BATTERY
Interface VCI10-BH needs batteries (provided by Vivace) to be powered and to power the device it
will be connected to.
In order to power the interface, change “Battery” switch to “On”. Check “Pwr” and
“Out” switches before connect the interface, according to table 5.1.
VCI10-BH allows user to power the HART
®
device, whatever it is powered by voltage or current
(transmitters or valve positioners, respectively). This option must not be enabled when device is
connected to HART/4-20mA bus (only in bench work or disconnected from bus). Check
“Pwr” switch:
when it is positioned to “On”, interface will provide power to device according to “Out” switch (“V” or “mA”).
When
“Pwr” switch is positioned to “Off”, device must be powered by the HART/4-20mA bus.
Before using the interface for the first time, execute a full charge. After charge is complete, the
interface will work for about 4 hours.
In order to charge batteries, user must connect
“USB to micro-USB cable”.
Connect the cable to
the VCI10-BH (micro-USB) and to the USB port of PC or charger supplied with the interface. Check if LED
“Charging”
on VCI10-BH blinks during charging process.
