Quick Setup
Quick Setup
The procedures described in this section assume you will access the menu items
directly.
The minimum data needed to make a density measurement is listed below.

Setup
– Pipe inside diameter

– Mea #1 reading for 20.00 mA output
– Mea #1 reading for 4.000 mA output
– Position of decimal in readout 1
– Cal density point 1
– Standardization and/or Calibration
There are four methods of standardization: on water, on process, deferred, and other.
Standardization
Standardization on water is the most common standardization method. In this case,

Cal density point 1 would be .9982 (density of water at 20°C).
Standardization can be done on process by taking process samples during the
standardization cycle. The average of these samples is then entered into the Cal density
point 1. In many cases, no other calibration is needed for the gauge to operate
satisfactorily.
Standardization may be deferred if the process is running and cannot be stopped to
standardize on water or empty pipe. When standardization is deferred, the
standardization is skipped and a calibration is done in the same manner
standardization on process is done. At any time later, the standardization can be done
on water or an empty pipe.
Other methods of standardization are on an empty pipe and on fluid other than the
process. When either of these other methods is used, a first point calibration must be
done on process. The standardization in this case is not associated with any process
density. It is only a repeatable radiation condition. The first point calibration is
associated with the standardization through the first point calibration density and a
CAL/STD ratio where the ratio is equal to the signal at the calibration density divided
by the standardization signal.
A-xx DensityPRO User Manual Thermo Scientific

Quick Setup
Calibration
There are two types of calibration: a one point calibration and a two point calibration.
Calibration
The two calibration points allow you to have two calibration points in the region of
interest, and standardization can then be used to compensate for pipe wear and process
buildup on the pipe walls. The first point calibration can be thought of as an offset. It
will move the response curve up or down.
The second point calibration is a slope correction. The slope correction pivots around
the first cal point. The slope can be set using the second point calibration or entered
directly.
If the gauge is standardized on water or on process, the standardization serves as the
first calibration point.

Product Overview
Note: This manual provides user instructions for the DensityPRO,

Introduction DensityPRO-T, DensityPRO NAI and DensityPRO NAI+ gauges. For the
purposes of this manual, DensityPRO will refer to the complete family of
gauges, unless otherwise specified.
The Thermo Scientific DensityPRO family of gauges has been designed to provide
reliable, accurate process material density measurements for a wide variety of
challenging applications. The instrument is mounted outside of the process vessel and
never contacts the process material. It can also measure the density of almost any
liquid, slurry (solid material in a carrier fluid), emulsion (two different fluids), or
solution (a solute material dissolved in a solvent fluid).
After the gauge calculates the process material density, it can convert the measurement
into a number of forms. For slurries, the gauge can provide measurements based on the
ratio of solid to carrier. Similar measurements can be made for emulsions and
solutions.
By inputting flow data, the gauge can generate mass flow measurements. It can also
accept a 4–20 mA current output from a magnetic flow sensor. For applications that
require temperature compensation, the gauge accepts a temperature input to
compensate the density measurement for changes in process temperature.
The gauge consists of the source head, which contains the radioisotope source, and the
detector-transmitter, which contains the scintillator detector and electronics. The
radioisotope source emits gamma radiation that passes through the process material.
The detector measures the energy of the radiation arriving at the detector after passing
through the process material (and vessel walls). The gauge determines the density of
the process material by measuring the amount of radiation arriving at the detector,
which varies with the density of the process material.
Figure 1-1. DensityPRO Measurement System
Thermo Scientific DensityPRO User Manual 1-1

Product Overview
Function
Function
A Cesium (Cs-137) radioisotope source is used for most applications, and a Cobalt
Source (Co-60) source is available for applications requiring a higher energy source. The
radioisotope is bound in ceramic or glass pellets and doubly encapsulated in a pair of
sealed stainless steel containers. The resulting source capsule is highly resistant to
vibration and mechanical shock.
The source capsule is further enclosed in the source head, a lead-filled, welded steel
housing. A shaped opening in the lead shielding directs the gamma radiation beam
through the process material towards the detector. Outside of the beam path, the
energy escaping the source head is very low and well within prescribed limits. Closing
the source shutter allows the beam to be turned off (the shutter blocks the radiation)
during installation or servicing of the gauge. All source housings meet or exceed the
safety requirements of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and
Agreement State regulations. Refer to the gamma radiation safety guide (P/N 717904).
The gauge uses a scintillator-type detector to measure the radiation reaching the
Detector detector from the source. The detector consists of either a special NaI (sodium iodide)
Transmitter scintillator material or a PVT (polyvinyl toluene) scintillator material coupled to a
photomultiplier tube with the associated electronics. When radiation strikes the
scintillator material, small flashes of light are emitted. As the density of the process
material increases, more gamma radiation is absorbed by the process material and fewer
light pulses are generated by the scintillator material. The photomultiplier tube and
associated detector electronics convert the light pulses into electrical pulses that are
processed to determine the process material density and related measurement values.
Communication with the gauge is via the RS485 and RS232 serial ports, USB, or
Communications & Ethernet from a PC running EZ Cal II software. Once the gauge is set up, the primary
Measurement measurement (density) can be viewed on the display and on the EZ Cal II software.

