10.3 Diagnosis, fault messages
The 360° status indication on the device indicates the operating
status of the device (display according to NE 107). At the same time it
indicates the switching state of the output. This enables simple on-site
diagnosis without the need for tools.

10.4 Status messages according to NE 107
The instrument features self-monitoring and diagnostics according
to NE 107 and VDI/VDE 2650. In addition to the status messages in
the following tables there are more detailed error messages available
under the menu item " Diagnostics" via DTM or app.
The status messages are divided into the following categories:
•
Failure
•
Function check
•
Outofspecication
•
Maintenance required
and explained by pictographs:
