15.2.52 Watchdog Error
Alert
Electronics Failed
Cause
The watchdog timer has expired.
Recommended actions
1. Reboot or power-cycle the transmitter to see if the alert clears.
2. If the alert persists, replace the transmitter.
3. Contact customer support.
15.3 Transmitter does not communicate
If the transmitter does not appear to be communicating, the wiring may be faulty or the communications
device may be incompatible.
• For HART network communications, perform the procedures in later topic to be linked.
• For communication using a communication device, check the wiring and the communication device. Refer
to either Using ProLink III with the transmitter or Using a Field Communicator with the transmitter.
If you can read data from the transmitter but cannot write data (that is, you cannot start, stop or reset
totalizers or change transmitter configuration), check to see if the transmitter is write-protected, and disable
write-protection if required.
