5.1 Configuration with a PC
The configuration of the transmitters works with a PC and the manufacturer's 
PC configuration kit (for further information refer to 
Accessory parts on page 31). If wether the
PC nor the transmitter (including its sensor) is within a potentially explosive area, you can carry 
out the configuration "online" (i.e. the transmitter can remain in operation during the 
configuration and you have access to all functions). During configuration, the output is "frozen" 
and the transmitter continues to work with the last value. As soon as the configuration has been 
completed, the transmitter uses the new parameters.
If you want to configure the transmitter with a PC, the following conditions have to be fulfilled:
• The transmitter must be connected to a power supply. For further information refer to the
chapter "Electrical connection".
• The software "TempSoft" has to be installed on your PC. For further information refer to the
manual "TempSoft". The current version of the software and the manual "TempSoft" are 
available in the download area on the manufacturer's website.
• You have available the manufacturer's PC configuration kit which contains a
configuration cable and an adapter cable.
• Maximum common-mode voltage on the input is restricted to 50 VAC / 75 VDC.
To configure the in-head version (Ex and Non-Ex) you just need the configuration cable with the 
adapter cable; to configure the rail-mount version, you only need the configuration cable. For 
further information refer to the following illustrations:
DANGER!
Never establish a connection between a PC and a transmitter if one of them is within a 
potentially explosive area. Otherwise the PC or the transmitter might cause an explosion that 
can result in fatal injuries. If you want to configure the transmitter with the help of a PC, assure 
that both of them are not in a potentially explosive area.
DANGER!
If you want to configure a transmitter with an Ex approval with the help of a PC, always use an
ATEX certified cable. Never configure the transmitter when in hazardous area or when 
connected to a sensor located in hazardous area. 
CAUTION!
Only use the manufacturer's configuration kit for PC configuration. Another configuration kit 
could destroy or damage the transmitter.
DANGER!
Always put the cover on the transmitter programming connector when not used.
If the transmitter is not properly installed, the programming connector can get energized and 
cause electrical shock.
