4 – Powering Up the Remote Display
Before powering on the display unit, verify that the following items are completed:
• Display unit has been installed securely to a fixed mounting location.
• Power and network connections have been checked for proper wiring and
connection integrity.
• All conduit and/or gland connections are in adherence to applicable electrical codes.
When power is applied to the unit it will go through a boot sequence and the unit will
attempt to connect to the configured device. If the display has not been configured or if
it fails to connect to the desired device, the display will return to the Main Menu.
4.1. Start-Up
Upon power up the unit will proceed through the following boot sequence:
1. FMC Technologies logo screen with boot progress bar.
2. For a short period, a configuration icon is shown (gears graphic); if this button is
pressed, the connection sequence in the next item is skipped and the display
connects immediately to the Display main menu.
3. If the display is configured, it will attempt to connect with the host device:
a. If the Primary URL is configured, the display will attempt to connect to this
host. If the Primary URL fails it will try to connect to the device with the
specified "Device Serial Number".
b. If a host serial number is configured, the display will search the network for
an FMC Technologies device with the specified serial number, obtain an IP
address, and attempt to connect with that host. If it fails with the device serial
number it will attempt to connect to the secondary URL.
c. If a fallback URL is configured the Display will attempt to connect to that host.
4. If step 2 is unsuccessful in connecting to any configured device or if the
Remote Display has not been configured, the Remote Display main menu will
be shown. From the Main Menu the connection settings can be configured and
the connection sequence repeated.

Ultra Series C Remote Display I/O/M Manual Display User Interface
5.2.1. Configuration – General
Date/Time – Adjust the date and time of the display unit. Once the display has been
sealed the date and time adjustment will be locked out.
Set Passwords – Update the passwords for either level 4 or level 5 access. The
screen will prompt for the old password and for the new password to be entered twice
for confirmation.
The password is unique to the remote display and is not shared with the ultrasonic meter.
IMPORTANT: Record all password modifications and store in a secure location.
5.2.2. Network Settings
The network settings are to configure the address of the Remote Display on the net-
work. Note that this is not the address of the meter that the display is connecting to. The
display is required to have a unique IP address because it exists as a device on the IP
network. There are two modes to create the display’s network address:
DHCP - The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used to request the IP address from
the network server. With this configuration checked, the DHCP server assigns a local
Issue/Rev. 0.0 (7/14) ║ MNLS007 • Page 17
Ultra Series C Remote Display I/O/M Manual Display User Interface
IP address to the Remote Display connected to the local network. This is the default
network setting from the factory.
Fixed – If the network administrator prefers to fix the IP address then this configuration
can be used. The network settings for the fixed address must be entered manually on
the display screen.
Note: The unit must be power cycled for the new settings to take effect.
5.2.3. Connections
The connections setting is used to connect to the desired ultrasonic flow meter.
Primary URL – This fixes a target IP/URL address that the display will first attempt to
connect to upon startup of the unit. In order to configure this value the IP address of
the ultrasonic flow meter must be known.
Primary Timeout – Maximum time allowed for the primary URL connection attempt, in
seconds. The URL connection attempt can be skipped by setting a zero timeout.
Device Serial Number – The unique serial number assigned to the ultrasonic meter
control board. The Ultra S eries flow meter will broadcast this Serial Number over the
network in a way that the Remote Display unit can detect. When the Remote Display
matches the configured Serial Number to a device on the network it will form a connec-
tion. The ultrasonic meter Serial Number will be displayed in the meter electronics box.
This is the recommended connection method to the ultrasonic flow meter.
Device Timeout – Maximum time to allow for the device Serial Number connection
attempt.
Secondary URL – An alternate target IP/URL address that the display will attempt to
connect to. In order to configure this value the IP address of the target device must be
known.
Secondary Timeout – Maximum time allowed for the secondary URL connection at-
tempt. The connection attempt can be skipped by setting a zero timeout.
Minimum Up Time – A minimum time since power up to allow before attempting a host
connection. Setting this to a larger value (in seconds) may be needed if the display
attempts to connect to its host before the host is ready to accept connections (for ex-
ample, if all instruments are turned on with the same power source, and the host takes
longer to boot up).
