Product Specifications

2.1 Introduction
The HART protocol (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is used by many
4 ... 20 mA transmitters to enable digital communication for diagnosis and maintenance
purposes. Many device parameters, but also measurement values, can be transmitted
digitally to and from the device. Until now, HART has been using the wired 4 ... 20 mA loop
as physical layer.
WirelessHART now allows for the wireless transmission of HART data. To be employable
worldwide, WirelessHART utilizes the 2.4GHz Band (IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network) as
physical layer. All WirelessHART devices form a mesh network in which every device is not
just a measurement point, but also a repeater. This results in a bigger range of the whole
network as well as an increased reliability through redundant communication paths.

The WirelessHART network is built up, organized and maintained by the WirelessHART
gateway and is therefore self-organizing and self-healing. The gateway also takes care for
connection to different HOST systems through different bus interfaces.
The WirelessHART gateway supplies the WirelessHART field devices with the necessary
information for seamless network operation.
2.2 Functional Overview
The WirelessHART adapter WHA-ADP is an intelligent interface module that connects
HART and 4 ... 20 mA devices to a WirelessHART network. It transmits the measurement
and diagnosis information acquired from the connected device(s) to a host application via
the WirelessHART gateway WHA-GW.
Key Functions
• May be connected directly to a HART device or mounted separately. Up to 4 HART
devices may be connected.
• LEDs for supply status, communication status and device status indication.
• Provides loop-power to the connected device. Alternatively, the connected device may
be powered externally.
• Battery life estimation and "Low Battery" alarm

3.1 Mounting Considerations
3.1.1 Positioning the Device
Install the WirelessHART gateway first, before installing other WirelessHART devices. This
way you can check for proper operation of new devices as they are installed. Please refer
to the gateway manual for further information.
Guidelines for Planning a WirelessHART Network
• A line-of-sight between communication partners always is desirable. If a line-of-sight is
not possible, the obstacles should not be massive and the partners should be more to
the edge of an obstacle to allow the wave to bend around it.
• Consider moving objects that could affect the device's antenna range.
• Install wireless devices at leat 1 m above the ground or the floor.
• Make sure that the device's antenna is aligned vertically for best results.
• Make sure that a minimum of 2 other WirelessHART devices are well within the antenna
range of the device. For more information on the antenna characteristics please refer to
the following section.
• Do not position WirelessHART devices directly below or above each other. They would
be outside each other's antenna range.
• Install WirelessHART devices at least 1 m away from each other.
• Antennas must be at least 6 cm away from any wall or any metallic material running
parallel to it.
• Position the device as far away as possible from metal surfaces or walls containing
metal. There should be as little metal close to the device as possible.
• Do not position other 2.4 GHz devices like cordless phone bases or WLAN routers near
WirelessHART devices. Keep in mind other wireless networks using the same
frequency spectrum (WLAN, Bluetooth, etc.). Wireless technologies used in an
industrial environment must be able to coexist without disrupting each other. If multiple
networks operate in one facility, a frequency management should be applied as part of
administration.

3.2 Mounting the device
The WirelessHart adapter can be mounted in one of three ways:
• direct connection to the field device,
• separate from the field device, but connected by a cable,
• when used as a repeater, as an autark unit.
Direct connection
The direct connection to a field device is made by means of an adapter piece which is
screwed into the cable entry at the side of the adapter (see chapter 3.2.1).
Separate mounting
The adapter can be mounted on a wall (see chapter 3.2.2), post (see chapter 3.2.3) or
other object, using the adapter wall/pipe mounting kit, which is available as an accessory.
The connection to the field device is made with standard installation cable and two cable
glands. It is recommended that the blind plug be left in place until the electrical connection
is made.
It is recommended that the WirelessHART adapter be installed separate from a field device
when:
• there is insufficient space at the measuring point to mount the adapter on the field
device,
• the signal reception at the measuring point is too weak for correct operation,
• the measuring point is subject to vibration above the permissible limits (see
>>>>>>>>>> Technical Data).
Supplied parts
Depending on the order, the following parts may be supplied:
• adapter piece for connection to a field device with a M20 cable entry,
• adapter piece for connection to a field device with a G 1/2 cable entry,
• adapter piece for connection to a field device with a NPT 1/2 cable entry,
• adapter piece for connection to a field device with a NPT 3/4 cable entry,
