1. Physical Setup
1. Buy a kit similar to the one shown in Figure 1. This kit contains a HART
(with wall power supply and loop test lead wires) and either a USB connector or a serial
port connector for your laptop. The setup shown in Figure 1 is a GE product and can be
purchased at:

2. Download and install software to use HART
or RS232 software (Universal VIATOR Installer v3.1.9 with Drivers for 32 bit Windows XP/
Vista/7/8) available at software https://www.mactekcorp.com/download.php. When
installed this software should the serial or USB port into which it is plugged. If it does not,
the VIATOR installation includes a utility called USB View for viewing USB connections. For
a serial connection, you can check using Windows Device Manager.
3. Prepare the HART
a. Plugging the HART
calibrator as per its manual, ensuring the mode is correct to supply a 4 - 20 mA.
b. Plugging the USB plug or serial connector into the appropriate connector on the
laptop/PC. Opening the cover on the SVi1000 and connecting the other end of the
USB/Serial connector to the 4 - 20 mA connections.
c.
Connecting the loop calibrator cables to the 4 - 20 mA connections. Maintain polarity
+ and -, respectively.
4. Mount the SVi1000 on the actuator per instructions in the SVi1000 Quick Start Guide
(GEA19361) or Instruction Manual (GEA19527). These manuals are available for download
at http://www.ge-mcs.com/en/download.html.
