DIP switch on the Modbus-communication board 
 
Fig. 45:  Communication board Modbus 
1 Interface for LCD indicator and service port  2 DIP switches 
 
The communication board is located behind the front housing 
cover. The LCD indicator may have to be removed to provide 
access to the DIP switches. 
The DIP switches are used to configure specific hardware 
functions. The power supply to the transmitter must be briefly 
interrupted in order for the modified setting to take effect. 
The interface for the LCD indicator is also used as the service 
port for device configuration.

Replacement mode (transfer system data) 
On:  Replacement mode active 
Off:  Replacement mode deactivated 
SW 1.2 
 
System data transfer direction 
On:  Transmitter -> sensor 
Off:  Sensor -> transmitter 
SW 1.3 
 
No function 
SW 1.4 
 
Format SensorMemory 
Service function! - Risk of data loss in the device. 
SW 1.5 
 
Write protection switch 
On: Write protection active 
Off: Write protection deactivated 
SW 1.6 
 
No function 
 
 
Write protection switch 
If write protection is active, the device parameterization cannot 
be changed. Activating and sealing the write protection switch 
protects the device against tampering 
 
Downloading system data, replacing the transmitter 
When replacing transmitter components (communication 
board), system data must be downloaded from the 
SensorMemory. 
Loading system data and the system data transfer direction is 
activated using DIP switches SW 1.1 and SW 1.2. 
See chapter "Repair“ in the operating manual. 
 
6.3  Switch on the power supply 
Switch on the power supply. 
After switching on the power supply, the system data in the 
SensorMemory is compared with the values stored internally in 
the transmitter. 
If the system data is not identical, it is balanced automatically.  
The flowmeter is now ready for operation. 
The LCD display displays the process display. 
 
6.3.1  Checks after switching on the power supply  
The following must be checked after commissioning the 
device: 
—  The parameter configuration must correspond to the 
operating conditions. 
—  The system zero point is stable. If this is not the case, a 
zero point balance must be carried out (see chapter "Zero 
point adjustment under operating conditions" on page 57).  
 
6.4  Checking and configuring the basic settings 
The device can be factory parameterized to customer 
specifications upon request. If no customer information is 
available, the device is delivered with factory settings.