Product Overview
Additional Documents
Thermo Fisher’s Dynamic Process Tracking (DPT) ensures there is no lag time in the
Instantaneous system’s response to significant changes in process density. When changes reach a user
Response set threshold, the DPT feature reduces the normal averaging time constant to a faster,
user-set time constant, ensuring a rapid, smooth output response. When the process
stabilizes, the time constant automatically goes back to the original setting, to reduce
the fluctuations inherent in radiation-based measurements. In this way, process density
changes are immediately reflected in the transmitter output, while the effects of
statistical variations in the radiation measurement are greatly reduced.
Select up to four measurement values for display: density, bulk density, solid and

Startup & the Setup Wizard
When power is applied to a DensityPRO gauge connected to the EZ Cal II software, a

Booting message will be displayed on screen informing the user that the system is booting.
During the booting process, the only keys on the gauge’s keypad that maintain
functionality are the contrast keys, represented by up and down arrows.
If the user adjusts the contrast during the booting process, the gauge will save the new
Adjusting Contrast contrast setting once booting is complete. If no change in contrast is made, the
While Booting previously saved contrast setting will be applied to the display screen.
The keypad is a five by five membrane keypad comprised of input keys and operational
Keypad keys. The numeric keys 0 through 9 and the character keys representing a decimal
Overview point (.) and a dash (-) allow the user to input data into the gauge using the keypad.
The arrow keys allow the user to scroll through information on the screens.
Additionally, the up and down arrow keys are used to adjust the display contrast. The
F1, F2 and F3 keys provide different functionalities based on the information on the
display. Some of the functionalities include moving the user back to the previous
screen, moving the user forward to the next screen, selecting a field for editing, and
submitting newly-input information.
The menu screens organize data collected by the DensityPRO gauge into categories
Using the Keypad and subjects designed to help direct the user to the correct data. The organization of
with the Menu the display menu screens is very similar to that of the EZ Cal II software. Using the up
and down arrows allows the user to scroll through the menu items on the display
Screens screen until reaching the desired category of information. Pressing the F1 key will
bring the user back to the previous screen, while the F3 key will move the user to the
next screen associated with the selected menu.
Note: The up and down arrows can only scroll through menu items when
viewing the menu screens. The contrast control function is not available.
The edit screens allow the user to analyze data, interact with the gauge, and take

change to the password screen so the user may log in with a password. Only users with
engineering access may submit changes to the information stored in the gauge’s
database.
In writing mode, the function keys perform different operations.
– F1 will exit write mode without saving any changes.
– F2 will submit and save the new data.
– F3 will move the user through the different fields available for editing on the
screen.
An arrow in front of a displayed field indicates a dropdown menu associated with that
Editing Fields with field. Once the field is selected, the up and down arrow keys enable the user to explore

The Setup Wizard
Figure 3-6. Source Head, Isotope & Material Type Selection

8. Designate the source head type, radioactive isotope and process material type by
clicking the dropdown selections next to each respective option.
 Source Head Geometry – The source head geometry option allows the
program to include a very small correction factor in the single point
calibration calculation. The source head model number is stamped on the
identification plate on the source housing. If the model number of the source
head is unknown, or when using a head other than those on the dropdown
list, select the default, 5201.
 Isotope – The isotope option allows the program to select the appropriate half-
life for the radioactive material and to properly correct for the natural decay of
the source over time. The isotope is stamped on the identification plate on the
source housing. Almost all of the sources supplied by Thermo Fisher are
Cesium 137 (Cs-137) with a 30-year half life. When the isotope is not known,
it is usually wise to select Cs-137 as the option.
Note: Selecting the wrong isotope will not affect the initial calibration, but will
result in a small measurement error with time.
 Material Type – The material type option allows the software in the gauge to
apply the appropriate calibration equations for various types of process
materials. The available options are slurry, solution, single-phase or emulsion.
After selecting the material type, click the Next button to move to the next
screen. The options on this screen are dependent on the material type selected.

