Product Overview
Introduction
The Thermo Scientific Sarasota range of gas density meters is designed for
the continuous, inline, high accuracy measurement of density or density
related variables within the oil and gas, petrochemical, and power
industries. From this measurement, output variables such as specific
gravity, calorific value, or molecular weight can be provided either by a
third party flow computer or by a Sarasota density converter, such as the
HME900 or CM200.
The Sarasota ID900 insertion density meter is installed directly into the
pipeline or vessel, generally using its integral flanges or the Sarasota
RTR900 instrument retractor. The Sarasota RTR900 allows the meter to
be removed from a pressurized line without having to shut down the line or
process, avoiding downtime. The Sarasota FD900 by-pass density meter is
normally installed on a by-pass sample line. Where the line size is 25 mm
(1 in) or less, it may be placed directly inline. A choice of fittings and flange
options is available to suit the pipework configuration. Density and
temperature measurements are therefore at line or near line conditions.
Applications for the meters include:
Process control
Quality control
Product interface detection
Process monitoring
Fuel gas monitoring (Sarasota FD900)
Operation
ID900 & FD900
Sensors in the sensor assembly are caused to vibrate at their natural

resistance. Fluid or gas flowing through the sensors causes changes in the
vibration frequency. The change in vibration frequency is proportional to
the density of the fluid or gas.

Product Overview
Ordering Information
RTR900
The instrument retractor accommodates the Sarasota ID900 with the vent
valve mounted to mate with the system isolation valve. The head of the
vent valve interferes with lugs on the clamp ring. This prevents removal of
the clamp ring while the bleed valve is shut. This safety feature prevents
removal of the top seal housing until seal housing pressure is released. The
retractor allows the density meter to be removed from the system while
leaving the seal housing still clamped to the system pipeline. It is designed
to be used with pipeline pressures up to 170 bar (2500 psi).

Installation
Note Installation must be carried out in accordance with local site
requirements and regulations.
General
To ensure high performance of the density meter:
Mount vertically and fit lagging.
Install a suitable filter upstream (50 m).
Ensure correct flow rates (Sarasota FD900).
Prevent bubbles by pressurizing liquid.
Prevent condensation.
Fit additional magnetic filter to sensor head in areas where above

normal metal particles can develop.
Keep system temperature and pressure within specific limits.
Ensure the system pipelines do not impose undue loads on the density
meter.
Prevent upstream throttling effects by using a downstream valve to

control the flow in the system.
Mechanical
ID900
The Sarasota ID900 should be mounted vertically in the pipeline with the
outlet port downstream. There are three mounting methods:
Welded flange version
Male connector Swagelok fitting
Sarasota RTR900
Ensure that the flow direction arrow etched onto the Sarasota ID900 stems
points in the flow stream direction. Fit suitable flange gaskets and tighten
flange bolts evenly. See Figures 21 and 22 below.

RTR900
The Sarasota RTR900 instrument retractor should be mounted on a ball or

gate location valve and have sufficient clearance to allow the Sarasota
ID900 and retractor to pass clearly through when the valve is open.
The isolation valve must be mounted squarely on the nozzle attached to the
system pipeline or tank and be clear of internal obstructions.
You will need the following equipment to install the Sarasota RTR900:
2-6
Allen key, 5 mm
Spanners, open-ended 1-1/5-inch and 1-5/16-inch AF
Spanners (2 off) to suit flange bolts
C spanner for gland nut (supplied)
Oil can containing good quality light machine oil (Shell Dexron II)
Installation
Mechanical
Fit the instrument retractor as follows:

1. Remove the amplifier box from the density meter.
2. Using the Allen headed bolts, fit the handwheel to retractor shaft.
3. Lightly lubricate the O-ring at the top of the jackscrew.
4. Insert the density meter through the nut of the pipe fitting and push all
the way up to the stem. Take care when passing the O-ring.
5. Ensure the density meter body fits snugly against the nut and that the
cannon plug at the end of the density meter stem projects beyond the
retractor handwheel.
6. Finger-tighten the nut at the end of the retractor stem. Using a
spanner, tighten the nut 1-1/4 turns further. Check the density meter is
held firmly.
7. Turn the knob on the vent valve fully counterclockwise to allow the
lugs on the clamp nut to clear the valve handle. Undo the clamp nut
and remove it from the remainder of the seal housing along with the
retractor stem and instrument. Take care not to loose the Inconel C
ring on top of the seal housing.
Caution Handle the Inconel C ring with care. The C ring may be shipped
separately in a plastic bag attached to the wheel.
8. Bolt the seal housing to the valve, ensuring it is aligned with the valve.
Caution Misalignment can cause the density meter to be inserted at an
angle and contact the edge of the nozzle where it enters the pipeline. The
density meter may be trapped but should not be retrieved until the next
time the pipeline is completely shut down.
9. Ensure that the Inconel C ring is not damaged and that the mating
surfaces are clean and free from dirt. Fit the C ring and screw down the
top of the seal housing and lead screw assembly.
10. Using the C spanner, tighten to clamp the ring to 330 Nm (250 lbf.ft).

Electrical Considerations
Electrical
Considerations
Warning Refer to the warnings at the beginning of this manual.
Warning Perform all site safety procedures prior to beginning electrical

installation.
Note The Sarasota RTR900 itself requires no electrical installation.
However, the instrument used with the Sarasota RTR900 must be installed
in accordance with its appropriate requirements.
Electrical connections to a density meter used in conjunction with a

retractor must be made after the retractor has been commissioned. The
wiring is required to run to the instrument connection box when the
retractor is fully installed.
Provision must be made for the easy removal of the electrical wiring to
allow the retractor to be rotated when it is used. If the electrical
installation must be done before the retractor is commissioned,
allowance must be made for movement of the instrument connection
box.
A signal greater than 1 V P-P is required to drive the Sarasota HC900

Series computer.
Where zener barriers or galvanic isolators are used, the maximum

capacitance and inductance of the cable must not exceed the values
detailed in the electrical installation figures below.
2-8
Where long cable is required, the maximum capacitance will be 0.1 F

before acceptable signal attenuation occurs. If low signal levels at the
computer are a problem, consult the manufacturer.

