calibration, and automatically document activities with a single application.
Full configuration capability with AMS Device Manager requires loading the most current Device
Descriptor (DD) for this device. Download the latest DD at Emerson.com/Rosemount
or Fieldcomm.org.
Note
All steps listed in this product manual using AMS Device Manager assume the use of Version 11.5.
LOI
The LOI requires option code M4 to be ordered. To activate the LOI push either configuration button.
Configuration buttons are located on the LCD display (must remove housing cover to access the
interface. See Ta ble 2-2 for configuration button functionality and Figure 2-3 for configuration button
location. When using the LOI for configuration, several features require multiple screens for a successful
configuration. Data entered will be saved on a screen-by-screen basis; the LOI will indicate this by flashing
“SAVED” on the LCD display each time.
Note
Entering into the LOI menu effectively disables the ability to write to the device by any other host or
configuration tool. Make sure this is communicated to necessary personnel before using the LOI for
device configuration.
