Quick start with ProLink II
Topics covered in this chapter:

♦ Apply power

♦ Connect with ProLink II

♦ Configuration tips and tricks
♦ Configure the primary mA output to report mass flow rate in a user-selected
measurement unit
♦ Perform a loop test
♦ Trim mA outputs
♦ Zero the flowmeter
♦ Test or tune the system using sensor simulation
♦ Back up transmitter configuration
♦ Enable/disable HART security
3.1 Apply power
Prerequisites
Before you apply power to the flowmeter, close and tighten all housing covers.
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, make sure all covers are
tightly closed. For hazardous area installations, applying power to the unit while housing
covers are removed or loose can cause an explosion.
Procedure
Turn on the electrical power at the power supply.
The flowmeter will automatically perform diagnostic routines. For transmitters with a display, the status
LED will turn green and begin to flash when the startup diagnostics are complete. If the status LED
exhibits different behavior, an alarm condition is present.
Postrequisites
Allow the electronics to warm up for approximately 10 minutes before relying on process measurements.
Although the sensor is ready to receive process fluid shortly after power-up, the electronics can take up
to 10 minutes to warm up completely.
3.2 Connect with ProLink II
A connection from ProLink II to your transmitter allows you to read process data, configure the
transmitter, and perform maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.