Installation
Guidelines
The Sarasota ID900 and FD900 density meters and RTR900 instrument
retractor have been designed to satisfy the requirements of Clause 1.2.7 of
the essential Health and Safety Requirements such that it will not give rise
to physical injury when handled properly. These instruments do not
produce excessive surface temperature, nor do they emit infra red,
electromagnetic, or ionizing radiation.
Before starting installation work, ensure all power connections are isolated
and take precautions to prevent power from being restored while work is
taking place. Hazardous area installations forbid the use of tools or
equipment which could produce an explosion hazard by causing a spark or
imposing excessive mechanical stress.
The instruments must be installed in a manner to avoid exposure to
thermal or mechanically induced stresses, and in addition, they should not
be exposed to chemically aggressive substances beyond the expected levels.
The instruments are not intended to be exposed to significant conditions of
dust buildup.
In cases where impact or other mechanical forces may be expected,
appropriate methods of protection must be used.
Marking
The Sarasota ID900 and FD900 density meters and RTR900 instrument
retractor are marked for use in hazardous areas according with the ATEX

Commissioning
Warning Refer to the local safety rules before commencing work.
Warning Before pressurizing, ensure all safety labels are in place and
securely wire the warning label to the isolation valve handwheel.
Equipment Required
Special C spanner, supplied with Sarasota RTR900
Appropriate spanners to fit seal housing flange nuts
Can of light machine oil (Shell Dexron II or equivalent)
Tools for removing electrical connections, conduit connections to the

terminal box
Caution If at any time during insertion or retraction the torque becomes

excessive (refer to graph in Figure 31) or exceeds that which can be
applied by one individual turning the handwheel without using a lever to
multiply torque, the line must be depressurized to safely remove the
instrument retractor from the line for inspection.
RTR900 Initial
Operation
1. Unscrew the gland nut and check that packing is fitted. Use the C
spanner provided to tighten the gland nut to 75 Nm (55 lbf.ft).
2. Ensure the seal housing top clamp nut is fully tightened.
3. Carefully open bleed valve with a one-quarter turn, and slightly crack
the main line valve.
4. Once fluid starts to come from the bleed valve, stop opening the main
line valve. Shut the vent valve tightly.

RTR900 Insertion
5. Check:
a. The joints between the seal housing and valve for fluid leaks.
b. For fluid weeping past the gland, and tighten the gland further if
necessary.
c. For fluid leaks passing up the stem of the instrument inside the
threaded retractor tube.
d. For leaks past the Inconel C ring. If there are leaks, ensure the
clamp ring is tight 330 Nm (250 lbf.ft). If this does not stop the
leakage, steps 1 through 4 will need to be reversed, and the C ring
will need to be replaced. Make sure the mating surfaces are free
from grit, dirt, or damage.
RTR900 Insertion
1. Remove the amplifier box on the end of the density meter stem.
2. Check the cleanliness of the retractor thread.
3. If the thread is excessively dirty, clean it using an appropriate solvent
(clean kerosene). Once the thread is clean, liberally apply light machine
oil to the thread, especially at the point where it enters the gland nut.
4. Insert the density meter into the line by rotating the handwheel
clockwise. Check for leakage around the screw head as the insertion is
performed.
5. Once insertion is completed to the required depth (refer to Chapter 2),
check the orientation of the density meter and adjust as necessary.
6. Protect any exposed threads on the retractor by coating with a
waterproof grease.
7. Reconnect all electrical connections by fitting the amplifier box to the
top of the density meter stem. Ensure that the cable ends and terminal
identifications correspond.
8. Check that the flow arrow on the amplifier aligns with pipe flow
direction for the density meter installation.
9. Check for leakage and make corrections as necessary.

RTR900 Retraction
Caution If at any time during insertion or retraction the torque becomes
excessive (refer to graph in Figure 31) or exceeds that which can be
applied by one individual turning the handwheel without using a lever to
multiply torque, the line must be depressurized to safely remove the
instrument retractor from the line for inspection.
1. Clean off any excess grease used to protect the retractor threads. During
retraction, the threads are lubricated by the process fluid. Additional
lubrication is normally not needed.
2. Remove the amplifier from the top of the stem.
3. Rotate the handwheel counterclockwise to retract the instrument. The
gland nut may be slackened just enough to reduce turning friction but
not enough to allow a leak.
4. The instrument is fully retracted when the thread from the handwheel
to the top of the seal housing is 700 mm (27.5 in). The valve to the
main line may be shut once this is reached.
5. Once the main valve is shut, the bleed valve may be opened to relieve
pressure.
Caution If fluid continues to come from the bleed valve, the main line
valve is either not completely shut or is faulty. No further action to remove
the retractor or instrument should be taken.
6. If no leakage occurs at the bleed valve, the retractor seal housing top
clamp nut may now be removed with the C Spanner provided.
Caution If the seal housing bleed valve is blocked, the seal housing may
still be under pressure. When the clamp nut is first released, examine for
excessive fluid loss. If further loss is excessive, retighten the clamp nut and
resolve the leak issue before going any further.

Chapter 4
Calibration
Procedure
Density calibration is very specialized and is best performed at the factory

where accuracy and traceability to national standards are guaranteed. Also,
data is processed with factory approved algorithms to produce the best
accuracy calibration. However, if units cannot be returned for regular
calibration, complete the checks outlined below.
If you return a density meter, you must complete the Health and Safety
Clearance Form (provided at the end of Chapter 6). Failure to return this
form may result in the meter being returned.
Note The tests below do not replace works calibration where fiscal
accuracy is required but are useful in checking that the transducer is
working correctly.
Air Checks
With the instrument clean and dry, check the reading of the sensor time
period on air (Tair). Connect the instrument to a power supply and a timer
counter to the signal terminal. Read the periodic time. Alternatively,
connect the instrument to its computer and press the PERIOD key. The
display will read time period in microseconds.
Make necessary corrections according to the section below, and Tair should
correspond closely to the Tair value documented on the calibration
certificate for that unit.
Corrections
For Ni-Span C spools (maximum 75C/167F), the temperature coefficient

is negligible. No correction is needed for the air temperatures different
from the calibration temperature at which Tair was measured.
4-1
Calibration
Procedure
For high temperature instruments (above 75C/167F), measure the

temperature and correct for the difference from the Tair temperature on the
calibration sheet using the temperature coefficient of the spool. Refer to
Temperature Correction at Check Points later in this chapter.
Liquid Checks
In a jar large enough to hold the sensor, take a sample of clean liquid with
density within the instruments calibrated range. Check the sample density
with a hydrometer and its temperature with a thermometer.
Connect the density meter to an Sarasota HC900 or 900 Series flow
computer that is correctly configured and programmed with the density
meter coefficients. Immerse the sensor head completely in the liquid, press
the DENSITY key to read the density calculated by the computer.
If the hydrometer and computer readings differ by more than 2 kg/m3,
move the sensor head in the liquid to help move any bubbles attached to
the spool. Check that the temperature indicated by the computer is
consistent with the temperature of the liquid measured with a
thermometer. If the indication is unstable or still in error, clean the
instrument as detailed in Cleaning (Chapter 5).
Vacuum Point Cleaning
Gas density meters should be checked using Tvac vacuum point check. This
is a check that the time period at vacuum is the same as when tested at
vacuum during factory calibration. Any buildup of dirt on the spool will
give a positive shift to the time period at vacuum, damage to the spool may
cause negative or positive shifts of time period.
The best method of checking the time period at vacuum Tvac of the
transducer is to install it in an approved calibration test chamber. However,
if this impractical, the test can be performed using a seal housing/retractor.
In this scenario, fully withdraw the density meter into the seal housing and
close the isolation valve. If offline, use a blanking flange to seal the housing.
Connect to a vacuum pump and observe the time period as the vacuum is
pulled. Allow time for a good vacuum, which is indicated as a steady period
reading. Note the periodic time and the instrument temperature.
Correct for temperature of Tvac on the calibration sheet and compare the
temperature corrected period with the Tvac on the calibration sheet. The
measured value should be correct to within the accuracy stated for the
instrument on the calibration sheet.
Calibration
Procedure
If there is a large error, check the following:
Temperature Correction
at Check Points
Ensure a vacuum <5 mm of mercury has been obtained (<0.01 kg/m3).
Ensure no dirt or other contamination is affecting the chamber spool or

body.
Ensure there is no damage to the spool.
The temperature coefficient for units fitted with Ni-Span C spools

