with the aid of the mounting rail.
Measuring devices without a local display:
No Sensor Setup is available for devices without a local display.
The sensor installation procedure for such devices is explained on.

Connection of the sensor/transmitter connecting cable ä 27

▼
Customer-specific configuration  ä 49
Complex measurement tasks require the configuration of additional functions which you can individually select, set and
adapt to your process conditions using the function matrix. There are two options:
• Setting parameters via the configuration program "FieldCare"
• Setting parameters via the local display (optional)
All functions are described in detail, as is the function matrix itself  ä 75.

! Note!
Always start troubleshooting with the checklist on  ä 55 if faults occur after commissioning or during operation. This
takes you directly (via various queries) to the cause of the problem and the appropriate remedial measures.

Proline Prosonic Flow 91 Safety instructions

1 Safety instructions

1.1 Designated use

The measuring device described in these Operating Instructions is to be used only for measuring the
flow of liquids in closed pipes, e.g.:
• Ultra clean water with low conductivity
• Water, wastewater, etc.
As well as measuring the volume flow, the measuring system also always measures the sound
velocity of the fluid. In this way, you can distinguish between different fluids or monitor the fluid
quality.
Resulting from incorrect use or from use other than that designated the operational safety of the
measuring devices can be suspended. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages resulting
from this.

1.2 Installation, commissioning, operation

Note the following points:
• Installation, connection to the electricity supply, commissioning and maintenance of the device
must be carried out by trained, qualified specialists authorized to perform such work by the
facility's owner-operator. The specialist must have read and understood these Operating
Instructions and must follow the instructions they contain.
• The device must be operated by persons authorized and trained by the plant operator. Strict
compliance with the instructions in these Operating Instructions is mandatory.
• Endress+Hauser is willing to assist in clarifying the chemical resistance properties of parts wetted
by special fluids, including fluids used for cleaning. However, small changes in temperature,
concentration or the degree of contamination in the process can result in changes to the chemical
resistance properties. For this reason, Endress+Hauser does not accept any responsibility with
regard to the corrosion resistance of materials wetted by fluids in a specific application. The user
is responsible for the choice of wetted materials with regard to their in-process resistance to
corrosion.
• If welding work is performed on the piping system, do not ground the welding appliance through
the flowmeter.
• The installer must ensure that the measuring system is correctly wired in accordance with the
wiring diagrams. The transmitter must be grounded, except in cases where special protective
measures have been taken (e.g. galvanically isolated power supply SELV or PELV).
• Always note the regulations applicable in your country to the operation, maintenance and repair
of electrical devices. Special instructions relating to the device can be found in the relevant
sections of the documentation.

1.3 Operational safety

Note the following points:
• The measuring device meets the general safety requirements according to EN 61010-1 and the
EMC requirements according to IEC/EN 61326 in addition to the NAMUR recommendations
NE 21, NE 43 and NE 53.
• When hot fluid passes through the measuring tube, the surface temperature of the housing
increases. In the case of the sensor, in particular, users should expect temperatures that can be
close to the fluid temperature. If the temperature of the fluid is high, implement sufficient
measures to prevent burning or scalding.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to modify technical data without prior notice. Your
Endress+Hauser distributor will supply you with current information and updates to these
Operating Instructions.

Endress+Hauser 5
Safety instructions Proline Prosonic Flow 91

1.4 Return
The following procedures must be carried out before a flowmeter requiring repair or calibration, for
example, is returned to Endress+Hauser:
• Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of Contamination" form. Only then can
Endress+Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
! Note!
You will find a preprinted "Declaration of Contamination" form at the back of this manual.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 REACH.
• Remove all residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain residues. This is particularly important if the substance is hazardous to health, e.g.
flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic, etc.

# Warning!
• Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused
through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal or injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be charged
to the owner-operator.

1.5 Notes on safety conventions and icons

The devices are designed and tested to meet state-of-the-art safety requirements, and have left the
factory in a condition in which they are safe to operate. The devices comply with the applicable
standards and regulations in accordance with EN 61010 -1 "Protection Measures for Electrical
Equipment for Measurement, Control, Regulation and Laboratory Procedures". The devices can,
however, be a source of danger if used incorrectly or for other than the designated use.
For this reason, always pay particular attention to the safety instructions indicated in these
Operating Instructions by the following icons:

# Warning!
"Warning" indicates an action or procedure which, if not performed correctly, can result in personal
injury or a safety hazard. Comply strictly with the instructions and proceed with care.

