8.11.5 Configuring the digital fault indicator
The transmitter can indicate fault conditions using a digital fault indicator. Table 8-12 lists the options
for the digital fault indicator.
To configure the digital fault indicator:
• Using ProLink II, see Figure C-3.
• Using the Communicator, see Figure C-8.
Note: By default, the transmitter immediately reports a fault when a fault is encountered. You can
delay reporting faults by changing the fault timeout. See Section 8.9.
Note: This functionality is not available via the display menus.
8.11.6 Configuring burst mode
Burst mode is a specialized mode of communication during which the transmitter regularly broadcasts
HART digital information over the mA output. Burst mode is ordinarily disabled, and should be
enabled only if another device on the network requires burst mode communication.
To configure burst mode:
• Using ProLink II, see Figure C-3.

Upscale Upscale • Process variables indicate that the value is
greater than the upper sensor limit.
• Totalizers stop incrementing.
Downscale Downscale • Process variables indicate that the value is less
than the lower sensor limit.
• Totalizers stop incrementing.
Zero IntZero-All 0 • Flow rate variables go to the value that
represents zero flow. Density is reported as zero.
• Temperature is reported as 0 °C, or the
equivalent if other units are used (e.g., 32 °F).
• Totalizers stop incrementing.
Not-A-Number (NAN) Not-a-Number • Process variables report IEEE NAN.
• Drive gain is reported as measured.
• Modbus scaled integers are reported as Max Int.
• Totalizers stop incrementing.
Flow to Zero IntZero-Flow 0 • Flow rate variables go to the value that
represents zero flow;
• Other process variables are reported as
measured.
• Totalizers stop incrementing.
None (default) None • Process variables are reported as measured.
• Totalizers increment if they are running.
