Start-up Tasks

About start-up
Once you have installed and configured a transmitter, you are ready to start up the process loop. Start-up
usually includes
• Applying process pressure to the transmitter,
• Checking zero input, and
• Reading input and output.
You can also run an optional output check to "wring out" an analog loop prior to start-up.
Procedure reference
The actual steps in a start-up procedure will vary based on the type of transmitter and the measurement
application. In general, you use the communicator to check the transmitter's input and output under static
process conditions, and make adjustments as required, before putting the transmitter into full operation with
the running process.
Choose the applicable procedure to reference in this section from Table 27 based on your type of
transmitter and the measurement application. The reference procedure will give you some idea of the
typical tasks associated with starting up a transmitter in a given application.

DP with Remote Seals
* These applications also apply for flange-mounted liquid level type transmitters that are usually
mounted directly to a flange at the zero level of the tank.
** These applications also apply for GP and AP type transmitters equipped with remote seals.
However, you can only confirm that input pressure correlates with transmitter output in processes using
remote seal connections.
