13 Troubleshooting
13.1 Overview
The transmitter continuously monitors itself and the sensor for problems. When the
transmitter identifies a problem, the word warning or fault appears intermittently at
the bottom of the display. To read a fault or warning message and troubleshooting
information, press INFO.
See Section 13.2.
Warning
The instrument or sensor is usable, but you should take steps as soon as
possible to correct the condition causing the warning. Warning messages can
be turned off. To turn off warning messages, go to the main menu and choose
Display setup. Scroll to the Warning tab and turn off warning messages.
Fault
The measurement is seriously in error and is not to be trusted. A fault
condition might also mean that the transmitter has failed. Correct fault
conditions immediately. When a fault occurs, the analog output goes to
22.00 mA or to the value programmed in Section 7.2. Fault messages cannot
be turned off.
