INTRODUCTION

1.1 Product presentation


Corus PTZ is a type 1 gas volume converter that can be configured as a T, PT or PTZ version. It is designed to calculate gas volumes under base conditions, based on a volume at metering conditions, a temperature, a pressure, a compressibility. Its volume input is a low frequency one that can be connected to any Ex compliant gas meter that provides such information. Corus PTZ belongs to a new generation of volume converters that are designed to achieve a high level of performance thanks to a powerful electronic equipment. Based on the use of flash memory, its architecture allows the download of a new firmware release through a laptop without board modification. Corus PTZ is approved according the new European standard (EN 12405) and it can be used for commercial and fiscal gas transactions. According to the European regulation, it bears the CE marking and complies with the following directives: 1989/336/EEC 1994/9/EC (electromagnetic directive) (potentially explosive atmospheres directive)

Corus PTZ provides the following functions : acquisition and integration of the volume measured by the meter measurement of gas temperature and gas pressure calculation of the compressibility factor (PTZ version) calculation of the conversion factor and of the volume in base conditions using a T,PT or PTZ conversion calculation of the measured and converted flow rates display of the measured and calculated data management of alarms and sending to remote central systems management of a large database multiple communication channels for local and remote operations on/off inputs and outputs

1.2 Operating principle


The gas meter measures a volume of gas at metering conditions (Vm), under specific pressure (Pm) and temperature (Tm) conditions. This volume is converted into a volume at base conditions by Corus PTZ according to EN 12405:
Vb = P Tb Zb Vm = C Vm Pb T Z

where : V Vb T Tb Pm Pb

METROLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS AND INPUTS/OUTPUTS

3.1 Temperature measurement


Corus PTZ is provided with a four wires Pt1000 temperature sensor that is in accordance with IEC/EN 60751 (1000 resistance at 0C). Its four wires mounting provides a high accuracy by eliminating the resistance of the cable. The temperature sensor has an IP67 protection degree according to EN 60529 and is delivered with a cable length of either 2.50m or 0.80m. Its operating range (gas temperature range) is [-40C ; +70C]. The temperature measurement period is programmable from 1 to 20 seconds. This data is protected by the metrological switch. When the display is On , this period is forced to 1 second. Whenever the temperature leaves the operating range defined by two minimal and maximal temperature thresholds or whenever a temperature sensor failure is detected, a temperature metrological alarm is generated (see 6.2.2)

3.2 Pressure measurement


3.2.1 T version When used as a T converter, Corus PTZ uses a fixed pressure that is calculated according to the following formula:
pressure = 1.01325 bar + gas.rel.press. 1.202 10 4 bar/m altitude

where: pressure gas.rel.pres altitude

= = =

fixed pressure used for the T conversion gas fixed relative pressure to be programmed into the device altitude of the installation to be programmed into the device

3.2.2 PT and PTZ versions When used as a PT or PTZ converter, Corus PTZ is provided with an external absolute piezoresistive pressure sensor providing a rangeability higher than 11. Two (2) operating pressure range are available : 0,9 bara to 10 bara 7,2 bara to 80 bara

The sensor is made into a stainless steel enclosure and has an IP66 protection degree according to EN 60529. It can withstand an overpressure of 1.25 times its maximal pressure (i.e. 12.5 bara) for 30 minutes. It is equipped with a G1/4 (BSP) male terminal that allows its direct connection to the gas meter or to the gas pipe. It is delivered with a cable length of either 2.50m or 0.80m. All pressure sensors are delivered with their own characterization coefficients (12) that must be programmed into the converter so that the accuracy required by EN 12405 can be reached over the whole pressure and temperature range. The temperature measurement period is programmable from 1 to 30 seconds. This data is protected by the metrological switch. When the display is On , this period is forced to 1 second.