The Setup Wizard
 If slurry was selected, enter the carrier density (specific density of the
carrier liquid). The default value is 1.0. Enter the solids density (the dry
solid density of suspended solids) in g/cc. The default value is 2.65. Enter
the attenuation coefficients of the carrier and solid in cm2/g. The default
values for these options are .086 and .077, respectively.
 If solution was selected, enter the solvent density (the specific density of
the solvent liquid) in g/cc. The default value is 1.0. Enter the solute
density (the dry solid density of the suspended solute) in g/cc. The default
value is 2.65. Enter the attenuation coefficients of the solvent and solute
in cm2/g. The default values for these options are .086 and .077,
respectively.
 Select single phase when it is unnecessary or impossible to describe the
process material as slurry, emulsion, or solution. For example, foam
plastic, a mixture of plastic and gas, might be measured as a single-phase
material if the gas in the mixture only varies the material’s density and has
little effect on the measurement.
 For an emulsion, the Fluid 1 Density is the specific density of the carrier
liquid in g/cc. The default value is 1.0. The Fluid 2 Density is the specific
density of the suspended liquid in g/cc. The default value is 2.65 g/cc.
Enter the attenuation coefficients of the carrier liquid and the suspended
liquid in cm2/g. The default values for these options are .086 and .077,
respectively.
Note: If you want to measure the overall density of the process material only,
you can select single-phase, regardless of the material’s makeup.

and complete the device configuration.
20. The remaining gauge setup parameters can be configured from the Wizard Type
Selection screen by selecting Temperature Compensation, Standardization or
Gauge Calibration.
Note: The Standardization and Gauge Calibration options only configure
these parameters. Configuring the parameters does not initiate any action.
Material density varies with temperature. In many applications, this variation is

Temperature insignificant. However, for certain materials, temperature compensation is required to
Compensation provide accurate density measurements as the process temperature changes.
Temperature compensation is used to compensate for the effects of process material
temperature variations. Gauges configured with the temperature compensation option
will display the process density corrected back to the customer-supplied reference
temperature.

The Setup Wizard
The DensityPRO family of gauges will accept a process temperature input from a 3- or
4-wire RTD, as a 4–20 mA signal from an existing temperature transmitter, or as a
manual value entered into the transmitter by the operator.
1. Select Temperature Compensation and click the Next button to bring up the
following screen. If your application requires temperature compensation, ensure
that the parameters on this screen are entered correctly.
Figure 3-11. Temperature Setup

Note: To use temperature compensation, specify material densities that are
correct at a reference temperature outside the expected process temperature
range. The default reference temperature is 20°C (68°F).
 Temp. Input Source – In order for the temperature compensation function to
work, a temperature signal input is required. The DensityPRO devices will
accept input directly from an RTD or from a 4–20 mA temperature
transmitter. Alternately, a fixed temperature can be manually specified.
 Temperature Unit – Specify the temperature units as ºC or ºF.
 Temp Hold Constant (ºC) – If Manual Value was selected as the input source;
enter the constant temperature value in this textbox. The default value is 20º.

Standardization 1. Select Standardization and click the Next button to advance to the following
screen.
Figure 3-14. Standardization Condition, Sample Time & Density

This screen defines the standardization condition, the standardization time and the
density of the material in the pipe at standardization.
 Standardization On – The four options for the standardization condition are
None, Pipe Full, Pipe Empty or Bypassed.
 Select None to bypass the setting.
 Pipe Full is the most common selection and should be used anytime there
is carrier or process material in the pipe during a standardization.
 Pipe Empty may be used in certain selected conditions where the presence
of process material is being simulated by a calibration block or some other
means.
Caution: The Bypass option should only be used if recommended by a
Thermo Fisher technical support specialist. This option inserts a value of one
for the standardization count, which under some circumstances can have
detrimental effects.

The Setup Wizard
 STD Sample Time (sec) – The standardization sample time is the amount of
time, in seconds, that the detector will average the incoming signal. Choosing
an appropriate value for this parameter will depend on your process
conditions. In situations where the process density is quite steady, such as
when running water through a pipe, there should not be any significant swings
in the density value, and, therefore, the detector count should be stable. Under
these conditions, a relatively short standardization time, in the order of 60 to
300 seconds may be appropriate. When standardizing on a live process, it is
more likely that the density value will change over time. In these conditions it
is desirable to use a much longer sampling time, more in the order of 600 to
900 seconds.
 STD Density – Enter the standardized density of the material in g/cc.
2. Click the Next button to view the Remaining Time Screen.
Figure 3-15. Remaining Time

This screen provides the user with a countdown of the time remaining sample
time, as well as the date, time and standardization count when the last sample was

Type Selection Screen.

