Quick Start Guide
The following steps will allow you to quickly begin using your HART Communicator (HARTCOM-W2). This quick start
guide is for experienced HART users, full instructions are provided later in this manual for non-experienced users.
Step 1: Turn on the HART Communicator
Press and hold for 4 seconds the power button (top left corner of the tablet). The tablet will boot up Windows.
Step 2: For wired HART devices (skip this step for HART-IP and
Wireless
HART devices)
a)
Connect the Bluetooth HART Modem to the HART device/network
For communication with wired (4-20mA based) HART devices
you must have a suitable load resistance, or a 250Ω
Shunt/Loop resistor (supplied) must be placed in series with the device. Using the clips of the HART Modem connect
either: across the loop load resistor (A
–
B), or across the HART transmitter terminals (C
–
D). See the relevant Figure
1a, 1b or 1c below.
