The H COMM Module enables communication between the 9900 and
a HART
®
-enabled device. The HART (
H
ighway
A
ddressable
R

analog signal.
NOTE:
With H COMM Module installed, a minimum of 24 V is required for
loop-powered systems.

Installation
If the 9900 Base Unit will be mounted in a panel, plug-in modules may be installed either before or after the base unit is mounted.
If the 9900 Base Unit will be mounted using the accessory wall mount kit (3-9900.392), install plug-in modules
fi
rst.
If the Direct Conductivity/Resistivity Module or the 4 to 20 mA Output Module will be included in your unit, install the HCOMM
module
fi
rst, then install the other module over the H COMM module
To install the H COMM module, carefully align the module pins into its plug (see illustration) and push the module straight in until the
tabs on the bottom edge snap into place.
To uninstall, squeeze tabs, grasp the module and pull straight out.
