CONFIGURE MODE 
 
Before the instrument can be put into a process measurement loop it must be configured.  The TB82PH Transmitter 
operation (non-fieldbus versions) can be set in either a BASIC or ADVANCED Mode.  BASIC mode is sufficient for 95% of 
all measurements.  ADVANCED functions are described in Italic  print in the ‘alternatives’ section of the default 
configuration table and in the ‘Configure Mode - Flow Chart for ADVANCED Mode’ section.  Figures 15 through 25 show 
typical screen flows for a BASIC pH Configuration.
