4 Setting up Communications with the SCT3000

If you have never used an SCT to "talk" to an SMV800 transmitter, this section tells you how to
connect the SMV with the SCT, establish on-line communications and make initial checks.
ATTENTION
The SCT 3000 contains on-line help and an on-line user manual providing complete instructions for
using the SCT to setup and configure SMV transmitters.

Establishing Communications

Off-line Versus On-line SMV Configuration

The SCT 3000 allows you to perform both off-line and on-line configuration of SMV transmitters.

Off-line configuration does not require connection to the transmitter. By operating the SCT
3000 in the off-line mode, you can configure and save database files of an unlimited number
of transmitters prior to receipt, and then download the database files, save them either to
portable media and then download the database files to the transmitters during
commissioning.

An on-line session requires that the SCT is connected to the transmitter and allows you to
download previously-configured database files at any time during installation or
commissioning of your field application. Note that you can also upload a transmitter's
existing configuration and then make changes directly to that database.

Off-line Configuration Procedures

Refer to the SCT User Manual (on-line) for detailed procedures on how to off-line configure SMV
transmitters using the SCT 3000.

SCT Hardware Connections

A PC or laptop computer (host computer) which contains the SCT application is connected to the
wiring terminals of the SMV transmitter and other smart field devices via the Honeywell DE Modem.
Figure 9 shows the hardware components of the SCT.
