WARNING!
•The Trex unit cannot power a 4-wire device. Do not connect Trex unit to
the power terminals of a 4-wire device. This can blow a fuse inside the
Trex unit. The repair/replacement will need to be completed at an
authorized service center.
•Do not connect lead sets to the HART and HART + pwr terminals at the
same time. If the lead sets are connected to devices, this increases the
chance of wiring mistakes and could create a short in the HART loop.
•Do not add any external power to the device when the Trex unit is
powering the device. This can blow a fuse inside the Trex unit. The repair/
replacement will need to be completed at an authorized service center.
Ensure the device is disconnected from the loop/segment and no other
wires are connected to the device before providing power from the Trex
unit.
•Do not use the Trex unit to power a WirelessHART device. Providing
power to a WirelessHART device may damage the device.
•Do not connect the mA terminals (ammeter) in parallel with a powered
4-20 mA current loop. Ammeters have low resistance. This can disrupt
the loop and cause devices to report incorrect values or positioners to
move unexpectedly.
•Do not connect the mA terminals on the Trex unit to a power supply that
is not current limited to 250 mA. This can blow a fuse inside the Trex unit.
The repair/replacement will need to be completed at an authorized
