Failure Mode vs.
Saturation Output Values
The failure mode alarm output levels differ from the output values that occur
when the operating flow is outside the range points. When the operating flow
is outside the range points, the analog output continues to track the operating
flow until reaching the saturation value listed below; the output does not
exceed the listed saturation value regardless of the operating flow. For
example, with standard alarm and saturation levels and flows outside the 4—
20 mA range points, the output saturates at 3.9 mA or 20.8 mA. When the
transmitter diagnostics detect a failure, the analog output is set to a specific
alarm value that differs from the saturation value to allow for proper
troubleshooting.

LCD Indicator Option If your electronics are equipped with the LCD indicator (Option M5), the
ALARM and SECURITY jumpers are located on the face of the indicator as
shown in Figure 2-6.
