Configuration Using a PC20

To configure the transmitter using a PC20 Configurator, follow the procedure in MI 020-495.

Configuration Using a PC50

To configure the transmitter using a PC50 Configurator, follow the procedure in MI 020-501
and MI 020-520.

Configuration Using a HART Communicator

To configure the transmitter using a HART Communicator, follow the procedure in MI 020-366.

Configuration Using the Optional Local Display

You can access the Configuration mode by the same multi-level menu system that was used to
enter Calibration mode. Entry to the Mode Select menu is made (from normal operating mode)
by pressing the Next button. The display reads CALIB, the first item on the menu. Press the Next
button again to get to the second item on the menu, CONFIG. Acknowledge your choice of this
selection by pressing the Enter button. The display shows the first item in the Configuration
menu. You can then configure items shown in the following table. The standard factory default
configuration is also given in this table.
The standard factory default configuration is not used if custom configuration option -C2 has
been specified. Option -C2 is a full factory configuration of all parameters to the users
specifications.
NOTE

1. You can configure most parameters using the local display. However, for more
complete configuration capability, use a HART Communicator or PC-Based
configurator.
2. During configuration, a single change can affect several parameters. For this
reason, if an entry is entered in error, re-examine the entire database or use the
Cancel feature to restore the transmitter to its starting configuration and begin
again.

Commentary on Configuration Structure Diagram

In general, use the Next button to select your item and the Enter button to specify your
selection.
POLLADR:
To configure the transmitter poll address, press Enter. Use the Next button to select an
address of 0 through 15, then press Enter. An address of 1 through 15 is used for multidrop
mode with a fixed mA output.
EX ZERO:
The External Zero feature allows the optional external zero pushbutton to be disabled for
additional security. To configure this feature, go to EX ZERO with the Next button and press
Enter. Use the Next button to select EXZ DIS or EXZ ENA and press Enter.
S2 FAIL:
The temperature sensor compensates for changes in temperature in the transmitter
electronics. Failure of this sensor can cause a 4 to 20 mA accuracy change of up to 0.25%. The
S2 FAIL feature allows you to specify action (or no action) if such a failure occurs. To
configure this feature, go to S2 FAIL with the Next button and press Enter. Use the Next
button to select S2 FATAL (to have the output go to that configured in OUTFAIL) or S2
NOFTL (to continue operation with a temperature sensor failure) and press Enter. This
parameter has no effect if POLLADR is configured to any number from 1 through 15.
OUT DIR:
To configure the Output Direction, go to OUT DIR with the Next button and press Enter.
Use the Next button to select OUT FWD (4 - 20 mA) or OUT REV (20 - 4 mA) and press
Enter. This parameter has no effect if POLLADR is configured to any number from 1 through
15.
OUTFAIL:
The Outfail feature provides high or low output with certain malfunctions. To configure the
fail mode output, go to OUTFAIL with the Next button and press Enter. Use the Next
button to select FAIL LO or FAIL HI and press Enter. This parameter has no effect if
POLLADR is configured to any number from 1 through 15.
OFFL MA:
The Off-line mA feature enables you to set the output to a specified value or to the last value
if the transmitter goes off-line. To configure the off-line output, go to OFFL MA with the Next
button and press Enter. Use the Next button to select LAST MA or USER MA and press
Enter. If you selected USER MA, press Enter again at the display of digits. Then use the Next
button to step through the library of digits to select the desired first digit, then press Enter.
Your selection is entered and the second character flashes. Repeat this procedure until you
have entered the last digit. Then use the Next button to move the decimal point to its desired
location and press Enter. The display advances to the next menu item.
DAMPING:
To configure additional damping, go to DAMPING with the Next button and press Enter. Use
the NEXT button to select NO DAMP, DAMP 1/4, DAMP 1/2, DAMP 1, DAMP 2, DAMP 4, DAMP
8, DAMP 16, or DAMP 32 and press Enter.

