Initial startup
7.1 Initial startup of system
We recommend that the NivuLink Micro is operated first in the office before it is
permanently fitted on site. Create a data point during initial operation for operation
later on site on the Device-to-web server (see "User manual for device-to-web
server" – upon request) and specify a data-point configuration (see Sect.
the NivuLink Micro configuration
). Familiarize yourself with the NivuLink Micro
functions in a suitable test setting. Simulate the sensors with test I/Os to optimize the
NivuLink Micro configuration before placing the device in operation on site. This will
reduce the amount of work needed during the actual startup later on site.
7.2 Notes to the user
Before connecting and operating the NivuLink Micro the instructions below shall be
followed.
This user manual contains all information needed for programming and operating the
NivuLink Micro. The manual is intended for qualified personnel. Appropriate
knowledge in the areas of instrumentation and electronics are preconditions for
putting the NivuLink Micro into operation.
Read this instruction manual carefully in order to guarantee proper function of the
NivuLink Micro.

7.3 General principles
The NivuLink Micro shall not be put into operation before the installation has been
finished and checked. To exclude faulty programming this instruction manual must
be read before the initial start-up. Using the user manual, familiarize yourself with the
operation of the NivuLink Micro before you configure the device.
First connect the sensors / actuators (according to Sect.
); then, configure the NivuLink Micro with the NivuLink Micro
configuration tool. You will need to specify the following:
•
Sensors used and positioning (zero offset)
•
display units
•
span and function of analog and digital outputs
The user interface of the NivuLink Micro configuration tool was designed in a way
that even unfamiliar users are able to easily set up basic settings in dialog mode
which ensure reliable device operation.
For extensive programming, difficult hydraulic conditions, in case of absence of
expert staff or if a setup and error protocol is required, the programming should be
carried out by the manu-facturer or an expert company which is authorised by the
manufacturer.
