Figure 17-3: Wiring and power to test terminals
A. Voltmeter
B. 250–600 Ω resistance
C. External power supply
D. External power supply, if required
E. Transmitter with end-cap removed
c) Using a voltmeter, check the voltage drop across the resistor.
For a 250 Ω resistor, 4–20 mA = 1–5 VDC. If the voltage drop is less than 1 VDC, add resistance
to achieve a voltage drop within the required range.
d) Connect a Field Communicator directly across the resistor and attempt to communicate (poll).
If this test fails, the transmitter may need service. Contact customer service.
17.25 Locate a device using the HART 7 Squawk feature
The Squawk feature causes the device to show a specific pattern on its display. You can use this to locate or
identify a device.
Restriction
The Squawk feature is available only with HART 7 connections from the Field Communicator. It is not available
with ProLink III.
Procedure
1. Choose Service Tools > Maintenance > Routine Maintenance.
2. Choose Locate Device.
An 0-0-0-0 pattern is shown on the display.
To return to the normal display, activate any button on the device display, or wait 60 seconds.
