An alert is a notification that the instrument has detected a problem. A shutdown is an action that the instrument
takes to drive the air output to the Zero Power Condition as per figure 3‐5. Some alerts can be configured to shutdown
the instrument. Refer to table 3‐8 for default alert and shutdown settings.
Alerts may be enabled or disabled with the instrument In Service, Out of Service, Protected, or Not Protected.
However, the instrument must be Not Protected to enable or disable a shutdown. Alerts are not processed when a
diagnostic is in progress.
If shutdown is enabled, and the alert is active, the instrument will latch in the shutdown state until power to the
instrument is cycled and the alert has cleared. While in the shutdown condition, HART communication will continue if
the instrument remains powered.
For a detailed explanation of the alerts and the recommended actions, refer to Section 5.
