Required Transmitter Configuration
6.1 Overview
This chapter describes the configuration procedures that are usually required when a transmitter is
installed for the first time.
The following procedures are discussed:
• Characterizing the flowmeter – see Section 6.2
• Configuring measurement units – see Section 6.3
This chapter provides basic flowcharts for each procedure. For more detailed flowcharts, see the
flowcharts for your communication tool, provided in the appendices to this manual.
For optional transmitter configuration parameters and procedures, see Chapter 8.
Note: All ProLink II procedures provided in this chapter assume that you have established
communication between ProLink II and the Model 2400S DN transmitter and that you are complying
with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 4 for more information.
Note: If you are using Pocket ProLink, the interface is similar to the ProLink II interface described in
this chapter.
Note: All DeviceNet tool procedures provided in this chapter assume that you have established
communication between the DeviceNet tool and the Model 2400S DN transmitter and that you are
complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 5 for more information.
6.2 Characterizing the flowmeter
Characterizing the flowmeter adjusts the transmitter to compensate for the unique traits of the sensor
it is paired with. The characterization parameters, or calibration factors, describe the sensor’s
sensitivity to flow, density, and temperature.
6.2.1 When to characterize
If the transmitter and sensor were ordered together, then the flowmeter has already been
characterized. You need to characterize the flowmeter only if the transmitter and sensor are being
paired together for the first time.
6.2.2 Characterization parameters
The characterization parameters that must be configured depend on your flowmeter’s sensor type:
“T-Series” or “Other” (also referred to as “Straight Tube” and “Curved Tube,” respectively), as listed
in Table 6-1. The “Other” category includes all Micro Motion sensors except T-Series.
The characterization parameters are provided on the sensor tag. See Figure 6-1 for illustrations of
sensor tags.