(maximum 75C/167F) is so small that Tair or Tvac checks can be made
without correcting for the difference between the temperature of the check
and the temperature during the calibration Tair/Tvac .
When high temperature spools (above 75C/167F) are fitted, it is
advisable to make the following correction when doing Tair or Tvac checks:
Tcorr = Tm + Tcof * (1 - 2)
where
Tm = time period in s measured at check conditions
Tcof = temperature coefficient of transducer in s from calibration
certificate
1 = temperature of Tvac or Tair on calibration certificate (C)
2 = temperature of instrument at time of vacuum point check (C)

Maintenance
General
The Sarasota ID900 should be checked and cleaned at every plant

shutdown, unless these are very frequent. When the process fluid is
dirty and more frequent cleaning is required, the instrument should be
installed with the Sarasota RTR900 to enable removal without pipeline
shutdown.
Where the Sarasota ID900 is installed through a 1-inch NPT male
connector Swagelok fitting or with welded flange option, it should be
removed from the pipeline during shutdown.
The Sarasota FD900 should be checked and cleaned every three

months.
Routine maintenance to the Sarasota RTR900 is minimal. If possible, it

should be planned to coincide with maintenance of the density meter
or flow meter, which involves retraction and insertion of the
instrument.

2. Check the gland nut for signs of leakage and tighten if required.
3. Clean off old waterproof grease from the exposed position of the
retractor jackscrew. If the previous grease coating has been ineffective in
protecting the jackscrew, clean the thread using solvent and a clean
wipe. Maintenance frequency may need to be increased.
4. Check the jackscrew for any signs of thread damage, excessive wear, or
bending. If any damage or bending is found, perform the steps outlined
in Two Years/50 Cycles later in this chapter.
5. Apply more grease to the exposed portion of the retractor threaded
jackscrew.
Yearly
1. Fully retract the retractor and remove it from the line. Remove the flow
meter or density meter from the retractor.
2. Unscrew the retractor jackscrew fully from the seal housing and visually
inspect the internal threads of the gland nut and the seal housing insert
for damage or excessive wear.
3. Inspect the gland nut external thread and its mating thread in the seal
housing for signs of damage or excessive wear.
Note A dentist mirror or similar will be required to inspect the seal
housing internal thread insert.
4. Inspect the jackscrew thread for signs of damage or excessive wear.
Maintenance
5. Apply more lubricant to the threads with anti-seizing grease and

reassemble the retractor.
Caution When reassembling the retractor, do not exchange the gland nut
with one from another unit. Gland nuts are machined to fit the seal
housing with which they are supplied. Exchanging gland nuts between
units will either make it impossible to assembly the gland nut/seal
housing/jackscrew, or it will product an assembled retractor which is stiff in
operation due to a small mismatch between internal and external threads of
the gland nut.
6. If the gland nuts are inadvertently exchanged between retractors, a
gland nut/retractor pair can be identified. The gland nut is identified
with the stamp n where n is the number of that retractor within a
batch. The gland body should be marked in the same way.
Two Years/50 Cycles
1. Check the gaskets and vent valve for signs of leakage.

2. Check the gland nut for signs of leakage and tighten if necessary.
3. Retract the density meter and clean and inspect the jackscrew thread for
excessive thread wear, bending, or other signs of deterioration. If any
sign of wear or damage is found on the jackscrew, perform the steps
outlined in Five Years/100 Cycles later in this chapter.
Five Years/100 Cycles
1. Check the gaskets and vent valve for signs of leakage.

2. Check the gland nut for signs of leakage and tighten if necessary.
3. Retract the instrument.
4. Remove the retractor from the isolation valve. Remove the instrument
from the jackscrew, and remove the old gland packing.
5. Wind the jackscrew out of the seal housing.
6. Clean the retractor parts with a brush and solvent. Do an overall
inspection for damage or excessive wear.
5-3
Maintenance
7. Rebuild with new gland nut packing and O-ring. Refer to Gland
Packing later in this chapter.
8. If excessive wear is found, the unit should be inspected by an approved
service agent or returned to the factory for a complete overhaul.
Ten Years/200 Cycles
The unit should be inspected by an approved service agent or returned to

the factory for full service.
Gland Packing
After prolonged use or aging, the gland packing material may become
depressed to the point that it stops sealing correctly. This is apparently
when tightening the gland nut no longer prevents seeping or leaking from
around the gland.
1. The retractor and instrument must be retracted and depressurized
before the gland nut may be unscrewed.
2. Remove the old packing material by inserting a long, thin screwdriver
down into the packing and turning the packing out along the shaft of
the retractor.
Caution Exercise care when handling the threaded jackscrew as damage
may shorten the life of the gland material and increase the potential for
leaks and nut wear.
3. Install the new packing by winding it gently around the screw in the
opposite direction to the thread and carefully working the packing
down into the packing area by using a small screwdriver.
4. Screw down the gland nut, taking care that the sharp end of the gland
nut does not shear off pieces of packing. Tighten down the gland nut
to 75 Nm (55 lbf.ft) applied to the end of the supplied C spanner.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Cleaning
General
Cleaning may be done with trichloroethylene, genklene, Freon, or a similar

solvent.
1. Remove the density meter from the pipeline. Wipe clean the outside
and carefully remove the circlips holding the inlet and outlet filters.
2. Remove and examine the filter discs and O-rings. Clean in an
ultrasonic solvent cleaner bath or replace with new as necessary.
3. The unit can now be cleaned with a solvent cleaner, preferably in an
ultrasonic bath without removing the spool.
4. With the sensor clean and dry, perform a Tair or Tvac check. Refer to
Chapter 4 on calibration.
The accuracy required determines whether further cleaning is desirable.
Cleaning using solvents will not remove any fine magnetic particles which
pass through the filters. If magnetic particles are present and causing a
change in Tair or Tvac, remove and clean the spool according to the
following section.
The Spool
Caution The gas spools are very thin. Exercise extreme caution when
performing any maintenance.
Note Handling the spool or a change in ambient air temperature will
change the Tair reading.
1. Remove the lock ring with the spanner provided. Where process fluid is
not of a harmful nature, you can remove the spool by inserting your
index finger into the spool. Where this is not the case, handle the spool
by the ends, as shown in Figure 51.
5-5
Maintenance
Cleaning
Figure 51. Handling the spool safely

2. Clean the spool and body with soft paper and a suitable detergent or
solvent cleaner.
3. If deposit buildup is heavy or if there are magnetic solids stuck to the
inside of the body near the center, check the filters and increase the
frequency of cleaning.
4. Clamp the body vertically with the spool opening upward.
5. Place the cleaned spool into the cavity in the body, lining up the hole
in the spool with the locating pin in the body.
6. Carefully move the spool up and down to check that it does not bind
on the pin.
7. Install the locking ring and finger-tighten to the spool. Then release
one turn.
8. Move the spool to check freedom of movement and correct seating.
9. Using the supplied spanner, apply steadily increasing pressure in a
clockwise direction to 5.5 Nm (4 lbf.ft), which is the equivalent of
tightening the ring by hand. For best accuracy, use a torque spanner to
tighten the lock ring.
10. When the torque spanner is felt to give, do not continue for more than
a quarter turn. Do not allow the spanner head to click back. Remove
the torque spanner and turn the end by hand until it clicks.
Maintenance
Cleaning
11. Take a reading of Tair to within 0.001 s and note the air temperature.
12. Loosen the lock ring two turns, move the spool to ensure correct
seating, and tighten again as in step 9. Spanner rotation should be at a
constant speed.
13. Repeat the procedure 10 to 15 times until consecutive Tair readings are
to within 0.002 to 0.003 s.
14. The spool is now correctly seated. Perform calibration unless the
measured Tvac shown on the Calibration Sheet has been achieved.

