1 Lockout: Indicates Enable / Disable status of Master Lockout feature. 2 PV Prompt: In addition to the primary variable, multivariable HART devices have secondary, tertiary, and sometimes more variables. When PV Prompt on the Lockout screen is “Disabled” and a Save command is issued by the 4150 / 4150X, the handheld saves only the primary variable. When PV Prompt is “Enabled” and a Save command is issued, the handheld saves the HART parameter information for all variables present.
Backlight (off timer) To conserve battery life, the 4150 / 4150X allows the user to set the backlight to shut off after a certain period of keypad inactivity. To change the backlight off timer on the unit, scroll Down to Backlight and press Chng repeatedly until the desired value is displayed. The shutoff timer can be disabled or set to shut off after time periods of from 1 minute up to 30 minutes.
Auto polling directs the 4150 / 4150X to always poll for HART device address 0 (zero) first. When found, communications begin automatically. If address 0 is not found, the unit automatically asks for direction; select Multi soft key to start a multi-drop poll from address 1 – 15 or select Retry soft key to try to find address 0 again (for more details see the HART Communications section) Digital polling directs the 4150 / 4150X to always poll for HART device addresses 0 – 15.
Battery Installation & Removal – all models The 4150 / 4150X monitors battery condition and displays a “REPLACE BATTERY” notice when the batteries get low. The unit will function for approximately one (1) hour after the notice is posted on the display. To install batteries, remove the 4150 / 4150X from the soft carrying case (if used) and remove the hand strap retaining screw from rear of unit using a flat screw driver or coin. Remove protective boot and turn the unit face down on a work surface.
and DOFs” and “Documenting HART Configurations with Meriam DMS Software” sections of this manual for more information on communications. Note: For 4150X Intrinsically Safe units, the Communication / AC Adapter Dongle must be used only in a safe area. See the “Hazardous Area Use” section of this manual and the Intrinsic Safety Control Drawing in the Appendix of this manual for more information. WARNING: Serious injury or death may result from explosions.
HAZARDOUS AREA USE Intrinsically Safe Operation The 4150X HART Communicator includes ATEX certification for Intrinsically Safe operation. Refer to the Intrinsic Safety Control Drawing in the Appendix of this manual for more information. The following table identifies model numbers and areas of acceptable use.
HART® Communications with the 4150 / 4150X Overview The 4150 / 4150X HART communicator provides device specific HART communication functions that allow the user to poll, configure and maintain supported HART field devices. The 4150 / 4150X uses Universal, Common Practice and Device Specific commands to facilitate communication with a HART field device.
When connecting the 4150 / 4150X to a loop with a resistive load greater than 250 Ωs, the HART jacks may be connected across the loop + and – or to the HART device communication terminals. Refer to the following diagram for connecting across the loop + and -.
When no device connection is detected the 4150 / 4150X enters the Main Navigation Screen and the message Device 0: Not Found is displayed. Upon selecting the “1 Online Setup” option, the unit checks again for Device address 0 and if not found displays the Multidrop / Retry 0 screen.
Manual Launch of Device 0 Poll When the message Device 0: *On-line* is displayed on the Main Navigation Screen, selecting Online Setup will launch HART communication with the device. The message indicates that a HART device with address 0 has been detected at the HART connection and the unit is standing by to initiate communications.
The editing function allows review of all HART parameters in a configuration and modification of editable parameters. The edit function can be locked out if desired (see the Lockout section of this manual for more information). To view detailed information of a stored configuration, move the cursor to the desired tag number and press the Select soft key.
Online Setup Mode Online Setup is the normal HART communication mode for the 4150 / 4150X. This mode enables communication with HART field devices at the Universal, Common Practice and Device Specific Command levels for full device setup and functionality. Menus displayed for the connected device follow the HART device manufacturer’s menu structure for the connected device. Consult the device manual for menu structure details.
Communications Trouble Shooting If an operating HART device is connected to the unit but the “Device 0: Not Found” notification is received, a Multidrop Poll may be executed to determine if the connected device has a non-zero address. Select Online Setup from the Main Navigation Screen and then select the Multi soft key to initiate the Multidrop poll. If the “No Devices Found” message is received, then the loop connections to the 4150 / 4150X should be carefully checked.
DOF Memory Maintenance DOF flash memory will become fragmented after many DOF download sessions to add new or update existing DOFs. Fragmentation reduces the total number of DOFs that can be saved in memory. 560 DOFs is the nominal capacity of the flash memory. When fragmentation becomes extreme, the 4150 / 4150X will not accept additional DOF downloads. Periodic DOF memory maintenance will be needed to optimize DOF memory.
Documenting HART Configurations with Meriam DMS Software The documentation functions of the 4150 / 4150X provide additional functionality for use with the Meriam Device Management System (DMS) software. DMS is a database product for complete device management services including calibration documentation with the Meriam MFT 4000 Series of multifunction calibrators and HART configuration documentation with the 4150 / 4150X. Complete device histories are maintained in the database.
In general, the Generic HART mode operates similarly to its device specific DOF counterpart (see HART Communication section of this manual for more details). However, the 4150 / 4150X does not display Device Specific related communication menus or options when in the Generic communication mode. For example, the Zero and Sensor trim menu options (normally executed by Device Specific commands) are not displayed for pressure transmitters without DOF support.
Using DPC Manager Utility to Update The DPC Manager Utility should be installed on the host PC from the User’s Manual CD (included with shipment) or from the DOF Download Site where it can be found at the bottom of the File Download Area page.
