GE IC660HHM501 Genius Hand-Held Monitor
Product Overview
The GE IC660HHM501 is a compact, rugged hand-held monitor (HHM) designed for GE’s Genius series industrial control systems, serving as a critical interface for operators to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot automation equipment in manufacturing, energy, and process industries. As a portable HMI, the IC660HHM501 enables real-time interaction with Genius Bus modules, controllers, and I/O devices, providing access to process data, diagnostic logs, and configuration settings without requiring a fixed operator station.
Engineered for versatility, the GE IC660HHM501 features a 4-line alphanumeric display with backlighting for visibility in low-light environments, such as factory floors or outdoor installations. It supports Genius Bus protocol communication, allowing seamless connectivity to controllers like IC697CPU780, analog modules such as IC660BBA100, and digital modules like IC660BBD020. The device operates on 3 AA batteries (or 24V DC external power) for up to 100 hours of continuous use, with a -20°C to 70°C operating range and IP65-rated housing that resists dust, water splashes, and oil—ideal for harsh settings like automotive plants or chemical refineries.
Within the Genius ecosystem, the IC660HHM501 simplifies on-site maintenance by enabling tasks such as module parameter adjustment, fault code reading, and bus network diagnostics. Its hot-connect capability allows safe connection to live systems without disrupting operations, reducing downtime during troubleshooting. Compliance with UL 508 and IEC 61131-2 standards underscores its reliability in regulated industries, where quick access to system data is essential for maintaining process efficiency and safety.

Main Features and Advantages
Portable Operator Interface
The IC660HHM501’s compact design (152mm × 89mm × 51mm) and 0.3 kg weight make it easy to carry, allowing operators to monitor equipment in hard-to-reach areas—such as the top of a water treatment tank or inside a robotic cell—without relying on fixed HMIs. Its backlit display ensures readability in dimly lit environments like power plant basements.
Versatile Power Options
Dual power sources (batteries or 24V DC) provide flexibility: batteries enable cordless operation for routine inspections, while external power supports extended troubleshooting sessions. The 100-hour battery life reduces downtime from frequent recharging, critical for shift-based operations in manufacturing plants.
Rugged Industrial Design
With an IP65 rating, the IC660HHM501 withstands dust, water splashes, and occasional drops (up to 1m). Its -20°C to 70°C operating range ensures functionality in freezing warehouses or hot steel mills, where consumer-grade devices would fail.
Comprehensive Diagnostics
The device reads real-time data from Genius Bus modules, including input/output status, fault codes, and configuration parameters. It can reset tripped relays, adjust setpoints (e.g., pressure thresholds in IC660BBA100), and verify network connectivity—reducing the need for laptop-based tools during maintenance.
Seamless Genius Integration
The IC660HHM501 communicates directly with the Genius Bus, enabling plug-and-play connectivity to controllers like IC697CPU780 and I/O modules. It supports up to 32 devices per network segment, making it suitable for large-scale systems such as automotive assembly lines with multiple robotic workstations.
Application Fields
The GE IC660HHM501 is indispensable in industries requiring on-the-go equipment monitoring and control:
- Automotive Manufacturing: Operators use it to troubleshoot robotic welders by checking input signals from proximity sensors (via IC660BBD020) and adjusting output setpoints for weld timers. Its portability allows quick checks across multiple assembly stations.
- Power Generation: Technicians monitor turbine vibration sensors (connected to IC660BBA100) and reset emergency stop relays, ensuring uninterrupted operation. The IP65 rating protects it from coolant splashes in turbine halls.
- Water Treatment: Operators adjust pump pressure setpoints (via analog outputs) and diagnose flow meter faults, using the HHM to read real-time data from remote sensor nodes without returning to a control room.
- Food Processing: Maintenance teams verify valve actuator status (digital outputs) and calibrate temperature sensors, leveraging the device’s ruggedness to withstand washdowns in hygiene-sensitive areas.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Ensure the Genius Bus network is powered and operational. Verify the 8-pin mini-DIN connector on the IC660HHM501 is clean and undamaged. For battery operation, insert 3 AA batteries (alkaline recommended) following polarity markings. For external power, connect to a 24V DC source via the auxiliary port, ensuring voltage tolerance (±10%). Test communication by connecting to a live module (e.g., IC660BBD020) and verifying data display.
Maintenance suggestions: Replace batteries when the low-power indicator illuminates to avoid data loss during use. Clean the display with a dry microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the IP65 seal. Inspect the connector quarterly for bent pins or corrosion, especially after use in humid environments. Update firmware annually using GE’s configuration software to ensure compatibility with newer Genius modules. Store the IC660HHM501 in its protective case when not in use to prevent physical damage.
