3-18 ApexPro™ 2001989-351A
Installation and configuration
Before installation, determine and record the date of initial factory calibration of
transmitters and installation calibration is not within 30 months of the date shown on
the manufacturer calibration sticker, calibrate before installation.See Calibration on
page 4-10.
Programming the transmitter for use
Before use, the transmitter must be programmed. The transmitter is programmed or
upgraded in the field to:
select the operating frequency and corresponding TTX number
select the reference lead
set the alarm pause time
select the filter setting
change the serial number
download new software
Refer to the ApexPro Telemetry Frequency Chart Reference Manual for the operating
frequencies and the corresponding TTX ID numbers.
Refer to the Transmitter Programming Box Programming Instructions for details.
Transmitter configuration
Program code storage
Executable program code for the main processor is stored in non-volatile
programmable memory. Program code can be changed via an interface connector port
using the PC-based programming box software or a HyperTerminal program and a
programming box. The version of the currently stored transmitter code can be
displayed using the transmitter programming box software kit. See Apex, ApexPro
and ApexPro CH Transmitter Programming Instructions.
Error log
The transmitter contains an error log in its non-volatile programmable memory. When
a synthesizer lock error occurs, this is logged and latched into the appropriate
memory space. When a checksum error on start-up occurs, this is logged into the
appropriate memory space for this as well. The error log can be viewed using the
programming box PC software or a HyperTerminal program. This reports both of
these errors as well as a real-time report of the synthesizer lock status.
Parameters
Using HyperTerminal or the ApexPro PC programming box software, certain
transmitter parameters can be viewed and some can be changed while in service
mode.
