2.4 Bench top configuration
Bench top configuration requires a Field Communicator, AMS, or any WirelessHART
Communicator. Connect the Field Communicator leads to the terminals labeled “COMM” on the
Power Module.
Bench top configuration consists of testing the transmitter and verifying transmitter
configuration data. 248 Wireless transmitters must be configured before installation.
Configuring the transmitter on the bench before installation using a Field Communicator, AMS,
or any WirelessHART Communicator ensures that all network settings are working correctly.
When using a Field Communicator, any configuration changes made must be sent to the
transmitter by using the Send key (F2). AMS configuration changes are implemented when the
Apply button is clicked.
Field Communicator
If performing device configuration directly, connect the bench equipment and turn on the Field
Communicator by pressing the ON/OFF key. When using a Field Communicator, any
configuration changes must be sent to the transmitter by using the Send key (F2).
The Field Communicator will search for a HART-compatible device and indicate when the
connection is made. If the Field Communicator fails to connect, it will indicate that no device
was found. If this occurs, refer to Section 6: Troubleshooting.
AMS
™
Device Manager and AMS Wireless Configurator
When configuring the Rosemount 248 Wireless using AMS Device Manager or AMS Wireless
Configurator, double click the Rosemount 248 Wireless device icon (or right click and select
Con/Setup), then choose the Configure Menu. AMS configuration changes are implemented
when the Apply button is clicked.
During direct connection configuration, AMS will search for a HART-compatible device and
indicate when the connection is made. If AMS fails to connect, it indicates that no device was
found. If this occurs, refer to Section 6: Troubleshooting.
Emerson Smart Wireless Gateway
The Rosemount 248 Wireless supports limited remote configuration through the Smart
Wireless Gateway. The Gateway allows configuration of the following device parameters: HART
Tag, Short Tag, Descriptor, Engineering Units, Update Rate and Range Values.
