Configuring the Transmitter
The ECLIPSE transmitter comes configured from the factory
but can be reconfigured easily in the shop (disregard error
message due to unattached probe). Bench configuration
provides a convenient and efficient way to set up the
transmitter before going to the tank site to complete the
installation.
Before configuring the transmitter, collect the operating
parameters information (refer to Section 1.1.2). Power up
the transmitter on the bench and follow through the step-
by-step procedures for the menu-driven transmitter display.
Information on configuring the transmitter using a HART
communicator is given in Configuration Using HART,
Section 2.7.
Information on configuring the transmitter using
F
OUNDATION
fieldbus is given in Section 2.8.
Refer to instruction manual 57-640 for detailed
F
OUNDATION
fieldbus information.
2.6.1 Operating Parameters
Some key information is needed to calibrate the ECLIPSE
transmitter. Complete the configuration information table
in Section 1.1.2.
2.6.2 Setting Up for Bench Configuration
The ECLIPSE transmitter can be configured at a test
bench by connecting a 24 VDC power supply directly to
the transmitter terminals as shown in the accompanying
diagram. An optional digital multimeter is shown if cur-
rent measurements are desired.
NOTE: Current measurements taken at these test points is an
approximate value. Accurate current readings should be
taken with the digital multimeter in series with the loop.
1. When using a HART communicator for configuration, a
minimum 250
Ω
line load resistance is required. See the
HART communicator manual for more information.
2. The transmitter can be configured without the probe.
(Disregard the error message due to the unattached probe.)
3. After entering the last value, allow 10 seconds before
removing power from the transmitter. This allows the
transmitter to store values.