Recommended orientation with upward direction of flow (View A). Entrained solids sink down.
Gases rise away from the measuring sensor when fluid is not flowing. The piping can be completely
drained and protected against buildup.

Horizontal orientation
In the recommended installation range in a horizontal installation position (View B), gas and air
accumulation at the pipe cover and problematic buildups at the bottom of the pipe have a minor
influence on the measurement.

3.2.4 Inlet and outlet runs

If possible, install the sensor well clear of assemblies such as valves, T-pieces, elbows, etc. If several
flow obstructions are installed, the longest inlet or outlet run must be considered. Compliance with
the following requirements for the inlet and outlet runs is recommended to ensure measuring
accuracy.

3.2.5 Sensor selection and arrangement

The sensors can be arranged in two ways:
• Mounting arrangement for measurement via one traverse: the sensors are located on opposite
sides of the pipe.
• Mounting arrangement for measurement via two traverses: the sensors are located on the same
side of the pipe.

A0005728

Fig. 7: Sensor mounting arrangement (top view)

1 Mounting arrangement for measurement via one traverse
2 Mounting arrangement for measurement via two traverses

Recommendations
The number of traverses required depends on th sensor type, the nominal diameter and the
thickness of the pipe wall. We recommend the following types of mounting:

Sensor type Nominal diameter Sensor Frequency Sensor ID Type of mounting 1)

DN15 to DN65 (½" to 2½") 6 MHz W-CL-6F 2 traverses 2)

DN 80 (3") 2 MHz W-CL-2F 2 traverses

W-CL-1F
DN 100 to 300 (4" to 12") 2 MHz (or 1 MHz) 2 traverses 2)
W-CL-2F
Prosonic Flow W
W-CL-1F
DN 300 to 600 (12" to 24") 1 MHz (or 2 MHz) 2 traverses 2)
W-CL-2F

W-CL-1F
DN 650 to 4000 (26" to 160") 1 MHz (or 0.5 MHz) 1 traverses 2)
W-CL-05F
1) The installation of clamp-on sensors is principally recommended in the 2 traverse type installation. This type of

installation allows the easiest and most comfortable type of mounting. However, in certain applications a 1 traverse
installation may be preferred.
These include:
• Certain plastic pipes with wall thickness > 4 mm (0,16 in)
• Lined pipes
• Applications with fluids with high acoustic damping
2) 0.5 MHz sensors are also recommended for applications with composite material pipes such as GRP*) and may be

recommended for certain lined pipes, pipes with wall thickness >10 mm, or applications with media with high acoustic
damping. In addition, for these applications we principally recommend mounting the W sensors in a 1 traverse
configuration.
3)
6 MHz sensors for applications where flow velocity 10m/s (32.8Hz/s)

3.3 Preparatory steps prior to installation

Depending on the conditions specific to the measuring point (e.g. clamp-on, number of traverses,
fluid, etc.), a number of preparatory steps have to be taken before actually installing the sensors:
1. Determination of the values for the necessary installation distances based on the conditions
specific to the measuring point. A number of methods are available for determining the values:
– Local operation of the device
– FieldCare (operating program), connect a notebook to the transmitter
– Applicator (software), online on the Endress+Hauser Internet site
2. Mechanical preparation of the clamp-on retainers for the sensors:
– Premount the strapping bands (DN 50 to 200 / 2 to 8") or (DN 250 to 4000 / 10 to 160")
– Fix the welded bolts

3.4 Determining the necessary installation distances

The installation distance that have to be maintained depend on:
• The type of sensor: W (DN 50 to 4000 / 2 to 160"), W(DN 15 to 65 / ½ to 2½")
• Type of mounting:
– Clamp-on with strapping band or welded bolt
– Insertion version, installation in the pipe
• Number of traverses or single-path/dual-path version

3.5 Mechanical preparation

The way in which the sensors are secured differs on account of the pipe nominal diameter and the
sensor type. Depending on the type of sensor, users also have the option of securing the sensors with
strapping bands or screws such that they can be later removed, or permanently fixing the sensors in
place with welded bolts or welded retainers.

