Using ViewRTU to Troubleshoot the 2920 FTT

For diagnostics and troubleshooting of the 2920 FTT, a laptop computer running the ViewRTU 
software can be connected to the RS-232 port. The user can then use ViewRTU to run 
diagnostics or perform other troubleshooting procedures on the transmitter.

Warning!

Obtain a hot permit before removing the transmitter cover with power 

applied. 

Note

For more detailed information regarding the ViewRTU program, refer to any Varec 

RTU Installation and Operation manual.

1. Remove the 2920 FTT cover.

2. Connect the communications port of a laptop computer running ViewRTU software to the 

RS-232 connector (J6) on the communications circuit board using a crossover (Null 
MODEM) cable. The following figure shows the connector.

3. Start the ViewRTU application. 

You are prompted to select a firmware 
version file. Select the file that 
matches the communications proto-
col used by the 2920 FTT, and then 
click OK.

4. The main screen appears, as shown in 

the following figure.
