Emerson Rosemount5081 - Troubleshooting Common Symptoms

Troubleshooting WritE Err
Check the position of jumper JP1 on the CPU board. If the jumper is hanging off one of the
pins, place it across both pins. If the jumper is missing entirely, use jumper JP3 (50/60 Hz),
which is not a critical jumper. There are similar numbered jumpers on the analog board. The
jumper to be checked is on the CPU board, which is the center board in the stack. Turn the
power to the transmitter off and then back on.
• Toggling the power should cause the message to disappear.
• If the message does not disappear, replace the electronic board stack.
FACt FAIL error message
FACt FAIL means the unit has not been factory calibrated. Call the factory. The transmitter
will probably need to be returned to the factory for calibration.
