9.4.1 Configure Fault Timeout
ProLink III Device Tools > Configuration > Fault Processing
Field Communicator Configure > Alert Setup > Alert Severity > Fault Timeout
Overview
Fault Timeout controls the delay before fault actions are performed.
Restriction
Fault Timeout is applied only to the following alerts (listed by Status Alert Code): A003, A004, A008,
A016, A033. For all other alerts, fault actions are performed as soon as the alert is detected.
Procedure
Set Fault Timeout as desired.
The default value is 0 seconds. The range is 0 to 60 seconds.
If you set Fault Timeout to 0, fault actions are performed as soon as the alert condition is
detected.
The fault timeout period begins when the transmitter detects an alert condition. During
the fault timeout period, the transmitter continues to report its last valid measurements.
If the fault timeout period expires while the alert is still active, the fault actions are
performed. If the alert condition clears before the fault timeout expires, no fault actions
are performed.
