2.3 Keypad Symbols
On/Off
Pressing the 0 (Off) / 1 (On) key powers up or turns off the Mobility MFC. As the unit powers up, an
internal diagnostic check is performed. Any abnormalities are posted on the display. The unit will
briefly display the Mobility MFC model number and then check for a HART device with address of
zero. If a device with zero address is found, the Mobility MFC immediately goes into online status and
displays information about the device. If no device is found, the Mobility MFC enters the Mobility MFC
Main navigation screen. To turn the Mobility MFC 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 the 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 SHIFT, Home 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 Mobility MFC models. This key also provides
documenting functions used with the ABB 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. If the display is faded or blacked out, simply depress the key until the
display returns to an acceptable level. 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 Mobility DHH800-MFC.
Back Light
This key provides a backlight to illuminate the display in poor light conditions. Battery life is impacted
by long-term use of the backlight feature. An automatic shut off timer is available to the user under the
Main Menu’s Mobility MFC soft key.
Alphanumeric / Symbol Entry
The alphanumeric keys have the heaviest population on the keyboard and are the method of entering
data into the Mobility MFC. Each Mobility MFC display has a default alpha or numeric / symbol entry
mode based on the most likely used mode for the display’s function. This reduces user workload to a
minimum. Pressing the ALPHA LOCK key activates the other entry mode at the user’s convenience.
Pressing the SHIFT key converts the next keystroke to the inactive entry mode and then automatically
reverts back to the default mode. The letter “A” in the display header line indicates the alpha input
default is active while a # sign in the display header indicates the numeric / symbol input is the default.

the display to the left of the battery power (or AC wall plug) symbol. SHIFT 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 present 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
Pressing the Shift, INS key sequence activates the Insert text edit function. 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 light blue keys located immediately below the display are Soft Keys. The specific functions
of these keys change depending on the operating mode of the Mobility MFC. Present definitions are
displayed at the bottom of the Mobility MFC display. The following are examples or Soft Key
definitions and their uses:

3.0 General Operation
3.1 Power options
The Mobility DHH800-MFC can be powered for portable operation by two each 9-volt alkaline, Lithium or
NiMH batteries. Alkaline batteries are standard with the Mobility MFC shipment. ABB offers NiMH batteries
and charger cradles (external charge only) as an option. For bench top operations and download operations,
an AC adapter (P/N 3KXD311800L0036) with a barrel style connector is recommended. Previous DHH800-
MFC hardware used a pin style AC adapter connector (P/N 3KXD311800L0034).
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 Mobility MFC is used with the optional AC adapter (P/N 3KXD311800L0036), the battery
circuit is bypassed and a wall plug icon replaces the battery icon on the display header. The AC
adapter jack is located on the left side of the Mobility MFC.
NOTE: Power icons may temporarily disappear during certain HART Communication operations
3.2 Navigating Menus
Several methods of navigating through the Mobility MFC 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 Mobility MFC Main displays and HART communication displays.
2. Side keys: Up, Down and Select keys are also provided on the left hand side of the Mobility MFC.
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 SHIFT and then the PgDn soft key. To retreat to the
prior page, press SHIFT and then PgUp. After SHIFT is pressed the PgUp and PgDn soft keys
remain active until the Up or Down soft key is used or until SHIFT 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. Mobility MFC displays also have numbered menus
with the exception of multi-page list screens and the Mobility MFC Configuration screen.
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 SHIFT, HOME 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.

adapter jack in a hazardous area. Use the AC adapter only in non-hazardous areas.
2. HART lead set – All Mobility MFC models are equipped with a standard size banana jack on 0.75” center.
The lead set supplied with the Mobility MFC has a standard banana plug on one end and mini-grabbers on
the other for convenient connections.
Note: For Intrinsically Safe Mobility MFC models, verify the instruments in the loop are installed in
accordance with intrinsically safe field wiring practices before making connection from the field
device to the Mobility MFC’s HART jack. See Hazardous Area Use Section of this manual for
Intrinsically Safe guidelines / restrictions.
3. DB-9 Connection Port – All Mobility MFC models are equipped with a standard DB-9 connection for RS-
232 communications located on the Mobility MFC’s bottom end. The DB-9 provides the hardware interface to
facilitate download / upload operations from a host PC. This connection port facilitates download of Mobility
MFC firmware improvements, HART®Device Object Files (DOFs) and documenting operations. All Mobility
MFC upgrades are available via the DPC Manager Download Site (refer to the DOF/Firmware Download Site
section in this manual). The Mobility MFC does not need to be returned to ABB for firmware updates or for
the addition of DOF files.
Note: Do not use the DB-9 connection port in Hazardous Areas. Use in non-hazardous areas only. See
Intrinsic Safety Control Document in the Appendix for more details on I. S. Mobility MFC units.