The Setup Wizard
1. Select Gauge Calibration and click the Next button to advance to the following
Gauge Calibration screen.
Figure 3-16. Gauge Calibration

This screen asks for two pieces of information – the type of calibration to be
performed and the calibration sample time, in seconds.
 CAL Method – The DensityPRO gauge can perform two types of calibration.
A polynomial calibration typically only requires basic gauge information and
one calibration point to calculate a calibration curve. This is the most
common type of calibration method used in Thermo Fisher density gauges,
and, unless otherwise advised, utilization of this calibration method is
recommended.
In some instances a polynomial method may not be the most ideal method of
calibration. For those instances, a breakpoint table is available to establish the
calibration curve.
 CAL Sample Time (sec) – Like the standardization time, the calibration time
is a period, measured in seconds, during which the instrument will average the
detector counts. Again, the sample time should be based on process
conditions. Typical calibration sample times run between 300 and 900
seconds.
2. Click the Next button to move to the Remaining Time Screen.

The Setup Wizard
3. Enter the calibrated density in the CAL Density textbox, and choose which
calibration point to use from the CAL Point dropdown. After point 1 is calibrated,

Operation
Communication Setup
RS485 To communicate with multiple gauges via RS485 party line, each unit must be
assigned a unique unit identification number so it can be addressed individually. By
default, all gauges are assigned unit number one (1).
Note: Connecting a PC serial port (COM) to the RS485 port on the gauge
requires an RS485/RS232 converter.
To assign a unique unit number to each gauge, you must be able to communicate with
each one individually. Disconnect each gauge from the party line in turn and
communicate with the disconnected gauge directly. Alternatively, remove power from
all gauges except one and assign a unit number to the powered gauge. Repeat this
procedure for the remaining gauges.
If trouble arises when using another device on the RS485 chain, verify that the device
is properly terminated for its position on the chain. To terminate a device, connect a
120-ohm resistor between its RS485 +/- data terminals. Never terminate more than the
first and last device in the chain.
Each DensityPRO unit includes a 10 Base-T minimum Ethernet port on the Main
Ethernet CPU PCA. Operators should ensure the area is non-hazardous before connecting or
disconnecting the Ethernet cable.
The Communication Setup screens also allow for configuration of the Ethernet port.

Alarm Setup There are six Mode/Fault Alarm tabs.
Note: The Mode/Fault Alarm Setup screens are organized slightly differently
within the gauge. System and application alarm information are often together
on the same display screen. Reviewing the complete Mode/Fault Alarm Setup
map will aid in navigation of the keypad display.
– The System tab, shown in Figure 4-6, allows the user to configure system-wide
alarms.
– The System Status tab, shown in Figure 4-7, displays the alarms from the System
screen and shows whether or not the alarms are currently in an active state.
– The Application tabs (#1 - #4), shown in Figure 4-8, allow the user to configure
application-specific alarms.
Alarms have three operational modes.
– Disable – The alarm is disabled, and no alarm action is executed.
– Enable – The alarm is enabled. The selected alarm action is executed based on the
alarm set condition.
– Inhibit – The alarm is temporary disabled. Another operation may change the
mode of this alarm from Inhibit to Enable.
After selecting an operational mode, the user may select an output source for the alarm
action. The actions available are:
– Do Nothing (Do not take any actions)
– Relay Output A
– Relay Output B
– Current Output A
– Current Output B
– Current Output C
Once an output source has been selected, an alarm action can be selected on either the
Current Output or Relay Outputs screens. For further information on these screens,

