3.5 Installation procedure
The operation of the software device DTM requires the correct installation of the device driver.
The driver software is part of the device DTM and will be installed automatically during the
installation process. The driver software must be installed before connecting the device to the
computer. Otherwise, the operating system can not find the interface to the associated driver.
• Log in as administrator.
• Insert the software CD into your computer CD drive and start the installation software.
• Follow the instruction according to the instructions displayed on the screen.
• The software is installed in the default program directory of your computer under subdirectory
\KROHNE\OPTIBRIDGE DTM.
• Start installation of PACTware
TM
4.1. It is recommended to install the ICS Generic HART
®
DTM
and HART
®
Communication FDT as well in order to enable you to use generic HART
®
devices
for communication with PACTware
TM
.
• Start installation of the device DTM.
WARNING!
During installation of the device make sure that you use ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection
equipment.
CAUTION!
• Never shorten the cable length
• Store the device in its original packaging in a dry, dust-free location. Keep it away from dirt.
• Moisture inside the connectors must be avoided! Moisture may cause a short-circuit and
deliver erratic readings! If moisture has entered the connector dry it with air (e.g. hot air gun).
INFORMATION!
If the former SMARTBRIDGE device DTM is already installed you will get the following error
message: "SMARTBRIDGE device DTM is already installed".
Uninstall the SMARTBRIDGE device DTM first and then execute the OPTIBRDIGE device DTM
Setup.

3.6 Connecting the device
• Select the adapter cable suitable for your device.
• Plug in the USB connector 2into the USB port of the primary master 1.
• Connect the M8 cable connector (male) 4with the M8 cable connector (female) 3and tighten
it by hand (max. 5 Nm).
• Screw the VP cable connector 5on the sensor connector 6and tighten it by hand
(max. 5 Nm).
WARNING!
During installation of the device make sure that you use ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection
equipment.
CAUTION!
The resistor (load) for HART
®
communication is already integrated in the OPTIBRDIGE.
CAUTION!
Moisture on the sensor connector must be avoided! Moisture may cause a short-circuit and a
malfunction of the sensor!
If moisture has entered the connector dry it with air (e.g. hot air gun).