Whenever the pressure leaves the operating range defined by two minimal and maximal pressure thresholds or whenever a pressure sensor failure is detected, a pressure metrological alarm is generated (see 6.2.1)

3.3 Compressibility ratio calculation


Corus PTZ can be programmed to display either Zb/Z or Z/Zb (this choice is a metrological parameter). 3.3.1 T and PT versions When configured as a T or PT converter, Corus PTZ uses a constant value as compressibility factor. This value (Zb/Z or Z/Zb fixed ratio) can be set by programming. 3.3.2 PTZ version Corus PTZ calculates the compressibility factor: At a programmable period from 1s to 30s if the display is off (same period than P and T acquisition) every second if the display is on When configured as a PTZ converter, Corus PTZ computes the compressibility ratio of the gas using of the following formula : S-GERG88 AGANX19 standard AGANX19 modified AGA8 16 Coefficients (Table of Z) According to the selected formula, the following data are then necessary and must be programmed into the device :

AGA8
0% 0% 0.55 < %CO2 < %N2 < SG < 30% < 50% < 0.9

3.4 Conversion factor calculation


Corus PTZ calculates the conversion factor: At a programmable period from 1s to 30s if the display is off (same period than P and T acquisition) every second if the display is on The calculation is done according to the formula defined in EN 12405: P Tb Zb C= Pb T Z The reference pressure Pb and the reference temperature Tb must be programmed into the device.

3.5 Volumes metering


Corus PTZ manages two volume indexes and two under alarm volume counters: an unconverted index a converted index an under alarm unconverted counter a total converted counter The two indexes are available in the 'INDEX' menu of the display, whereas the under alarm unconverted counter and the total converted counter can be found in the 'ALARM' (see 6.2).

3.5.1 Main LF input and unconverted volumes Corus PTZ features a low frequency (LF) input that can work up to 2 hertz and that is used to meter the unconverted volumes. The pulses sent by the meter on this input (called main LF input or LF1) are balanced by the input pulse weight and are added to the unconverted index. The input pulse weight can be chosen among the following values: 0.001 m3/pulse 0.01 m3/pulse 0.1 m3/pulse 1 m3/pulse 10 m3/pulse 100 m3/pulse 1000 m3/pulse The LF input can be associated to any gas meter that outputs LF signal or to any device that provides an electrically compliant interface: dry contact static relay open collector or open drain output

For its connection to the meter, it shares the same terminals (J3 and J4) and the same cable as the coherence LF input (see 4.1) and as the tamper input (see 4.2). Corus PTZ can be delivered with several different LF cables, in order to comply with all existing types of meter connections. All cables are available with length of 0.80m or 2.50m.

3.5.2 Converted volumes After every conversion, Corus PTZ updates its converted volumes: the converted index and the total converted counter are increased by the unconverted volume metered since the last conversion balanced by the conversion factor 3.5.3 Under alarm operation As long as a metrological alarm occurs, volumes are managed as specified in EN 12405: the unconverted main index continues to be incremented the under alarm unconverted counter is incremented metering on the converted main index is stopped the total converted counter is incremented during the alarm using a conversion factor based on pressure and temperature back-up values, if this function is activated with programmed values Twelve monthly temperature and one pressure back-up values are available. They can be either: programmed into Corus PTZ automatically calculated by Corus PTZ from the measures done in the past (using the database)

NON-METROLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS AND INPUTS/OUTPUTS

4.1 Tamper input


Corus PTZ manages a on/off tamper input that allows to detect any magnetic violation attempt on meters that are equipped with an anti-tampering reed contact. This input shares the same terminals (J3 and J4) and the same cable as the main LF input. The tamper input can be put into one of the following modes: disabled normally open (NO) normally closed (NC) When the input is enabled and not in its normal state, the device generates a tamper alarm that is not metrological and that does therefore not impact the management of the unconverted and converted indexes.

