1.0 GENERAL 3.2 Connection using Configuration Module 4.0 PROGRAMMING RCPW (Remote Configuration Package for Windows) runs on a PC and communicates via an interface adaptor to enable re-programming and interrogation of the transmitter. When configuration is made using an existing loop, the loop power supply must be capable of supplying 30mA and the load resistor chosen so that at least 10v remains across the transmitter, taking into account all other volt drops within the loop. 4.1 Menu Structures 2.0 UNPACKING Please check carefully for any signs of shipping damage. The packaging has been designed to afford maximum protection, however, we cannot guarantee that mishandling will not cause damage. In the case of this unlikely event, please contact your supplier immediately for a Returns number and we will send a form to be completed and returned with the instrument. Please retain the packaging for subsequent inspection. There are two possible methods of connecting the PC to the transmitter as below. (A) Configurator Powered Programming RCPW contains the following menus: File, View, Options, Devices and Help. These options can be selected with the mouse or by simultaneously depressing <ALT> and the letter underlined as above. Once a menu option has been selected, the status bar shows a brief description of the functions which are as follows: 1 2 3 4 • Check that the power supply is the correct voltage for your country.

Note that the software will recalculate the given data to a new input range that matches the standard output range 4-20 mA. Templates can be loaded/saved and uploaded/downloaded using the function list or icons from the previous page. 4.2 Programming instructions Sensor Offset: e.g. 0.1 means that a 0.1ºC is all the time added to each measured value. The values shown in the Monitor function are not affected by the given Sensor Offset value. RCPW CONFIGURATION MODULE For configuration of Programmable Transmitters To Save a configuration means to store it as a file. When a file is opened remember that the file format may be different for different type of transmitters. Please take the following into account: A) Decimal numbers: the . (decimal point) is to be used. B) The parameters uploaded to the transmitter will over-write the previous settings. C) The Help menu gives further information about the program functions. D) When using configuration module connected to the normal measuring loop (as 3.2b) caution has to be taken for the following: The loop supply unit must be able to deliver 32 mA continuously. The load resistance at loop current 32 mA must not cause the voltage drop across the transmitter to become less than 10 V. The load resistance has to be at least 250 ohms. • • • The 32 mA in the mA-loop will be drawn directly when the configurator is connected. Make sure that alarms and trip are deactivated. To get started: a) b) c) Connect the unit as shown in Fig. 3.2 and 3.2. Read the actual configuration (setup status) of your connected transmitter by clicking in the read button. After a successful reading the template box will appear as shown above. You may now amend fields as necessary. Every effort has been taken to ensure the accuracy of this specification, however we do not accept responsibility for damage, injury, loss or expense resulting from errors and omissions, and we reserve the right of amendment without notice.
