Communications cable wiring
Field calibration requires a Data Industrial A320 Pro-
gramming kit (consisting of a custom cable and soft-
ware) and a PC running Windows® 9x, ME, NT, 2000 or
XP. In order to program, the
Model 320 must be connect-
ed to power, and the A301
cable must be connected to
the Model 320 Comm port
connector and an available
DB9 COM port on a com-
puter.
Note:
The Data Industrial A301 Cable will work with all 300
Series products. However the older version of the cable
(A300) does not have sufficient bandwidth to work with
the newer 340 Series Transmitters or SDI Flow Sen-
sors.
Programming Software Installation
Floppy Installation
Place the software installation Disk 1 into the floppy
drive and run the setup.exe program to install.
CDROM Installation
Software CD into the CDROM drive and it should auto-
start then Click software and click the product name for
what software you want installed and the installation will
begin.
Web Installation
Data Industrial provides free programming software up-
dates via the Internet for all of 300 Series devices. The
Installation software can be found at the Data Industrial
web site (www.dataindustrial.com) in the support sec-
tion.
Model 320 Programming
Programming the Model 320 is accomplished by install-
ing the Data Industrial programming software on a com-
puter and entering data on templates of the Windows®
based program.
1. Load the interface software into the computer.
2. Connect the computer to the Model 320 transmit-
ter using the Data Industrial A301 communications
cable. Plug A301 cable to the socket labeled “D.I.C
Comm Port” taking care to properly align the tab on the
plug and socket to maintain polarity then plug the DB9
connector of the Data Industrial A301 communications
cable to an avaliable PC com port that has the Model
320 software installed.
3. Connect the Model 320 transmitter to a power sup-
ply.
