Honeywell MCT404-XI-03-00 MCT404 MC Toolkit Configurator

Description

Configurator management and field device commissioning are streamlined using the Honeywell MCT404-XI-03-00 handheld MC Toolkit Configurator, an intrinsically safe industrial device designed for configuring, calibrating, and diagnosing HART-compliant smart field instruments. Operating on Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 and driven by a 1 GHz OMAP multi-core processor, this system allows engineers to perform field setup tasks directly in Zone 1 / Division 1 hazardous areas without hot-work permits.

The unit features a high-durability 3.5-inch VGA transmissive TFT-LCD touch screen protected by Gorilla Glass, providing high visibility in high-ambient lighting conditions. This specific configuration, denoted by code MCT404-XI-03-00, includes a specialized docking station package equipped with a charging adapter, a USB interface cable for host computer synchronization, and a standard European Union (EU) AC power cord. The configuration database and Field Device Configurator (FDC) software reside on a pre-installed, removable 2 GB industrial-grade micro SD card containing official HART Device Descriptions (DD).

Installation and Handling Guidelines

• Hazardous Location Restrictions: Do not charge the battery pack or connect the docking station via USB in a hazardous area. Docking and charging must only take place in a designated safe, non-hazardous location.
• Battery Handling: Use only official Honeywell replacement Lithium-Ion battery packs specified for the MCT404-XI series to maintain intrinsic safety ratings.
• Storage: Store the device within the specified temperature limits (-20 to +60 degC) to prevent degradation of the battery cell capacity and the LCD panel.
• Touchscreen Care: Clean the Gorilla Glass display using a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents.