Troubleshooting & Service

General
Troubleshooting
If accuracy faults are found during calibration, refer Chapter 4. If unstable

readings or readings of zero occur, complete these troubleshooting steps.
Table 61. Troubleshooting the Sarasota ID900 & Sarasota FD900
Problem
Possible Solution
Unstable readings
1. Ensure the Sarasota HC900 or flow computer power supply links are correctly set up
for the supply voltage.
2. Ensure the computer or converter is set up correctly by checking through the
configuration data sheet. Check that the sensor serial number calibration coefficients
are the same as documented on the calibration certificate.
3. If the readings are unstable, replace the computer. If using the Sarasota HC900 and
the period readings are stable, check the other variable values used. If there are none,
replace the Sarasota HC900.
4. If the time period and temperature readings are stable, check the signal from the
density meter. The voltage should be above 1 V P-P and stable in frequency. If the
voltage is below 1 V, check zener barriers and field connections.
5. Check the current drawn by the density meter by inserting a milliameter in series
with the positive supply. A liquid density meter consumes approximately 35 mA and a
gas density meter about 20 mA. Also check the terminal voltages at the density meter
amplifier box. Voltage for a liquid density meter should be 2030 Vdc and 1020 Vdc
for gas.
6. If readings are still unstable, remove the instrument. Clean it and check the filter.
Determine the cause of any buildup.
7. On a gas density meter, examine the spool and body immediately after removal and
check for condensation, as well as dirt.
Meter readings at zero
1. If density reading is zero, check the period reading. If it is correct, the fault is
associated with the Sarasota HC900 or flow computer. If the period reading is zero,
check whether there is a period signal from the density meter at the terminal box and
barriers, if used. If not, check the supply to it as described in step 5 for Unstable
readings.
2. If there is no supply, check through the barriers and terminal box connections to the
Sarasota HC900 or flow computer. If no supply is present, replace the Sarasota HC900
or computer.
3. If the supply is correct but there is no signal output from the density meter, ensure
that the instrument is clean and the spool is undamaged (refer to Cleaning in Chapter
5). If the density meter appears clean, contact Thermo Fisher.
6-1
Troubleshooting & Service

Contact Information
Problem
Possible Solution
Meter readings
permanently at full
scale
1. Check the period reading. If correct, then check the Sarasota HC900 or flow
computer for incorrectly entered parameters.
2. If the period is incorrect, check the supply to the density meter described in step 5
for Unstable readings. Check the spool for dirt. If the supply is incorrect, check
through the connections and barriers to the Sarasota HC900 or flow computer. If faulty,
replace or return to manufacturer for servicing.
Meter readings vary

with flow rate
1. If readings are erratic, clean the density meter.

2. If readings are stable, check the installation.

Appendix A
Headmounted Electronics (H
Option)
General
The headmounted electronics (H option) allows you to add a 420 mA

output that is sensor compatible to the standard density meter. Thus, a
direct output of density, or a density related parameter, is available from
the density meter itself, as opposed to using a density converter (Sarasota
HC900) or other secondary device.
The headmounted electronics comprises two printed circuit boards within
the standard amplifier box. Connections are all made via the field terminals
within the amplifier box.
Operation
Two 24V power supplies are required to power the density meter amplifier
and headmounted electronics.
The frequency signal and the resistance value for the PRT are passed to the
HME electronics where the density calculation is done.
Each density meter is calibration at 20C and 1 atmosphere to obtain the
constants used for calculation by the headmounted electronics. The
constants are then modified for 15C reference temperature and are quoted
on the density meter calibration certificate. The constants include:
T0 (s)
(kg/m3)
(s/C)
(s/bar)
The headmounted electronics are calibrated for these constants before

shipment from the factory. The values can be modified using the winHME
PC program and HART model link using HART protocol.
The headmounted electronics reads the PRT resistance and derives the
temperature using a quadratic curve fit (the coefficients are fixed for the
particular PRT temperature range used and are not density meter
dependent).
A-1
Headmounted Electronics (H Option)

Specifications
The density meter period is read and the value modified according to the
temperature calculated.
Density or related parameters are then determined using the standard
Thermo Fisher equations. The calculated value is output and scaled to fall
within the 420 mA range.
Specifications
The following values refer to a 20C reference temperature.

Appendix B
Configuration Program
General
Basic Operation
The HME900 electronics can be configured by use of WinHME900, a

Microsoft Windows-based program that allows you to communicate
with a Thermo Scientific HME densitometer using the HART protocol.
The data held by the densitometer may be read and written. The
densitometer may be calibrated, and the variables may be displayed and
logged in real time.
On start-up, the program displays the Options dialog, allowing you to set
the communications and other options. The program automatically saves
the settings.
When the options are accepted, the program scans the HART bus for
transmitters. When a densitometer is detected, the program reads all the
data contained in the transmitter and opens a window to display it. A
separate window opens for each densitometer detected.
The data can be either read only or read-write. Data which may be changed
is displayed in edit boxes. Once you have made the change, press ENTER
while the cursor is still in the edit box. After an item is written to the
densitometer, it is read back, and the new value is displayed in the edit box
for confirmation.
When changing an item of data affects the operation of the densitometer,
the program will display a suitable prompt and require confirmation before
making the change.
B-1
Appendix C
HART Communications
The HME900 electronics may be interrogated via HART communications
by any system using the HART protocol. HART is a defined protocol, and
the Thermo Scientific system and documentation follows the defined
format. However, there are some transmitter specific commands, and these
are defined in the HME Transmitter Specific Command Specification
(contact Thermo Fisher).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SECTION 1
General Description
Function
The CM200 Density Converter accepts inputs from Sarasota density

