Power and connect to a Smart Wireless THUM adapter

The Trex unit must have the Device Communicator Plus communication module to power a THUM adapter.

When performing a bench configuration, the THUM adapter should be attached to a device. However, the Trex unit can power a THUM adapter when it is not connected to a HART device.

To connect to a device that has a THUM adapter attached, see Connect to an externally-powered HART device or Power and connect to a HART device.

CAUTION:
Remove the USB cable from the Trex unit before connecting to a device.
  1. Connect the lead set to the HART + pwr terminals on the Trex unit and the red/black wires on the THUM adapter.

  4. Tap Positioner.
  5. When prompted, change the polling address to 63.
  6. Follow any additional prompts to connect to the THUM adapter.
