Model 268 Communicator
CONNECTIONS
AND HARDWARE
The Model 268 can communicate with a transmitter from the control
room, the transmitter site, or any other wiring termination point in the
loop. To communicate, it must be connected in parallel with the
transmitter; the connections are non-polarized.
NOTES
The HART Communicator needs a minimum of 250 ohms resistance in
the loop to function properly. The HART Communicator does not
measure loop current directly.
The Model 268 cannot measure loop current directly.

A HART-based communicator may be
connected at any termination point in the
signal loop. Signal loop must have 250
ohms minimum load for communications.
