Connecting to a HART
device
The 475 Field Communicator can communicate with a device from the
control room, on the bench, or any wiring termination point in the loop.
Connect the 475 Field Communicator with the appropriate connectors
in parallel with the device or load resistor. The HART connectors are
not polarity sensitive.
A minimum of 250 ohms resistance must be present in the HART loop
for
the 475 Field Communicator to function properly. For information
about Intrinsically Safe connections, see Appendix B.
HART communication terminals
Three terminals for the lead set are on the top of the 475 Field
Communicato
r. Each red terminal is a positive connection for its
protocol. The black terminal is a common terminal shared by both
protocols. An access door ensures only one pair of terminals is
exposed at any one time; see Figure 3-2. Several markings indicate
which pair of terminals is for which protocol.

NOTE
The lead set must be used to communicate with a wired or wireless
device. The 475 Field Communicator cannot communicate wirelessly
with devices.
