Installing the Software
1. Insert the CD into the proper drive.
2. If you don’t have the CD, contact Kenco, and have a copy of the software e-mailed to you.
3. Run setup.exe
4. Follow the instructions on screen to install the program.
Prepare for Calibration
1. Obtain a Linear Power Supply (24Vdc nominal), Multimeter, PC, and a HART Modem (RS-232 or USB).
2. Connect the Power Supply, Multimeter, and transmitter. Set the Multimeter to DC mA scale. Put a load resistor
in the loop (250-500Ω).
3. Connect the HART Modem to the PC using either the RS-232 port or an available USB port. DO not use an RS-
232 to USB converter. The timing of the HART signals will be negatively affected.
4. Connect the HART Modem to the transmitter using the HART Test Port on the front of the puck.
5. Apply power to the transmitter.
Basic
The Basic Setup window will automatically search and receive configuration data from the transmitter. If there is no data,
select a different serial communication port and click the “Find” button located next to the Polling Address drop-down box,
to rerun the search program. In the example above, the COM 5 Port was used.
