11.3 Diagnostic information on the local display
The diagnostic message consists of a diagnostic code and a message text.
The diagnostic code consists of the error category as per Namur NE 107 and the message
number.
Error category (letter in front of the message number)
• F = Failure. A malfunction has been detected.
The measured value of the affected channel is no longer reliable. The cause of the
malfunction is to be found in the measuring point. Any control system connected should
be set to manual mode. An alarm relay can be assigned to this error category in the
Advanced setup.
• M = Maintenance required. Action must be taken as soon as possible.
The device still measures correctly. Immediate measures are not necessary. However,
proper maintenance efforts would prevent a possible malfunction in the future.
• S = Out of specification. The measuring point is being operated outside specifications.
Operation is still possible. However, you run the risk of increased wear, shorter operating
life or lower measurement accuracy. The cause of the problem is to be found outside the
measuring point.
• C = Function check. The device is in Service mode.
