1. APPLICATION
The PD14 programmer with USB link is destined to program transducers of
P11 and P12 series and readout archived parameters in the P12 transducers,
in the windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP environment.
The software applied in PD14 (PD11 programmer) enables:
– modification of transducer work parameters,
– write and readout of set transducer parameters in the file under an
optional name,
– two modes of program work:
- programming mode (edition mode connected with the simultaneous
write of changed parameters into the transducer),
- edition mode (edition of transducer parameters with the possibility
of their printout, readout or write to the file),
– readout of process parameters from the transducer (minimum,
maximum, measured value, etc.), parameters calculated and recorded
(only for P12),
- clearing of minimal and maximal values,
- protection of the access to transducer parameters by a password,
- automatic memorizing of the program configuration before its closure.
The programmer software works in following Windows systems: Windows
95/98/2000/NT/XP
2. PROGRAMMER SET

1. General
The PD14 programmers are destined to be mounted in accordance
with customer’s requirements.
Non-authorized removal of the required housing, inappropriate use,
incorrect installation or operation creates the risk of injury to personnel
or damage to equipment. For more detailed information please study
the User’s Manual.
All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as
well as maintenance must be carried out by qualified, skilled personnel
and national regulations for the prevention of accidents must be
observed.
According to this basic safety information, qualified, skilled personnel
are persons who are familiar with the installation, assembly,
commissioning, and operation of the product and who have
qualifications necessary for their occupation.
Remarks concerning the operator safety:
2. TransporT, sToraGe
Please observe the notes on transport, storage and appropriate
handling.
Observe the climatic conditions given in Technical Data.

3. InsTallaTIon
The PD14 programmer must be installed according to the regulation
and instructions given in this User’s Manual.
Ensure proper handling and avoid mechanical stress.
Do not bend any components and do not change any insulation
distances.
Do not touch any electronic components and contacts.
Devices may contain electrostatically sensitive components, which can
easily be damaged by inappropriate handling.
Do not damage or destroy any electrical components since this might
endanger your health!
4. elecTrIcal connecTIon
Before switching the device on, one must check the correctness of
connection to the network.
In case of the protection terminal connection with a separate lead one
must remember to connect it before the connection of the device to the
mains.
When working on live devices, the applicable national regulations for
the prevention of accidents must be observed.
The electrical installation must be carried out according to the
appropriate regulations (cable cross-sections, fuses, PE connection).
Additional information can be obtained from the user’s guide.
The documentation contains information about installation in
compliance with EMC (shielding, grounding, filters and cables). These
notes must be observed for all CE-marked products.
The manufacturer of the programmer or installed devices is responsible
for the compliance with the required limit values demanded by the
EMC legislation.
Do not connect the programmer to the mains through an
autotransformer.
5. operaTIon
Measuring systems including PD14 programmers must be equipped
with protection devices according to the corresponding standard and
regulations for prevention of accidents.
After the programmer has been disconnected from the supply voltage,
live components and power connections must not be touched
immediately because capacitors can be charged.
The housing must be closed during operation.
The protection degree ensured by the housing is defined as IP40 and IP10
from the connection side.

6. MaInTenance and servIcInG
Please observe the manufacturer’s documentation.
Read all product-specific safety and application notes in this User’s
Manual.
Before taking the device housing out, one must turn the supply off.
The removal of the device housing during the guaranty contract period
may cause its cancellation.
4. 2. Assembling the programmer
The programmer is a portable device supplied from the USB bus and
transducer. The drawing with overall dimensions of the PD14 programmer
is presented on the fig. 1
To the computer USB port
To the programmer
There are two diodes on the frontal plate:
Green (RxD) - signals the reception of data from the transducer
Yellow (TxD) - signals the transmission of data to the transducer.

4.3. Installing COM port drivers in the computer
The PD14 programmer takes advantage of FTDIBUS DRIVER and FTDIPORT
DRIVER, licensed by the Future Technology Devices International Ltd.
Company.
This software creates in the system, a new USB Serial transducer device
and assigned to it, the Port (COM) – The USB.
The installation of the driver in the Windows system causes the addition of
a successive COM serial port to the list of ports serviced by the operating
system. On the CD added to the programmer, there are catalogues with
drivers for following operating systems
- WIN_98: Windows 98 and ME,
- WIN_XP: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003.
- WIN_XP_64: Windows Vista x64, Windows XP x64, Windows Server 2003 x64.

- Installation in Windows 98 and ME systems
In order to install drivers for Windows 98 and ME systems, one must carry out
following operations: connect the programmer to the USB port, the system
asks for drivers for the device, then one must insert the CD disk and indicate
the catalogue with drivers for the system.
When installing drivers, information may occur, that the Software did not
pass tests of goodness of fit with the Windows system. One must ignore this
information, and continue the installation. After the successful installation,
the system will inform about the installation of new equipment.
- Installation in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista
and Windows Server 2003 systems.
In order to install drivers for these systems, one must start the program carried
out from the catalogue with the appropriate driver for the given system:
- WIN_XP\CDM_Setup.exe (for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista
and Windows Server 2003),
- WIN_XP_64\ CDM_x64_Setup.exe (for Windows XP x64, Windows Vista
x64 and Windows Server 2003 x64).
This software will install drivers in the system for new devices and ports.
Next, one must connect the transducer, which will be found and identified
by the system as USB serial transducer, and the Port(Com) - USB Serial
Port will be assigned to it.
4.4. Installing the software of the PD14 programmer
The PD14 programmer co-operates with the software of the PD14
programmer. In order to install the programmer software under Windows,
one must:
1. Insert the installation diskette in the CDROM drive
2. Click the Start key on the Windows task bar and choose Start...
3. Write the access path, e.g. e:\setup.exe
4. after starting the installation program, define the in-coming path.
5. DESCRIPTION OF THE PD11 PROGRAM
The PD11 program realizes two work functions:
- Edition mode, in which, one can edit parameters of the selected
transducer, write and read them out from the file.
- Programming mode, realizes the same as the edition mode with the
possibility to the direct write of changed parameters to the transducer.
The program start follows after clicking the icon of the “PD11” program.
After starting, the program works in the edition mode.
