HART COmmUNICATION
The UD20 is a HART primary master and communicates

with the GT3000, which is a HART slave device.

Upon power-up, the UD20 requests the gas type,

measurement range, and unit of measure from the

GT3000. During normal operation, the UD20 continually

polls the GT3000 for status information. Because the

UD20 is a primary master, a secondary master can also

be used to communicate with the GT3000 at the same

time. If an Asset Management System (AMS) is used,

it should be configured as a secondary master to avoid

communication conflicts with the UD20.

mAgNETIC SwITCHES
Four internal magnetic switches provide a non-intrusive

user interface that allows adjustment of configuration

parameters and calibration in the field without the use

of a HART handheld device.

The switches are labeled as follows:

DEvICE ENClOSURE
The housing for the UD20 consists of a multi-port

aluminum or stainless steel explosion-proof junction

box with a clear viewing window. Available conduit

entry sizes include 3/4 inch NPT and M25.

DEvICE DISplAy
The UD20 is provided with a 160 x 100 dot matrix LCD

display. See Figure 1.

During normal operation, the UD20’s LCD display

indicates the gas type and units measured.

The UD20 communicates with the sensor and allows

easy access to the following information:
• Sensor (GTS) information/fault/status
• Transmitter (GTX) information/fault/status

Refer to Appendix A for details regarding the HART

menu structure.

lOggINg
The UD20 has no logging capability of its own, but

reads the logs that are stored in the GT3000 and

displays them on the LCD screen. If an AMS is used,

it communicates directly with the GT3000 and not with

the UD20.

Operating and history logs that are stored in the GT3000

and displayed by the UD20 include:
• Calibration
• Sensor running hours
• Sensor temperature
• Events

OUTpUT TEST
The UD20 can start and stop a 4-20 mA Loop Test for

checking correct operation of system output devices.

REAl TImE ClOCk
The Real Time Clock resides in the GT3000 and can be

set by the UD20, HART handheld, or AMS. The UD20

reads and displays the current time/date from the GT3000.
