Using a MobileView Terminal With Multiple IP20 Junction Boxes
7. Disconnect the MobileView connection cable from junction box in Area 1.
8. Exit the hazardous area and close the safety gate.
9. Press the blue reset push button to restore Area 1.
Depending on the procedure specific for each machine, normal condition activities for Area 1 should now be restored.
IMPORTANT
When the MobileView terminal is not plugged into a junction box, the MobileView terminal must be stored where it is not
visible to operators.
Application 2: All Junction Boxes Are in a Non-hazardous Area
When a junction box is outside the non-hazardous area, operation in this area is comparable to a fixed operator terminal.
Therefore, the enabling switch on the MobileView terminal is not used. The bypass operation is managed by a coded key
(two-position key lock switch 800FM-KM21).
Application 2 Prerequisites
Before you attempt to connect the MobileView terminal, verify that the following conditions are present in Area 3.
The machine is in production, and operating in standard mode with all safety gates closed
The MobileView terminal is disconnected
The bypass switch is set to BYPASS in all areas
ATTENTION: The enabling switch on the MobileView terminal is not used in application example 2.
Connect and Use the MobileView Terminal
To connect and use the MobileView terminal in non-hazardous Area 3, perform the following steps.
1. Connect the MobileView terminal via its connection cable into the junction box in Area 3.
2. On the MobileView terminal desktop, tap to launch the FactoryTalk View ME application.
It can take from 20 seconds to 2 minutes for the application to load Area 3 parameters.
3. In the FactoryTalk View faceplate for Area 3, set the bypass switch to RUN.

Figure 5 on page 12
4. Wait for a message on the MobileView terminal display that confirms the operation has completed.
Safety outputs continue to be energized.