meters, thermometry devices (four wire PRT or 4 20mA), a pressure
transducer (4 20mA) and an unassigned input (4 20mA) enabling a
variable to be connected as an input to the Customer Defined Function
(CDF). The converter calculates line (measured) density from the density
meter period output and built in four wire PT100.
The calculated line density can then be used to infer density at reference
conditions, specific gravity, percent solution and other density related
variables (see Applications Section).
Assemblies
and
Connection
The CM200 consists of a DIN size panel mounting enclosure with field
connections at the rear. Connection is via plug in Combicom terminals
2)
(wire size up to 2.5mm for field terminations and 1 metre flying lead for
power input.
The front panel holds the display a set of cursor keys, allowing the user to
view menu displays, and three function keys:
one key to view alarm status
one to display software issue number, and
one, as yet, un-assigned key.
The case is opened by removing the four M3 screws from the top of the
unit and the two M3 screws in the top edge of each side.
Inside the unit there are four assemblies: the mother board, the power
supply regulator, the PT100 signal conditioning card (includes the serial
interface) and the mains seletor switch and fuse assembly.
SAFETY NOTE: REMOVAL OF THE TOP COVER CAN EXPOSE
DANGEROUS (MAINS) VOLTAGE.
Remote Keypad
Programming and configuration is carried out using an infra-red

communicating hand held numeric keypad. The keypad allows full
numeric entry in free format and fixed format (scientific or exponential
form).
Input / Output
There is no input output isolation. The analogue inputs and outputs share
a common zero volt ground.
Care should be taken when connecting to transducers or other
instruments to ensure that no conflict in earth connections causes errors
in signal current paths.
Electrical Safety
Section 1 Page 1 of 2
Before starting any work, ensure that the power connections are isolated
and precautions are taken to prevent power being restored whilst work is
taking place. Particular attention should be paid to installation conditions
specified for hazardous areas. Such installations forbid the use of tools or
equipment which could produce an explosion hazard.

MECHANICAL CONFIGURATION
SECTION 3
Mechanical
Configuration
The CM200 has a fully enclosed case. Terminations are available at
the rear of the instrument via plug-in Combicom terminals, accepting
wire sizes up to 2.5 mm2.
General
The front panel of the instrument consists of a membrane with

mechanical switches behind, giving the advantages of membrane
type switches with the reliability of micro switches. The membrane
can be replaced without dismantling the unit.
All adjustments and fuses are available inside the unit. Access is
gained to the inside by removing the four 5mm screws in the top
cover and the four screws (two either side) in the side (top) of the
unit. The cover can then be removed by lifting from the rear.
SAFETY NOTE: REMOVING THE COVER CAN EXPOSE THE
USER TO DANGEROUS VOLTAGES.
Internal Assemblies
Inside the unit are three removable assemblies, and access to the mains
voltage selector switch, PRT thermometry range links and access to the
transducer supply adjustment.
The internal assemblies are:
Numbered 1. The mains selector switch
Numbered 2. The Communications card and thermometer circuit
Numbered 3. The power supply regulator card
1.
2.
3.
Mains Power Input
The density input conditioning module is available below the

communications card (see the use and configuration section for details on
removing and adjusting these assemblies).
The mains power input is via a 1 metre flying lead. Colours are:
Brown Live
Blue - Neutral
Green / Yellow Earth
The unit should be connected to the line supply via a suitable fused
isolator. NOTE THAT EARTH CONNECTION MUST BE CONNECTED
TO A SUITABLE PROTECTIVE EARTH.
Field Connections
All field connections are made at the rear of the instrument. The
connections are made via two part screw terminals, which may be
unplugged. The density converter does not use all the terminals, some of
which are un-assigned. Mating connectors will only be fitted to the
terminals that have a physical assignment.
Panel Mounting
The CM200 has integral panel mounting lugs (Jacks) which will
accommodate panel thickness up to 5mm. The adjustment and fixing
screws are accessible through the front panel. The fixing lugs are pre-set
by turning the screws anticlockwise. The CM200 is inserted into the panel
and locked in place by tightening the screws (clockwise).
MECHANICAL CONFIGURATION
SECTION 3
Mechanical
Configuration
Panel Cut Out
The dimensions of the required panel cut out are shown on the dimension
drawing. Care should be taken when making the cut out to ensure that the
final size is no greater than 2 mm oversize otherwise the panel
escutcheon may not cover the cut out.
Panel Bonding
The bottom edge of the case of the CM200 is extended past the rear
panel and has two male spade terminals available for additional
bonding.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
SECTION 4
General
The CM200 is control room equipment and should be mounted inside

under controlled environmental conditions for best performance.
The unit must be protected from exposure to liquids (rain, etc.).
The mains input transformer is double insulated. However, the mains input
has input filter arrangement that requires the earth connection to be made
to a suitable protective earth. THE PROTECTIVE EARTH MUST be
connected.
If the unit is to be powered from a 24VDC supply then an external 2 A fuse
should be fitted. The protective earth must still be made to ensure EMC
compatibility.
Hand Held IR Keypad
The CM200 front panel has all the functionality required to run the unit
once it is configured. However, configuration of the unit cannot be carried
out without the infrared keypad. It is suggested that the keypad be kept
local to the CM200, possibly on top of the unit within the panel.
Supply Voltages
The CM200 has a voltage selection switch mounted on the mains input
transformer inside the unit. The supply voltage is noted on the rear panel,
next to the mains input lead. Check that this voltage corresponds to the
input supply voltage.
If a DC supply is to be used then it is connected to the supply input
terminals. The mains supply input cable will still be available, but should
be rolled and tied clear of any inadvertent connection in the rear of the
panel.
Supply voltages to the CM200 should be suitable for process
instrumentation, without excessive fluctuations or transients. Whilst the
unit meets the requirements for CE marking, exceeding the test RFI levels
may cause intermittent operational faults.
Terminal Connections
Connections (General)
The connections at the rear of the CM200 consist of three rows of screw
terminal connectors and one 9 pin D type socket.
The top row of four terminals (space formerly reserved for a parallel port)
are for a four wire 100 ohm PRT connection. The lower two rows of
terminals each have 30 connections. The top row corresponds to odd
numbers (1 to 59). The lower row corresponds to even numbers (2 to 60).
(See the terminal designation table for details of connection designations.)
The 9 pin D type connector has standard connections for serial
communications with full handshaking. (See the serial Communications
section for full details.)

Note:

PRT Temperature input is via connections 1,2,3 and 4 on the communications interface.
Linking terminals 34 and 36 allows the PIN number to be altered and programmed.
SECTION 4
PRT Connection
(General)
The PRT connection is always available. However it is only selected as

the temperature input if the CM200 is configured to use the PRT rather
than the 420 mA temperature input.
The PRT is supplied with an excitation current of approximately 2.0 mA
(via connections 1 and 4). The voltage generated across the PRT is
measured (via terminals 2 and 3) and resistance calculated from V/R.
The temperature is calculated from the resistance using a quadratic fit to
the relevant quadrant (positive or negative) of the international resistance
temperature tables.
PRT Connection
(Intrinsic Safety)
Under normal conditions the resistance of the PRT interconnecting cable