Figure 4-9. Commands Screen

Operation
Commands
– Do nothing – No action is executed. This is the default selection. When a

command is selected and submitted the action will be performed. After the action
is complete the value will return to Do Nothing.
– Erase all RAM and set defaults (Cold Start) – This is the same as a cold start. Data
in the active configuration will be reset to default values, the remote backplane and
all detectors will be reset.
– Warm Start – This is the equivalent of resetting the processor. The main board
and the Remote Backplane will be reset to a power-on state.
– Erase all CAL and STD data for all applications – All of the data associated with
the density calibration and standardization, will be reset to default values.
– Erase calibration data for all applications – All of the data associated with the
density calibration is reset to default values.
– Calculate Slope Correction Factor for all applications – Recalculates the slope
correction factor if the second calibration point is not zero.
– Perform Catch-up function for all applications – The filtered data counts are
initialized to the raw data counts. The response time of the filtered data counts to
a sudden change in raw data counts is determined by the time constant. When the
raw data count changes suddenly, the filtered data counts may take a long time to
reflect the average raw data count value. When the Perform Catch-up function is
used, the filtered data counts are initialized to the value of the raw data counts.
This function can currently be accomplished by changing the time constant back
to the previous value. Be aware that the dynamic tracking performs a similar
function. When the dynamic tracking threshold is exceeded, a faster time constant
is used until the filtered data counts catch-up to the raw data counts. The Perform
Catch-up function can be used even when dynamic tracking is enabled.
In addition to the common actions listed above, which allow the user to apply the
common action to the entire system, the Common Action dropdown also allows the
user to apply the same actions to individual applications.

Voltage) Inputs internal measurement process. Further, the analog input signal in the gauge is mapped
to an input type such as temperature, pressure, flow, or density, and appropriate unit
and measurement ranges are assigned.
The analog inputs offer a way for the user to provide additional process information to
the gauge. This information may be used by the gauge to provided additional types of
measurements.
For a density application, the analog inputs will be used to provide temperature and
flow information. The temperature information may be used for temperature-
compensated density calculation. The flow information may be used for mass and/or
volume flow calculation.
Two types of analog inputs are available on the gauge: current inputs, labeled 4–20 In
1 and 4–20 In 2 on the main board, and voltage inputs, labeled Vdc In 1 and Vdc In 2
on the main board.

state.

Operation
Relay Outputs
 Hold Relay ON – When the alarm assigned to the relay is active, the relay
will be energized. When the alarm assigned to the relay is inactive, the
relay will return to a de-energized state.
 Hold Relay OFF – When the alarm assigned to the relay is active, the
relay will be de-energized. When the alarm assigned to the relay is
inactive, the relay will return to an energized state.
 Clear Hold – The Hold/Live field will be set to Live mode when the
alarm assigned to the relay is active, and it will remain in Live mode once
the alarm becomes inactive.
b. If Totalizer is selected from the Process Function dropdown, the Total
Selection dropdown allows the user to select a totalizer.
i. If no totalizer is selected from the Total Selection dropdown, the relay
remains at its default state.
ii. When a totalizer is selected from the Total Selection dropdown, the
indicated totalizer associated with the detector designated in the Detector
ID field will drive the relay.
4. Enter a pulse width value in the Pulse Width (30-200 ms) field.
a. Entering 0 will generate no relay pulse output.
b. A value of 30 – 200 bases the relay pulse output on pulse width at 10 ms
intervals.
Note: If the process function is set to Totalizer, the relays will operate at a
maximum frequency with a period of twice the pulse width.
The gauge outputs totalizer pulses on a relay as long as there are pulses
available from the selected totalizer – even when the relay pulses accumulate at
a faster rate than they can be output.
5. Selecting No from the Invert Output dropdown maintains the output of the relay
in its normal state. Selecting Yes from the dropdown will invert the output of the
relay.
 Present Value – This field displays the current live status (On or Off) of the

the detector parameters based on application-specific requirements.
1. Enter the density time constant, in seconds, in the Density Time Constant (sec)
textbox.
2. Choose whether to enable or disable dynamic tracking from the Dynamic
Tracking Enable dropdown.
a. Enabling dynamic tracking ensures rapid, smooth filtered counts in response
to significant changes in the process level. The dynamic tracking system
contains a slow filter and a fast filter. Initially, filter data counts use the slow
filter. The fast filter uses a normal averaging time constant. The difference
between the data counts of the slow and fast filters are monitored constantly.
When the difference exceeds the dynamic tracking threshold percentage,
which has a default value of 5.3% of filtered counts, dynamic tracking is
activated. The output then switches to the faster filter, with the fast signal
using the value of slow signal as a starting point. After one fast filter time
constant, the difference of the slow and fast filters is calculated. If the
difference falls below the threshold value, dynamic tracking is de-activated and
the output switches back to the slow filter, with the slow signal using the value
of fast signal as a starting point.

