Before switching to unsecured mode, ensure that you will be able to switch back to
secured mode. Because switching to unsecured mode requires breaking the physical seal,
switching back to secured mode may require a site visit from a certified Weights &
Measures inspector and reinstallation of the physical seal.
Ensure that the wiring is in place for a service port connection. You may need to break the
seal and remove the clamp.
Ensure that the RS-485 terminals are in service port mode. You may need to power-cycle

10.4 Replacing the core processor in a Weights &
Measures installation
In a Weights & Measures installation, replacing the core processor requires re-sealing the
transmitter.
When the transmitter is first secured, the core processor's unique ID is registered with the
transmitter. If you replace the core processor with another core processor, the transmitter
will post Status Alarm A026: Sensor/Xmtr Communication Error. To clear this alarm, you
must switch the transmitter to unsecured mode and resecure it. This requires breaking the
physical seal and reinstalling it when the entire process is complete.
Other procedures may be required. Refer to the Weights & Measurements documentation
for your installation.
