7.4 Initial commissioning
The LMS5xx is adapted to the local measurement or detecting situation using SOPAS ET.
For this purpose a custom parameter set of the parameter values is created using SOPAS
ET. The parameter set can either be loaded initially from the device (upload, initial
commissioning: factory settings). Or it can be prepared independently, based on the factory
settings or as modification of an existing parameter set of the same device type and
firmware version.
The parameter set is then loaded into the LMS5xx (download). This action is performed
either immediately (SOPAS ET option I
MMEDIATE DOWNLOAD) or manually (SOPAS ET command
D
OWNLOAD ALL PARAMETERS TO THE DEVICE).
Important Once the configuration has been completed, the changed parameter set must be saved in
the non-volatile memory in the LMS5xx. Due to a saving concept, it is recommeded to save
the parameter set also as a project file (*.spr file with configuration data) on the PC.

7.4.1 Configuring the LMS5xx
You can configure the LMS5xx in two ways:
 Interactively using SOPAS ET
This section describes the interactive configuration.
 Using configuration telegrams
On this subject please read section 3.13 “Data communication using telegrams” on
page 48.
Interactive configuration using SOPAS ET
All parameters that can be configured for the LMS5xx are combined into a corresponding
device description (sdd file) for SOPAS ET. You can open this file using the device
description project tree.
The function of each parameter is explained in a context-sensitive online help ([F1] key). The
valid range of values and the default are listed in the P
ARAMETER INFO window (right mouse
button when the pointer is positioned over the parameter).