5. Configuration

M1 MODE:
To configure the mode of the primary output, go to M1 MODE with the Next button and press
Enter. Use the Next button to select M1 LIN and press Enter. M1SQ<1C (square root with
cutoff below 1% of calibrated pressure range), M1SQ<4L (square root with linear below 4% of
calibrated pressure range), or M1SQ<4L (square root with linear below 4% of calibrated
pressure range), or M1SQ<nC (square root with user configured cutoff specified between 0 and
20% of the flow range) is not applicable to absolute or gauge pressure measurement.
M1 DISP:
To configure the optional local indicator to show engineering units or percent, go to M1 DISP
with the Next button and press Enter. Use the Next button to select M1 EGU or LIN PCT
and press Enter. LIN PCT only provides percent readings on the local display. The M1
engineering unit is used for remote communication of Measurement #1, even if LIN PCT is
selected.
M1 EGU:
To configure pressure engineering units for your display and transmission, go to M1 EGU with
the Next button and press Enter. Because M1 MODE is configured as M1 LIN, you are asked to
specify one of the following pressure labels: psi, inHg, ftH2O, inH2O, atm, bar, mbar, MPa,
Pa, kPa, kg/cm2, g/cm2, mmHg, torr, or mmH2O. Your transmitter then automatically adjusts
M1EFAC (engineering factor), M1 URV (upper range value), and M1 LRV (lower range value).
M1EOFF is defaulted to zero.
M1EOFF:
You can introduce an offset by entering a nonzero value for M1EOFF. The offset affects the
value of PV that is transmitted in engineering units, transmitted as an analog mA signal, and
displayed in the (optional) local display. This feature can be used in such applications as an
elevated water storage tank where the transmitter is at grade level but the output is to
correspond to the level of the tank. It can also be used for a grade level water storage tank
where the transmitter is installed above the bottom of the tank and the output is to
correspond to the level in the tank.
M1 URV:
To edit the upper range value, press Enter at the prompt M1 URV. Use the procedure
Entering Numerical Values on page 30 to edit this parameter.
M1 LRV:
Similar to M1URV immediately above.
M2 MODE:
M2 is a secondary measurement that is read by the Model 275 HART Communicator and
can be displayed on the optional display. You might use this feature to display M1 in your
primary pressure units and M2 in a different set of pressure units. To configure this parameter,
go to M2 MODE with the Next button and press Enter. Use the next button to select M2 LIN
and press Enter.
M2 EGU:
Similar to M1 EGU.

DISPLAY:
To display M1, M2, or to toggle between M1 and M2, go to DISPLAY with the Next button
and press Enter. Use the Next button to select SHOW M1, SHOW M2, or TOGGLE and press
Enter.
CALDATE:
This is not a required entry but can be used for record-keeping or plant maintenance
purposes. To edit the calibration date, go to CALDATE with the Next button and press Enter.
You then can change the day, month, and year. The display shows the last date with the day
flashing. Use the Next button to step through the library of digits to select the desired day,
then press Enter. Repeat this process for the month and year.
ENA PWD:
To enable or disable the password feature, go to ENA PWD with the Next button and press
Enter. Use the Next button to select NO PWDS (password not required for either calibration
or configuration), CFGONLY (password required to configure but not to calibrate), or CFG+CAL
(passwords required to both configure and calibrate) and press Enter.
If you selected CFG ONLY, the display changes to CFG PWD. Press either the Next or Enter
button. Use the Next button to step through the library of characters to select the desired first
character, then press Enter. Your selection is entered and the second character flashes. Repeat
this procedure until you have created your password. If the password has less than six
characters, use blanks for the remaining spaces. When you have configured the sixth space,
the display advances to the next menu item.
If you selected CFG+CAL, the display changes to CAL PWD. To create the Calibration password,
press either the Next or Enter button. Use the Next button to step through the library of
characters to select the desired first character, then press Enter. Your selection is entered and
the second character flashes. Repeat this procedure until you have created your password. If
the password has less than six characters, use blanks for the remaining spaces. When you have
configured the sixth space, the display advances to CFG PWD. Use the same procedure to create
the configuration password.
NOTE

In normal operation, the CAL PWD allows access to only calibration mode. The
CFG PWD allows access to both configuration and calibration.
! CAUTION
Record your new password before saving changes to the database.
SET GDB:
If your transmitter database becomes corrupted and you receive an INITERR message upon
startup, this function enables you to rewrite all calibration and configuration values with
default values.
! CAUTION
Any calibration and configuration values that you have entered will be lost. Therefore,
SET GDB should not be selected if your transmitter is functioning normally.
