self-diagnostics on a device and check for incorrect 
data settings.
(1)  Using DD and DTM
The Self test and Status commands are available 
for self-diagnostics. When Self test is run, the 
display unit shows an error code and alarm 
message if the device detects any illegal parameter 
settings or functional faults.

If no error is detected, “Self test OK” is displayed on 
thecongurationtool.

check, you can directly call up the item by using the 
Status command. 
The status is categorized from 1 to 7. Read the 
table at the end of Section 9.9.

• Procedure to call up the Status display
[Root Menu]→Diagnosis/Service→Test/Status→
Status→Statusgroup1
If no error is detected, “Off” is displayed on the 
congurationtool.
If there is an error, “On” is displayed on the 
congurationtool,andacountermeasureforthat
error is necessary.
Example of display:  Span > 10 m/s  On
  Span < 0.3 m/s  Off
  TTL > 10000 p/s  Off
  TTL < 0.0001 p/s  Off
  4-20 Lmt Err  Off

NOTE
Fixed current output, Flow Simulation Mode, 
and Device Variable Simulation Function 
continue for a given holding time, then is 
released automatically. Even if the HART 
congurationtoolpowersupplyisturnedoffor
the communication cable is disconnected, the 
test output will continue for that time. 
The holding time can be selected from 10 min, 
30 min*, 60 min, 3 hour, 6 hour or 12 hour.
