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
CAUTION!
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
Options for mA Output Fault Action and mA Output Fault LevelTable 6-3:
Option mA output behavior mA Output Fault Level
Upscale Goes to the configured fault level Default: 21.5 mA
Range: 21.0 to 21.5 mA
Downscale (default) Goes to the configured fault level Default: 3.2 mA
Range: 3.2 to 3.6 mA
Internal Zero Goes to the mA output level associated
with a process variable value of 0 (zero),
as determined by Lower Range Value and
Upper Range Value settings
Not applicable
None Tracks data for the assigned process vari-
able; no fault action
Not applicable
Integrate the meter with the control system
Configuration and Use Manual 83
