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 (Loop 1) or OUT3 
indicator (Loop 2) on the operator interface. 
Contact should change state. 0 % open, 100 % 
closed. Listen for a click from the relay when the 
OUT1 or OUT3 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 or 0-20 mA). 
Use a DC milliammeter at the rear terminals to 
verify the output. 
5 
Recalibrate the controller.  Refer to Section 
1 – Output Calibration for details
. 
6 
Change Current Output or Relay 
board.
