Restart Options
WARNING
Restarting the instrument may cause loss of process control. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the
release of pressure of process fluid, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both sides of the valve or
bleed off the process fluid.
You can restart the instrument to reset parameters, links, etc. within the instrument. However, due to the effect that a
restart can have on the instrument, and therefore the control loop, restarting the instrument should be used
cautiously and only as a last measure.
There are two different restarts: Restart Processor and Restart with Defaults.
When selecting either of these options, Restart informs you of the consequences of this action and asks if you want to
continue. Select Yes to perform the restart action, select No to select another action or exit. Restart informs you when
the restart is completed. You must acknowledge the message to continue.
Warm Start (Restart Processor)— Performing a Restart Processor has the same effect as removing power from the
instrument and re‐applying power. Configuration and calibration do not change.
Cold Start (Restart with Defaults)— Performing a Restart with Defaults should be done with care. This restart resets
most of the static and non‐volatile parameters for all of the blocks in the instrument to their initial value. After a
Restart with Defaults, you should place the instrument in service (the transducer block mode to auto) and run Device
Setup and download the instrument configuration from the control system to properly setup the instrument. You also
may need to re‐establish communication links and trends.
