7. Read the mA current at the receiving device and compare it to the transmitter output.
The readings do not need to match exactly. If the values are slightly different, you can correct the
discrepancy by trimming the output.
8. Select UnFix mA.
Postrequisites
• If the mA Output readings are within 20 microamps of each other, you can correct this discrepancy by
trimming the output.
• If the discrepancy between the mA Output readings is greater than 20 microamps, or if at any step the
reading was faulty, verify the wiring between the transmitter and the remote device, and try again.
• You must end the test. It will not time out by itself. A power cycle will also end the test.
16.19.5 Perform a Frequency Output test using ProLinkIII
Prerequisites
Before performing a Frequency Output test, configure Channel B as a Frequency Output.
Follow appropriate procedures to ensure that testing will not interfere with existing measurement and control
loops.
Procedure
1. Choose Device Tools → Diagnostics → Testing and select the Frequency Output test.
2. Enter the Frequency Output value in Fix to.
3. Select Fix FO.
4. Read the frequency signal at the receiving device and compare it to the transmitter output.
5. Select UnFix FO.
Postrequisites
You must end the test. It will not time out by itself. A power cycle will also end the test.
16.19.6 Perform a Discrete Output tests using ProLinkIII
Prerequisites
Before performing a Discrete Output test, configure Channel B as a Discrete Output.
Follow appropriate procedures to ensure that testing will not interfere with existing measurement and control
loops.
Procedure
1. Choose Device Tools → Diagnostics → Testing → Discrete Output Test.
2. If your transmitter is configured for two or more Discrete Outputs, determine which Discrete Output
you want to test.
3. Set Fix To: to ON.
4. Verify the signal at the receiving device.
5. Set Fix To: to OFF.
6. Verify the signal at the receiving device.
7. Select UnFix.
Postrequisites
• If the Discrete Output readings are reversed, check the setting of Discrete Output Polarity.
