Smart Transmitter Terminal - STT04

n Multifaceted Portable Communication

Terminal. Configures, calibrates, monitors &
troubleshoots field devices; easy to upgrade,
and can interface with a personal computer.

n Communication Flexibility. Supports field

devices utilizing FSK or HART®
communications protocol.

n Easy to Connect. Clip leads connect easily

to the loop or device, independent of line
polarity: frees your hands to view real-time
process variables with the STT04.

n PC Interface Capability. An RS-232-C port

and Windows® based application software
allow uploading and downloading STT04
configurations to a PC. The software also
allows firmware upgrades and database
management. Smart Transmitter Terminal
Series STT04
n Online Firmware Upgrades. Download the
latest STT04 firmware upgrades via the
internet eliminating the need to return the
unit to the factory for an upgrade.

n Extended Battery Life. The rechargeable

battery pack can operate for six days when
fully charged.

n Proven and Reliable. Portable

communication terminal introduced in the
instrumentation industry over a decade ago.
The STT04 terminal embodies our vast
experience and expertise to provide high
quality and reliable service.

Charge time: 2.8 hours communication signal is a high frequency AC signal
with a DC average of zero. Therefore, digital
communication and process variable output can
occur simultaneously. The STT04 can communicate
with up to eight field devices when connected to a
digital field bus.
