Getting Started
Before booting the Smart Interface software, connect the Smart flow
meter to your computer.
1. Locate the serial communications port "COM 1" or "COM 2" on
your computer (if uncertain, check the computer manual). Plug
the Smart Interface serial cable into the desired port.
2. Remove the flow meter cover. For square NEMA 4X enclo-
sures, loosen four screws and remove the front cover. For
round Hazardous-Area enclosures, use a 3/16 inch hex key to
loosen the set screw and remove the smaller end.
3. Plug the polarized mating end of the cable into the polarized
RS-232 connector on the flow meter terminal board. Turn on
power to the flow meter.
4. Double click the SIP icon to load the Smart Interface software.
When prompted, select the appropriate COM port, click OK to
continue.
