Communications cable wiring

Field calibration requires a Data Industrial A320 Pro-

gramming kit (consisting of a custom cable and soft-

ware) and a PC running Windows® 9x, ME, NT, 2000 or

XP. In order to program, the

Model 320 must be connect-

ed to power, and the A301

cable must be connected to

the Model 320 Comm port

connector and an available

DB9 COM port on a com-

puter.

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 Sen-

sors.

Programming Software Installation

Floppy Installation

Place the software installation Disk 1 into the floppy

drive and run the setup.exe program to install.

CDROM Installation

Software CD into the CDROM drive and it should auto-

start then Click software and click the product name for

what software you want installed and the installation will

begin.

Web Installation

Data Industrial provides free programming software up-

dates via the Internet for all of 300 Series devices. The

Installation software can be found at the Data Industrial

web site (www.dataindustrial.com) in the support sec-

tion.

Model 320 Programming

Programming the Model 320 is accomplished by install-

ing the Data Industrial programming software on a com-

puter and entering data on templates of the Windows®

based program.

1. Load the interface software into the computer.

2. Connect the computer to the Model 320 transmit-

ter using the Data Industrial A301 communications

cable. Plug A301 cable to the socket labeled “D.I.C

Comm Port” taking care to properly align the tab on the

plug and socket to maintain polarity then plug the DB9

connector of the Data Industrial A301 communications

cable to an avaliable PC com port that has the Model

320 software installed.

3. Connect the Model 320 transmitter to a power sup-

ply.
