Important
The transmitter reports all the process and device conditions that were reported by previous transmitters.
However, the transmitter does not report them as individual alerts. Instead, the transmitter reports them as
conditions associated with alerts.
Procedure
• To change the severity of an alert:
a) Choose Menu > Configuration > Alert Setup > Response to Alerts.
b) Select the alert.
c) Set Alert Severity as desired.
Option Description
Failure The event is serious enough to require fault actions by the transmitter. The event
may be either device-related or process-related. Operator action is strongly
recommended.
Function Check Configuration change or device testing. No fault actions are performed. The
operator may need to complete a procedure.
Out of Specification The process is outside user-specified limits or device limits. No fault actions are
performed. The operator should check the process.
Maintenance Required Device maintenance is recommended, either near-term or mid-term.
• To ignore an alert:
a) Choose Menu > Configuration > Alert Setup > Response to Alerts
b) Select the alert.
c) Set Alert Detection to Ignore.
If an alert is ignored, any occurrence of this alert is not posted to the alert list and the alert banner is not
shown on the display.
• To ignore a condition:
a) Choose Menu > Configuration > Alert Setup > Response to Alerts
b) Select the alert associated with the condition.
c) Select Condition Detection.
d) Select the condition and set it to Ignore.
If a condition is ignored, any occurrence of this condition is not posted to the alert list and the status LED
on the transmitter does not change color. The occurrence is posted to alert history.
7.2.2 Configure the transmitter's response to alerts using ProLink III
For some alerts, you can change the transmitter's response to an alert by setting the alert severity. You can
also configure the transmitter to ignore some alerts and conditions.
The transmitter implements the NAMUR NE 107 specification for alerts. NAMUR NE 107 categorizes alerts by
the suggested operator action, not by cause or symptom. Each alert has one or more associated conditions.
