Diagnostic warning and error messages 
All values acquired during diagnostics or a wiring error can trigger warnings or error messages. 
Warnings are displayed in the 4th display line only. In case of an error, in addition to the signal in the 4th display line, the switch 
output (‘General alarm’ setting or ‘ext. Diag. Alarm’ is set to the alarm condition. 
To activate this option, select in the submenu ‘Diagnosis / Alarm Settings’ whether the error or warning is triggered in the event of 
up-scale or down-scale of the specified range. To check for wiring errors, you can activate this function in the ‘Diagnostics / Wiring 
Error’ submenu. 
For additional information, refer to the relevant error registers. These can be selected or called up in the ‘Display’ or ‘Status’ submenu 
 
The error registers for diagnostic values are structured as follows: 
 
Error / Warning: Limit value up-scale (max.) while transmitter is powered-up. 
 
 
 / Warning: Limit value down-scale (min.) while transmitter is powered-up. 
Error: Number of current limit value up-scales (max.). 
 
 
 Number of current limit value down-scales (min.). 
Warning: Number of current limit value up-scales (max.). 
 
 
 Number of current limit value down-scales (min.). 
 
The display      EMx  _R______B__ indicates for example a max. alarm in the current values for the coil resistance and electrode balance. 
 
The error registers for wiring errors are structured as follows: 
ID code  Set  Off  Designation 
 
 
M  −  Coil short-circuit to ground 
                        E  −  Wiring error for electrodes