is insignificant, there being no voltage drop across the voltage sense
wiring. However, when connection to the PRT via Zener barriers care
must be taken to ensure that:
A. The barriers do not saturate or leak, changing the current to the PRT
B. That the voltage generated across the combined resistance of the
PRT, field wiring and barrier resistance does nor cause the PRT
current generator to saturate, causing loss of current to the PRT
The suggested barrier for use with the CM200 is 3 Volt 10 ohm. This
device will have an 18 ohm end to end resistance and almost zero
leakage at 0.5 volts. This allows for a maximum field resistance of 200
ohms. Assuming a maximum PRT value of 140 ohms this give a
maximum cable resistance of 24 ohms. Above this value the barrier may
leak.
If higher resistance than this is expected then a barrier should be selected
that does not produce a terminal voltage grater than 2 volts. Therefore the
total loop resistance of the barrier, the PRT and the wiring should be less
than 1 K-ohm.
(See simplified PRT connection diagrams.)
4 20 mA Inputs
The pressure and user and alternative temperature inputs are all 4 20
mA. Each input consists of a reverse connection blocking diode, an over
voltage protection Zener and a 100 ohm sense resistor (to ground).
BEWARE: Whilst reverse connection will cause no problems,
excessive input current may open circuit the input blocking diode, or
damage the sensing resistor.
At 20mA input a voltage of approximately 0.8 volts max will appear at the
terminals.
The inputs are not isolated from instrument ground and care should be
taken if connecting inputs from other devices in series with the CM200.
SECTION 4
4 20 mA Inputs
(Intrinsic Safety)
The 4 20 mA inputs have a common ve connection (Instrument 0V)

and can only accept current into the input (to 0V).
This can cause problems with transducers that are certified with a
maximum power of less than 1.3 Watts or maximum current of 100 mA or
less.
The most common certification parameters allow a 28 V 300 ohm barrier
as the safe area limiter. In these cases the only viable methods of
connection are:
- Via a certified galvanic isolator
- Via a 28V 300 ohm barrier with a diode return
These are also the only acceptable connections when using the ATEX
approved 900H or 900F Sarasota density meters.
See the suggested connection diagram for IS (28V 300 ohm) circuits.

excitation current must be less than 2 volts.
Total System Resistance:
R s = 2 R( Z ) + 2 R( l ) + R( t ) + R( Z )
Maximum voltage generated by the excitation current:
V(V max) = 0.002 RS

And MUST BE less than 2 volts
Also V(l) (Zener leakage voltage) MUST BE less than V(Vmax)

USE AND CONFIGURATION
SECTION 5
General
The CM200 is a general-purpose density converter and must be

configured by the user before putting into use.
The configuration consists of three main operations.
The main configuration defines the type of fluid the expected in the
density meter and the calculations to be carried out.
The constant entry defines the calibration constants (for the density
meter) and all other constants that may be required to carry out the
requested calculations.
The variable entry defines the ranges of variable inputs (pressure /
density/ temperature) as well as the ranges of current outputs and
alarm points.
Configuration is normally carried out using the hand held (infrared)
keypad. The entered values are stored in non-volatile memory and
saved on power down.
Front Panel Controls
The CM200 has limited front panel controls allowing the user to:
Hand Held IR Keypad
Select the Standard Display or display of Raw inputs - Left and

Right Arrows. (34).
Scroll through the selected display - Up and down arrow. (56).
Accept alarms / show alarm list. (F1)

Show Software Issue. (F2)
The infrared hand held keypad has full numerics, sign,
exponential entry keys, as well as all the keys: up, down,
left, right arrow, F1, F2, F3 and alter.
The hand held keypad allows full programming of the
CM200 unit.
The Alter key is used to change modes (go to
programme) and also (in some cases) to toggle between
values in programme choice modes.
SECTION 5
Operator Display Lists
The operator has access to three display lists.

Standard display, showing input values and calculated output values
in engineering units.
Raw Inputs display, showing input values as received at the inputs
and intermediate calculation values for use in defining possible
faults.
Alarm List display, showing all present alarms and faults.
All the above can be displayed either from the CM200 front panel or by
the use of the IR hand held keypad.
All displays have two possible display lists depending on whether the
unit is configured for use with gas or liquid. The following lists show both
options.

SECTION 5
Moving Through Menus When in the configuration mode the general rule for moving through menus
is to scroll through the list Using 56Keys.
To select a menu choice, display the require configuration menu

- Main Setup (for example) and press ALTER to select.
When the configuration (of that section) is complete, then press ENTER
The unit will drop back one menu level.
To exit the configuration menu altogether press SHIFT when in the main
menu list. The unit will drop back to operators mode.
If no action is taken in Configuration Mode then the unit will Time out and
reverts to operators mode.
Full Configuration
If a unit is supplied unconfigured then the following sequence will be

required. The user will need the calibration data sheet (supplied with the
unit) or the means to energise the inputs of the CM200. (Decade resistance
box, 4 20 mA source, current meter, etc.).
Note1: An example of calibration sheet is attached in Appendix 1.
Note2: A separate section on calibration is included in the Calibration /
Service Section of this manual.
Main Setup
The Configuration mode is entered (using ALTER and entering the

CODE).
With MAIN SETUP displayed use the ALTER key to enter this mode.
The MAIN SETUP mode allows the user to define the fluid type, units and
calculations. The following menus and actions are available:
Units
Metric / Imperial
Toggle between Metric and Imperial using the

ALTER Key.
Type Gas / Liquid
Toggle between Liquid and Gas using the
ALTER Key.
Depending on the section of Gas or Liquid two menus are available. Some
of the options are the same in Gas or Liquid mode. However, two complete
menu lists are included for simplicity on this and the following page.

Notes on Az / Bz
Az and Bz are constants used in the calculation of compressibility using the

Redlich Qwong equation of state. In the CM200 two choices are available:
a) Az Bz calculated from Molecular Weight or b) Az Bz entered by the user.
Where the gas is of known average constituency entered Az and Bz are
used. Where the gas constituents change dramatically it is often best to
select Az Bz calculated from M.W. However, the calculation of Az Bz from
molecular weight is only valid where the gas is predominately a hydrocarbon mixture.
Set Constants
This mode is entered by scrolling to the Set Constants display and using
the ALTER key. The constants required by the calculations can now be
entered.
Note that two menus are available depending on the previous selection of
Gas / Liquid. Also note that a constant may be left without setting if the
calculation using the constant is not enabled.
SECTION 5
Liquid Option Chosen
Set Constants
(Continued)
T0
T0 is a calibration constant relating to the Sarasota density

meter and should be read from the calbration sheet Constants
at 15 degrees C. If the meter is a gas type then two sets of
calibration sheets will be provided. One set will have Vib dim
= 0 and one set will have a vib dim with a non zero value. Vib
dim is a correction factor for velocity of sound effect and is
normally supplied to correct the nitrogen calibration figures for
use with methane gasses. If vib dim is entered (later in the
setting sequence) then the calibration data from the cal sheet
with the Vib dim figure must be used. This applies to D0 and K.
D0
D0 is a calibration constant relating to the Sarasota density

meter and should be read from the calibration sheet and
entered in the same way as T0.
K is a calibration constant relating to the Sarasota density

meter and should be read from the calibration sheet and
enterd in the same way as T0.
Vibd
Vib dim is a calibration constant used to correct the meter for

velocity of sound effect and should be read from the calibration
certificate. (See T0 section).
Tco
Tco is the temperature coefficient (TC) which must be applied

to T0 to correct the density meter for temperature effect. Tco
should be read from the density meter calibration sheet.
Pco
Pco is the pressure coefficient (TC) which must be applied to

T0 to correct the density meter for pressure effect. Pco should
be read from the density meter calibration sheet.
Tcal
Tcal is the temperature at which the density meter was

calibrated. This is normally set to 15C for a Sarasota density
meter.
Pcal
Pcal is the pressure at which the density meter was calibrated.

