Startup and Operation
Insert the batteries, switch on the mobiLink and wait 5
seconds until the device has started. The operation of
mobiLink requires the use of management tools like FDT
frame applications or configuration tools on Windows PCs
or tablets or smartphones.
See the User Guide for safety requirements and details
on how to set up a USB and Bluetooth communication
and how to configure the fieldbus and HART connection.
During startup mobiLink tries to verify the operation
mode against the connected fieldbus. If fieldbus
terminals are connected to an operating 4-20 mA link this
will compromise the analog process value. Make sure to
use the correct connections and mode.
