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
Identify options and configurations
The typical transmitter installation includes a device power connection, a 4-20mA 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
•
HART multidrop configuration
The transmitter may have up to four user-selectable hardware switches. These switches
set the alarm mode, internal/external analog power, internal/external pulse power, and
transmitter security. The standard configuration for these switches when shipped from the
factory is as follows:
Table 4-1: Hardware switch default settings

Alarm mode
Internal/external analog power

Transmitter security
The analog power switch and pulse power switches are 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
