475 Field Communicator Overview
475 FIELD COMMUNICATOR OVERVIEW
The portable 475 Field Communicator includes a color LCD touch screen, a Lithium
Ion battery (Power Module), a SH3 processor, memory components, and integral
communication and measurement circuitry.
When using the 475 Field Communicator to communicate with devices, follow all
standards and procedures applicable to the location. Failure to comply may result in
equipment damage and/or personal injury. Understand and comply with the sections in
this manual.
Working in a Hazardous Area
An Intrinsically Safe (IS-approved) 475 Field Communicator can be used in Zone 0
(FM and CSA only), Zone 1, or Zone 2, for Group IIC, and Class I, Division 1 and
Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D locations.
An IS-approved 475 Field Communicator may be connected to loops or segments that
are attached to equipment located in Zone 0, Zone 1, Zone 2, for Group IIC; Zone 20,
Zone 21, Zone 22, and Class I, Division 1 and Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D
locations.
IS-approved 475 Field Communicators are ordered with the KL option and have an
additional label on the back of the communicator that lists the approvals.
CAUTION
You can install or remove the Li-Ion battery in a hazardous area environment. You
cannot charge the battery in this environment because the power supply/charger
(00375-0003-0005) is not IS-approved.
Using the Touch Screen and Keypad
The touch screen and keypad let you select menu items and enter text. T ap the screen
with the provided stylus or use the up and down arrow keys on the keypad to select a
menu item. See Figure 1 for the location of the stylus. Double-tap the selected item on
the screen or press the right arrow key on the keypad to open a menu item.
CAUTION
Contact the touch screen using blunt items only, preferably the stylus included with the
475 Field Communicator. Sharp instruments, such as screwdrivers, can damage the
touch screen and void the warranty. Repairing the touch screen requires replacement
of the entire display assembly, which is possible only at an authorized service center.
