KEY PAD OVERVIEW
The keypad has three basic key types: single
function keys, dual-function keys, and soft keys
with changing definitions.
Single function keys control a dedicated 4150 /
4150X function.
Dual function keys, through the use of the Alpha
Lock ( ) or Shift ( ) keys, toggle between
A
two separate functions as needed to facilitate data
entry.
Soft key functions change depending on the
operating mode. Soft key definitions are
displayed at the bottom of the LCD, just above
their respective gray soft keys.
The left hand thumb keys can be used to scroll
up, scroll down, and to select menu items.
On/Off
Pressing the ON/OFF key powers up or turns off the unit. As the unit powers up, an internal
diagnostic check is performed. Any abnormalities are posted on the display. The unit will briefly
display the model number and then check for a HART device with address of zero. If a device with
2
#
zero address is found, the unit immediately goes into online status and displays information about the
device. If no device is found, the Main navigation screen is displayed. To turn the 4150 / 4150X off,
press and hold the ON/OFF key for approximately .5 seconds. Unit will power down provided a
critical HART operation is not in process.
Quick Menu
The Quick Menu key initiates HART communications and then displays ten (10) HART menu
choices for the connected device. These menus are used to short cut the traditional HART menus to
enable the user to arrive quickly at desired functions. Typical Quick Menu options include: Main
Menu, Config Menu, Rerange, Basic Info, Construction Materials, Display, Sensors, Signal
Conditioning, Self Test. Quick Menu is disabled while critical HART operations are in process.
(Home)
The key sequence , returns the user to the initial or “home” HART menu for the connected
device. The Home function is disabled while critical HART operations are in process.
Document
This key provides rapid access to HART communication Save/Send Configs options, List/Edit
Configs, and Create Configs functions for all models. For Documenting operations this key also
provides documenting functions used with the Meriam Device Management System software. Access
to this key is disabled while critical HART communications are in process.
Display Contrast
This key allows the user to adjust the contrast of the LCD display for ambient lighting and user
preferences at any time and in any operating mode. Pressing and holding this key cycles through all
available contrast settings. After adjusting Display Contrast, wait at least five (5) seconds before
turning unit off to insure storage of new contrast setting. Ambient temperature compensation is
included.
Backlight
This key toggles the backlight feature between Off / Low intensity / High intensity to illuminate the
display for ambient light conditions. Battery life is impacted by use of the backlight feature; High
intensity is the most aggressive. An automatic shut-off timer is available by pressing the Cfg soft key
from the main menu.
Alphanumeric / Symbol Entry
B
2
The alphanumeric keys have the heaviest population on the keyboard and are the method of entering
data into the 4150 / 4150X. Each display type has a default alpha or numeric / symbol entry mode
based on the most likely used mode for the display’s function. Pressing the ALPHA LOCK ( )
key activates the other entry mode for alphanumeric keys. Pressing the SHIFT key ( ) converts the
L
next key stroke to the inactive entry mode and then automatically reverts back to the active mode. The
letter “A” in the display header line indicates the alpha input is active while a # sign in the display
header indicates the numeric / symbol input is active.
(Shift)
The key is used to activate the secondary functions of the Unit’s dual function keys for the next
keystroke only. When the Shift key is active, an up arrow
the left of the battery power (or AC wall plug) symbol is also used to activate the Page Up and
Page Down soft key functions while viewing lists of information (installed DOFs, stored configs,
etc…).

Alpha Lock
This key changes the keypads dual function keys from numeric/symbol entry mode to alpha
character entry mode and back. The active entry mode is indicated in the display header line next to
the power supply indicator on the upper right of the screen. The letter “A” in the display header line
indicates that alpha entry is active while a # sign in the display header indicates that numeric /
symbol entry is active.
Left / Right Arrow keys
These keys support cursor movement forward and backward for text / numeric editing needs. The
default edit mode is “overwrite.” For navigating functions, the left arrow emulates the Back soft key
and the right arrow emulates the Select soft key.
(Delete)
This editing key will delete the character located above the cursor in a text / numeric string.
(Insert)
….
….
The Insert text edit function is activated by pressing the , …. key sequence. Once activated, the
next alpha or numeric / symbol keystroke will be inserted into the open text field. The “overwrite”
default mode is restored upon completion of the insert operation.
Soft Keys
The four gray keys located immediately below the display are Soft Keys. The specific functions of
these keys change depending on the operating mode. Present definitions are displayed at the bottom
of the display. Whenever possible the two Soft Keys on left are used for navigation functions, the
third from the left for action functions, and the right most for back function.
The following are examples of Soft Key definitions and their uses:
Up – moves indicator arrow up one line in a menu list
Down – moves indicator arrow down one line in a menu list
Select – selects the indicated menu item
Cfg – provides access to configuration settings (Users, Applications, Lockouts, Clock / Timers,
Other)
Back – returns to prior display
Inc – increment the value shown above the cursor
Dec – decrement the value shown above the cursor
Next / Prev – these keys move to Next or Previous item within the list function accessed. Next
and Prev are for navigation only.
Done – ends data entry session and proceeds with the selected operation
Edit – activate edit function for displayed parameter
Abort – aborts present operation without affecting prior settings or values
Save – saves the present value
Store – stores the present value
Yes – affirmative response to question presented
No – negative response to question presented

