8.9.2 Fault timeout
If a fault is detected, the transmitter always sets the “alarm active” status bit immediately. For some
faults only (see Table 8-7), fault actions for the transmitter outputs and digital communications are not
implemented until the fault timeout expires. During the fault timeout, outputs continue to report their
last measured value.
The default fault timeout value is
0.
To configure fault timeout:
• Using ProLink II, see Figure C-2. You may use either the Analog Output panel or the
Frequency Output panel. Only one value is stored. If you change the fault timeout in one panel,
the value displayed in the other panel is changed automatically.
• Using the Communicator, see Figure C-8.
Note: This functionality is not available via the display menus.
8.10 Configuring the display
If your transmitter has a display, you can configure a variety of parameters that control the display
functionality.
8.10.1 Update period
The Update Period (or Display Rate) parameter controls how often the display is refreshed with
current data. The default is 200 milliseconds; the range is 100 milliseconds to 10,000 milliseconds (10
seconds).

(1) Applies only to systems with the original version of the meter verification application.
(2) Applies only to systems with Smart Meter Verification.
(3) If outputs are set to Last Measured Value, severity is Info. If outputs are set to Fault, severity is Fault.
(4) Can be set to either Info or Ignore, but cannot be set to Fault.
