Atec Fisher-Rosemount-HART-275 - Manual (Page 3)

Product Information
User Interface
A keypad, liquid crystal display (LCD), and software
menu structure make up the HART Communicator
user interface. Just press a few buttons to become
familiar with the Action Keys and menu structure,
and you begin to access all of the functions of
your HART devices.
Function Keys
Use the four function keys, marked F1 through F4,
located below the LCD to perform software functions as
indicated by the dynamic labels. Different labels appear
over the four function keys as you move among the
various menus. For example, the label
appears above the F2 key when device information can be
saved, and the label
appears above the F1 key
when access to online help is available. See Figure 3.
Online Menu
When connected to a HART compatible device, simply
press the On Key to display the online menu. This menu
normally contains the most critical information about the
connected device and your measurement, including:
● User-defined Tag
● Actual Input (process variable)
● Actual Analog Output
● Lower Range Value (LRV)
● Upper Range Value (URV)
Action Keys
Six Action Keys promote easy navigation
through the menu structure. See Figure 4.
Hot Key
Customize the Hot Key to quickly access a menu of your
most frequently performed online tasks. The Hot Key
Menu is a user-definable menu containing one permanent
option, Range Values. Range Values provides quick access
to rerange capability. Up to 19 of your frequently
performed tasks can also be added to this menu.
These tasks, stored even when the communicator is
off, are always readily available by simply
pressing the Hot Key.
LCD
The LCD is an eight-line by twenty-one character
display that provides a window to all the functions of
a HART compatible device. When connected to a
HART device, the top line of each menu displays the
model name of the device and its tag. The bottom line
of each menu is reserved for a dynamic label for
each function key, F1 through F4. See Figure 3.
