desired password.
• Default: AAAA
• Range: Any four alphanumeric characters
• Password Required must be set to At Write or Enter Menu to enable the totalizer/inventory control
context menu password option.
Important
If you enable Password Required but you do not change the display password, the transmitter will post
a configuration alert.
4. Configure Main Menu Available as desired.
Option Description
Enabled The local display Menu option from the process variable screen will be accessible.
Disabled The local display Menu option from the process variable screen will not be accessible.
Important
Once Main Menu Available has been disabled, you cannot enable it from the local display. Use another
configuration tool, such as ProLink III, to re-enable main menu access from the local display.
3.2 Work with configuration files
3.2.1 Save a configuration file using the display
You can save the current transmitter configuration in two forms: a backup file and a replication file. You can
save it to the SD card on your transmitter or to a USB drive.
Backup files
Contain all parameters. They are used to restore the current device if required.
The .spare extension is used to identify backup files.
Replication files
Contain all parameters except the device-specific parameters, e.g., calibration factors or
meter factors. They are used to replicate the transmitter configuration to other devices.
The .xfer extension is used to identify replication files.
Tip
You can use a saved configuration file to change the nature of the transmitter quickly. This might be
convenient if the transmitter is used for different applications or different process fluids.
Prerequisites
If you are planning to use the USB drive, the service port must be enabled. It is enabled by default. However, if
you need to enable it, choose Menu > Configuration > Security and set Service Port to On.
