D-5
Model 268 Communicator
Message Description
SAFE Mem not compatible with WORK REGS–Data not
transferred. The unique identifier in the Safe Memory and the transmitter are
different. Press F4, REVIEW, F2 to see the data in the Safe Memory.
Connect the Model 268 to the matching transmitter. Press RESTART.
WARN–Used nearest legal table value. The value entered has too many decimal places. The Model 8800
defaults to the closest value available.
WARN–Value at limit reverse direction. The entered value is beyond the upper or lower limit. Adjust to a value
within the limits.
WARN–Value entered is illegal, re-enter. The Model 268 will not accept the entered value. Enter an acceptable
value (see relevant section in manual).
WARN–Value out of limits, altered by 268, re-check data. The Model 268 could not store the entered value so it changed to the
maximum allowable value. Check the new value.
WARNING–Analog output outside range points. Process variable information is outside the 4-20 mA range points.
Rerange the flowmeter.
WARNING–Control loop should be in manual. Before sending the data that could affect the 4–20 mA output signal,
set the loop to manual control. After it is set, press F4.
WARNING–Data transmission error. Previous communication between Model 268 and the flowmeter was
not successful. If this message appears repeatedly, check the loop for
a source of noise that could corrupt the signal.
WARNING–Loop may be returned to auto. After completing a communication that required the loop to be set in
manual, you may.
WARNING–Match XMTR S/N to nameplate S/N. Check to be sure that the entered flowmeter serial number is the
same as that on the flowmeter nameplate.
WARNING–Not on line. The key you have pressed is not applicable for off-line configuration
tasks.
WARNING–Process has been aborted. Indicates that the self-test has been aborted by pressing any key.
WARNING–PV out of range. Process variable information of the flowmeter exceeds sensor limits.
Check flow rate. If it is too high, correct the flow. If not, the sensor has
a malfunction and needs to be replaced.
WARNING–Some of the changes were not saved in the XMTR
mem. Flowmeter did not receive all configuration changes. Note differences
in configuration data and reconfigure the flowmeter accordingly.
WARNING–This address already being used. Another transmitter is already using the entered multi-drop address.
Enter a new address.
WARNING–This will erase work reg. Data in the Working Register will be replaced with data from a
another location.
WARNING–XMTR/268 not in communication. Model 268 did not get answer from flowmeter:
• Check connections.
• Check that power is reaching flowmeter.
• Check for minimum 250 ohms resistance in loop.
WARNING–XMTR in output mode. During start-up and restart, the transmitter milliamp output does not
reflect the process variable. Press F4.
WARNING–XMTR is
not communicating. Model 268 did not get answer from flowmeter:
• Check connections.
• Check that power is reaching flowmeter.
• Check for minimum 250 ohms resistance in loop.
WARNING–268 does not know this XMTR. Model 268 recognizes a Rosemount transmitter in the loop but
cannot communicate with it. The message usually indicates a
software revision level incompatibility between the Model 268 and the
transmitter.
XMTR Mem diff than WORK Regs–XMTR not changed. Data in the Working Register and in the flowmeter have different
unique identifiers. The Model 268 was probably connected to
different flowmeter without RESTART or power-off/power-on
sequence. Press RESTART to erase the Working Register or save
the Working Register to the Off-line Memory and download to the
proper flowmeter at a later time.
XMTR Security: On–XMTR will not accept changes to memory. Flowmeter lockout security switch is ON and electronics will not
accept changes to configuration. Reset switch to remove this
message.
