Typical Options
The flowing sections describe several installation options for the VECTOR V1100. Contact the
factory if you need help in determining how best to connect the VECTOR V1100 for your
application.
VECTOR V1100 as a Standalone Wireless HART Router (Repeater)
In this installation option, the VECTOR V1100 is not attached to any field devices. It is strictly
used at key points in a wireless HART network to help with the wireless HART routing of
packets on behalf of other network connected devices. This is useful when it is identified in a
wireless HART network that additional wireless HART devices located at key points improve
the overall network robustness.
The VECTOR V1100 power is typically supplied by a DC power source. The VECTOR V1100 can
be powered by an external DC power source such as; DC power supply, battery or solar panel.
The DIRECT POWER specified input voltage range is 7 VDC to 32 VDC. For direct powered
operation, connect the DC power source positive terminal DIRECT POWER Black lead wire, and
the DC power source negative terminal to the VECTOR V1100's RETURN white leadwire.
VECTOR V1100 with a 4-20 mA Analog Only Non-HART Field Device
The VECTOR V1100 is connected in series with 4-20 mA analog output only field device which
does not support HART. The VECTOR V1100 is capable of monitoring and reporting the analog
loop current to the wireless HART network.
VECTOR V1100 with a HART Enabled Field Device
The VECTOR V1100 is connected in series with a HART field device; such as a 4-20mA HART
transmitter, which also controls the loop current. The VECTOR V1100 is capable of monitoring
and reporting the analog loop current to the wireless HART network and also communicates
wired-HART data with the connected wired-HART sub-device.
In loop powered mode, the VECTOR V1100 cannot control the loop

current. You must ensure that the loop current is limited to within
the operating specifications.
The VECTOR V1100 can be damaged if the direct power source is

greater than 32 VDC.
