4.1 Self-Diagnostics
4.1.1 Identify Problems by Using the
Communicator
The HART communicator can be used to run self-
diagnostics on a transmitter and check for incorrect
data settings.
The Self test and Status commands are available for
self-diagnostics. When Self test is run, the integral
indicator shows an error code and alarm message if the
transmitter detects any illegal parameter settings and
functional faults. See table 4.2.1 Alarm Message
Summary for probable causes and countermeasures. If
the specific diagnostic item is known for the check,
you can directly call up the item by using the Status
command. See table 4.2.1 to determine the status
group.
The HART communicator diagnoses every command
you make. When a faulty command or keypad input is
performed, an error message appears. See table 4.2.2
HART Commnicator Error Messages for the details.

4.1.2 Checking with Integral Indicator
If an error is detected by running self-diagnos-
tics, an error number is displayed on the integral
indicator. If there is more than one error, the
error number changes at three-second intervals.
See table 4.2.1 regarding the alarm codes.