5. Choose whether to enable or disable the X-ray hold function by using the X-ray
Threshold Enable dropdown.
a. The X-ray safeguard, calculated at a rate of 10 times per second, computes the
difference between the data counts filtered by the filter time constant and the
counts filtered by the time constant divided by 16. If the difference is greater
than the X-ray safeguard threshold value and X-ray Threshold Enable is
enabled, the X-ray safeguard is active and the high voltage will hold at the last
valid value. The X-ray Safeguard will be active for at least the amount of time
entered in the X-ray Threshold Min Hold Time (sec) textbox. At the end of
minimum hold time, if the count is below the threshold, the hold will be
cleared. If it is still above the threshold, the system will stay in the hold
condition for another cycle of the minimum hold time. The system will
continue to repeat cycles of the minimum hold time, if necessary, until the
time entered in the X-ray Threshold Max Hold Time (sec) is reached. When
the maximum hold time is reached, the X-ray safeguard will be disabled for
one minute to allow the system to recover. Once that minute is up, the X-ray
Safeguard will activate again and respond to future events.
b. When Disable is selected, no action will be taken.

Standardization is defined as a process that takes a radiation measurement for a

Standardization standard process configuration to establish a reference point for the gauge. This process
also ensures confidence in the accuracy of the calibration curve. The procedure requires
the measurement section to be either pipe empty or full. When full is selected, the pipe
should be filled with carrier or to be in some other repeatable condition.
The standardization measurement provides the gauge with a standard configuration
reference point. During the standardization cycle, the gauge averages the detector
signal. The default cycle time lasts about two minutes. This averaged detector signal
provides a repeatable measurement of the signal produced in the standard
configuration.
Once the standardization measurement is completed, it can be repeated later to
compensate for any changes, such as increased attenuation due to process material
buildup on the pipe walls. The gauge can then adjust the calibration values based on
the new standardization value. The calibration values are adjusted automatically
whenever a new standardization is performed. Thus, it is not necessary to repeat the
calibration measurements.
Using as a Default By default, the gauge uses carrier density as the calibration (CAL) point. For some
applications, this default CAL point may provide adequate measurement accuracy
Calibration Value without performing any additional calibration measurements. For example, if the
standardization is performed on a pipe full of clean carrier (for a slurry material type)
and solids concentration is selected as the primary measurement, the measurement
readout should be reasonably accurate.

standardization cycle. If the user rejects the standardization, the value of the
standardization counts and the standardization date and time stored in the
gauge are unchanged.
Note: The high voltage must be stable during the standardization cycle. If the
high voltage is unstable, the cycle will abort.
When a calibration is required, a one point calibration provides a reference

Gauge Calibration measurement at one density in the range of interest. This form of calibration is
sufficient in most instances. If greater measurement accuracy is required, two-point
calibration can be performed. The calibration density value is currently entered only in
g/cc. In future software releases the user will be able to select the calibration density
units.

2. Choose the point to be calibrated using the CAL Point field. Initially, the only
selection available is 1. Once Point 1 has been calibrated and accepted, Point 2 will
become available for selection from the dropdown. The CAL Point field will allow
the user to calibrate up to 10 points.
Note: When a standardization cycle is run and accepted on a full pipe, the
system uses this data as Point 1 for calibration purposes. The user will then
have the option of recalibrating Point 1 or calibrating Point 2.
3. Calibration counts are averaged over a user-defined period of time. Enter a time
period, in seconds, in the CAL Sample Time (sec) textbox. The time can range
from 1 second to 65,535 seconds.
4. Enter a calibration density value. The units displayed are those associated with the
primary density measurement.
5. The following commands are available for the gauge calibration process:
 Start CAL – Begin the calibration cycle.
 Abort CAL – Abort or reject the calibration cycle before cycle completion.
When the user terminates the calibration cycle, the value of the calibration
counts and the density stored in the gauge remain unchanged.
 Accept CAL – Accept the calibration value before or after the cycle completes.
When the user accepts the calibration value before the cycle completes, the
values of the calibration counts and the density at the time of acceptance are
stored in the gauge.
 Reject CAL – Reject the calibration value after completion of the calibration
cycle. If the user rejects the calibration, the value of the calibration counts and
the density stored in the gauge are unchanged.

The purpose of the totalizers is to calculate the amount of mass or volume flow
Totals measured by a gauge over a period of time. There are four totalizers available for each
detector, and each totalizer can be configured to totalize mass or volume flow.
To access the information on Application Totals tabs using only the remote

Operation
Application Screens
Figure 4-33. Application Screen, Totals Tab

Measurements #2 – #4 on the Additional Measurements Setup tab are available for
flow input selection. In order to totalize, the selected measurement must be configured
for a mass or volume flow, and the flow must be above the flow threshold limit set by
the user. Furthermore, the totalizer value may be scaled based on the units/pulse
configured by the user. The figures in this section illustrate the totalizer configuration
process.
Flow measurements can be configured and then associated with a totalizer. First, on
the Input Configuration Setup tab, configure the flow input along with its flow
volume unit and time. Second, associate the measurements to mass or volume flow on
the Additional Measurements Setup tab.
Note: The input must be configured to represents flow.

