letting you congure or troubleshoot in the eld. Electronic Device
Description Language (EDDL) technology enables the 475
Field Communicator to communicate with a variety of devices
independent of device manufacturer.
475 FIELD COMMUNICATOR OVERVIEW
The portable 475 Field Communicator includes a color LCD touch
screen, a Dual-core Lithium Ion battery (Power Module), a Central
Processing Unit (CORTEX-M3), bulk memory unit (FLASH) and
integral eldbus communication circuitry.
When using the 475 Field Communicator to communicate with
devices, follow all standards and procedures applicable to the
location. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage and/
or personal injury. Understand and comply with the sections in this
manual.
Working in a Hazardous Area
An Intrinsically Safe (IS-approved) 475 Field Communicator can be
used in Zone 0 (FM and CSA only), Zone 1, or Zone 2, for Group
IIC, and Class I, Division 1 and Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D
locations.
An IS-approved 475 Field Communicator may be connected to
loops or segments that are attached to equipment located in Zone
0, Zone 1, Zone 2, for Group IIC; Zone 20, Zone 21, Zone 22, and
Class I, Division 1 and Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D locations.
IS-approved 475 Field Communicators are ordered with the
KL option and have an additional label on the back of the
communicator that lists the approvals.
CAUTION
You cannot install or remove the Li-Ion battery in a hazardous area
environment.
You cannot charge the battery in this environment .
The power supply/charger is not IS-approved.

CAUTION
You cannot use sharp instruments contact the touch screen, preferably
the stylus included with the 475 Field Communicator. Sharp
instruments, such as screwdrivers, can damage the touch screen and
void the warranty. Repairing the touch screen requires replacement of
the entire display assembly, which is possible only at an authorized
service center.
Battery and Power Supply/Charger
Understand and follow the precautions below before using your
battery or power supply/charger.
●Protect the battery and power supply/charger from moisture, and
respect operating and storage temperature limits. See the 475
Field Communicator User’s Manual for temperature limits.
●Do not cover the battery or power supply/charger, subject it to
prolonged periods of direct sunlight, or place it upon or next to
heat-sensitive materials.
●Charge the battery with only the power supply/charger. The power
supply/charger should not be used with other products. Failure to
comply may permanently damage your 475 Field Communicator
and void the IS approval and the warranty.
●Do not open or modify the battery or power supply/charger. There
are no user-serviceable components or safety elements inside.
Opening or modifying them will void the warranty and could cause
personal harm.
●Follow all applicable regulations when transporting a Li-Ion
battery.
Charging the Battery
Prior to rst portable use, fully charge the Li-Ion battery. The power
supply/charger has a green connector to match the connector
on the battery. The battery can be charged separately or while
attached to the 475 Field Communicator. A full charge takes

approximately eight hours, and the 475 is fully operable when
charging. An overcharge condition will not occur if power supply/
charger remains connected after charging completes.
To maintain performance, charge the battery frequently, preferably
after each use. Limit full discharges, if possible. Additional
information about maintaining the battery is in the475 Field
Communicator User’s Manual.
Power Supply/Charger Lights
Five green lights are on the power supply/charger to indicate the
conditions below.
Button can illuminate the lights.

INSTALLING THE SYSTEM CARD AND BATTERY
1. Remove the communication line.
2. Place the 475 Field Communicator face down on a level, secure
surface.
3. With the battery removed, slide the Secure Digital System Card
(labeled System Card), with the card contacts facing up, into the
System Card socket until it clicks. The System Card socket is
spring-loaded. See Figure 2 for the System Card socket ocation.
The System Card is not locked into the System Card socket in
Figure 2.
CAUTION
The System Card must be supplied by the professional manufacturer.
4. With the 475 Field Communicator still face down, ensure the two
battery retaining screws are loose.
5. Align the battery with the sides of 475 Field Communicator, and
carefully slide the battery forward until it is secure.

INSTALLING THE SYSTEM CARD AND BATTERY
CAUTION
The connector pins may be damaged if the battery and 475 Field
Communicator are improperly aligned.
6. Carefully hand tighten the two battery retaining screws. (Do
not over tighten, 0.5Nm maximum torque load.) The tops of the
screws should be nearly ush with the 475 Field Communicator.
REMOVING THE BATTERY AND SYSTEM CARD
1. Remove the communication line.
2. With the 475 Field Communicator off, place it face down on a
level, secure surface.
3. Loosen the two battery retaining screws.
4. Slide the battery off the 475 Field Communicator.
CAUTION
The connector pins may be damaged if you pull the battery up rather
than slide it off the 475 Field Communicator.
5. Push the System Card into the System Card socket until it clicks
and releases.
6. Slide the System Card out of the System Card socket.
STARTING THE 475 FIELD COMMUNICATOR
Before startup, ensure the 475 Field Communicator is not
damaged, the battery is fully seated, all screws are sufficiently
tightened, and the communication terminals are free of dirt and
debris.
To start the 475 Field Communicator:
1. Press and hold the power key on the keypad for 1 second until
startup, The Field Communicator Main Menu displays.
2. Use the touch screen or up and down arrow keys to select menu
items. To open a selected menu item, double-tap it or use the

right arrow key.
3. To Shut down, press and hold the Power key on the keypad for 1
second.
CONNECTING TO A DEVICE
Use the provided lead set to connect the 475 Field Communicator
to the loop, segment or device. Three communication terminals for
the lead set are on the top of the 475 Field Communicator. Each
red terminal is a positive connection for its protocol, and the black
terminal is a common terminal shared by both protocols. An access
door ensures that only one pair of terminals is exposed at any one
time. Several markings indicate which pair of terminals is for which
protocol.
Only connections to a HART loop are allowed. Refer to the latest
version of the 475 Field Communicator User’s Manual for details.
