9.2.1 Smart Meter Verification requirements
To use Smart Meter Verification, the transmitter must be paired with an enhanced core
processor, and the Smart Meter Verification option must be ordered for the transmitter.
See Table 9-1 for the minimum version of the transmitter, enhanced core processor, and
communication tool needed to support Smart Meter Verification. (If you are going to
perform Smart Meter Verification using the display, only the transmitter and enhanced
core processor versions apply.)
Minimum version to support Smart Meter VerificationTable 9-1:
Item Minimum version
Transmitter 6.0
Enhanced core processor 3.6
ProLink II 2.9
ProLink III 1.0
Field Communicator HART device description: device rev 6, DD rev 2
If your devices or tools do not meet the minimum version requirements for Smart Meter
Verification, you still may have access to an older version of meter verification if the option
was ordered for your transmitter. See Table 9-2 for a description of the major differences
between the older meter verification and the newer Smart Meter Verification.

ruption
Suspended during the test (3 mi-

mitter

9.2.2 Smart Meter Verification test preparation
Although it is not necessary to match factory conditions or change the transmitter's
configuration during a Smart Meter Verification test, the test will run more smoothly when
conditions are stable.