4.2.1 General notes

The brief commissioning guide ( ä 45) is adequate for commissioning a standard set-up of the
transmitter. Complex measurement tasks require set-up by means of the function matrix, which
comprises an additional functions. The function matrix, therefore, comprises a multiplicity of
additional functions which, for the sake of clarity, are arranged in a number of function groups.
Comply with the following instructions when configuring functions:
• Select functions as described on  ä 35.
• Certain functions can be switched off (OFF). If functions are switched off related functions in
other function groups will no longer be displayed.
• Certain functions require confirmation of the data entries.
Press P to select "SURE [ YES ]" and press F again to confirm. The setting is saved or starts a
function, as applicable.
• Return to the HOME position is automatic if no key is pressed for 5 minutes.

! Note!
• The transmitter continues to measure while data entry is in progress, i.e. the current measured
values are output via the signal outputs in the normal way.
• If the power supply fails all preset and configured values remain safely stored in the EEPROM.

4.2.2 Enabling the programming mode

The function matrix can be disabled. Disabling the function matrix rules out the possibility of
inadvertent changes to device functions, numerical values or factory settings. A numerical code
(factory setting = 91) has to be entered before settings can be changed.
If the "private code" is activated, this excludes the possibility of unauthorized persons accessing data,
see ACCESS CODE function  ä 81.
Comply with the following instructions when entering codes:
• If programming is disabled and the P operating elements are pressed in any function, a prompt
for the code automatically appears on the display.
• If "0" is specified as the private code, programming is always enabled.
• The Endress+Hauser service organization can be of assistance if the personal code is lost.

" Caution!
Changing certain sensor specific parameters may influence characteristics of numerous functions of
the entire measuring device, particularly measuring accuracy.
This type of parameters may not be changed! Please contact Endress+Hauser if you have any
questions.

4.2.3 Disabling the programming mode

Programming is disabled if the operating elements is not pressed within 60 seconds following a
return to the HOME position.
This programming is disable by entering any number in the function "ACCESS CODE" (any other
than the customer's code).

Proline Prosonic Flow 91 Operation

4.3 Communication
In addition to local operation, the measuring device can also be configured and measured values
obtained by means of the HART protocol. Digital communication takes place using the 4–20 mA
current output HART  ä 31.
The HART protocol allows the transfer of measuring and device data between the HART master and
the field devices for configuration and diagnostics purposes.
The HART masters, e.g. a handheld terminal or PC-based operating programs (such as FieldCare),
require device description (DD) files which are used to access all the information in a HART device.
Information is exclusively transferred using so-called "commands". There are three different
command groups:
• Universal commands:
All HART devices support and use universal commands.
The following functionalities are linked to them:
– Recognizing HART devices
– Reading digital measured values (volume flow, totalizer, etc.)
• Common practice commands:
Common practice commands offer functions which are supported and can be executed by most
but not all field devices.
• Device-specific commands:
These commands allow access to device-specific functions which are not HART standard. Such
commands access individual field device information, (among other things), such as empty-pipe/
full-pipe adjustment values, low flow settings etc.

! Note!
The measuring device has access to all three command classes. A list of all the "Universal
commands" and "Common Practice Commands" can be found on  ä 39.

4.3.1 Operating options

For the complete operation of the measuring device, including device-specific commands, there are
device description (DD) files available to the user to provide the following operating aids and
programs:
Field Xpert HART Communicator
Selecting device functions with a HART Communicator is a process involving a number of menu
levels and a special HART function matrix. The HART manual in the carrying case of the HART
Communicator contains more detailed information on the device.
Operating program "FieldCare"
FieldCare is Endress+Hauser’s FDT-based plant asset management tool and allows the configuration
and diagnosis of intelligent field devices. By using status information, you also have a simple but
effective tool for monitoring devices. The Proline flowmeters are accessed via a service interface or
via the service interface FXA291.
Operating program "SIMATIC PDM" (Siemens)
SIMATIC PDM is a standardized, manufacturer-independent tool for the operation, configuration,
maintenance and diagnosis of intelligent field devices.
Operating program "AMS" (Emerson Process Management)
AMS (Asset Management Solutions): program for operating and configuring devices.

