We recommend the following sequence for getting the

1.
DO NOT
apply AC or DC power to the totalizer.
2. Connect the totalizer to the PC with the USB
cable provided.
DO NOT
use a different USB
cable.
3. If MeterView Pro (MVPro) is already installed in
your computer, then the program will launch
automatically in most systems. If the program
does not start automatically, double-click on the
MVPro icon.
4. If MVPro is not installed, follow the instructions

5. Use MVPro to configure the totalizer for your
application.

MeterView Pro Software
The easiest and quickest way to program your
ProtEX-MAX totalizer is to use the FREE MeterView
Pro programming software. This software is loaded
into the totalizer and connects and installs directly to
your PC with the USB cable provided.
DO NOT
use a
different USB cable. We recommend that the first
thing you do after taking the totalizer out of the box is
connect the ProtEX-MAX to your PC with the provided
USB cable.
DO NOT
apply AC or DC power to the
totalizer while your PC is connected to the totalizer as
it will disrupt the USB connection. It is not necessary
to apply an input signal.
MeterView Pro programming software is intuitive, and
most customers can get their totalizer programmed as
they like without even looking in the manual.

MeterView Pro Installation
1. Connect one end of the provided USB cable
to the totalizer and the other end to the
computer. The computer will automatically
install the driver software it needs to talk to
the totalizer. Follow the on-screen
instructions and allow sufficient time for the
process to complete. This can take a few
minutes. If the process is interrupted, then it
could leave the system in an unstable
condition.
•
Only one totalizer may be connected at a time.
Attaching multiple totalizers will cause a conflict
with the totalizer software.
•
DO NOT
apply AC or DC power to the totalizer
when using the USB connection.
•
When using the USB connection, the totalizer
should only be connected to a computer when
both devices are in a non-hazardous area.
2. Once the driver is installed, an AutoPlay
dialog should appear for the drive
“MAINSTAL.” Click “Open folder to view
files.”
If the computer does not display an AutoPlay
dialog for the drive “MAINSTAL,” you should
open My Computer and double-click on the
drive labeled “MAINSTAL.”
3. Double-
click on the file named “MAStart.”
The program will open a few windows and
install two programs on your computer.
Simply follow the on-screen instructions until
you see one of the dialogs below. If you
receive a “User Account Control” warning,
click “Yes.”
4. If there is an update available, click the
“Update” button to install the new version.
Otherwise, click “Configure” to begin
programming your totalizer.
Note:
If you decide to update your MeterView Pro
software, once the installation has completed, you will be
asked if you want to update the setup files located on the
totalizer itself. This way, you will always have the most
current version on the totalizer for future installs.
•
DO NOT
unplug the totalizer while the new
installation files are being written to it. The
totalizer will display
uwrite
during the process
and you will receive an on-screen notification
once the process is complete.
