3 Pre-installation
Before installing the transmitter, there are several pre-installation steps that
should be completed to make the installation process easier:
• Identify options and configurations that apply to your application
• Set the hardware switches if necessary
• Consider mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements
Note
Refer to the product reference manual for more detailed requirements.
Identify options and configurations
The typical transmitter installation includes a device power connection, a
Modbus RS-485 output connection, and sensor coil and electrode
connections. Other applications may require one or more of the following
configurations or options:
• Pulse output
• Discrete input/discrete output
Hardware switches
The transmitter has two user-selectable hardware switches. These switches
set the internal/external pulse power and transmitter security. The standard
configuration for these switches when shipped from the factory is as follows:
Table 3-1:
Setting
Internal/external pulse power
Transmitter security
The internal/external pulse power switch is not available when ordered with
intrinsically safe output, ordering code B.
In most cases, it is not necessary to change the setting of the hardware
switches. If the switch settings need to be changed, refer to the product
reference manual.
Be sure to identify any additional options and configurations that apply to the
installation. Keep a list of these options for consideration during the
installation and configuration procedures.
