2. To connect to a point in the HART multidrop network, attach the leads from the field communicator to
any point on the network.
3. Turn on the field communicator and wait until the main menu is displayed.
4. If you are connecting across a multidrop network:
• Set the field communicator to poll. The device returns all valid addresses.
• Enter the HART address of the transmitter. The default HART address is 0. However, in a multidrop
network, the HART address has probably been set to a different, unique value.
Postrequisites

troubleshooting tasks are performed from the Online menu.

A field communicator requires a minimum of 1 Vdc across the connection leads to communicate. If necessary,
increase the resistance at the connection point until 1 Vdc is achieved.
