with zero address is found, the YHC immediately goes into online status and displays information
about the device. If no device is found, the YHC enters the YHC Main navigation screen. To turn the
YHC 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 YHC models. For Documenting operations this key also
provides documenting functions used with the Yokogawa 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 in the YHC.
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

The alphanumeric keys have the heaviest population on the keyboard and are the method of entering
data into the YHC. Each YHC display 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 next
L
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 YHC’s dual function keys for the next
u
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…).

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 of the YHC. Present definitions are displayed at
the bottom of the YHC 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

GENERAL OPERATION
Power options
The YHC 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 YHC 4150X
for more information). AA alkaline batteries are standard with the YHC shipment. For bench top
applications and download operations, the AC adapter (P/N Z9B000007 included with each YHC) 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 YHC is used with the optional AC adapter (P/N Z9B000007), 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
NOTE: Power icons may temporarily disappear during certain HART Communication operations
connected to the fitting on the top of the YHC.
Communication / AC Adapter Dongle
The Communication / AC Adapter Dongle, included with each YHC, is used to connect the AC adapter to
the YHC when needed. The dongle is also used to connect the YHC to a PC for serial communications. See
the “Updating YHC 4150X Firmware and DOFs” and “Documenting HART Configurations with Yokogawa
DMS Software” sections of this manual for more information on communications.
Note: For YHC 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 YHC display
Several methods of navigating through the YHC 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 YHC Main displays and HART communication displays.
2. Side keys: Up, Down and Select keys are also provided on the left hand side of the YHC. 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. YHC 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.

soft keys, respectively
Turning on the YHC
Use the dedicated ON/OFF key to power up the YHC. A brief diagnostic runs while the Yokogawa logo,
YHC model number, and YHC firmware version is displayed. A message is displayed indicating the YHC is
scanning for a HART device at address zero. The following scenarios are possible.
1. If the YHC is connected to a HART device with address = 0
(and there is sufficient loop resistance), the YHC 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.
2. If no HART device is connected, if a HART device with
address ≠ 0 is connected, or if a connected device is not found
due to wiring or loop resistance problem, the YHC will enter the
YHC Main navigation display depicted at right.
2.1 Select Online Setup once a HART device is connected
or once the wiring problem is resolved. A proper
connection will be indicated when line three changes
to “Device 0: *Online*”.
2.2 Select Online Setup if properly connected HART device
is setup for Multidrop loop or Burst Mode operation
(device address ≠ 0). The YHC will respond with a
statement and the Soft Key options shown at right. To
initiate a Multidrop poll, press the Multi soft key. To
retry the address 0 poll after rechecking connections,
press the Retry soft key. Press the Exit soft key to enter
Offline mode.

Lockouts
The YHC 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 YHC 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 YHC’s operating firmware. For example, locking out the Configs
feature turns the YHC into 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 YHC will enter the Lockout Enable / Disable Screen. The three choices and current status