4.2 Coherence LF input


Corus PTZ features a second LF input called coherence LF input or LF2. This input shares the same terminals (J3 and J4) and the same cable as the main LF input. It allows to check the good operating of the metering function and of the pulse emitter of the meter. If this function is activated, Corus PTZ constantly compares the number of pulses metered on both LF inputs and generates a coherence alarm as soon as the spread between both inputs exceeds a programmable threshold within a programmable period of time (see 6.2.3) The coherence LF input and the coherence alarm are not metrological : they have no effect on the unconverted and converted indexes.

4.3 On/off inputs


Corus PTZ features two on/off inputs that can be connected to different types of intrinsically safe interfaces: reed contact static relay open collector or open drain output The field of use of these inputs includes the connection to a safety valve to a delta pressure filter status or to a station door opening contact. The tamper input can be set into one of the following modes: disabled normally open (NO) normally closed (NC) When any on/off input is enabled and not in its normal state, the device generates a non-metrological alarm (see 6.2.4).

4.4 On/off outputs


Corus PTZ features two on/off outputs that can be each configured : as an unconverted volume pulse output as a converted volume pulse output as an alarm output (standard mode) as an alarm output (limited mode) as a 4/20 mA output 4.4.1 Volume pulse output mode When configured as unconverted or converted volume pulse outputs, on/off outputs behave like the LF outputs of a meter: they are individually characterized by a pulse weight that can be configured to any value greater or equal to the input pulse weight (see 3.5.1) among 0.001 m3/pulse, 0.01 m3/pulse, 0.1 m3/pulse, 1 m3/pulse, 10 m3/pulse, 100 m3/pulse, 1000 m3/pulse they generate a pulse every time the corresponding (unconverted or converted) index gets increased by a value equal to the selected output pulse weight. The time closed of the volume pulse outputs can be programmed (its default is value of 250ms). Base volume outputs are automatically disabled as long as any metrological alarm is active. 4.4.2 Alarm output mode Each alarm can be individually configured to activate the alarm outputs when triggered. The activation duration of the alarm outputs can be selected. The alarm outputs can remain active: either as long as any alarm is active (standard mode) or as long as any alarm is active with a duration limit of 30 minutes (limited mode)

4.5 Instantaneous flows


Corus PTZ calculates every second the gas instantaneous unconverted and converted flows: the unconverted flow is derived from the incoming main LF signal the converted flow is calculated from the unconverted flow balanced by the conversion factor Theses flows are indicative, not metrological. If the functions is activated, every time they are updated, the instantaneous flows are compared respectively to: a minimal and maximal unconverted flow threshold a minimal and maximal converted flow threshold When a flow rate leaves the range defined by the corresponding threshold, a flow alarm gets active (see 6.2.7).

COMMUNICATION
Corus PTZ provides two (2) communication ports that can be used simultaneously: an optical port a RS232 port

5.1 Optical port


Corus PTZ V2 provides an asynchronous serial optical port that is compliant with the optical head used with existing Actaris gas products. This port can be used for serial asynchronous (start-stop) half-duplex communications. It operates at 1200 baud, 2400 baud, 4800 baud, 9600 baud. A disc made into a magnetic material is fixed under the cover and allows the mechanical fixing of the optical head. The presence of an optical head is magnetically detected. This allows the optical port to be by default in a power-down mode and to wake up automatically when necessary. In case of failure, the magnetic detection can be overridden by turning on the user interface.

5.2 RS232 port


Corus PTZ features an insulated RS232 port that can be used for : local communication with a laptop through an intrinsic safe isolation remote communication through an external modem (either through an IS associated modem or through an IS barrier connected to a classic modem) The RS232 port provides the following signals: transmitted data (TxD) received data (RxD) data terminal ready (DTR) As it is insulated, it needs to be externally supplied by a voltage between 6V and 12V. The terminal (J6) that correspond to the serial port is located in the customer area: J6.1 J6.2 J6.3 J6.4 J6.5 TxD RxD DTR Supply+ Supply-

The RS232 port can be used for serial asynchronous (start-stop) full-duplex communications. It operates at 300 baud, 1200 baud, 2400 baud, 4800 baud, 9600 baud, 19200 baud. The RS232 port is by default in a power-down mode. When the connected device initiates a communication, it has to take in account a wake up time of a few milliseconds.

