Initial Transmitter Startup Procedures
4.1
Overview
The procedures described in this chapter should be performed the first time a transmitter is started.
You can use ProLink II, the HART Communicator, AMS software, or the display to perform the
procedures: the communications method does not matter.
You can use ProLink II, the HART Communicator, AMS software, or the display to perform the

The following procedures are described:
•
Using ProLink II to perform a loop test on transmitter outputs (and inputs, if your transmitter
has a discrete input or frequency input)
has a discrete input or frequency input)
•
Using ProLink II to trim the mA outputs
•
Using ProLink II to zero the meter
Note: The procedures in this chapter provide general methods for using ProLink II with your
transmitter. For information on using the HART Communicator or the display, or for information
specific to your transmitter such as the number and type of outputs, specific ranges for each output,
etc., refer to the appropriate transmitter manual. Transmitter manuals are shipped with the
transmitter, and are also available on the Micro Motion web site.

Loop tests
A loop test is a means to:
•
Verify that outputs are being sent by the transmitter and received accurately by the receiving
devices
devices
•
Determine whether or not you need to trim the mA outputs
•
Verify that the discrete input or frequency input sent by an external device is being received
correctly by the transmitter (if the transmitter has a discrete input or frequency input)
correctly by the transmitter (if the transmitter has a discrete input or frequency input)
The ProLink II loop test options are shown in Figure 4-1. Different options are available with different
transmitters.
