HART field devices are of two types:

those that draw power from the 4–20 mA loop (2 wire transmitters)

those that require an external power supply (4 wire transmitters)

The HT8/16 Terminal Blocks support both types, and they can be mixed on
the same Terminal Block. Each channel on the Terminal Block has a
jumper block associated with it, JPn. The ‘n’ is the number of the channel
(1 to 8 or 1 to 16). This jumper block indicates the type of HART
transmitter connected to the channel in question.
