1 Safety instructions

1.1 Designated use

The Fieldcheck flow simulation system may only be used for the simulation of sensor signals with a
flowmeter of the Proline equipment generation from Endress+Hauser. The device is normally
installed by service technicians who are familiar with the function and operating method of the
equipment. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages resulting from incorrect use.

# Warning!
Fieldcheck may not be used in hazardous areas without corresponding safety measures.

1.2 Operational safety

• The manufacturer reserves the right to modify technical data without prior notice. Please contact
your E+H distributor for information on modifications or updates of these Operating Instructions.
• The measuring system complies with the general safety requirements in accordance with EN
61010, the EMC requirements of EN 61326/A1 and NAMUR Recommendation NE 21.

1.3 Notes on operating Fieldcheck in an environment with

strong electromagnetic interference

1.3.1 Radiated RF noise (EN 61326-1)

To operate Fieldcheck with a Proline flowmeter in the simulation and verification mode, the
electronics and connection compartments must first be opened. In this mode, the radiated RF noise
will not exceed the industrial limits (EN 61326-1).
In a heavily disturbed (EMC) environment, you must expect that the operation of both Fieldcheck
and the flowmeter may be temporarily affected. We recommend that - when using Fieldcheck - you
take care to ensure effective ESD protection for the affected measuring point and the operator.
If necessary, the measuring equipment can be reset:
• Via the local controls
• By interrupting the voltage supply
• By restarting Fieldcheck.

Commissioning Proline Fieldcheck

5 Commissioning

5.1 Function check

Make sure that Fieldcheck is correctly connected to the measuring device that is to be simulated
(→ Page 8 ff.). The measuring device must be working free of errors in order for a simulation or
verification to be started.

5.2 Commissioning
Fieldcheck is powered via an adapter or via the storage battery included in the delivery. Before the
simulation, make sure that the storage batteries are fully charged. To ensure correct commissioning
you are advised to abide by the processes as they are described on Page 8 ff.
Fieldcheck switches itself on automatically as soon as one of the connecting cables is inserted.
Fieldcheck performs a number of self-tests after power-on. As this procedure progresses, diverse
messages which have to be acknowledged appear on the local display.
You know that Fieldcheck is ready for operation when the HOME position appears on the display.
If batteries are being used, the charge status of the battery pack also appears (Page 19 ff.).

5.2.1 Charging the battery

The battery is charged automatically as soon as the power unit or the car-adapter cable is connected
to Fieldcheck. The charging time is less than 3 hours if there is no simulation in progress. When the
battery is fully charged it is switched to conservation charging. The charging time is considerably
longer during a simulation.
The charge status is displayed in the HOME position via the charge status icon (Page 19 ff.).

Proline Fieldcheck Maintenance

6 Maintenance
Fieldcheck requires no special maintenance.

" Caution!
To prevent a low discharge of the battery in case of not using Fieldcheck for a longer period it is
recommended to charge the device every quarter of a year.
Exterior cleaning
When cleaning the exterior of measuring devices, always use cleaning agents that do not attack the
surface of the housing.

10.1.2 Group VERIFICATION

In the VERIFICATION group, a measuring device can be checked for the following characteristic
values.
• Functionality and deviation in the flow measurement (based on the set point preset by Fieldcheck)
• Functionality and deviation of the current and frequency outputs if these outputs are available in
the measuring device. The specified set points correspond in the gradation to the measuring
points when determining flow.
Data bus outputs such as PROFIBUS or FOUNDATION FIELDBUS cannot be directly checked by
Fieldcheck.
• Static and dynamic characteristic values of the magnetic field and electrodes.

Verification of the transmitter

Checking the linearity of the amplifier:
Simulated flow at four measuring points which are determined via the 100% full scale value (can be
selected for a presumed fluid velocity between 4 m/s and 8 m/s).
Checking a current output:
Each current output can be verified in the configuration in the measuring device (CURRENT
RANGE function (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA) in the same gradation (5% ... 100%) as the amplifier. For this
purpose, the current output must be directly connected to the current input of the Fieldcheck. If
more than one current output is available, verification takes place in several, menu-guided steps.
Checking a frequency output
(FREQUENCY operating mode, (not for "Promag 10" type devices):
Each frequency output can be verified in the configuration in the measuring device (START VALUE
FREQUENCY, END VALUE FREQUENCY, OUTPUT SIGNAL functions) in the same gradation ( 5%
... 100% ) as the amplifier. For this purpose, the frequency output must be directly connected to the
frequency input of the Fieldcheck. If more than one frequency output is available, verification takes
place in several, menu-guided steps.
A frequency output cannot be checked on "Promag 10" type devices.
Checking a frequency output (PULSE operating mode):
Each pulse output available can be verified in the configuration in the measuring device (PULSE
VALUE, PULSE WIDTH, OUTPUT SIGNAL functions). For this purpose, the flow specified by
Fieldcheck must trigger at least one pulse within 30 s. Otherwise, 0 PULSE is specified. In this
instance, the output is not completely tested in its components.

