HART 
Transparency 

The meter does not interfere with existing 
HART communications; it displays the 
4-20 mA primary variable and it allows the 
HART communications to pass through 
without interruption. 
The meter is not affected if a HART 
communicator is connected to the loop. 
The meter does not display secondary 
HART variables.
