Communications cable wiring
Field calibration requires a Data Industrial A310 Programming kit
(consisting of a custom cable and software) and a PC running
Windows ® 9x, ME, NT, 2000 or XP. In order to program the Model 310
it must be connected to Loop-Power and the A301 cable must be
connected between the Model 310 Comm port connector and an
available DB9 COM port on a computer.
Note:
The Data Industrial A301 Cable will work with all 300 Series
products. However the older version of the cable (A300) does not have sufficient bandwidth to
work with the newer 340 Series Transmitters or SDI Flow Sensors.
Data Industrial provides free programming software updates via the Internet for all of 300 Series
devices. Go to www.dataindustrial.com for these updates.
