Step 1: Software installation
1. Install the 148 PC Programmer software.
Place the 148 PC Programmer CD_ROM into the drive
Run setup.exe from Windows NT, 2000, or XP
2. When first using the 148 PC software, configure the appropriate COM ports by
selecting “Port Settings” from the “Communicate” menu.
3. Install MACTek Modem drivers completely before beginning bench
configuration on the Rosemount 148 system.
Note:
The software defaults to the first available COM port.
Step 2: Configure
The Rosemount 148 must be configured for certain basic variables to operate. In
many cases, all of these variables are pre-configured at the factory. Configuration
may be required if the transmitter is not configured or if the configuration
variables need revision. This can be done in two ways: by ordering
factory-configuration by Emerson, or by using the Rosemount 148 PC
Programming interface in a bench configuration setting.
The Rosemount 148 PC Programming Kit includes configuration software and a
communication modem. The Rosemount 148 device will need an external power
supply of 12-42.4 Vdc for configuration.
1. Hook up the transmitter and a load resistor (250- 1100 ohms) wired in series
with the power supply.
2. Attach the Modem in parallel with the load resistor and connect it to the PC.
Please see Table 1 for Spares Kit and re-order numbers. For more information,
refer to the Rosemount 148 Reference Manual (Document No.
00809-0100-4148).

Verify transmitter configuration
If the transmitter has been connected to a sensor (either a test or installation
mounting hardware), the configuration can be checked using the Information tab
on the 148 PC Programmer interface. Click Refresh to update the status and
confirm that the transmitter has been configured correctly. If there are any
problems, refer to the Reference Manual for troubleshooting suggestions.