Verification of the sensor

Coil current test:
For testing the sensor (for the electromagnetic measuring principle) the rise time of the coil current
and further magnetic field-relevant characteristic variables are determined and compared with the
corresponding set points. Exceeding the limit values leads to a FAILED message in the results
presentation.

" Achtung!
Electrode integrity test (not for "Promag 10" type devices):
When testing the sensor the electrode integrity test is carried out at the end of the verification. For
this the measuring tube must be filled and the sensor signal cable must be inserted into the
measuring amplifier socket. A corresponding message appears in the display and you are given the
option to CONTINUE or CANCEL.

12.1.1 Group SIMULATION

Please note the following:
• In contrast to electromagnetic or Coriolis measuring devices, a gap-free flow range 0 - Qmax
cannot be simulated with vortex flowmeters. Below a certain fluid speed (approx. 0.15 m/s for
water), the amplitude of the vortex signal becomes so small that it is no longer possible to record
the measured value. For this reason, when setting the simulated flow, the values 0, the smallest
flow Qmin and the largest flow Qmax are displayed.
• The flow value actually simulated can deviate slightly from the value entered in the FLOW 1/2
function. The value actually simulated is displayed on the first line in the HOME position of the
Fieldcheck local display.

12.1.2 Group VERIFICATION

In the VERIFICATION group, a measuring device can be checked for the following characteristic
values.
• Functionality and deviation in the flow measurement (based on the set point preset by Fieldcheck)
• Functionality and deviation of the current output and optional pulse output if these outputs are
available in the measuring device. The specified set points correspond in the gradation to the
measuring points when determining flow.
Fieldbus outputs such as PROFIBUS or FOUNDATION FIELDBUS cannot be directly checked by
Fieldcheck.
! Note!
The device can be tested at its mounting location; power is supplied by the switching unit
connected to the current output. In order to test the current output for accuracy at the mounting
location, it must be disconnected from the switching unit and connected to the Fieldcheck
current input.

Verification of the transmitter

Checking the linearity of the amplifier:
Simulated flow at four measuring points which are determined via the 100% full scale value (for a
presumed fluid velocity of 8 m/s for liquids and 60 m/s for gases/steam).
Checking the current output:
The current output can be verified in the configuration in the measuring device (CURRENT RANGE
function (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA) in the same gradation (5% ... 100%) as the amplifier. For this purpose,
the current output must be directly connected to the current input of the Fieldcheck.
Checking the pulse output:
An existing pulse output can be verified in the configuration in the measuring device (PULSE
VALUE, PULSE WIDTH, OUTPUT SIGNAL functions). For this purpose, the pulse output must be
directly connected to the frequency input of the Fieldcheck.

Evaluation of the results

During verification, the current verification test section is displayed in the 'HOME position'. The
results can be shown on the display once verification is complete. They can be filed in FieldCheck
under a storage location number of your choice (up to max. 20) together with the measuring device
serial no. and the measuring device tag name.
Via a connection with the FieldTool software, a protocol of the results can later be printed out and
the data from the verification can be stored in an archive file system.

Function group LIMIT VALUES

You can specify the limit values for measured variables in this function group. If the deviation of a
verification step (see OPERATION, P. 38) lies within the configured limit values the result is
PASSED; if it lies outside of this range the result is FAILED. For a quick and unambiguous
identification, the FAILED results are presented inversely on the display.

Function group PARAMETER

Verification of the amplifier takes place along four measuring points MP1...MP4. Use this function
group to enter the two selectable measuring points MP2 and MP3 (in % of the full scale value).

! Note!
The value of MP1 is predetermined (5% of the full scale value MP4).

Function description
FUNCTION → VERIFICATION → PARAMETER

FLOW 100% Use this function to display the full scale value of the verification flow.

In liquid applications, the 100% value usually corresponds to a fluid velocity of 8 m/s
and a velocity of 60 m/s in gas/steam applications.

MEASURING POINT Use this function to enter the measuring points MP2 and MP3 (in % of the full scale
2/3 value).

User input:
MP2: integer between 10 and 90
MP3: integer between 15 and 95

! Note!
• The value of MP2 must be less than the value of MP3.
• Both values are stored permanently.
• In demanding measuring applications, the usable measuring range of the vortex
measuring device can be restricted to such an extent that the lower MP1 verification
measuring point cannot achieve the 5% value. In this instance, the minimum which
can be achieved of the measurable flow is determined and calculated as a % value of
the maximum value MP 4 and displayed. MP2 and MP3 are then determined again
as default values and displayed. However, they are not saved when the work with
Fieldcheck is completed.
Unit:

Factory setting:
MP2: 10 %