MOBILITY DHH800-MFC CONFIGURATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
7.0 HART®Communications with the Mobility DHH800-MFC
7.1 Overview
The Mobility DHH800-MFC Configurator with HART communications provides device specific HART
communication functions that allow the user to poll, configure and maintain supported HART field device.
The Mobility DHH800-MFC uses Universal, Common Practice and Device Specific commands to facilitate
communication with a HART field device. Use the Mobility MFC to commission devices, operational re-
configuration needs, or maintain devices through analog and sensor trim adjustments and many other
features.
The Mobility DHH800-MFC communicates with any HART device through Universal and Common Practice
Commands using the standard Generic DOF (Device Object File) but must have the DOF for a specific
HART device installed before it can execute Device Specific Commands. Consult the large and growing list
of available DOFs for an up to date list of HART devices with device specific support. Refer to the Available
DOF Website section of this document for information on accessing this list. When HART device support for
new devices becomes available, the Mobility MFC can be easily field updated via Internet downloads.
7.2 HART®Commands
Three HART command types are used by the Mobility DHH800-MFC to communicate with HART field
devices. First, Universal Commands are primarily used to identify a field device by its model number and tag
number and to read process data from the device. This communication is referred to as “polling”. The
Mobility DHH800-MFC can poll any Hart Device. Second, Common Practice Commands are used for
calibration and maintenance functions that are common to many devices. An example of this would be trims
or adjustments for the devices’ analog outputs. Third, Device Specific Commands are used to handle
functions that are unique to a particular device or manufacturer. Examples of these commands include
sensor zero, sensor trim, calibration curve characterization, density inputs required for calculations made by
the HART device or other configuration functions unique to the specific device.
7.3 HART®Connections
HART connections are made using two standard banana jacks (3/4” center) located at the top end of the
Mobility DHH800-MFC. Refer to the following diagram. Polarity is not a concern for HART connections so
both jack collars are black. ABB supplies a HART lead kit (P/N 3KXD311800L0011) complete with mini-
grabber connections and a 250 Ωload resistor with each model Mobility DHH800-MFC.
Figure 7.1 Mobility DHH800-MFC with HART
®
HART®connections are standard banana jacks (3/4” center)
For low load loops (less than 250 Ω), a 250 Ωresistor will need to be added to the loop to insure reliable
HART communications. ABB supplies a 250 Ωload resistor in the form of a standard adaptor (P/N
3KXD311800L0012). Refer to Figure 7-2 for connection details.

7.4.1 Initial Screens / Online Mode
Upon power up the Mobility MFC automatically detects if a field device is connect and attempts to establish
HART communications. When a device with address zero is found, the Mobility MFC provides feedback to
the user and starts the initial HART display for the connected device. See an example of Online Mode in
Figure 7-4.

7.4.2 Multi-drop Poll
To initiate a Mult-drop Poll, select the Online Setup option from the Mobility MFC Main screen when the
Device 0 Not Found message is displayed. This function polls for all non-zero addresses (1 – 15).
Located addresses are listed on the display as the remaining addresses are checked. When polling is
complete, or upon pressing Stop after the address of interest is found, use the soft key controls to select the
address of interest. The initial HART menu for the device selected will then be displayed for use.
7.4.3 Manual Launch of Device 0 Poll
When the message Device 0 *On-line* is displayed on the Mobility MFC Main navigation screen,
selecting Online Setup will launch HART communication with the device. The message indicates that a
HART device with address 0 has been detected at the HART connection and the Mobility MFC is
standing by to initiate communications. The Device 0 *On-line* message is shown 1) if a physical
connection is made to a HART device after the Mobility MFC power is turned on or 2) if the user exits
from a HART communication session using the soft key controls provided.
7.4.4 Offline Menu Mode
The Offline Menu gives the user access to lists and functions that can be viewed or performed in Offline
Mode at the user’s convenience for the purposes of reviewing the Mobility MFC’s DOF list, reviewing stored
device configurations or creating HART configurations. Stored configurations can be also be edited and then
applied later to a connected HART device. When the Offline Menu is selected from the Mobility MFC Main
navigation screen, the following display is shown.
