Getting Started - MSA FL500 UV/IR Operating Manual

Getting Started

3. Getting Started
HART communication with the FL500 can be enabled through HART handheld communicators and
PC-based systems. The following shows a typical setup.
After the device is installed and connected to a PC, host application, or handheld communicator, the master
typically starts communication to the device by sending HART Command 0. The device responds only if its
tag matches. The data in the reply to Command 11 is identical to that of Command 0, so the master can
make the Unique Identifier to be used with more commands.
NOTE: Use the handheld communicator to retrieve diagnostic information and change device settings as
necessary. Do NOT use the handheld communicator as a permanent part of a safety system.
