Quick Start Guide
Load limitations
For HART communication, a minimum load resistance of 250 is required.
For maximum load resistance, see Figure 4.
Figure 4. Maximum Loop Resistance
Intrinsically safe installations
Non-hazardous and Non-sparking/energy limited installations
Explosion-proof/flameproof (Ex d) installations
Note
For the Ex d case, the diagram is only valid if the HART load resistance is at the + side and if the
- side is grounded, otherwise the load resistance value is limited to 435 .
