The status LED is located on the user interface board (see Figures 2-1 and 2-2).

  • Page 70: Handling Status Alarms

    Using the Transmitter Handling status alarms Specific process or flowmeter conditions cause status alarms. Each status alarm has an alarm code. Status alarms are classified into three severity levels: Fault, Information, and Ignore. Severity level controls how the transmitter responds to the alarm condition. Note: Some status alarms can be reclassified, i.e., configured for a different severity level.

    Pressure Compensation, Temperature Compensation, and Polling 9.2.2 Pressure correction factors When configuring pressure compensation, you must provide the flow calibration pressure – the pressure at which the flowmeter was calibrated (which therefore defines the pressure at which there will be no effect on the calibration factor). Enter 20 PSI unless the calibration document for your sensor indicates a different calibration pressure.
