Connection via Sensor Bus Port

In addition to the standard communication ports, where HART is the main protocol used, there is an
additional port available (Sensor Bus Port).
This port is mainly used for upgrading Firmware. To utilize this port you need a RS485 modem hooked up
on terminals 6 and 7 on the Intrinsically Safe side of the transmitter. The software used is the standard
Rosemount Radar Master. For more information about this Sensor Bus port, please see the online help in
the Radar Master software or contact your local Rosemount representative.