! Note!
In the CURRENT SPAN function, the HART protocol demands the setting "4 to 20 mA HART" or
"4-20 mA (25 mA) HART".
HART write protection can be disabled or enabled by means of a jumper on the I/O board.

5.3.3 Data backup/transmission

Using the T-DAT SAVE/LOAD function ( ä 82), you can transfer data (device parameters and
settings) between the T-DAT (exchangeable memory) and the EEPROM (device storage unit).
This is required in the following instances:
• Creating a backup: current data are transferred from an EEPROM to the T-DAT.
• Replacing a transmitter: current data are copied from an EEPROM to the T-DAT and then
transferred to the EEPROM of the new transmitter.
• Duplicating data: current data are copied from an EEPROM to the T-DAT and then transferred to
EEPROMs of identical measuring points.

5.4.1 Zero point adjustment

Consequently, zero point adjustment is generally not necessary.
Experience shows that the zero point adjustment is advisable only in special cases:
• To achieve highest measuring accuracy also with very small flow rates.
• Under extreme process or operating conditions (e.g. very high process temperatures or very high-
viscosity fluids).

Preconditions for a zero point adjustment

Note the following before performing a zero point adjustment:
• A zero point adjustment can be performed only with fluids that contain no gas or solid contents.
• Zero point adjustment is performed with the pipe completely filled and at zero flow
(v = 0 m/s). This can be achieved, for example, with shutoff valves upstream and/or downstream
of the measuring range or by using existing valves and gates ( å 38).
– Standard operation  valves 1 and 2 open
– Zero point adjustment with pump pressure  valve 1 open / valve 2 closed
– Zero point adjustment without pump pressure  valve 1 closed / valve 2 open

" Caution!
• If the fluid is very difficult to measure (e.g. containing entrained solids or gas) it may prove
impossible to obtain a stable zero point despite repeated zero point adjustments. In instances of
this nature, please contact your Endress+Hauser service center.
• You can view the currently valid zero point value using the "ZERO POINT" function ( ä 104).

Esc

a0005820

Fig. 38: Zero point adjustment and shutoff valves

Performing a zero point adjustment

1. Operate the system until normal operating conditions resume.
2. Stop the flow (v = 0 m/s).
3. Check the shutoff valves for leaks.
4. Check that operating pressure is correct.

5.5 Data storage devices

At Endress+Hauser, the term HistoROM refers to various types of data storage modules on which
process and measuring device data are stored. By plugging and unplugging such modules, device
configurations can be duplicated onto other measuring devices to cite just one example.

5.5.1 HistoROM/T-DAT (transmitter DAT)

The T-DAT is an exchangeable data storage device in which all transmitter parameters and settings
are stored.
Storing of specific parameter settings from the device memory (EEPROM) to the T-DAT module and
vice versa must be carried out by the user (= manual save function). Detailed instructions regarding
this can be found on  ä 82.

Proline Prosonic Flow 91 Maintenance

6 Maintenance
No special maintenance work is required.

6.1 Exterior cleaning

When cleaning the exterior of measuring devices, always use cleaning agents that do not attack the
surface of the housing and the seals.

6.2 Coupling fluid

A coupling fluid is required to ensure the acoustic link between the sensor and the piping. This is
applied to the sensor surface during commissioning. Periodic replacement of the coupling fluid is
usually not required.

! Note!
If too much coupling fluid is applied, signal transmission is reduced by up to 10 dB.

a0005750

1 Coupling fluid
2 Sensor surface, Prosonic Flow W

! Note!
• Avoid to use a thick layer of the coupling fluid (less is more).
• Clean and reapply new coupling fluid when sensor is removed from the pipe.
• On rough pipe surfaces e.g. GRP pipes ensure that the gaps are filled. Apply suffizienet copling
fluid.
• A change in the signal strength might indicate a dotorration of the coupling fluid. No action is
required as long as the signal strength is higher than 50 dB.

