Preparation Before Setup

Before starting quick setup, please confirm the following conditions are met to avoid configuration errors or equipment damage.

  • The instrument is installed correctly, and the pipe is full of medium without bubbles.
  • The power supply meets the nameplate requirements (usually 24 VDC or 220 VAC).
  • Medium parameters have been obtained: density, viscosity, flow range, etc.
  • Prepare operation tools: handheld terminal or commissioning software (such as FieldCare).

Quick Setup Steps

Follow the steps below to quickly complete the basic configuration of the Prowirl 73. Each step must be confirmed before proceeding to the next.

  1. Power on and start: Connect the power supply, wait for the instrument self-test to complete, and the main interface appears on the display.
  2. Enter the quick setup menu: Select the "Quick Setup" option via the handheld terminal or local keys.
  3. Select medium type: Select gas, steam, or liquid according to the actual medium.
  4. Enter pipe parameters: Set the pipe inner diameter, wall thickness, etc., ensuring consistency with the site.
  5. Set flow units: Select engineering units (such as m³/h, kg/h) and enter the full scale value.
  6. Configure output signal: Select 4-20 mA, pulse, or HART output, and set the corresponding range.
  7. Save and exit: After confirming all parameters, save the settings; the instrument automatically restarts and enters measurement mode.

Key Parameter Reference Table

The table below lists common parameters and their typical values in quick setup for reference by engineering technicians.

Parameter Description Typical Value/Options
Medium type Select the measured medium state Gas / Steam / Liquid
Pipe inner diameter Consistent with the site pipe DN15 ~ DN300
Flow unit Volume or mass flow unit m³/h, kg/h, t/h
Output signal Analog or digital output 4-20 mA + HART

Setup Precautions

To ensure long-term stable operation, please note the following points:

  • Avoid long-term operation near full scale; it is recommended that the common flow be between 20% and 80% of the range.
  • When the medium temperature changes greatly, the temperature compensation function needs to be enabled.
  • Regularly check whether the sensor is contaminated and clean it if necessary.
  • After modifying parameters, be sure to save them; otherwise, the settings will be lost after power off.

Summary

The Prowirl 73 quick setup process is concise, but it is necessary to ensure that the medium parameters and pipe data are accurate. Follow the above steps to quickly complete commissioning and ensure measurement accuracy. For more detailed advanced configuration, please refer to the official manual or contact technical support.