The fixed part includes the following data: the date and time the interval unconverted consumption the interval converted consumption the interval under alarm unconverted consumption the interval total converted consumption a status of the converter ((presence of metrologic alarms, Date/Time change) In the configurable part, the user can select the following fields: the minimum, maximum and average gas temperature the minimum, maximum and average gas pressure the minimum, maximum and average unconverted flow rate the minimum, maximum and average converted flow rate The value of the interval is programmable among 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 minutes. The capacity of the interval log extends from 3100 (all optional fields selected) to 5900 (no optional field selected). 6.1.5 Event Log Corus PTZ logs the occurring of all main events (alarms, reset, switches change, programming,). For each event, following data are available : Date and time of the event Nature of the event Specific value (for some event only) Status The event log has a capacity of 800 events and cannot be reset. It is circular: when it is full, every new event replaces the oldest one.

6.2.1 Pressure alarms Pressure alarms occur: when the gas pressure is out of the operating range [Pmin ; Pmax] when the pressure sensor is out of order. Corus PTZ manages three pressure alarms: a pressure low threshold alarm a pressure high threshold alarm a pressure sensor failure alarm These alarms are automatically disabled when a T conversion is used. When a pressure alarm occurs: the alarm icon and the 'P' icon are displayed (blinking during alarm is active) the incrementing of the main converted index is stopped if the alarm is due to a pressure sensor failure : pressure, compressibility and conversion factor are set to "not-available" on the display the total converted counter is incremented based on the back-up pressure value (if existing) the on/off outputs activated as alarm outputs are switched 'on' , if the corresponding alarm was configured for alarm output the corresponding alarm is set into the 'ALARM' menu and is stamped into the event log 6.2.2 Temperature alarms Temperature alarms occur: when the gas temperature is out of the operating range [Tmin ; Tmax] when the temperature sensor is out of order. Corus PTZ manages three temperature alarms: a temperature low threshold alarm a temperature high threshold alarm a temperature sensor failure alarm When a temperature alarm occurs: the alarm icon and the 'T' icon are displayed (blinking during alarm is active) the incrementing of the main converted index is stopped if the alarm is due to a temperature sensor failure : temperature, compressibility and conversion factor are set to "not-available" on the display the total converted counter is incremented based on the back-up temperature value (if existing) the on/off outputs activated as alarm outputs are switched 'on' , if the corresponding alarm was configured for alarm output the corresponding alarm is set into the 'ALARM' menu and is stamped into the event log 6.2.3 LF coherence alarm This alarm can be enabled or disabled by programming. The user can program a number of pulses (Np) and a duration (Dp). If the difference between the number of pulses on input LF1 and input LF2 is higher or equal to Np during a period Dp expressed in days (see 4.2), Corus PTZ generates an alarm This alarm is not metrological, meaning that it does not impact the management of the unconverted and converted indexes. When the alarm occurs: the alarm icon displayed

