COMMISSIONING ON 
THE BENCH WITH HART
Commissioning consists of testing the transmitter and verifying transmitter 
configuration data. 4500 transmitters can be commissioned either before or 
after installation. Commissioning the transmitter on the bench before 
installation using a 375 Field Communicator or AMS ensures that all 
transmitter components are in working order. 
To commission on the bench, connect the transmitter and the HART 
Communicator or AMS as shown in Figure 3-1. Make sure the instruments in 
the loop are installed according to intrinsically-safe or nonincendive field 
wiring practices before connecting in an explosive atmosphere. Connect 
HART Communicator leads at any termination point in the signal loop.
For 4–20 mA transmitters, the power supply must provide 11.25 to 30 V dc at 
the transmitter. To enable communication, a resistance of at least 250 ohms 
must be present between the HART Communicator loop connection and the 
power supply. Do not use inductive transient protectors with the  4500.
When using a HART Communicator, any configuration changes made must 
be sent to the transmitter by using the “Send” key (F2). AMS configuration 
changes are implemented when the “Apply” button is clicked.
For more information on the 375 Field Communicator see document 
00809-0100-4276. AMS help can be found in the AMS on-line guides within 
the AMS system.
Setting the Loop to 
Manual
Whenever sending or requesting data that would disrupt the loop or change 
the output of the transmitter, set the process application loop to manual. The 
HART Communicator or AMS will prompt you to set the loop to manual when 
necessary. Acknowledging this prompt does not set the loop to manual. The 
prompt is only a reminder; set the loop to manual as a separate operation.
