General Precautions and Battery Safety

General Precautions

The equipment’s protection may be compromised, if the equipment is not installed in the manner specified by Honeywell.
The safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
Clean only with a soft damp cloth.
General Battery Safety
Only use the approved batteries listed. Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package. Using other batteries may void the hazardous location certification of the device.
Replace all the modem batteries at the same time. The replacement of a partial set or mixing of batteries from the different chemical systems exposes the device to the possibility of electrolyte leakage and damage through over- discharge of the lower capacity batteries.
Only recharge NiMH batteries that are designed specifically to be recharged. Do not recharge Alkaline batteries. It can cause leakage or rupture in rare cases.
Do not heat or open batteries. It may cause a risk of chemical burns or battery ruptures in rare cases.
Replace the batteries as soon as their performance becomes unsatisfactory.
Before installing fresh batteries, ensure that the contact surfaces in the modem battery compartment are visually clean and bright.
The batteries should be removed from the modem if they are not used for an extended period of time. The modem consumes a small amount of power while the batteries are installed, and the modem is in sleep mode.
Recycle or dispose of batteries only in accordance with local regulations.

Hazardous Locations
The VCON1 and VCON2 Honeywell Versatilis Communication Interface (including the cables, belt clip, hanging strap, and carry case) are approved for hazardous locations according to the CSA (Canada & USA), IECEx, UKCA, and ATEX. The battery charger, USB cable, and other included accessories not specifically listed are not approved for use in hazardous areas. See the documentation of the tablet device separately for hazardous locations information and conditions of use.

Application Best Practices

Configuration Database Coordination
In a HART network, there can be a primary host (ex: a DCS host) connected to the same device along with the Configurator App (a secondary host). In such a network, the user should coordinate with the primary host user to avoid data conflicts. When a parameter changes in one host, the other host may be alerted to a configuration change but will not know which parameter changed. It is then necessary to refresh any cached data. For this reason, the user should always coordinate changes with both hosts to avoid conflicts and to determine when it is prudent to reload cached or locally stored values.
Security Considerations
Security and Limitations
Honeywell Versatilis, like all handheld configurators, is intended to be used as an occasional offline service and diagnostic tool for field devices. It is not intended to be used as a component of a process infrastructure for the purpose of continuous monitoring and control. The Honeywell Versatilis configurator is a pass-through device that does not support user authentication or authorization and only supports a limited audit trail. It is the responsibility of the end-user to establish measures that are designed to deny unauthorized access and ensure the physical security of the Honeywell Versatilis and relevant field devices.
A user must assess security considerations for the use of a mobility device within a process area and provide necessary restrictions on the use of the mobility device with other applications and network connections.
Bluetooth Connection Security
The Configurator application and mobile device are paired to the Modem using Secured Simple Pairing to establish a key for data encryption. The Bluetooth Serial Port Profile is then used as a standard interface to the Honeywell Versatilis applications with data passed between the tablet and the modem using the encryption key generated during the pairing process.
Pairing to the modem requires physical access as the pairing mode is only enabled for a short time period after powering the modem. To minimize opportunities for pairing of the modem to unauthorized host devices, the user should turn off the modem and disconnect it from any transmitter when not in use.
For security assessment, the wired connection of the modem to a transmitter as well as powering on the modem are regarded as physical interactions by a local user to authorize access.
Windows 10 IOT Enterprise SAC
Windows 10 IOT SAC (Semi-Annual Servicing Channel) feature updates are available as soon as Microsoft releases them, typically every six months. Each feature update release will be supported and offer quality updates for 18 months from the time of its release. For more information on Windows 10 IOT SAC, please consult Microsoft.
The tablet security settings are preconfigured in accordance with CIS* level 1 policies. These policies are intended to lower the risk of security issues while keeping the device usable for most business applications. Next Generation Windows Security-related best practice recommendations are applied for kernel mode integrity. Windows Defender Application Guard maintains Microsoft standard configuration.  The user may require additional security settings based on their specific application. It is up to the user to fully evaluate security concerns for the use of the tablet in the intended application and trust zone.

Honeywell Versatilis Configurator Application Security
The Configurator app does not collect or use any personal information.
Application Logs
Open the Configurator app, tap settings > log level. From the dropdown list, select the log levels. The Configurator app supports different log levels:

• Information
• Debug
• Error
• Warning

The Configurator app captures (the interactions with the modem, runtime errors & connectivity problems, exceptions & failures, submission of user-generated content and modification of configuration files) based on the log level selection/configured. It is advised to share or review the logs with Honeywell, if any recent configuration changes may have adversely affected application operation. For more information on log levels, see Honeywell Versatilis Configurator product manual.

User General Responsibilities
The user shall understand that:

1. No network, system, device, hardware, software, or component can be fully secure.
2. The user is responsible for the evaluation of security requirements based on content and use in the deployed environment.
3. The user understands that threats and security best practices will evolve over time, and it is the user’s responsibility to maintain necessary security for their devices and applications.
4. For better user experience, it is recommended not to install the Honeywell Versatilis Configurator App on rooted platforms.
5. The user should follow best practices for the respective platforms for operating system updates. For Android platforms, the user may create a Google account to maintain platform security.
