Result: A change in specific gravity will be reflected in the mA output over a time period that is greater than
3 seconds. The exact time period is calculated by the transmitter according to internal algorithms which are
not configurable.

Action
mA Output Fault Action controls the behavior of the mA output if the transmitter encounters an internal
fault condition.
Note
For some faults only: If Fault Timeout is set to a non-zero value, the transmitter will not implement the fault
action until the timeout has elapsed.
Procedure
1. Set mA Output Fault Action to the desired value.
The default setting is Downscale.
Restriction
If Digital Communications Fault Action is set to NAN (not a number), you cannot set mA Output Fault
Action to None. If you try to do this, the device will not accept the configuration.
2. If you set mA Output Fault Action to Upscale or Downscale, set mA Output Fault Level as desired.
Postrequisites
NOTICE
If you set mA Output Fault Action to None, be sure to set Digital Communications Fault Action to None. If
you do not, the output will not report actual process data, and this may result in measurement errors or
unintended consequences for your process.
Options for mA Output Fault Action and mA Output Fault Level
