Configuration Using HART
®
A HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer)
remote unit, such as a HART communicator, can be used to
provide a communication link to the PULSAR Model R86
transmitter. When connected to the control loop, the same
system measurement readings shown on the transmitter are
also shown on the communicator. The communicator can
also be used to configure the transmitter.
The HART communicator may need to be updated to
include the PULSAR Model R86 software (Device
Descriptions). Refer to your HART Communicator Manual
for update instructions.
One can also access configuration parameters using
PACT
ware
and the Model R86 DTM, or using the AMS
with EDDL.
2.7.1 Connections
A HART communicator can be operated from a remote
location by connecting it to a remote junction or by con-
necting it directly to the terminal block in the electronics
housing of the PULSAR Model R86 transmitter.
HART uses the Bell 202 frequency shift key technique of
high-frequency digital signals. It operates on the 4–20 mA
loop and requires 250
Ω
load resistance. A typical connec-
tion between a communicator and the PULSAR Model R86
transmitter is illustrated.
2.7.2 Display Menu
A typical communicator display is an 8-line by 21-character
LCD. When connected, the top line of each menu displays
the model (Model R86) and its tag number or address. For
detailed operating information, refer to the instruction
manual provided with the HART communicator.
The PULSAR Model R86 transmitter online menu trees are
shown in the following illustration. Open the menu by
pressing the alphanumeric key 4, Device Setup, to display
the second-level menu.
