4.1 Introduction
The 8732EM transmitter features a full range of software functions, transmitter configurations,
and diagnostic settings. These features can be accessed through the Local Operator Interface
(LOI), a handheld field communicator, AMS
®
Device Manager, or a host control system.
Configuration variables may be changed at any time; specific instructions are provided through
on-screen instructions.
This section covers the basic features of the LOI (optional) and provides general instructions on
how to navigate the configuration menus using the optical buttons. The section also covers the
use of a field communicator and provides menu trees to access each function.
For detailed LOI configuration refer to Section 5: Advanced Configuration Functionality.
4.2 Local operator interface (LOI)
The optional LOI provides a communications center for the 8732EM.
The LOI allows an operator to:
Change transmitter configuration
View flow and totalizer values
Start/stop and reset totalizer values
Run diagnostics and view the results
Monitor transmitter status
Other functions
4.2.1 Basic features
The basic features of the LOI include a display window and four navigational arrow keys (see
Figure 4-1).
To activate the LOI, press the DOWN arrow two times. Use the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT
arrows to navigate the menu structure. A map of the LOI menu structure is shown on Figure 4-2
and Figure 4-3.
