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.
