For best performance, it is recommended that:
•
Digital Output wires should be in a separate shielded twisted pair cable, do not use the same
cable as used for the Loop or the Sensor wires
•
If using the same power supply to operate both the 4-20mA Loop and the Digital Output, then
make the interconnections to the power supply terminals directly at the power supply

3.6 Startup
3.6.1 Overview
This section identifies typical start up tasks associated with several generic temperature measurement
applications. It also includes the procedure for running an optional analog output check.
3.6.2 Startup Tasks
After completing the installation and configuration tasks for a Transmitter, you are ready to start up the
process loop. Startup usually includes:
•
Setting initial resistance (T/C sensor types only)
•
Reading inputs and outputs
•
Applying process inputs to the transmitter.
You can also run an optional output check to wring out an analog loop and check out individual
Process Variable (PV) outputs in Digitally Enhanced (DE) mode before startup.
