3.3.3 Diagnostics Display
The diagnostics display shows a list of the device diagnostic codes recorded as a result of the meter self-
test diagnostics during start-up and operation. When there are recorded diagnostic messages, the “i”
diagnostic LED on the front display briefly flashes two times to indicate that the meter may require
servicing.
The diagnostic LED can be disabled or enabled via the display setup menu (see Configuring the Display).
Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to scroll through the diagnostic message list. See Device Diagnostic
Codes in Appendix G for the list of diagnostic codes and their meanings.
Frequent hardware failures may be the result of excessive electrical noise in the region of the device. If
the meter continuously resets itself, contact your local distributor.
A configuration reset may also be a result of the legal changes in the meter configuration when other
configuration data is affected by the changes.
The diagnostics codes are stored in a non-volatile register, which is not affected by loss of power and may
be cleared via communications (see Viewing and Clearing Device Diagnostics in Chapter 6) or from the
meter display.
To clear the meter diagnostics:
1. Select a diagnostics page.
2. While holding the SELECT button, press and hold the ENTER button for about 5 seconds until
the diagnostic message is reset to none.
