most common operating problems. If a malfunction is suspected despite the absence of
any diagnostic messages on the Field Communicator or host, follow the procedures
described here to verify that transmitter hardware and process connections are in good
working order.
5.2.2 LCD display diagnostics
In addition to output, the LCD display shows 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 HART host to
further interrogate the transmitter. A description of each LCD display diagnostic message
follows.
Error messages
An error indicator message appears on the LCD display to warn of serious problems
affecting the operation of the transmitter. The LCD display shows an error message until
the error condition is corrected; ERROR appears at the bottom of the display.
Warning messages
Warning messages appear on the LCD display to alert the user of user-repairable problems
with the transmitter, or current transmitter operations. Warning messages appear
alternately with other transmitter information until the warning condition is corrected or
the transmitter completes the operation that warrants the warning message.
