(Section 4.2)

Configure the channels

(Section 4.3)

Configure measurement units

(Section 4.4)

Configure mA output

(Section 4.5)

Configure discrete outputs(1)

(Section 4.6)

Configure discrete input(1)

(Section 4.7)

Done(2)

(1)Only the input or outputs that have been assigned to a channel need to be configured.

(2)If the meter verification option has been purchased, the final configuration step should be to establish a meter verification baseline (see Section 4.8).

ProLink II

Flowmeter Startup

This chapter provides basic flowcharts for each procedure. For more detailed flowcharts, see the ProLink II flowcharts, provided in Appendix C.

Default values and ranges for the parameters described in this chapter are provided in Appendix A.

For optional transmitter configuration parameters and procedures, see Chapter 6. For configuration of the filling and dosing application, see Chapter 7.

Note: All ProLink II procedures provided in this chapter assume that your computer is already connected to the transmitter and you have established communication. All ProLink II procedures also assume that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 2 for more information.
