• Reliable Wireless— The WirelessHART self-organizing mesh network provides the high level of communication reliability required in process control.
• Minimized Maintenance—The patented sensing design provides more accurate monitoring and eliminates physical wear-out common in traditional limit switches and position transmitters. This results in less frequent maintenance, repair, and re-calibration. The standard version of this device uses a power module with expected module life meeting typical maintenance intervals.
• Ease of Implementation—No conduit easements or permits are required, thus saving time, costs, and effort in documenting cable runs and associated design reviews. Because there is no wiring, implementation times are shortened for device installation, setup, and commissioning. Typically the reduction is from months to hours.
• Rugged Construction—The housing is made from engineered resin, making it a good solution for most locations, including corrosive areas.
• Diagnostics—Predefined device, network, and system diagnostics provide details on the health of the device and its ability to communicate. Device diagnostics include whether the device calibration has been completed and power module health. The number of completed cycles is measured for the monitored equipment.

Note
A cycle is the change from open to closed position or vice versa. This is determined by moving past the trigger point in each direction.

• Security—The WirelessHART self-organizing mesh network includes encryption, authentication, and authorization mechanisms to provide the level of security required in process locations and by the Information Technology (IT) industry.
