9.8.3 Warning Messages During Operation
1) Warning is displayed for 30s 
2) Converter must include the communication "HART-Protocol" option
3) Warning is only displayed when the function is called using a HART-Command
Warning Code & 
Clear Text Message
Priority Description Possible Causes Corrective Measures
Warning: 1
Q Simulation
2 Before starting the flowrate, a flowrate value can 
be simulated. The outputs correspond to the 
simulated value set. 
Simulation Mode turned on After the Simulation program has 
been completed, the parameter 
„Simulation Mode“ should be 
turned off.
Warning: 2
Totalizer reset
1 All totalizers (forward/reverse, difference and over-
flow counters) were reset
External totalizer reset was 
initiated 
Open switch at contact input 
(terminals 81, 82) 
Warning: 3
Test Mode
3 Only for testing a converter with Simulator 
55XC4000. 
Test Mode turned on After completing the Simulation 
test with the Simulator the 
parameter „Test Mode“ is to be 
turned off.
Warning: 4
Self Check
4 If with HART-Communication a contact output or 
contact input test was initiated, 
Warning "4" is displayed
Function test running After completing the self check 
test, exit the routine. 
Warning: 7
1)
Warning primary data 
loaded
9 Converter has recognized different flowmeter pri-
mary data and loaded it in the internal FRAM. 
Loaded are the system and flowmeter primary 
data
Defective FRAM, Repair 
instrument, replace 
instrument 
Record old totalizer values, 
totalizer should be reset.
Warning: 8a
1)
Update internal FRAM
10 Converter has recognized an error in the internal 
FRAM and has repaired the contents and data 
from the external FRAM 
Defective FRAM, Repair 
instrument, replace 
instrument 
Check the entry settings and 
correct, if required.
Warning: 8b
1)
Update external FRAM
11 Converter has recognized an error in the external 
FRAM and has repaired the contents and data 
from the internal FRAM 
Defective FRAM or data was 
changed.
Check the entry settings and 
correct, if required.
Warning: 9a
Overflow > Forward
5 The forward totalizer has reached the maximum 
count limit and has initiated a reset and incre-
mented the overflow counter. 
Max. count value exceeded, 
1 overflow is counted.
Reset totalizer if necessary.
Warning: 9b
Overflow < Reverse
6 The reverse totalizer has reached the maximum 
count limit and has initiated a reset and incre-
mented the overflow counter. 
Max. count value exceeded, 
1 overflow is counted.
Reset totalizer if necessary.
Overflow: 9c
Difference totalizer
7 The difference totalizer has reached the maximum 
count limit and has initiated a reset and increment-
ed the overflow counter. 
Max. count value exceeded, 
1 overflow is counted.
Reset totalizer if necessary.
Warning: 10
Reverse Q
8 If the forward flow direction is set and reverse flow 
occurs, this Warning is displayed
Flow direction is reverse, 
possibly a defective check 
valve.
Prevent reverse flow of change 
flow direction setting to forward/
reverse.
Warning: 11
2)
Instrument Address 
not zero
12 The HART Instrument Address was changed from 
0. Current output is frozen at 4 mA 
Address 1-15 selected. 
Therefore the current 
output frozen at 4 mA .
Select Address 0, if a 4-40 mA 
output is required.
Warning. 12a
2)3) 
Simulation Iout
13 Self Check current output. Check the value of the 
current at the connection terminals with a digital 
voltmeter or the process instrumentation. 
Function test, enter current 
output directly in mA for 
simulation.
Exit function test current output
Warning. 12b
2)3) 
Simulation pulse 
output
14 Self Check pulse output. Check the value of out-
put frequency with a counter.
Pulse output simulation 
turned on
Exit function test pulse output
Warning. 13
2)3) 
Automatic adjustment 
running
15 Warning displayed only in Service Code section 
when an adjustment has been initiated (only
accessible to ABB Service).
Only for 
ABB Service Personnel

16 Warning is only displayed when the function 
"Noise reduction" has been activated (only acces-
sible to ABB Service)