GENERAL OPERATION
Power options
The 4150 general purpose unit can be powered for portable operation by six (6) each AA alkaline or NiMH
batteries. The 4150X Intrinsically Safe unit must be powered by approved AA alkaline batteries (see the
“Hazardous Area Use” section of this manual and the I.S. Control Drawing shipped with each 4150X for
more information). AA alkaline batteries are standard with shipment. Meriam offers NiMH batteries and
charger cradles (external charge only) as an option for general purpose (non-I.S.) only. For bench top
applications and download operations, the AC adapter (P/N Z9B000007 included with each unit) is
recommended. The AC adapter is only for use in safe areas.
Located in the upper right corner of the display, this icon displays the
remaining battery power. Fresh batteries produce a full black cell body. As the power
drains, the black segment retreats indicating remaining power.
When the optional AC adapter (P/N Z9B000007) is used, the battery circuit is bypassed and a wall
plug icon replaces the battery icon on the display header. For AC power use, the AC adapter is
connected to the Communication / AC Adapter Dongle and then the dongle is connected to the
NOTE: Power icons may temporarily disappear during certain HART Communication operations
fitting on the top of the 4150 / 4150X.
Communication / AC Adapter Dongle
The Communication / AC Adapter Dongle, included with each unit, is used to connect the AC adapter to the
4150 / 4150X when needed. The dongle is also used to connect the unit to a PC for serial communications.
See the “Updating 4150 / 4150X Firmware and DOFs” and “Documenting HART Configurations with
Meriam DMS Software” sections of this manual for more information on communications.
Note: For 4150X Intrinsically Safe units, the Communication / AC Adapter Dongle can only be used in
a safe area. See the “Hazardous Area Use” section of this manual and the Intrinsic Safety Control
Drawing in the Appendix of this manual for more information.

Navigating Menus on the Display
Several methods of navigating through display menus are available to the user for maximum convenience
and utility.
1. Soft keys: Use Up and Down Soft Keys to move cursor arrow to the desired menu option. Then use
the Select soft key to accept the indicated choice. Soft key navigating tools are found throughout
the 4150 / 4150X Main displays and HART communication displays.
2. Side keys: Up, Down and Select keys are also provided on the left hand side of the unit. These
keys are thumb operated and provide a convenient alternative to the Soft Key navigation buttons.
Side key functionality is not always available in the HART communication displays.
3. Multi-page lists: Multi-page lists have a and/or symbol along the right hand side of the
display indicating the existence of information on the previous or next page(s). Several pages of
information may need to be viewed when reviewing lists of installed DOFs, stored configuration
files or finding a specific device in Offline Mode to create a configuration for. While in these list
areas, pressing the SHIFT key ( ) changes soft key definitions Select and Back to PgUp and
PgDn, respectively. To quickly advance to the next page of a list, press and then the PgDn soft
key. To retreat to the prior page, press and then PgUp. PgUp and PgDn soft keys remain active
until the Up or Down soft key is used or until is pressed again.
4. Numbered HART menus: All HART displays have numbered menu lines when needed. This
gives fast access directly to the desired menu line. 4150 / 4150X displays also have numbered
menus with the exception of multi-page list screens.
5. HART menu HOME key: To quickly retreat from any location in the HART menu to the initial
HART menu screen for a device, press the , key sequence. This will return the display to the
initial HART screen. The Home function will be disallowed if a critical HART task is in process.
6. Left / Right Arrow keys: Emulate Back and
Select soft keys, respectively
Turning on the 4150 / 4150X
Use the dedicated ON/OFF key to power up the unit. A brief diagnostic runs while the Meriam logo, model
number, and firmware version is displayed. A message is displayed indicating active scanning for a HART
device at address zero. The following scenarios are possible.
1. If the unit is connected to a HART device with address = 0 (and
there is sufficient loop resistance), the 4150 / 4150X
immediately establishes HART communication with the device.
A display similar to the example at right appears. The
numbered menus and Soft Keys are then used to commission,
re-configure, or maintain the connected device.

Lockouts
The HART Communicator can be programmed to lockout certain standard functions that a supervisor may
wish to control. The functions included are used to set up the 4150 / 4150X for normal use, change online
HART device configurations, create offline HART device configurations, update the installed DOFs list
(HART device profiles), or to update the Unit’s operating firmware. For example, locking out the Configs
feature makes the unit a read only HART communicator while locking out DOFs and Firmware prevents
unauthorized updates. The lockout can be limited to individual Lockout Details items or all Lockout Details
items can be locked out at one time.
To enable the lockout feature, press the “3” key or move the selection cursor to the Lockouts menu
option on the Configuration screen (see below left). Choose the Lockouts selection by pressing the Chng
soft key. The 4150 / 4150X will enter the Lockout Enable / Disable Screen. The three choices and current
