3.4.2
Connecting to the HART clips or to a HART multidrop network
Removing the transmitter housing cover in a hazardous area can cause an
explosion.
Because the transmitter housing cover must be removed to connect to the HART
clips, the HART clips should be used only for temporary connections, for example,
for configuration or troubleshooting purposes.
When the transmitter is in an explosive atmosphere, use a different method to
connect to your transmitter.
Connecting a HART device to the transmitter's mA output terminals or HART
clips could cause transmitter output error.
If the mA output is being used for continuous control, connecting a HART interface
to the output loop could cause the transmitter's 4–20 mA output to change, which
would affect final control devices.
Set control devices for manual operation before connecting a HART interface to the
transmitter's mA output loop.
To connect to the HART clips or to a HART multidrop network:
1. Attach the HART interface to the serial or USB port of your PC.
2. To connect to a HART multidrop network, connect the HART interface leads to any point on
the network (see Figure 3-2).
