Diagnostic Messages

In addition to output, the LCD display displays abbreviated operation, error,
and warning messages for troubleshooting. Messages appear according to
their priority; normal operating messages appear last. To determine the cause
of a message, use a Field Communicator or AMS to further interrogate the
transmitter. A description of each LCD diagnostic message follows.
Error Indicator
An error indicator message appears on the LCD display to warn of serious
problems affecting the operation of the transmitter. The meter displays an
error message until the error condition is corrected, "ERROR" appears at the
bottom of the display, and analog output is driven to the specified alarm level.
No other transmitter information is displayed during an alarm condition.
FAIL MODULE
The SuperModule is malfunctioning. Possible sources of problems
include:
Pressure or temperature updates are not being received in the
SuperModule.
A non-volatile memory fault that will affect transmitter operation has been
detected in the module by the memory verification routine.
Some non-volatile memory faults are user-repairable. Use a Field
Communicator or AMS to diagnose the error and determine if it is
repairable. Any error message that ends in "Factory" is not repairable. In
cases of non-user-repairable errors, replace the SuperModule. See
"Disassembly Procedures" on page 5-3.
FAIL CONFIG
A memory fault has been detected in a location that could effect
transmitter operation, and is user-accessible. To correct this problem, use
a Field Communicator or AMS to interrogate and reconfigure the
appropriate portion of the transmitter memory.
Warnings
Warnings appear on the LCD display to alert you of user-repairable problems
with the transmitter, or current transmitter operations. Warnings appear
alternately with other transmitter information until the warning condition is
corrected or the transmitter completes the operation that warrants the warning
message.
PV LIMIT
The primary variable read by the transmitter is outside of the transmitter's
range.
NONPV LIMIT
A non-primary variable read by the transmitter is outside of the
transmitter's range.
CURR SAT
The primary variable read by the module is outside of the specified range,
and the analog output has been driven to saturation levels.
