9.2.2 Perform an output diagnostic

This function allows to check on a measurement device (multimeter, regulator or automate) the proper functioning
of the outputs. The transmitter will generate a voltage (between 0 and 10 V) or a current (between 0 and 20 mA)
according to the setting of the type of output.
• For a 0-10 V output signal, the transmitter will generate 0 – 5 or 10 V.
• For a 0-5 V output signal, the transmitter will generate 0 – 2.5 or 5 V.
• For a 4-20 mA output signal, the transmitter will generate 4 – 12 or 20 mA.
• For a 0-20 mA output signal, the transmitter will generate 0 – 10 or 20 mA.
Before carrying out the output diagnostics, all connections and configurations of the transmitter
must be enabled, to avoid any damage on the transmitter and the measurement device.
• Select a channel for the outputs diagnostic.
OUT1, OUT2, OUT3 or OUT4 indicated on the electronic board above the terminal blocks.
• Connect a measurement device on the output 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Once the connection to the measurement device is complete, the output diagnostic on several check points can be
performed:
"I/O Configurations" menu is displayed.
• Tap "Outputs".
• Tap "Analog Outputs".
• Tap "Diagnostic" line.
• Tap the required value.
The values proposed will depend on the type of output previously selected. For example, if the output type
is 4-20 mA, proposed values will be 4 mA, 12 mA and 20 mA.
