Procedure #5 
Table 7-9 explains how to troubleshoot Current/Time or Time/Current Proportional 
Output failure. 
Table 7-9  Troubleshooting Current/Time or Time/Current Proportional 
Output Failure 
Step  What to do  How to do it 
1 
Make sure the controller is configured 
for Time/Current or Current/Time 
Proportional output. 
Make Output Algorithm Set Up group function 
prompt OUT ALG = TCUR or CURT. 
Refer to Section 3 – Configuration. 
2 
Check the field wiring.  Make sure the NO or NC contact wiring selection 
is correct. 
Refer to Section 2 - Installation for details. 
3 
Check the relay output.  Put the controller into Manual mode. Vary the 
output above and below the present value. 
Observe OUT1 indicator on the operator interface.  
Listen for a click from the relay when the OUT1 
indicator changes state. 
4 
Check the Current Proportional 
Output. 
Put the controller into Manual mode and change 
the output from 0 % to 100 % (4-20 mA). Use a DC 
milliammeter at the rear terminals to verify the 
output. 
5 
Recalibrate the controller.  Refer to Section 6 - Output Calibration for details. 
6 
Change MCU and/or Current Output 
boards. 
Installation instructions supplied with new board.
