1Safety
1.1 Designated use
Field Xpert is an industrial PDA with integrated 3.5" touchscreen based on Microsofts
Windows Embedded Handheld. It offers wireless communication via Bluetooth or WiFi
interfaces. The Bluetooth interface can be used in combination with a HART or
FOUNDATION fieldbus modem to connect directly to HART or FOUNDATION fieldbus H1
devices. The WiFi interface can be used to connect with HART or FOUNDATION fieldbus
devices via a gateway, e.g. Endress+Hauser Fieldgate FXA520 for HART or SFC162 gateway
for FOUNDATION fieldbus. Field Xpert also works as a stand-alone device for asset
management applications. It may be used only for the purposes described in these Operating
Instructions and only in conjunction with third-party devices and components recommended
or approved by Endress+Hauser.
1.2 Commissioning and operation
To ensure that the product operates correctly and safely, Field Xpert must be transported,
stored, connected, operated and maintained in accordance with the instructions in this
manual. Personnel must be authorized and have the necessary qualifications.
1.3 Operational safety
Operating environment Field Xpert meets the requirements of the EU guidelines for the various operating
environments in which it is designed to operate. The permitted operating conditions of Field
Xpert and its allowed components e.g. modems must be observed, see also Field Xpert CD-
ROM (folder Documentation).
Hazardous areas • The non-Ex version of Field Xpert may not be operated in explosion hazardous areas
• The ATEX version of Field Xpert may be operated in hazardous areas, Zone 1/21.
• The VIATOR Bluetooth modem is ATEX, FM and IS certified and may be operated
hazardous areas, Zone 1
• The Softing FFblue Bluetooth modem is ATEX certified and may be operated hazardous
areas, Zone 1
• Once a modem has been used in a non-Ex installation, it should never be used in an Ex
installation, as there is a danger that the protective circuits have been inadvertently
overloaded and no longer function correctly.
Repair Do not open the Field Xpert housing. It does not contain any parts which the user needs to
service or repair. In the event of a fault or defect, please return the Field Xpert to
Endress+Hauser. Opening the Field Xpert invalidates the guarantee and Ex approval. The
VIATOR Bluetooth and FFblue modem may be opened in order to replace the batteries, as
described in this manual.
1.4 Declaration of conformity
A CE declaration of conformity has been issued for the Ex and non-Ex versions. The relevant
documents can be found here:
Field Xpert CD-ROM (folder: Documentation).

4.1.4 Bluetooth transmission range
The Field Xpert is equipped with a Class 2 Bluetooth adapter, which enables a range of up to
10 meters. The range can be reduced by interference from other nearby devices transmitting
in the 2.4 Ghz ISM band. Sources of interference may include cordless telephones, wireless
networking devices and also microwave ovens. In certain circumstances, reception
interference may cause a Bluetooth connection to be terminated, making it necessary to
reconnect to the HART or FOUNDATION fieldbus network.

4.2 VIATOR Bluetooth modem
The VIATOR Bluetooth modem is a point-to-point interface for temporary connection to
HART-enabled field devices for configuration purposes. It is approved for hazardous areas
and operates for approx. 20 hours when powered by replaceable batteries. Field Xpert and
the modem communicate with each other via Bluetooth, with the modem connected via
cable to the HART field device.
The VIATOR Bluetooth modem incorporates a Class 1 Bluetooth radio with a range of up to
100 meters. The Field Xpert is equipped with a Class 2 Bluetooth adapter, which limits the
range to maximum 10 meters.
NOTE!
• The modem is certified for use in hazardous areas, Zone 1. Once a modem has been used
in a non-Ex installation, it should never be used in an Ex installation, as there is a danger
that the protective circuits have been inadvertently overloaded and no longer function
correctly.
• The modem must only be operated when the battery compartment is closed.
