16.16 Check Frequency Output Fault Action
The Frequency Output Fault Action controls the behavior of the Frequency Output if the transmitter
encounters an internal fault condition. If the Frequency Output is reporting a constant value, the transmitter
may be in a fault condition.
Procedure
1. Check the status alerts for active fault conditions.
2. If there are active fault conditions, the transmitter is performing correctly. If you want to change its
behavior, change the setting of Frequency Output Fault Action.
3. If there are no active fault conditions, continue troubleshooting.
16.17 Check the scaling of the Frequency Output
If the process variable assigned to the Frequency Output goes to a value that would set the Frequency Output
to a signal below 0 Hz or above 12500 Hz, the meter will post an Output Saturated alert for the affected
output, then perform the configured fault action.
Procedure
1. Record your current process conditions.
2. Adjust the scaling of the Frequency Output.
16.18 Check grounding
A 9-wire remote mount transmitter and sensor must be grounded.
Prerequisites
You will need an:
• Installation manual for your sensor
• Installation manual for your transmitter (remote-mount installations only)
Procedure
Refer to the sensor and transmitter installation manuals for grounding requirements and instructions.
