Application
The ConfigMate 4590 is a USB communications interface which is used along
with the 4501 Programmable Display to configure or document and backup/
restore configurations of selected PR electronics’ programmable devices, either
standalone in Adaptor Mode or with a PC in Docking Mode.
Docking Mode
o The 4590 can operate as a docking station for the 4501 allowing the
4501 to be connected to a PC through a USB interface. The PReset
software can be used to upload and download the configuration
parameters from a 4501 for backup/restore and documentation
purposes, on selected 3000, 4000 and 9000 series devices.
o Note for connection to a PC the USB-B to USB-A cable must be used
o In docking station mode the 4590 will be powered from the PC’s USB
power source; no batteries are required.
o The 4501 display will indicate USB line/communication with a very short
blink when uploading or downloading configurations from/to the 4501.

o To upload a configuration from a 3000/4000/9000 device to the
Programming Display 4501, you must manually go into the Memory
Menu of the 4501 and SAVE from the target device into the 4501.
o To download a configuration to a 3000/4000/9000 device from the
Programming Display 4501, you must manually go into the Memory
Menu of the 4501 and LOAD to the target device from the 4501.
For further details, please refer to the relevant manual for the target device.

Adaptor Mode
o The 4590 is a handheld device that can operate as an adapter between
the 4501 programming front and a selected modules in the 3000 series.
This allows for configuration and monitoring of process parameters of
the installed modules.
o Note for connection to a 3000 series product, the PR USB-B to a 2.5
mm jack cable must be used.
o By pressing the power button, the 4590 will power on, and show the
status of the attached 3000 module on the 4501.
o If the 3000 device is powered, the 4501 display will indicate the
Process Variable or can be manually set to go into program mode.
o If the 3000 device is not powered the 4501 display will be in
program mode only.
o Indication of battery level is displayed via the LEDs. This can be
activated by using the Power/Wake-up button. If while pressing the
Power/Wake-up button the LEDs are off, or only one LED is lit, the
batteries should be exchanged. To extend battery life the 4590 will
automatically detect if it is not in use, and will consequently shut itself
down to conserve battery power.
o Battery life in Adaptor Mode is approximately 1 year of daily use,
depending upon battery type.
