Output.
1 Current Loop Monitoring  Enable or disable the monitoring of the
4-20 mA current signal. Monitoring checks whether the set cur-
rent is actually flowing in the current loop, and signals an error
if any deviation is detected.
You have the following setting options:
• ENABLED
Monitoring is enabled (default setting).
Unless there are compelling reasons, you should keep this set-
ting. The setting is automatically enabled when the Safety
Mode is selected.
• DISABLED
Monitoring is disabled. The HART Communicator outputs a cor-
responding message.
Tip
In case of a gross deviation or loose contact, monitoring may have
the effect that the fault condition can only be reset by a software
reset. The software reset menu can be done in the menu Service
(Device Config  Setup  Service  Reset Device, page 3-
363) or by turning the power supply off and then on again.
2 Loop Alarm Type  Here you specify the fault current, i.e. the current that is to be
output in case of error.
IMPORTANT
In Safety Mode, only the values High and Low are possible.
You have the following setting options:
• High
In case of error the current output is set to >21mA.
• Low
In case of error the current output is set to <3.6mA.
• Hold Last Value
In case of error the current output holds the last measured
value.
• Value
In case of error, the current output is set to the current value,
which is set in Error Current Value.
