5.  HART COMMUNICATION 

 
The CH420L transmitters have a HART communication MODEM 
The details of the characteristics with respect to the HART communication are available in the 
appropriate Field Device Specification

4.  PUSH BUTTON INHIBIT AND “WRITE PROTECT”. 

 

The transmitter has a jumper situated behind the display on the left hand side which can 

be used to avoid changes in the configuration. When the jumper is removed, the push buttons are 
disabled and the HART write protect is activated, thus inhibiting any changes in the configuration.
