Troubleshooting
Due to the many features and functions of the meter,
it’s possible that the setup of the meter does not
agree with what an operator expects to see. If the
meter is not working as expected, refer to the
Diagnostics menu and consult the recommendations
described below.
Diagnostics Menu (diag)
The Diagnostics menu is located in the Advanced
Features Menu, to access Diagnostics menu see
Advanced Features Menu, page 28.
It provides an easy way to view the programmed
parameter settings for troubleshooting purposes.
Press the Enter/Ack button to view the settings and
the Menu button to exit at any time.
For a description of the diagnostics messages see
Advanced Features Menu & Display Messages,
page 28.

3. Press and hold Right arrow/Reset for five
seconds, press Enter/Ack when display

three seconds, display returns to Diagnostics

sequence (same as on power-up) and loads
the factory default settings.
