Startup and Operation
Do not open the battery compartment in
potentially hazardous areas.
Insert the batteries, switch on mobiLink and wait 5 seconds
until the device has started. The operation of mobiLink
requires the use of management tools like FDT frame
applications or configuration tools on Windows PCs or
tablets or smartphones.
See the User Guide for safety requirements and details on
how to set up a USB and Bluetooth communication and how
to configure the fieldbus and HART connection.
During startup mobiLink tries to verify the operation mode
against the connected fieldbus. If fieldbus terminals are
connected to an operating 4-20 mA link this will
compromise the analog process value. Make sure to use the
correct connections and mode.
Safety
mobiLink must be operated by qualified personal only. To
ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, mobiLink
must be used as intended and in accordance with local laws
and regulations. See also the User Guide for safety

match the fieldbus installation. Do not use a USB
connection to your host device in hazardous areas.
