Field Device Idle
Time
Enter the time in seconds for the device to remain powered after an
unscheduled event. This event could be a HART query over the WirelessHART
handheld or detection of another HART master trying to communicate (such
as a wired HART handheld). This prevents the VECTOR from powering off a
field device when some other master is attempting communication with the
field device. Generally best left at the default of 60 seconds.
Field Device On Esti-
mated Percent
Enter the estimated time for the field device to be powered during normal
operation. This is a calculation based upon the Field Device Turn On Time and
the VECTOR burst mode ( “Configure Burst Settings Tab” on page 484) set-
tings. The lower this value is, the less power used. Display only.
Field Device Cutoff
Enable
Use this pulldown to enable or disable whether a Field Device Cutoff Voltage
is used.
Field Device Cutoff
Voltage
Enter the voltage below which power to the field devices is cutoff.
