2.2 Commissioning
The 3144P must be configured for certain basic variables to operate. In many cases, these
variables are pre-configured at the factory. Configuration may be required if the variables need
to be changed.
Commissioning consists of testing the transmitter and verifying transmitter configuration data.

3144P transmitters can be commissioned either before or after installation.
Commissioning the transmitter on the bench before installation using a field communicator or
AMS
™
Device Manager ensures that all transmitter components are in working order.
For more information on using the field communicator with the 3144P transmitter, see “HART®
commissioning” on page 29. For more information on using the 3144 with F

2.2.1 Setting the loop to manual
Set the process application loop to manual when sending or requesting data that would disrupt
the loop or change the output of the transmitter. The field communicator or AMS Device
Manager will prompt to set the loop to manual, when necessary. Acknowledging the prompt
does not set the loop to manual, it is only a reminder. Setting the loop to manual is a separate
operation.
