Figure 1-4. HMI Module with LCD

Note
If your flow computer does not include the LCD option (shown in Figure 1-4 ), you still have the
status LEDs and a single IR button for waking up the device (shown in Figure 1-5 ).
1.9 FBxWifi Communications
The flow computer has an optional Wi-Fi ® transceiver that enables you to connect via a laptop or
tablet from some small distance away. The distance supported varies depending on the
laptop/tablet type and environmental conditions, but is typically 70 to 100 feet from the front and
40 to 60 feet from the side and rear.
This capability allows an operator to potentially remain outside the hazardous location and still
communicate with the flow computer. The operator's laptop must have Wi-Fi capability, line-of-
sight access to the HMI module, and must be loaded with FBxConnect configuration software.
Once connected, the operator can view process values, edit configuration parameters, and collect
logs.
Note
The FBxWifi electronics reside inside the HMI module. The HMI module must be awake to use
FBxWifi communications You can wake it up manually by holding a finger against the front cover
glass over the Hold to Wake button (the left-most button) for typically from five to ten seconds.