Operation
Application Screens
The following outline provides basic steps for configuration the totalizer. Each totalizer
can be setup to totalize on the same or different measurements.
Figure 4-35. Totalizer Setup

A totalizer can be attached to a relay to output pulses. (See the Relay Outputs section
for further details).
Totalizers #1 – #4 1. Choose an action state for Totalizer #1 from the Selection dropdown.
 Disable – If the totalizer is disabled, the totalizer value stops accumulating,
even when the value of the input is greater than or equal to the threshold
limit. If the totalizer has not been previously enabled, the Totalizer Value field
will be set to zero.
 Enable – This allows the totalizer to start accumulating when the value of the
input is greater than or equal to the threshold limit. If the totalizer has been
enabled previously, the Totalizer Value resumes accumulating at the previous
value.
 Clear – The Totalizer Value and any pending relay counts are set to zero. The
totalizer returns to its previous state of disabled, enable or inhibit.
 Inhibit – The Inhibit state is for use with the Enable All action. When the
Enable All action is requested, all Totalizers in the Inhibit state will be
changed to the Enable state. All Totalizers that are in the Disable state will
stay disabled.

Operation
Application Screens
2. Make a selection from the Input dropdown to designate which input to totalize.
 None – No input is selected to totalize. The Totalizer Value will not increase.
 Measurement #1: The value of Measurement #1 is totalized. This will be
either the Live or Hold value, depending on what the Hold/Live field is set to
for Measurement #1 on the Application Action tab.
3. Select a measurement unit from the Totalizer Value dropdown. The available units
are:
 US gallon
 Imperial gallon
 Cubic centimeter
 Cubic meter
 Cubic inch
 Cubic feet
 Cubic yard
 Ounces
 Pounds
 Short tons
 Long tons
 Kilograms
 Metric tons
 Grams
4. The totalizers give the user the option to link measurement data to a totalizer by
selecting Measurement # from the Input dropdown. The measurement value of
the specified Measurement # will then be input into the totalizer. The value of the
input must be greater than or equal to the value entered in the Threshold Limit
field before the totalizer value will accumulate. When this condition is met, the
total of the input value is accumulated.

Operation
Application Screens
5. Enter a value that represents the magnitude of each pulse output in the
Units/Pulse textbox.
6. The following fields are for display purposes on this screen, though their data may
be used in other processes. These fields are not configurable by the user.
 Threshold Unit – The unit of measure associated with the Input. The
Threshold Limit should use the same units.
 Totalizer Value – Displays the current value accumulated by the totalizer since
it was last cleared. When a totalizer is active, the value updates every second.
Any flow that occurred while the totalizer was disabled or inhibited is not
included in the value, nor is any flow that occurred when the input value was
below the Threshold Limit.
Note: The Totalizer Value will roll over at 1,000,000.
All Totalizer Choosing an action state from the Selection dropdown under All Totalizer at the
bottom of the Totals tab will apply the selected state to any of the configured totalizers.
– Disable – The Disable state in the All Totalizer Selection dropdown sets all four
totalizers to a disabled state. In a disabled state, the totalizer values stop
accumulating, even when the values of the inputs are greater than or equal to the
threshold limits. If a totalizer has not been previously enabled, the Totalizer Value
field in that totalizer’s area will be set to zero.
– Enable – When the Enable state is chosen from the All Totalizer Selection
dropdown, all Totalizers in the Inhibit state will be changed to the Enable state.
This allows the totalizers to begin accumulating when the values of the inputs are
greater than or equal to the threshold limits. If a totalizer has been enabled
previously, the Totalizer Value resumes accumulating at the previous value.
– Clear – For all of the totalizers, the Totalizer Value and any associated relay counts
are set to zero when the Clear state is selected. The totalizers then return to their
previous state of disabled, enable or inhibit.
– Inhibit – When Inhibit is selected from the All Totalizer Selection dropdown, all
enabled totalizers will change to an inhibit state. All totalizers that are in the
Disable state will stay disabled.

