Programming Configurations -
Overview
The MARS
Smart
Transmitter and the FlowBridge FlowCast are programmed via an inductive coil and the
parameters are set using the MARS
Smart
Reader handheld device. The software that is involved is very
different between the traditional MK-I or II and the VHP MARS
Smart
Transmitter. If you are unsure if
the proper software is installed, please refer to the Contact Us section of this manual and call MARS to
confirm.
The FlowBridge FlowCast can be programmed to be compatible with either the MK-I/II instructions or
VHP instructions outlined in this manual. As this is set by MARS during manufacture, please refer to
MARS to determine which configuration steps must be followed.
Before programming a MARS
Smart
Transmitter or FlowBridge FlowCast, be sure the
Smart
Reader is fully
charged. The center of the black nozzle on the
Smart
Reader must be centered over the locations
(shown on the left)
when a function is being processed, and
the center of the black nozzle of the
Smart
Reader MUST be flush with the
Smart
Transmitter/FlowBridge FlowCast housing. The
Smart
Reader can NOT be moved or pulled away from the
Smart
Transmitter/FlowBridge FlowCast
until the function in process is complete. When the function is complete, the light on the rear of the
Smart
Reader will stop flashing and the device will emit either an escalating tone (low to high) with a
solid green LED for a successful command, or a low, flat tone with a solid red LED for a failed command.
To program the MARS
Smart
Transmitter/FlowBridge FlowCast, follow the appropriate instructions in
this manual. There are many functions that are not manufacturer specific, all of which will be outlined.
Manufacturer specific information will be listed in a simplified format in this section as well.