This is normally set to 1.01325 BarA for a Sarasota density
meter.
DCF
DCF is a density correction factor which is applied to line

density. i.e. Line density = Line density * DCF.
DCF is normally set to 1 and adjusted in the field to correct for
small changes in sensitivity of the density meter.
Doff
Doff is an offset adjustment that is added to line density such

that line density = line density + doff.
Doff is normally set to 0.
SECTION 5
Set Constants
(Continued)
Pref
Pref is the reference pressure at which density at ref is

calculated and is normally set to 1.01325 barA dependant on
standards being used. P ref may be set to any required value
by the user. Pref is also used in calculating the density of air
used in S.G. calculations.
Tref
Tref is the reference temperature at which density at ref is

calculated and is normally set to 15 or 0C dependent on
standards being used. Tref may be set to any required value
by the user. Tref is also used in calculating the density of air
used in S.G. calculations.
Isen
Isen is the average Isentropic exponent of the gas being

metered. (CP/CV) and should be calculated for each
application.
A general good figure for hydrocarbons is 1.3.

When all the required data is entered ENTER causs the
UDF to be calculated and stored in the CM200 memory.
SECTION 5
Set Factors
Three defineable factors are available in the CM200. Only one of these
factors is fully defined and is used to calibrate the Period input circuit.
The factor is calculated as [1 - (Displayed Period / input period)] when
measured with a factor of 0 entered.
To enter the factor scroll to Set Factors and use the ALTER key.
The followings will be displayed.

Set Averaging
Enter the required value from the numeric keypas and press
ENTER. To exit from the mode press ENTER without
changing any data.
The CM200 has a rolling averaging feature that can be configured to allow
averaging of the inputs, giving smoother results where an input is
unstable.
The user has the option of including up to five samples in each average.
To ensure a quick response to a real step change in input the averaging
can be arranged such that a change of input greater than a defined
percentage of scale will restart the averaging from the new value.
To do this the user enters two numbers, the number of samples in the
average (0 to 5). Note that if the numbers of samples in the average is 0
or 1 then no averaging is carried out. The user also enters the percentage
band within which averaging is carrired out.
Three averaging filters are available and are assigned as follows:
1. Pressure Input.
2. Temperature Input
3. Frequency / period input.
To set averaging scroll to Set Averaging and use the ALTER key.
Filter
The display shows the filter number as a superscript followed

by equals 1 10%.

Filter = 1 10%
The first number is the number of samples in the average
(range is 1 5), while the percent is the step change at which
averaging will be reset.
SECTION 5
Cal Pressure
This allows the user to assign engineering values to the pressure

analogue input. Assuming initial calibration is carried out then up to five
mA / engineering unit points can be assigned to the input curve, allowing
non-linear input devices to be used and linearised. If only the full scale
and zero of the transducer is known then the first two input calibration
data locations are used and the others set to zero.

Setup RS232
The RS232 port allows interface between most computers, with a simple
command structure. If you have WINDOWS 3.1 running on your computer
you may try out the command structure by running the Terminal
program. However, the successful use of the communication port requires
that several communications parameters be entered by the user to ensure
the CM200 and attached terminal equipment can talk to each other.
The user enters the Set up Routine using the ALTER key.
BAUD
The ALTER key changes the baud rate (data rate) each
time it is used, 1220 baud or 9600 baud are slectable. The up

Setting Line Voltage
The unit will normally be supplied with the hardware configured for use.
However in cases where the user changes the process conditions of supply
type after purchase modifications to the hardware settings may be required.
Possible configuration changes are:
Mains Supply Line Voltage.
PRT Thermometry input ranges.
Change of Transducer Supply Voltage.
Change of Period input conditioning module.
The top of the unit should
be removed. (See section
3.) The mains voltage
selector is mounted on the
top of the input transformer.
The switch should be

PRT Input Ranges
The PRT circuit is ranged by

two links. The positions are
shown. Marked Link 1 and
Link 2.
The link can be closed or

If the range of the PRT is changed then the constants (volt / resistance
pairs) programmed in the CAL PT100 set configuration section will have to
be re-entered. The volt / resistance figures are available on the test results
sheet shipped with the CM200, (See Appendix).

connectors, below the PRT
interface card.
The PRT interface card must
be removed by undoing the
two mounting screws and
carefully unplugging the card
from the socket extender, while manipulating the PRT and communications
connectors out of the rear panel. When the PRT card is removed care
should be taken to ensure that the output wires, which are permanently
connected between the PRT card and the main PCB, are not broken.
The PRT card should be moved to one side. The plug-in module will be
visible. Remove the old module (or links) and replace with the new module,
ensuring that, with the front panel of the unit toward you, the unit plugs into
the last four connections on your right.
CALIBRATION
SECTION 7
Calibration
General
Whilst the unit inputs can be configured to read engineering units by

entering mA or Volt values and corresponding engineering values, and the
mA or voltage inputs can be related to zero, and full scale of the inputs via
the calibration record sheet (typical example in Appendix), there are two
other possible calibration requirements for each analogue input:
1. Unit is calibrated with a live transducer input.
2. The unit requires calibration of raw inputs due to loss of data or some
such incident.
The analogue outputs have laser trimmed zero and full-scale points.
However, a procedure is described that allows the user to minimise the
remaining errors:
Current Inputs
(Live TX input)
The procedure for each of the analogue inputs is similar in both cases.
The procedure for each analogue output is similar.
The procedure for the period input is unique to the input.
This procedure is common to all current inputs.

Connect the transducer to the input. Define the number of calibration points
to be used (2 5). Note that zero and full-scale must be included.
Select Raw Inputs

ohms, preferably 0.01 ohms.
The required range is set (PT100 input card) and the Raw inputs display

As already noted, it is unlikely that this calibration will need to be carried out
unless the instrument has suffered some major trauma such as out of
programme errors or software lock-up.
This calibration defines the slope and zero for each of the analogue inputs
and involves establishing zero and slope coefficients for each input. These
constants are expressed as Factors (slope correction) and Zeros (zero
correction) factors.
The method is similar for all analogue inputs. The units are mA for the
current inputs and Volts for the PT100 input.
An example is given for the pressure input.
Raw Input Cal
The control for Raw Input calibration is held in a sub-menu (menu-2) within
the configuration menu.
To enter the menu, enter the configuration mode (ALTER + Code) the press
the up arrow and then left arrow. Hold both keys down for approximately 2
seconds. MENU 2 will be displayed.
Using up and down arrow scroll to ANALOG INPUTS. Press ALTER and
1
FAC will be displayed. This relates to analogue input 1 and must be set to
1 before going further, The next Location is OFF1. This must be set to 0
before going further. Scrolling upward the next location is ZER1. This
relates to zero cut-off and should be set to slightly lower than the zero mA
or voltage signal (3.99mA for 4 20 mA).
The above should be carried out for each input (to be calibrated).
Each input should energised (in turn) using a suitable mA or voltage source.
For mA inputs a zero and 20mA signal should be injected and a note made
of the raw inputs at each point.
New factors can now be calculated. ZER = vallue at zero mA or volt input,
FAC = 20 / (Full scale Raw input value Zero Raw input value)