The process alarms provide a signal to the external device when the process value goes
Process Alarm above or below a set point value. The gauge provides sixteen process alarms. The
system can be configured to setup a process alarm based on one of the four
measurements. An alarm is activated when the measurement value reaches the specified
set point. The relative values assigned to the set point and clear point determines
whether the alarm is a high alarm or low alarm. The alarm condition must exist for at
least the duration of action delay time for the alarm to trigger and take the selected
action.
To access the information on Application Process Alarm tabs using only the remote

Operation
Application Screens
Figure 4-38. Process Alarm Tabs
High and Low Alarms If the set point value is greater than the clear point, the alarm is a High alarm. In this
case, the alarm is activated as the measurement value increases above the set point
value. The alarm stays active until the measurement value again goes below the clear
point. If the clear point value is greater than the set point, then the alarm is a Low
alarm. In this case, the alarm is activated as the measurement value goes below the set
point. The alarm stays active until the measurement value again goes above the clear
point.
In the high alarm depiction below, the measurement rises above the set point and
remains there longer than 10 seconds, the time entered in the Action Delay (sec)
textbox. Therefore, after 10 seconds, the alarm is triggered and continues until the
measurement drops below the clear point. In the second instance, the measurement
does not rise above the set point for 10 seconds, so the alarm is not triggered.
In the low alarm depiction, the measurement drops below the set point and remains
there longer than 10 seconds, the time entered in the Action Delay (sec) textbox.
Therefore, after 10 seconds, the alarm is triggered and continues until the
measurement rises above the clear point. In the second instance, the measurement does
not drop below the set point for 10 seconds, so no alarm occurs.

Flashing the Application Firmware
The first time you apply power to the gauge, the screen shown in Figure B-1 should
Flash display. If this screen does not appear, the gauge has been at least partially set up. If
Application you are unsure about what settings have been entered, or if the gauge has been moved
to a new location, it is recommended that the gauge be reset to the factory defaults and
Firmware set up again. To reset all entries in EZ Cal II, including the communication settings, to
the factory defaults, go to Commands  Common Action  Erase all Ram and set
defaults (Cold Start).
If access to this screen is desired at a later time, it may be accessed by selecting PC
Comm Setup from the Functions dropdown menu at the top of the screen, or by
clicking the first icon button, which is circled in Figure B-1.

Appendix C
Density Calculation
The basic density calculation converts the measured intensity of the radiation to a
Basic Density density value. This calculation is the basis for all of the various density calculations
Calculation used in the gauge. The terms used to calculate density consist of constants, user entered
values, measured values, and calculated values.
– Constants – These terms are fixed values that the user may be able to read.
 G: Geometry factor (0.85) – The geometry factor does not have any units. It is
used to correct for the location of the source relative to the detector with
different source heads and mounting configurations. History has determined
that this value can be a constant.
– User Inputs – These are values entered by the user. The user shall be able to read
and write the value for the items in this section.
 L: Pipe ID – The inside diameter of pipe in centimeters (cm). The default
value is 0 cm.
 Dc: Density of the carrier – The density of the carrier fluid in grams per cubic
centimeter (g/cm3). The default value is 1 g/cm3.
 µc: Attenuation Coefficient of the carrier – The attenuation coefficient of the
carrier fluid in square centimeters per gram (cm2/g). The default value is
0.086 cm2/g.
 Ds: Density of the solid – The density of the solid material in grams per cubic
centimeter (g/cm3). The default value is 2.65 g/cm3.
 µs: Attenuation Coefficient of the solid – The attenuation coefficient of the
solid material in square centimeters per gram (cm2/g). The default value is
0.077 cm2/g.
 Ibkg: Background radiation – The radiation measured at the detector with the
shutter on the source closed in counts per second (cps). The default value is 3
cps.

The standardization term is the average radiation intensity in counts per second over a
Standardization period of time. This value should be measured with a repeatable point in the process.
Term An example of a repeatable point in the process is an empty pipe or a pipe full of a
material with a known density. The standardization term can be used to correct for
buildup in the pipe or pipe wear.
To include the standardization term in the basic density calculation, the radiation
intensity (I), background intensity (Ibkg), and calibration intensity (Ical) are divided
by the standardization intensity (Istd).

Compensation process at the reference temperature. Internally, the gauge will store the density at the
process temperature. This will be at a location other than the modbus register.
The gauge will use the temperature compensation input source selected by the user to
determine the process temperature during standardization. At the end of the
standardization, the temperature from the temperature compensation input source
chosen by the user will be saved. Before the temperature is saved, it is corrected with
the Temperature Offset Correction.