When enabled, the tamper input and the on/off inputs can be set as normally open or normally close (see 4.1 and 4.3). Then, when Corus PTZ detects that an input is not in its normal state, the corresponding alarm is generated. When such an alarm occurs: the alarm icon displayed the on/off outputs activated as alarm outputs are switched 'on' , if the alarm was configured for alarm output the alarm is set into the 'ALARM' menu and is stamped into the event log 6.2.5 Conversion factor alarm If this function is activated, Corus PTZ generates this alarm when the computed conversion factor gets out of a programmed range (Cmin ; Cmax). This alarm is not metrological and is dedicated to the control of the whole metering chain. Corus PTZ manages two conversion factor alarms: conversion factor low threshold alarm conversion factor high threshold alarm When a conversion factor alarm occurs: the alarm icon displayed the on/off outputs activated as alarm outputs are switched 'on' , if the alarm was configured for alarm output the conversion factor alarm is set into the 'ALARM' menu and is stamped into the event log 6.2.6 Converted consumption alarm Corus PTZ sets this alarm when the converted consumption during a given interval is higher than a programmed threshold. The interval can be selected among: the current database interval the ongoing hour the ongoing day the ongoing month. When the alarm occurs: the alarm icon displayed the on/off outputs activated as alarm outputs are switched 'on' , if the alarm was configured for alarm output the alarm is set into the 'ALARM' menu and is stamped into the event log 6.2.7 Flow-rate alarms Corus PTZ manages four flow alarms: unconverted flow low threshold alarm unconverted flow high threshold alarm converted flow low threshold alarm converted flow high threshold alarm

Every time the unconverted and converted instantaneous flows are calculated, their values are compared to four thresholds, that are programmable by the user. If the function is activated, an alarm of the above list is set if the corresponding flow-rate gets higher or lower than the threshold. When such an alarm occurs: the alarm icon displayed the on/off outputs activated as alarm outputs are switched 'on' , if the alarm was configured for alarm output the alarm is set into the 'ALARM' menu and is stamped into the event log 6.2.8 Battery alarm Each 24 hours , the internal battery counter is decreased of one day. When the counter reaches 10% of the nominal battery life (about 6 month (182 days) for a 5 years battery life), the battery alarm is generated. When changing the battery, the battery counter has to be re-programmed so as to remove the battery alarm. When the battery alarm occurs: the alarm icon displayed the on/off outputs activated as alarm outputs are switched 'on' , if the alarm was configured for alarm output the alarm is set into the 'ALARM' menu and is stamped into the event log The battery alarm is not metrological, meaning that when the battery alarm occurs, Corus PTZ continues to works up to the moment when the battery is fully discharged.

6.2.9 External power supply alarm When Corus PTZ is supplied through external power, it is able to detect a main cut. Then, this alarm is set as long as the external supply is not present. During the main cut, the internal backup battery will ensure the total functioning of Corus PTZ and the battery counter will be decreased with the same management described in the "battery alarm" chapter. When such a alarm occurs: the alarm icon displayed the on/off outputs activated as alarm outputs are switched 'on' , if the alarm was configured for alarm output the alarm is set into the 'ALARM' menu and is stamped into the event log

INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE

8.1 Fixing
The enclosure of Corus PTZ intends four lateral holes (diameter 5.2mm) for a wall-mounting or for a mounting on a special plate. Following the installation procedure, Corus PTZ has to be carefully closed using the four screws placed on each corner. All cable glands have moreover to be tightened enough. These two actions are mandatory to achieve a correct water tightness of the enclosure.

8.3 Installation of the sensors


8.3.1 Temperature sensor The temperature sensor has to be placed into a protective thermowell at a point of the line where the measured temperature is representative of the gas temperature through the meter. The generally accepted installation conditions are : distance from the meter : less than 1 meter position : downstream for turbines immersion : 1/3 to 2/3 of the internal diameter of the pipe The presence of a second thermowell located close to the first one is recommended to check Corus PTZ temperature measurement, using a reference thermometer, without having to remove the probe. 8.3.2 Pressure sensor The pressure sensor connector has a G1/4 (BSP) male terminal. It must be preferentially screwed to the "Pr" reference pressure tap of the meter: either directly (through a mechanical adapter if necessary) or through a 3-way valve (which will avoid any modification of the installation during the periodical check of the sensor) If a failure of the pressure sensor makes it mandatory to change it, the pressure coefficients have to be reprogrammed with the ones delivered with the new sensor. If Corus PTZ is in operation during the change, a pressure alarm will be generated. The pressure sensor intends two (2) holes allowing to seal and link the sensor with the meter installation. 8.3.3 LF cable The LF cable provided with the CORUS has to be connected directly to the LF output plug of the gas meter. The various LF cable (Binder plug ) available are : Type 1 : Pins 1-4 : LF1 Pins 2-5 : LF2 Pins 3-6 : Strap Type 2 : Pins 4-6 : LF1 Pins 3-5 : LF2 Pins 1-2 : AT Type 3 : Pins 1-2 : LF1 Pins 5-6 : LF2 Pins 3-4 : AT Type 4 : Pins 1-4 : LF1 Pins 2-5 : LF2 Pins 3-6 : AT

