## Function and system design 

## Measuring principle 

The RIA15 process indicator is integrated in the 4 to 20 mA or HART[®] loop and transmits the measuring signal or HART[®] process variables in digital form. The process indicator does not require an external power supply. It is powered directly from the current loop. 

The device meets the requirements of the HART® Communication Protocol Specifications and can be used with devices with HART[®] Revision ≥ 5.0 and higher. 

The LC display is easy to read even in bright sunlight and enables 5-digit, scalable measured value display. In addition to measured value display, the associated value dimension and a bar graph can be easily configured with simple 3-key operation. 

The device can also be operated with backlighting where necessary. In such cases pay attention to the higher voltage drop. 

For certain Endress+Hauser sensors/transmitters, the RIA15 can be used to configure the sensors in addition to displaying measured values. For this, the RIA15 must be ordered with the corresponding option "Level" or "Analysis".

## Wiring with switchable backlighting 

An additional current-limited power source (e.g. active barrier from the Endress+Hauser RN product family) is required to implement switchable backlighting. This power source is used to supply the LED backlighting of up to seven RIA15 process indicators without generating an additional voltage drop in the measuring loop. The backlighting can be switched on and off using an external switch.
