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.
Fieldbus users said they wanted

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.

375 Field Communicator
As new HART and Foundation
fieldbus DD’s become available,
download them from the Internet
and upgrade your 375 Field
Communicator.
In addition, as functional
enhancements to the 375
HART and Foundation fieldbus
applications become available,
download software updates from
the Internet and upgrade your
375 Field Communicator. No
longer is it necessary to send
your communicator to a service
center to have new DD’s or
software updates added.
No longer is it necessary to
be without your communicator
while you wait for upgrades.
Easy Upgrade lets you update
your own 375 Field Communicator.
On your site, within your control,
when it’s convenient for you.
■ User upgradeable
New HART and Foundation fieldbus
devices, as well as functional
updates to existing devices are
introduced continually by device
vendors. Keeping up-to-date with
the required Device Description
drivers for all the devices in your
plant can be a real challenge. Now,
with the Easy Upgrade option,
keeping your communicator
updated with the most current
Device Descriptions (DD’s) is easy.

Easy Upgrade allows communication between the 375 Field Communicator and a PC using IrDA.
The IrDA port enables transfer of configuration data between the 375 and AMS Device Manager
as well as upgrading of new Device Descriptions and functionality.

375 Field Communicator
As for reliable, when was the last
time you had to send your 275
HART Communicator in for repair?
That’s exactly the kind of reliability
we’ve built into the 375. The 375
Field Communicator is designed,
manufactured and tested to
specifications that are even
more demanding. The 375
Field Communicator is designed
to go wherever you have to go
to get the job done.
Even the battery pack is approved
for installation in hazardous areas.
The 375 Field Communicator is
designed for use in areas where
laptops shouldn’t go.
■ Rugged and Reliable.
It’s called ‘Field Communicator’ for
a reason. Some tasks just have to
be performed at the device. The
375 Field Communicator is designed
for tough use in your plant or mill.
Its large keys and physical
navigation buttons allow for one-
handed operation, even with your
work gloves on. The rugged display
is designed to take the knocks and
shocks from normal use in the plant.
■ Intrinsically Safe.
The 375 Field Communicator meets
the Intrinsic Safety requirements
of the listed regulatory agencies
and standards. All of the available
Hazardous Locations approvals
are provided in a single model
option (see Ordering Information).
