Error system
Transmitter system is equipped with an error and status log system with 4 groups of
information.
(I) Information - system will continue to measure as normal, relay and current outputs will not
be affected.
(W) Warning - system will continue to measure, but an event that may cause a system
malfunction and require operator attention has occurred. The cause of the error may
disappear on its own.
(P) Permanent error - may cause malfunction in the application and operator attention is
required.
(F) Fatal error - is essential for the operation of the flowmeter. Immediate operator attention
is required.
Two menus are available in service and operator menus for registration of information and
errors.
● Error pending
● Status log
Error pending
The first 9 pending errors are stored in the error pending list. When the error is corrected, it
is removed from the error pending list.
The acceptance level for "error pending" can be individually configured to a particular
application.
The acceptance level is set in the basic settings menu (Page 43).
