Introduction
FL500 HART® Communication Operating Manual 5
US
1. Introduction
The FL500 UV/IR flame detector (hereafter referred to as the "FL500" or "device") is compliant with
HART protocol Revision 7.0. This manual gives information about device-specific features related to the
implementation of the HART protocol. This manual is made to be used as a technical reference for
HART-capable host application developers, system integrators, and knowledgeable end users.
Refer to the FL500 UV/IR Flame Detector Operating Manual (PN 10193213) for information about the FL500.
2. Device Identification
Manufacturer Name General Monitors, Inc.
Model Name FL500
Device Type Code 144 (93 hex)
Device Revision 1
HART ID Code 223 (DF hex)
HART Protocol Revision 7.0
Number of Device Variables 0
Physical Layers Supported 1
Physical Device Category FSK

Getting Started
6FL500 HART® Communication Operating Manual
US
3. Getting Started
HART communication with the FL500 can be enabled through HART handheld communicators and
PC-based systems. The following shows a typical setup.
After the device is installed and connected to a PC, host application, or handheld communicator, the master
typically starts communication to the device by sending HART Command 0. The device responds only if its
tag matches. The data in the reply to Command 11 is identical to that of Command 0, so the master can
make the Unique Identifier to be used with more commands.
NOTE: Use the handheld communicator to retrieve diagnostic information and change device settings as
necessary. Do NOT use the handheld communicator as a permanent part of a safety system.

Connections
FL500 HART® Communication Operating Manual 7
US
4. Connections
The HART protocol uses the 4 – 20 mA current loop.
Normal
Current
Special
Current
Description
3.5 mA 1.5 mA Fault
3.5 mA 2.0 mA COPM error
4.0 mA 4.0 mA Normal (Ready)
8.0 mA 8.0 mA IR-only fire detected
12.0 mA 12.0 mA UV-only fire detected
16.0 mA 16.0 mA Both UV/IR (Alarm Low)
20.0 mA 20.0 mA Fire after time delay (Alarm High)
For information about terminal connections, refer to the FL500 UV/IR Flame Detector Operating Manual
(PN 10193213).
5. Dynamic Variables
The only dynamic variable for the HART protocol is the primary variable. The output of the primary variable is
the FL500 Operating Mode. The primary variable is equivalent to Modbus register 0x00.
Refer to the following section for the decimal values related to the FL500 Operating Modes.
5.1. FL500 Operating Mode Decimal Values
Mode Decimal Value
Initialization 0
Start-up 1
Normal (standby) 2
Fault 3
COPM check 4
IR-only fire 5
UV-only fire 6
Alarm Test 7
Alarm Low latching only 8
Alarm High latching only 9
Alarm Low non-latching only 10
Alarm High non-latching only 11
ATE test 12
ATEX test 13
Alarm Low and Alarm High latching 14

Error Status
8FL500 HART® Communication Operating Manual
US
6. Error Status
Common-practice command 48 sends the Error status. The Error status is equivalent to Modbus
register 0x02.
Byte Bit Hex Description Class
Device Status
Bits Set
1 (upper) 0 0x0100 Alarm High relay Error 4,7
1 0x0200 Alarm Low relay Error 4,7
2 0x0400 Fault relay Error 4,7
3 0x0800 Output current Error 4,7
4 0x1000 Alarm Test input/output Error 4,7
5 0x2000 Not used Error 4,7
6 0x4000 UV 10 minutes Error 4,7
7 0x8000 Alarm Reset switch shorted Error 4,7
0 (lower) 0 0x0001 Internal voltage Error 4,7
1 0x0002 Not used Error 4,7
2 0x0004 IR COPM Error 4,7
3 0x0008 UV COPM Error 4,7
4 0x0010 Low supply voltage Error 4,7
5 0x0020 Noncritical EEPROM Error 4,7
6 0x0040 EEPROM checksum Error 4,7
7 0x0080 Flash checksum Error 4,7
These bits can be set at device start-up to indicate an instrument failure. These bits can also be set by a
failure detected during continuous background diagnostic testing.
7. Universal Commands
Command 3 sends the current loop variable and the primary variable for a total of 9 bytes. Command 9
sends the primary variable only.
