1. SMART COMMUNICATION UNIT
1.1 General
Described in this manual are the operating instructions to use the Smart Communication Unit Model
EL2310 which operates in the Microsoft operating system Windows environment.
The EL2310 is a communication terminal designed for use in combination with a personal computer
(hereinafter referred to as PC) and any one of the OVAL Coriolis series flowmeters to set up, alter,
adjust, or read out parameters and variables, through interactive communications, locally at the point of
measurement or from a terminal in a remote location. Using a Windows PC at hand, you can monitor
multiple windows on its screen.
※: The EL2310 operates on the application software "LinkTop" furnished.

2. BEFORE YOU BEGIN
2.1 Inspection Upon Receipt
※Be sure you have the following items.
Remove the products from the EL2310 carton and make sure you have all the components required.
NOTE: For the installation of “LinkTop” and the interface driver, refer to “Installation Procedure
Manual”.

2.2 Hookup with Associated Equipment and Devices
Equipment set-up with associated equipment and devices are shown in Fig. 2.
NOTE: In Fig. 2, the customer is to supply the PC that meets the following requirements:
◇PC/AT compatible (DOS/V machine)
◇Operating system is the Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7.
◇RAM: 8MB or larger.
◇Hard disk: 10MB or larger
◇Provision of USB port
The receiving instrument in the figure above requires a load resistance 250Ω min. Its upper limit depends
on the specification of transmitter used.
If the receiving instrument does not have a built-in RL, use it with an external RLconnected in series.

3.2 Starting the LinkTop and Connections
①Hook up the owmeter transmitter, PC interface adapter, and "LinkTop" preinstalled PC as shown in
Fig. 2.
②To get the LinkTop up and running, click from "Start" at lower left of the PC screen and click "LinkTop
for Coriolis 3 (J)" from "Program".
③Click "Port setting (I) Ctrl + I" in "File (F)" at the top-level menu of screen.
④Set up the port.
Select the option labeled COM □(USB) and click "OK" ( □is the port number connected to the interface).
⑤On seeting the screen like the one shown in Fig. 7, click "Connect (C) F3" in "File (F)" at the top-level
menu of screen.
⑥At the message box as like the one in Fig. 8, click "OK" button and the connection process begins.

⑦As you click "OK" and start the connection process, a message box like the one in Fig. 9 appears.
A bar graph in the middle of message box indicates progress of connection process.
When the connection process begins, the transmitter connected is automatically identified and the
transmitter name appears in the title bar. A message indicating "ongoing communication" appears at
lower left of the screen with "IDLE" ⇔"RX WAIT" shown alternately.
⑧Upon completion of connections, a message box like the one in Fig. 10 appears. Click "OK" button.
⑨When connection is complete, of the menus at the top-level menu of screen, certain items that had
been dimmed and couldn't be chosen are usable now (menu characters turned black).
