4.5.3 Diagnostic Messages 
The UDC2500 performs background tests to verify data and memory integrity. If there is 
a malfunction, a diagnostic message will be shown on the lower display. In the case of 
more than one simultaneous malfunction, only the highest priority diagnostic message 
will be displayed. Table 4-4 shows the error messages in order by priority. If any of these 
diagnostic messages appear on the lower display, refer to Section 7 - Troubleshooting for 
information on how to correct the problem. 
Table 4-4 Diagnostic Messages 
Prompt  Description 
EE FAIL 
Unable to write to non-volatile memory. 
IN1FL 
Two consecutive failures of input 1 integration. 
IN2FL 
Two consecutive failures of input 2 integration. 
CFGERR 
Configuration Errors—Low limit greater than high limit for PV, SP, Reset, or 
Output. 
IN1RNG 
Input 1 Out-of-Range 
 Out-of-range criteria: 
    Linear range: ± 10 % out-of-range 
    Characterized range: ± 1 % out-of-range 
IN2RNG 
Input 2 Out-of-Range—Same as Input 1. 
PV LIM 
PV Out-of-Range 
PV = (PV source x PV source ratio) + PV source bias 
FAILSF 
Failsafe — conditions for failsafe are: 
  … EEROM Test Failed 
  … Scratch Pad RAM Test Failed 
  … Configuration Test Failed 
  … Field or Factory Cal Test Failed 
Check the “Status” group. 
RV LIM 
Remote Variable Out-of-Range 
RV = (RV source x RV source ratio) + RV source bias 
SEG ERR 
Segment Error—SP Program starting segment number is less than ending 
segment number. 
LOCK 
The lockout feature has been enabled to prevent unauthorized changes of 
certain functions or parameters. 
TCWARN 
Thermocouple sensor is starting to burnout.* 
TCFAIL 
Thermocouple sensor is in imminent danger of burning out.* 
OUT1 FL 
Current Output 1 is less than 3.5 mA.** 
OUT2 FL 
Current Output 2 is less than 3.5 mA.** 
*   The Thermocouple Error messages can be disabled via the TCDIAG configuration in the DISPLAY setup group. 
**   The Current Output Error messages can be disabled via the DIAGAL configuration in the ALARM setup group.
