Appendix A Smart Meter Reference

A.1 Introduction

Smart Meter Option

Depending upon your transmitter model, you can equip the ST 3000

 

transmitter with the Smart Meter option (option SM). This new integral

 

smart meter is designed for ST 3000 Release 300 Transmitters and

 

provides functionality not available with other smart meter designs.

 

The smart meter provides an LCD local interface that displays both

 

analog and digital indications of the transmitter output and can be

 

configured to display pressure in user-selected engineering units.

 

There are two meter option types:

1.Smart Meter with local Zero and Span Adjustments – Features smart meter LCD interface, pushbuttons for setting engineering units and lower range/upper range values, and zero/span adjustments.

Smart Meter Set up

 

The smart meter can be set up to display pressure in a number of user-

 

selected engineering units or even custom units, if required. The meter

 

display set up is part of the transmitter configuration database and can

 

be performed when configuring the transmitter. You can use either the

 

Smartline© Configuration Toolkit (SCT 3000) software program or the

 

Smart Field Communicator (SFC) to configure the transmitter and the

 

smart meter. You can also use the pushbuttons on the front of the meter

 

to set up the smart meter display. The procedures for meter set up using

 

any of these configuration devices are provided in this appendix.
