• Check Current
Output: Use the transmitter to supply the output current
desired for verifying analog loop operation, troubleshooting,
or calibrating other components in the analog loop.
• Troubleshoot: Check status of transmitter operation and display
diagnostic messages to identify transmitter,
communication, or operator error problems.
As Honeywell's family of Smartline Transmitters has evolved, the SFC
has been changed to meet new model and functionality requirements.
Besides different software versions, some major differences exist
between these four SFC model designations.
• STS100
• STS101
• STS102
• STS103
Table 2 summarizes the differences between the four SFC models for
reference.
