Enable the LCD

 
  

When you enable the LCD, the CSI 9420 displays information about its network state and its measurements. This is helpful for configuration, installation, and commissioning. The LCD provides a visual indication on the status of the device and shows its current measurements.

Transmitters ordered with the LCD are shipped with the display installed but with the LCD disabled/turned off. You need to enable the LCD using a Field Communicator or using AMS Device Manager.

Enable the LCD using a 375 or 475 Field Communicator

  1. Use the lead set to connect the Field Communicator to the CSI 9420 terminal block.
  2. Turn on the Field Communicator.
  3. Select Configure > Manual Setup > General Settings > LCD Mode > Periodic Display.

    Options available for LCD configuration include:

    • Not installed – Use this setting if the LCD is not installed.
    • Periodic Display – Use this setting to show only relevant data. This setting does not extend the wake cycle.
    • Troubleshooting Display – Use this setting when troubleshooting the transmitter.
    • Off – Use this setting to disable the LCD.

Enable the LCD using AMS Device Manager

  1. Launch AMS Device Manager and locate the network where the CSI 9420 is connected.
  2. Right-click the CSI 9420 device and select Configure > Manual Setup.
  3. Click the General Settings tab and from the LCD Mode drop-down menu, select Periodic Display.
    Options available for LCD configuration include:
    • Not installed – Use this setting if the LCD is not installed.
    • Periodic Display – Use this setting to show only relevant data. This setting does not extend the wake cycle.
    • Troubleshooting Display – Use this setting when troubleshooting the transmitter.
    • Off – Use this setting to disable the LCD.
Note: When operating the CSI 9420 with the Smart Power Module, disable the LCD in the transmitter configuration after installation to maximize power module life. While the LCD module itself consumes very little power, having it activated will alter the operating cycle of the transmitter in such a way that can impact the power module life by up to 15–20%.
