The meter features a two-line display with five digits for reporting the process 
variable on the top line and six characters for displaying engineering units on 
the bottom line. The LCD meter can also display flow and level scales. The 
meter uses both lines to display diagnostic messages. The meter can be 
configured to display the following information:
engineering units
percent of range
user-configurable LCD scale
alternating between any two of the above
Custom Meter 
Configuration
The user-configurable scale is a feature that enables the LCD meter to 
display flow, level, or custom pressure units. The meter can be configured 
using a HART Communicator (see Table A-1 on page A-4).
The user-configurable scale feature can define:
decimal point position
upper range values
lower range values
engineering units
transfer function
To configure the meter with a HART communicator, perform the 
following procedure:
1. Connect the communicator to the transmitter. Before connecting a 
communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in 
the loop are installed according to intrinsically safe or nonincendive field 
wiring practices.
2. From the 
ONLINE
 screen, select 1 Device Setup, 3 Basic Setup, 7 Meter 
Options, 2 Custom Meter Setup.
3. To specify decimal point position:
a. Select 1 Sel dec pt pos. Choose the decimal point representation 
that will provide the most accurate output for your application. For 
example, when outputting between 0 and 75 GPM, choose XX.XXX.
4. To specify a custom upper range value:
a. Select 2 CM Upper Value. Type the value that you want the 
transmitter to read at the 20 mA point.
5. To specify a custom lower range value:
a. Select 3 CM Lower Value. Type the value that you want the 
transmitter to read at the 4 mA point.
6. To define custom units:
a. Select 4 CM Units. Enter the custom units (five characters 
maximum) that you want the meter to display.
7. To choose the transmitter transfer function for the meter:
See “Safety Messages” in Section 6 for warning information.