FAC = 1.25 *10
Having established values for each constant, re-enter MENU 2 and reenter all required constants.
Analogue Outputs
The 4 20 mA output circuit is laser trimmed at zero so requires no

further zero adjustment. The full scale of the system is adjustable to
compensate for errors in scaling of earlier circuits.
Scaling is carried out by entering the bit value that corresponds to 20mA
output into the location in MENU 2-, ANALOG OUTPUTS, FAC1,
2, or 3, Fac representing FACTOR and the suffix 1, 2 or 3 the output
number.
The default bit value is 4095 and must be entered before calibration
is carried out.
Enter MENU 2- (Up arrow and right arrow together) scroll to ANALOG
OUTPUTS and scroll to the required factor. Ensure that 4050 is entered.
If not enter the value. Exit ANALOG OUTPUTS by pressing ENTER
without having changed any data and then CLEAR. Exit programme
mode.
In the run mode arrange the inputs such that a, near full scale, output is
obtained. Note the actual output. The new calibration full scale factor is:
(Expected Output (mA) / Actual Output (mA))*4095 This figure should be
entered into the ANALOG OUTPUT factor position.
This should be done for each of the outputs and the calculated factors reentered.
Period Calibration
The period calibration factor is entered in the SET FACTORS section

(Section 5).
To calculate the correction factof, firstly the existing factor must be set
to 1. An accurate and stable frequency (period) input must be injected into
the period input. (1 to 3 KHz).
In the Raw Inputs display read the displayed period.
The correction factor is [1- (Displayed Period / Input Period)] and will be
close to one.

the power supply.
Unit operates but is inaccurate.
Constants associated with input

or output devices are incorrectly
entered. Check instrument
database against configuration
data.
Unit operates but the display is

garbled or corrupt.
If display cannot be corrected by

removing power and restarting
then initiate a WARM START.

If faults cannot be corrected by

removing power and restarting
then initiate a WARM START.
If this fails then initiate a COLD
START.
The transformer and rectifier are protected with a 20mm 315mA slow bow
fuse. This should only be replaced with a similar type. The fuse is
protected with an insulating cover. This cover should always be replaced.
SAFETY WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE FUSE
WITHOUT ISOLATING FROM THE SUPPLY.
The fuse is located on the transformer rectifier card, next to the voltage
selector and section 6 (setting line voltage) for location of voltage selector.
See section 3 to gain access to the transformer / fuse location.

Replacing DC Fuses
Resettable Fuse
Fuse Link
A self-resetting fuse and a standard fuse link protect the DC transducer

supply. The plastic fuse is rated at 600mA and the fuse link at 1.6A. They
are replaced by removing and soldering in the replacements.
Warm Restart
IF THE DISPLAY SHOWS CORRUPT DATA THEN WARM START MAY

CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
The warm re-start re-initialises all the programme data and constants in
RAM, without overwriting any configuration data. In the event of a possible
software fault this recovery method may re-start the system without
requiring any re-configuration.
Running a warm start-up will save time in re-programming all the input
linearisation data, which is lost when a cold start is performed, as the warm
start only repairs the data stored in RAM
If the warm start is successful and the displayed data becomes corrupt
again at a later date, then check that any local contactors / relays have
snubber networks fitted, as spikes can be the main cause of RAM failure.
Ensure also that the power supplying the instrument is reasonably clean.
Instigating a Warm
Restart
Make sure unit is powered down.

Press and hold the EXP/unit key.
While remote is pointing at the CM200 re-connect power
TheCM200 screen will display RESET DISPLAY
Wait for 5 seconds for the unit to return to normal display. The display
should be as normal, although the display idents / units will have been
changed back to default. See DISPLAY IDENTS AND UNITS to set-up as

Alteration of the Primary Display Legends and Units.

To enable the user to customise the primary displays of the CM200, a
feature has been incorporated allowing the display designation and the
units of measurement to be altered. A maximum of five characters on the
left-hand side of the display may be altered, the display designation, and
three characters on the right hand side, the units.
When in the normal running mode, select the display to be altered using

Press the SHIFT key followed by the EXP/UNIT key and the cursor will
begin to flash at the far right hand side of the display.
Use the keys to select the required character for that position and the
keys to alter the position of the cursor. Using these keys, the units on
the right hand side may be altered.
To move the cursor to the left hand side of the display press the ALTER
key and the cursor will move across.
Use the keys to select the required character for that position and the
keys to alter the position of the cursor. Using these keys the display
designation may be altered.

Display Idents. and
Units
(Modification)
If at any time during the set-up an error occurs then pressing the CLEAR
key will revert all characters to those set-up in the eprom.
Once the desired characters have been programmed then pressing the
ENTER key will store them in that display.
Use the keys to select another display to be altered and repeat the
above stages.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Where a maximum number of digits are to be
displayed e.g. on total, it is advised that the display designation is
limited to four or fewer characters, otherwise the displays will
overlap causing apparent corruption. If this should occur then the
number of characters for the display designation should be reduced,
after which the display will return to normal.
In some cases the unit may prevent changes to the display. This is
because the instrument needs to have these displays fixed to run
correctly. See any special instructions supplied.

Function
To enable the computation of more complex functions based on the

standard HME variables the HME has a look up table facility. Any function
using the calculated or input variables may be calculated even if the
relationship is non-linear.
There are 122 variables allocated to the look up table. Given this total the
look up table can have any number of rows and columns such that the
total variable usage is not greater than 122.
The HME calculates the CDF value by interpolation over the look up table.

Exponential Number
Entry
Because of limitation of display resolution it is sometimes necessary to

enter numbers in standard (exponential) format. For instance, assuming a
display length of 6 digits, the number 0.000101457 can only be entered as
.000101 giving a 0.5% error in number entry. Moving to standard form, the
-4
number would be entered as 1.01457 *10 giving full entry accuracy.
To enter in exponential (standard) format, enter the first part of the number
as normal:- 1.01457. Press the EXP key. (Two digits of exponent 00 will
appear). Enter the exponent (4) then change the sign of the exponent by
pressing SHIFT and then the +/- key.
Modification of Units
Display
For inputs (such as the user input) that have un-defined units it is necessary
to add the units when configuring the instrument. This is done in the normal
run mode using the remote keypad.
To enter the mode press SHIFT and then EXP/UNIT keys. The cursor will
flash on the units display (your right hand side of the display). The left and
right arrow keys () can be used to select the character to be changed,
whilst the up down arrows () are used to change the selected character.
To move over to the display name (your left-hand side) press the ALTER
key. This part of the display can be changed in the same way as the units.
Note: If errors are made or the user decides not to change a display that
has been edited then pressing the CLEAR key will cause the display to
revert to its original state. If the edited display is correct then it can be
changed permanently by pressing ENTER.
Note: The display title should be limited to a maximum of 4 characters
to avoid the title and displayed value corrupting each other.
