375 Field Communicator.

Introduction

The 375 Field Communicator is

the new standard in handheld

communicators. Built on over

ten years of experience with the

275 HART Communicator, user

requirements drove the features of

this next generation communicator.

HART users worldwide told us

how to make a better communicator.

Product Description

Building on the experience with the

proven 275 HART Communicator,

the 375 Field Communicator

includes enhancements designed

to simplify your work in the field.

We designed the 375 Field

Communicator user interface

around the 275, leveraging the

navigation features users told us

they liked. Then we added powerful

features including a much larger

touch screen, HART Revision 6

support, and the ability to upgrade

your 375 Field Communicator

onsite using the Internet.

■ See the difference.

The 375 Field Communicator runs

on Windows CE, a robust, real-time,

operating system. The display is

70% larger than that of the 275

HART Communicator and uses

transflective technology, making it

easy to read in both bright sunlight

and in normal lighting. To make sure

we covered all conditions, we added

a multi-level backlight, allowing the

display to be viewed in those areas

of your plant with dim light. The

touch sensitive display and large

physical navigation buttons provide

for efficient use both on the bench

and in the field.

We made sure that the weight was

evenly distributed for comfortable

one-handed operation in the field.

■ It is loaded!

The 375 Field Communicator has

a processor that is 20 times faster

than the 275. It features 32MB of

application memory, 64 times more

than the 275 HART Communicator.

The Configuration Expansion

Module holds hundreds of device

configurations, and it is externally

accessible. Enhancements in the

battery pack allow a full recharge

in 2 hours, 8 times faster than the

275 HART Communicator.

■ Easy Upgrade keeps your

communicator current.

If that’s not enough to get

your attention, the 375 Field

Communicator is also user

upgradeable via the Internet.

This means it is no longer

necessary to send your

communicator anywhere to

have new device drivers added.

A fold-away stand provides the correct viewing angle on the bench,
and flips up to a locked position for secure hanging in the plant.

375 Field Communicator

With over 600 different HART and

Foundation fieldbus devices from

more than 100 different vendors,

having a single field communicator

that works with everything is a big

help. So, grab the 375 Field

Communicator and go!

Universal – HART and

Foundation fieldbus

The 375 Field Communicator is

designed to support all HART

and Foundation fieldbus devices.

If you are familiar with the 275

HART Communicator, used in

thousands of plants worldwide

for more than ten years, you will

appreciate universal HART

support in a single intrinsically

safe handheld communicator.

The 375 Field Communicator

can also be used to configure all

the Foundation fieldbus devices

in your plant. Use it to perform

diagnostics for effective start-up

and troubleshooting of Foundation

fieldbus segments. Create a quality

segment by diagnosing the network

DC voltage and average noise.

Detect power supply problems

by monitoring low frequency noise

on a segment. Locate incorrect

terminations and faulty devices by

diagnosing the communications

signal level. No longer do you need

to drag a laptop computer out into

the plant to communicate with your

Foundation fieldbus devices.

Designed not only for use on the bench, the 375 Field Communicator
enables you to do those tasks that just have to be done in the field.
