Scope - HART Communications
The Fox Thermal model FT3 transmitter complies with HART Protocol Revision 7.1. A HART-enabled
FT3 includes "BH" in the model number. This section of the manual species all the device-specic
features and documents HART Protocol implementation details (e.g., the Engineering Unit Codes
supported). The functionality of this Field Device is described suciently to allow its proper
application in a process and its complete support in HART-capable Host Applications.
Purpose
This specication provides a complete description of this Field Device from a HART Communication
perspective. The specication is designed to be a technical reference for HART capable Host
Application Developers, System Integrators and knowledgeable End Users. It also provides
functional specications (e.g., commands and performance requirements) used during development,
maintenance and testing. This document assumes the reader is familiar with HART Protocol
requirements and terminology.
