M283 Memory
content
• Cause as indicated for F283.
• Correct measurement can continue as long as you do
not need the peakhold indicator function.
• Perform a reset
• Replace electronics
M431 Adjustment The adjustment performed would cause the sensor
nominal range to be exceeded or undershot.
• Check the measuring
range
• Check position
adjustment
• Check the setting
M434 Scaling • Values for adjustment (e.g. lower range value and
upper range value) are too close together.
• Lower-range value and/or upper-range value exceed
or fall below the range limits of the sensor.
• The sensor was replaced and the customer-specific
configuration does not suit the sensor module.
• Unsuitable download carried out.
• Check the measuring
range
• Check the setting
• Contact Endress+Hauser
Service
M438 Data set • The supply voltage is disconnected when writing.
• An error occurred when writing.
• Check the setting
• Restart device
• Replace electronics

S822 Process temp.
LP/HP
• The temperature measured in the sensor module
is greater than the upper nominal temperature
of the sensor module.
• The temperature measured in the sensor module
is smaller than the lower nominal temperature
of the sensor module.
• Check temperature
• Check the setting
