Initial Transmitter Startup Procedures
4.1
Overview
The first time you start up your transmitter, it may be useful to perform one or more of the following
tasks:
•
Perform a loop test on transmitter outputs (and inputs, if your transmitter has a discrete input
or frequency input)
•
Trim the mA outputs
•
Zero the meter
Not all transmitters or all meters require these steps. Refer to the transmitter manual shipped with
your device.
4.2
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
•
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)
The general procedure for performing a loop test is shown in Figure 4-1. You can also perform a loop
test from the Commissioning Wizard:
