2. Getting started 2.1 What this chapter tells you
If you are new to the Micro Motion® 7951 Signal Converter, the worked examples in this chapter can help you to
become familiar with the installation and configuration procedures. The examples are:
x Example 1: 7951 with a 7810/11/12 (See page 2.2)
x Example 2: 7951 with a 3096/3098 Gas Specific Gravity (See page 2.6)
x Example 3: 7951 with a mA-type temperature transmitter (See page 2.9)
x Example 4: 7951 with a mA-type pressure transmitter (See page 2.12)
x Example 5: 7951 with a PRT-type temperature transmitter (See page 2.14)
Work through whichever one is most like your installation.
2.2 What the examples show you
Each example shows you how to:
x wire up a simple system
x set the DIP switches inside the 7951
x find the menu from which you start configuration
x clear the memory of details of any existing configuration (OPTIONAL)
x select the appropriate wizard to configure the simple system
x work through the wizard and button in information
x view the results of your configuration
The examples do not give full instructions on how to fit and configure installations. They are intended purely to
give you confidence to install and configure your own equipment. Chapter 5 tells you how to make permanent
installations.
2.3 If you need help...
If you get into difficulties...
If you get into difficulties when using the wizards, you can abandon the configuration and start again as follows:
1. From the menu, keep selecting NO (usually by pressing the c-button) or, if that option is not available:
2. Press ENTER until you can start selecting NO.
3. Carry on with (1) and (2) until you return to the wizards menu where you started.
4. Start the worked example again. The configuration you abandoned is cleared from the instrument’s
memory when you begin again.
If you don’t know where the buttons are...
Chapter 6 shows how to find all the buttons referred to in the worked examples.
