Commissioning and setting up
GF Piping Systems Ltd. delivers type 2298 with factory settings. Application-specific programming is performed by the operator.
The measurement starts within 10 seconds of switching on.
CAUTION!
Wrong settings lead to incorrect measurement results!
The instrument starts with a current consumption of 3.5 mA after switching on. In this case, the instrument measures using the
factory default settings. The factory default settings are suitable for checking functionality and simple measurement tasks but the
device's full potential can only be used with the correct programming tailored to the requirements of the measured process.
► The instrument must be set according to the requirements of the respective application.

Access methods
The HART interface of the type 2298 lets the user to access and program all device parameters. The parameter set can be accessed
in the following ways:
EView2 software
•
These methods differ in many aspects. This programming guide only discusses the method involving EView2. For detailed informa-
tion, refer to the descriptions of the particular access methods.
Advanced parameters
Some rarely used parameters cannot be set directly from the graphical interface. Instead, they can be changed referring to the pa-
rameter number via EView2 at the following path.