Each LF cable binder plug intends two(2) holes allowing to seal and link the CORUS cable to the meter installation.

8.4 Power supply


Corus can be supplied either : by its internal battery by an external power supply

8.4.1 Internal battery Corus PTZ is delivered with a 19 A.h D-size lithium battery that provides an autonomy of 5 years in average conditions. This battery includes all protections required by intrinsic safety and cannot be changed for a different type. When the battery reaches the end of its life, it has to be replaced according to the following procedure that ensures a non-stop operation of the product: do not provoke short-circuits on the new battery : it would be definitively damaged check the voltage of the new battery : it should be above 3.6V open the cover of the box connect the new battery on the free battery connector (J7 or J8) disconnect the old battery and remove it from the battery support put the new battery into the battery support reprogram the battery life to its nominal value (1825 days) close the case and check Corus PTZ 8.4.2 External power supply Corus PTZ can also be supplied by an external intrinsic safety associated module from: a 220 VAC mains a 24 VDC mains The corresponding module has to be connected to the right hand side of the terminal J5 (J5.9 and J5.10). The converter must then be configured into the 'external power supply' mode. For safety reasons, it is strictly forbidden to use other modules than those specified by 'Actaris'.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

9.1 General
The CORUS gas volume converter is approved according to 94/9/CE directive (ATEX) relative to introduction of material in explosive atmosphere area. The respect of this directive is mandatory (from July,1st 2003 ) and is now included in the 'CE' marking. Then, 'CE' marking of the CORUS intends now conformity with following directive : 94/9/CE (ATEX) and 89/336/CE (EMC)

9.2 Marking relative to ATEX - Zone


The CORUS is approved as category 1 equipment and is then suitable for use in zone 0 (areas with permanent presence of gas). The corresponding marking is : 0081 LCIE 03 ATEX 6165X II1G EEx ia IIC T4

The ambient temperature range for operation is : -25C ; +55C

9.3 Specific Instructions


! ! ! ! ! To avoid erroneous operations, it is recommended to read the whole operating manual before putting the CORUS into operation. The CORUS is suitable for use for gas intended into the 'IIC' classification gas ( all natural gas , hydrogen, nitrogen, air,..) The connection of the CORUS to any other instrument or device must be done in accordance to the electrical parameter indicated in the certificate. It has to be noted that the directive 1999/92/CEE ( "Installation / Users" ) has also to be respected for the commissioning of the device. When CORUS is used in the external power supply mode, the supply has to be provided through an intrinsically safe module with electrical compatible parameters ; Use of any other type of module is strictly forbidden. In this mode, the main battery remains plugged inside the CORUS in case of external mains failure. When using the battery mode, It is allow to change the battery on site, placing the new battery on the free connector ( among J7 or J8 of the I/O board) and then, removing the old battery.

Caution : The battery of the CORUS includes all protections required by Intrinsic safety. Then, It is strictly forbidden to replace the battery unit by any battery other than the one specified by 'Actaris' ( reference : SL2780 de Sonnenschein or TD5930 de Tadiran ) ! To prevent any damage, following operations are recommended to limit electrostatic discharges on the enclosure of the CORUS : clean the front-panel only with a damp heat the person carrying out the installation can discharge himself/herself by touching the potential equalisation line
