If your HART Cell Phone lost the HPC401 software, and you have Hotsynced with your PC, Hotsync to restore the HPC Suite software. If you have never Hotsynced your Palm, use the included Product CD to reinstall by selecting the “MEZ100 Setup”.
What to do if HART HPC401Plus Palm battery is discharged?
If the Palm battery of your HART Cell Phone has been discharged past the normal range, recharge the Palm battery.
What to do if more than one HART Cell Phone device is using the same address?
If more than one HART Cell Phone device is using the same address, poll for the device by TAG name rather than address. Alternatively, disconnect one device, change the connected device address, and then reconnect the first device.
What to do if HART HPC401Plus field device is not powered?
If the field device of your HART Cell Phone is not powered, or the polarity is reversed, or there is insufficient loop current and voltage at the field device terminal, verify the power supply and field device.
How to fix excessive noise or ripple in HART Cell Phone signal?
To address excessive noise or ripple or a low-level signal in your HART Cell Phone, place the HPC401 Interface leads across the resistor and check if communication is working. Also, verify that the field-wiring shield is grounded at one end only, typically at the power supply side.
How to increase loop resistance on HART HPC401Plus Cell Phone?
To increase loop resistance on your HART Cell Phone, add an additional 250-ohm resistor in series to the current loop.

The Smar HPC401Plus HART Field Communicator is a comprehensive and versatile solution for configuring and monitoring HART devices. It integrates a Palm handheld, the HPC401Plus HART interface hardware, and the HPC Suite of Palm applications into a single, portable, and powerful tool.
The HPC401Plus serves as a complete HART field communicator, enabling users to interact with HART devices for various tasks, including:
The system leverages the familiar Palm operating system, providing a user-friendly graphical interface that simplifies the configuration of even complex transmitters. The HPC401Plus is designed to be ready for use "out of the box," with the HPC Suite software pre-installed on the Palm handheld. Users only need to attach the HART interface, connect to the HART network, and launch the HPC401 application.
The HPC Suite comprises four distinct applications:
