ERROR MESSAGES
5 - 5
TEMP SLOPE
WARNING
TB82
High or low temperature
slope
Verify sensor wiring connections and
inspect cable for shorts. Remove all poten-
tial shorts to ground, conduit or metals.
Verify that sensor had 10 to 15 min. to accli-
mate to temperature environment to which it
was calibrated.
Disconnect temperature compensator leads
from transmitter and measure resistance.
Replace sensor with spare when transmitter
does not accept calibration values.

CALIBRATION
REQUIRED
PTS
Cell has not been
calibrated with present
amplifier assembly.
Calibrate the field device. Refer to the
calibration section of the appropriate PTS
pressure transmitter instruction.
EQS
Field device needs to be
calibrated.
Calibrate the field device. Refer to the
calibration section of the appropriate
EQS temperature transmitter instruction.
