Before You Begin About the ProLink® program Getting Started 1.1 Before You Begin 1 This manual explains how to use the Micro Motion® ProLink™ software program under the Microsoft® Windows® graphical environment for IBM-compatible personal computers. Before using this instruction manual, the reader should be familiar with Microsoft Windows. The ProLink program provides communication between a personal computer and Micro Motion RFT9739, IFT9701, IFT9703, RFT9712, and RFT9729 transmitters.

Getting Started Overview Depending on the transmitter model, communication with the flowmeter uses the Bell 202 and/or RS-485 communication standards. The PC Interface adaptor, shown in Figure 2-1, converts Bell 202 or RS-485 signals from the flowmeter to and from the RS-232-C standard used by personal computers. Getting Started 2.1 Before You Begin 2 Installing the ProLink program requires the following four steps: Figure 2-1. PC Interface adaptor File Menu: Database 1.
PAGE 20
Getting Started continued Communication standards 2.2 Communication standards Switches and jumpers on the transmitter determine the communication standard used by the transmitter. Micro Motion configures each transmitter's default communication settings at the factory. Depending on the transmitter model, transmitters can communicate using HART and/or Modbus ® protocol, using the Bell 202 or RS-485 standard. Communication configuration for the ProLink program and transmitter must be the same.
PAGE 21
Wiring to the transmitter 2.3 Wiring to the transmitter Wiring connections to RFT9739, IFT9701, IFT9703, RFT9712, and RFT9729 transmitters are shown on the following pages. The configured communication standard (Bell 202 or RS-485) determines how the transmitter and PC Interface adaptor are wired together.

Getting Started continued Connecting to the PC and power source 2.4 Connecting to the PC and power source Follow these instructions to install the PC Interface adaptor: 1. Plug the AC/DC power converter into the adaptor. Or, if desired, install a 9-volt battery (not included) in the battery compartment on the back of the adaptor (see Figure 2-1, page 5). • Battery life is approximately 11 hours when the transmitter operates at 38.4 kilobaud.
PAGE 27
Installing the software 2.5 Installing the software The ProLink kit comes with one 3½-inch diskette, which contains the operating files for the software. Because the ProLink installation/setup program decompresses files during installation, ProLink software cannot be installed by copying files from the diskette to the hard drive. Run the ProLink installation/setup program to install the ProLink software on the personal computer hard drive. To install the ProLink program: 1.

Operational indicators • Given: An RFT9739 is configured to measure temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). The milliamp output is configured so that 20 mA represents 80°C. The milliamp output goes out of range (high) at 20 mA. Solution: Change the span of the milliamp output. Increase the temperature indicated by the output at 20 mA to 100°C. Frequency output saturated If Frequency Output Saturated switches ON, open the View menu, then choose Output Levels to open the Output Levels window.
