1.1 TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY OVERVIEW
The communicator has a 4.3-inch widescreen backl it TFT color touchscreen display wi th 480 x 272
WQVGA pixel resolution. The entire vi ewab le area of the screen is an active touch su rface. The touchscreen
responds to and is optimized for finger presses ( ev en through gloves). NO stylus is necessary . Never touch
the screen with sharp objects – simply use y our finger.
Display Layouts
There are two styles of displays presented on the communicator , system menu displays (Section 3.1) and
HART
®
menu displays (Section 3.2).
The main system menu display is the initial menu at power turn on . It is also accessible from any HART
®
menu (see Function Buttons in se ction 3.2). There are three distinct areas on the system men us . The top of
the menu provides system information. The middle of the menu contains navigation icons to system actions
or new system menus. The bottom of the menu contains current HART
®
connection status and navigation
buttons.

communicating with the communicator . There are four distinct areas on a HART
®
menu. The top of the
menu provides information on the currently attached device as well as various sta tus indicators. The middle
of the menu is divided into two functional areas, HART

1.2 Keyboard Layout
The communicator provides a high functi onality keyboard, combined with touch screen data k ey s, to
simplify data entry and navigat ion. Most tasks can be completed by jus t using the dedicated keyboard. The
touch screen keys (only visible during text data entry) add the complete ISO Latin-1 (ISO 8859 - 1) character
set, except numerals, in a large, easy to select k ey size.

2.0 GENERAL OPERATION
2.1 Power Button
The Power Button has two functions:
Power On – Whenever the communicato r i s in an “Off” state, pressing the power key turn s the
communicator on. This is a complete syste m start. The communicator will execute a complet e power op
sequence. Information regarding the time and date is briefly displayed to allow t he user to verify the
communicator’s readiness
.
Standby Operation – When the communicator is fully on, and the powe r button is pressed briefly, the uni t
enters the Standby state where allowed. In t his state the display is off and most user input is ignored to
conserve battery power between uses. The o n-board computer maintains the pre vious system state to
provided rapid recovery (Resume Operat ion).
Resume Operation - When the communicator is in Standby Operation, a nd the power button is presse d
briefly, the unit quickly resum es operation, returning to a fully “On” state of functional i ty at the same menu
level that was interrupted.
Power Off – When the communicator is fully on, and the power button is pressed for thre e seconds, the unit
will power down completely where allowed. T his conserves the most battery power but r eq uires a full
initialization when the unit is turned on again.
2.2 Backlight
The Backlight has 5 intensities from mini mum to full Brigh tness. The user can select intensities by p ressing
the Backlight Button. Backlight intensity affect s battery life. A lo wer intensity level will increase operation
time.
2.3 Display Auto Dim Timer
Display Auto Dim is a configurab le mode that allows the user to minimiz e the backlight when there is no
user or HART
®
activity detected by the communicator for a user defined period of time. This period is
adjustable using the Display Auto Dim T imer. A shorter period will decrease battery consumption when the
communicator is not being used.
2.4 Auto Standby Timer
Auto Standby is a configurable mode that allows the user to automatically put the communicator into a
standby state when there is no user or
HART
®
activity detected by the communicator fo r a user defined
period of time. The inactivity period is adjustable using the Auto Standby timer. In combination with the
Display Auto Dim Timer, shorter period wil l decrease battery consumption. The standby timeout begins
when the Auto Dim Timer times out. If the Auto Dim Timer is set to “Never” the standby timeout will not
begin.
2.5 Portable Operation / Battery L ife
The c ommunicator is powered by a rechargeable li-ion battery pack for portable operation. A f ull charge
typically al lows fo r 20 hours of typical operation . See section 2.7 for instruction on battery removal and
replacement. Replacement battery packs are available from Yokogawa ( 1W- 9A820-1).
The battery pack contains an advanced b at tery fuel gauge that actively monitors the b attery capacity and
therefore does not require any “ba ttery training” throughout the life of the battery pack.
2.6 PC Communication / Recharging Cradle
The Recharging Cradle, included with each unit, automatically recharges the l i-ion battery pack when the
communicator i s properly inserted into the energized cradle. To fully charge a depleted battery pack takes
about four and one half hours.
The recharging cradle also connects the communicator with a PC for file updates to the communicator when
it is properly inserted in the cradle and a USB cable is attach ed from the cradle to a PC with the proper USB
drivers and Yokogawa update package. See section 5 for update instructions.
The Recharging Cradle is not intended to recharge a battery separately. To properly charge a battery
pack it is required to be inserted into a communicator prior to being placed on the charger .
Charging Indicator
There is a multicolor LED on the recharg ing cradle. This LED indicates the current ch arging mode.
Off – No battery pack inserted, or power disco nnected.
Solid Green – Battery is charged.
Flashing Amber – Battery is chargin g.
Solid Amber – Battery temperature out of cha rging range (10°C-40°C) , charge suspended.
Flashing Red – Battery fault.
Solid Red –Charger fault.

Cradle Connection Details
YHC5150X in charging cradle
The Recharging Cradle is not rated for intrinsic safety and should only be used in a non -hazardous 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.
2.7 Battery Pack Installation & Removal
The battery pack is held into the communicator by two standard 6-32 screws with hexagonal sockets that
require a 7/64” hex key wrench .
To install the battery pack set the commun icator enclosure with the display down ward on a flat stable
surface. Rest the battery pack in the battery pack compartment of the enclosure leaving a ½” gap between
the battery pack and the connector on the communicator enclosure. Slide the battery pack upward along the
enclosure until the connectors mate co mpletely and the screws are aligned wi th the threaded inserts on the
communicator body. Thread the screws into the insert to complete the installation.
For disassembly, reverse the order of the op erations.
Over- tightening the battery case screws when assembling can cause damage to the communicator.
Maximum torque should not excee d seven in-lb .
Battery should be charged completely (10 hours) before using the communicator the first time. See Section
2.9 for detail on using the charging c radle.
6-32 screws with
7/64” hexagonal socket
2.7 Memory Card
The communicator is shipped standard wi th a µSD memory system card. The system card is used fo r storage
of required software, software updates, HART
®
DD files and device configuration f i les. It is not intended for
use unrelated to the operation of the communicator . When the µSD memory system card is in the
YHC5150X, the user has no access to the card except with the Yokogawa provided P C so ftware.
This card should only be replac ed by Yokogawa part 1W-9P780, or its successor, and only under the
direction of Yokogawa personnel. Use of a non-system memory card will void safety certifications .
To access the memory card, follow the Battery Pack removal instructions.
To remove the memory card - Once the batt ery pack has been removed, press gently on the memory card to
unlock it from the card holder. Carefully remove the memory card from the encl osure ( Note: tweezers or
small needle-nose pliers can be helpful in removal a nd insertion).
To replace the memory card – Insert the memory card carefully into the card holder, contacts to ward the back
of the communicator and card label towards the front (scre en side) of the communicator. Be sure the
memory card is resting in the hol der before releasing it. Ge ntly press the card into the holde r to lock it into
place. Replace the battery pack and secure i t to the communicator enclosure.
2.8 Kick Stand
The communicator is equipped with a kic k stand to provide a better viewing angl e. The stand latches in the
down/open position. To return the kick stand to the up/closed pos ition squeeze the base inwards f rom both
sides to unlatch it.