Diagnosis code on the display

The measuring device is monitored during commissioning and operation. The results are shown on the display in the
form of diagnosis code messages. Diagnosis code messages help the user detect current conditions and errors. Depending
on the diagnosis code displayed, it is then possible to service the measuring device.
Depending on the diagnosis code, the behavior of the device can also be affected. Where permitted, the user has the
option of deactivating alarms and defining them as notice messages.
There are 4 categories of diagnosis code messages: F, C, S, and M:
Category F (failure):
The device does not function as it should such that the measured values cannot be used. This also includes some process
errors.
Category C (function check):
The device is being serviced, assembled, configured or is in the simulation mode. The output signals do not correspond to
the actual process values and thus cannot be used.
Category S (outside specification):
One or more measured values (e.g. flow etc.) are outside the specified limit values that were specified at the factory or by
the users themselves. Diagnosis messages of this category are also displayed during measuring device startup or during
cleaning processes.
Category M (maintenance):
The measuring signals are still valid but are affected by factors such as wear, corrosion or fouling.
The diagnosis code messages are grouped as follows within the F, C, S and M Categories:
No. 000 – 199: Messages affecting the sensor.
No. 200 – 399: Messages affecting the transmitter.
No. 400 – 599: Configuration-related messages (simulation, download, data storage etc.)

8.8 Return
" Caution!
Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused through
plastic.
Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be charged
to the owner-operator.
The following steps must be taken before returning a flow measuring device to Endress+Hauser,
e.g. for repair or calibration:
• Always enclose a duly completed "Declaration of contamination" form. Only then can
Endress+Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per
EC REACH Regulation No. 1907/2006.
• Remove all residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain residues. This is particularly important if the substance is hazardous to health, e.g.
flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic, etc.

! Note!
You will find a preprinted "Declaration of contamination" form at the back of these Operating
Instructions.

9.1.6 Performance characteristics

Reference operating • Fluid temperature: +28 °C ± 2 K

conditions • Ambient temperature: +22 °C ± 2 K
• Warm-up period: 30 minutes
Installation:
• Sensor and transmitter grounded.
• The measuring sensors are mounted correctly.

Maximum measured error Measured error

The measured error depends on a number of factors. A distinction is made between the measured
error of the device (Prosonic Flow 91 = 0.5 % of the measured value) and an additional installation-
specific measured error (typically 1.5 % of the measured value) that is independent of the device.
The installation-specific measured error depends on the installation conditions on site, such as the
nominal diameter, wall thickness, real pipe geometry, fluid etc. The sum of the two measured errors
is the measured error at the measuring point.

Measured error at the measuring point

The measured error at the measuring point is made up of the measured error of the device
(0.5 % o.r.) and the measured error resulting from the installation conditions on site. Given a flow
velocity > 0.3 m/s and a Reynolds number > 10000, the following are typical error limits:

10.9.1 Information on the response of the status output

General
If you have configured the status output for "LIMIT VALUE" or "FLOW DIRECTION", you can
configure the requisite switch points in the SWITCH-ON POINT and SWITCH-OFF POINT
functions. When the measured variable in question reaches these predefined values, the status
output switches as shown in the illustrations below.

Status output configured for flow direction

Switch-off point/switch-on point

-Q Q
-1 0 +1 a

b
a0001236

a = Status output conductive

b = Status output not conductive

The value entered in the function ON-VALUE defines the switch point for the positive and negative
directions of flow. If, for example, the switch point entered is = 1 m3/h, the status output switches
off at –1 m3/h (not conductive) and switches on again at +1 m3/h (conductive). Set the switch
point to 0 if your process calls for direct switchover (no switching hysteresis). If low flow cut off is
used, it is advisable to set hysteresis to a value greater than or equal to the low flow.

Status output configured for limit value

The status output switches as soon as the measured variable undershoots or overshoots a defined
switch point.

Application: Monitoring flow or process-related boundary conditions.

Options:
STANDARD
SYMMETRY

Factory setting:
STANDARD

The responses of the individual outputs and the internal totalizer in each of the measuring
modes are described in detail on the following pages:

Current output
STANDARD
Only the flow components for the selected flow direction are output, (positive or negative
full scale value n = flow direction). Flow components in the opposite direction are not
taken into account (suppression).

Example for current output:

I [mA]

20

4
0 Q
m n
a0001248

SYMMETRY
The output signals of the current output are independent of the direction of flow (absolute
amount of the measured variable). The "VALUE 20mA" o (e.g. backflow) corresponds to
the mirrored VALUE 20 mA n (e.g. flow). Positive and negative flow components are
taken into account.
