HART Communications Introduction The Panametrics GF868, XGM868, XGS868 and XMT868 ultrasonic flowmeters may be modified to permit two-way communication with a HART communication device. This requires the installation of a HART option card in the flowmeter. The option card generates a 4-20 mA analog output signal that can be read by the HART device. Proceed to the appropriate section for detailed instructions on installing and using the HART option card.

    Chapter 8. HART Communications Installing the HART Option Card (cont.)stalling the HART Option Card (cont.) For a GF868 flowmeter, the option card connector is mounted on the card, and the HART device leads should go to pins 1 and 2 of this connector. As for other option cards installed in the same meter as the HART option card, the HART device will not recognize any option card installed in Slots 3-5 and it will only recognize option cards installed in Slots 1-2 if they are Analog Input, Analog Output, or RTD option cards.
