Summary
Using the SCT in the on-line mode you can check the transmitter status,
identify diagnostic messages and access troubleshooting information so
you can clear fault conditions.
The SMV diagnostic messages fall into any one of the following general
categories:
• Status (Informational)
• Noncritical Status
• Critical Status
• Communications
Follow the steps in Table 30 to access diagnostic messages generated by
the SMV 3000 and procedures for clearing transmitter fault conditions.

Step Action
1
Connect the SCT to the SMV and establish communications. (See
Subsection 5.2 Establishing Communications for the procedure, if
necessary.)
2
Select the Status Tab Card (if not selected already) to display a
listing of the Gross Status and Detailed Status messages.
3
Refer to the SCT on-line user manual for descriptions of the status
messages and corrective actions to clear faults.
ATTENTION
When critical status forces PV output into failsafe condition, record the
messages before you cycle transmitter power OFF/ON to clear failsafe
condition.
