SECTION 1 ® The HART Communicator INTRODUCTION The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) Communicator (Figure 1-1) is a hand-held interface that provides a common communication link to all HART-compatible, microprocessor-based instruments. Section 1 discusses the HART Communicator Connections, Liquid Crystal Display, Keypad, Offline and Online menu, Battery Pack, Memory Module, data pack 100, Maintenance, and Year 2000 Compatibility. It also includes short overviews on some of the Communi

HART COMMUNICATOR CONNECTIONS The HART Communicator can interface with a transmitter from the control room, the instrument site, or any wiring termination point in the loop through the rear connection panel (Figure 1-2). To interface, connect the HART Communicator with the appropriate connectors in parallel with the instrument or load resistor. All connections are non-polarized. When connecting to a PC, you must use the PC Communication Adapter to connect to the Communicator’s serial port. See L

NOTE: For the HART Communicator to function properly, a minimum of 250 ohms resistance must be present in the loop. The HART Communicator does not measure loop current directly.

! WARNING Explosions can result in death or serious injury. Before connecting the HART Communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or nonincendive field wiring practices. For intrinsically safe CSA and FM wiring connections, see Appendix C. Figure 1-5 shows how to connect the optional 250 ohm load resistor. NOTE: To temporarily install the optional 250 ohm Load Resistor: 1. Insert the load resistor into the le

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) The LCD is an 8-line by 21-character display that provides communication between you and the connected device. When you connect to a HART- compatible device, the top line of each Online menu displays the model name of the device and its tag. The bottom line of each menu is reserved for the dynamic labels for each software-defined function key, F1-F4 (found directly below the display). These dynamic labels display available functions. For example, the label HELP appea

ALPHANUMERIC AND SHIFT KEYS The 12 alphanumeric keys (Figure 1-6) perform two functions — the fast selection of menu options and data entry. Three shift keys enable use of the upper row of characters on each alphanumeric key. FIGURE 1-6. HART Communicator Alphanumeric and Shift Keys. Using the Fast Select Feature From within any menu, you can select available options in two ways: 1) you can use the up and down arrow keys and the select key to access available options, 2) you can use the fast sel

Using Shift Keys for Data Entry Some menus require data entry. Use the up and down arrow keys when available, or use the alphanumeric and shift keys to enter the alphanumeric information into the HART Communicator. If you press only the alphanumeric key within an edit menu, only the bold character in the center of the key will display. These large characters include the numbers zero through nine, the decimal point (.), and the dash symbol (-). To enter the other characters on the keys, first pre

Reviewing Installed Devices The HART Communicator Memory Module contains device descriptions for specific HART-compatible devices. These descriptions enable the Communicator to recognize particular devices. The device types can be found in the Offline menu under New Configurations. If you cannot find a specific HART-compatible device on your Communicator, the device revision you are looking for is not programmed into the Memory Module. In this instance, you are limited to what is available using
