Device does not respond
• Possible cause: Supply voltage does not match the specification on the nameplate
Remedial action: Apply the correct voltage
• Possible cause: The polarity of the supply voltage is wrong
Remedial action: Correct the polarity
• Possible cause: The cables do not contact the terminals properly
Remedial action: Check the electrical contact between cables and correct if necessary
Values not visible on the display
• Possible cause: Contrast setting is too weak or too strong
Remedial action: Increase the contrast setting (make screen darker) by pressing  and
 simultaneously
Remedial action: Decrease the contrast setting (make screen brighter) by pressing  and
 simultaneously
• Possible cause: The plug of the display cable is not connected correctly
Remedial action: Connect the plug correctly
• Possible cause: Display is defective
Remedial action: Replace the display
No backlighting on the display

• Possible cause: Communication resistor missing or incorrectly installed
Remedial action: Install the communication resistor (250 Ω) correctly
• Possible cause: Commubox is connected incorrectly
Remedial action: Connect Commubox correctly
• Possible cause: Commubox is not set to "HART"
Remedial action: Set selector switch of Commubox to "HART"
Communication via CDI interface not working
Possible cause: Wrong setting of the COM port on the computer
Remedial action: Check the setting of the COM port on the computer and correct it if
necessary
