seconds. If this alert is indicated, check the instrument
supply pressure. If the failure persists, ensure the
printed wiring board assembly is properly mounted
onto the Module Base Assembly, and the pressure
sensor O-rings are properly installed. If the alert does
not clear after restarting the instrument, replace the
printed wiring board assembly.
Note
The pressure sensor alert is used for
output A, output B, and the supply
pressure sensor. Check the pressure
values to see which sensor is causing
the alert.
Temperature Sensor
Temperature Sensor Alert—This alert is indicated
when the instrument temperature sensor fails, or the
sensor reading is outside of the range of
−
40 to 85
C
(
−
40 to 185
F). The temperature reading is used
internally for temperature compensation of inputs. If
this alert is indicated, restart the instrument and see if
it clears. If it does not clear, replace the printed wiring
board assembly.
Environment— If an environment alert is active
it will appear under ENVIRO ALERTS.
Supply Pressure
Supply Pressure Lo Alert—This alert is indicated
when supply pressure is lower than the configured
limit.
Auxiliary Terminal Alert
Aux Terminal Alert—This alert is set when the
auxiliary input terminals are either open or closed,
depending upon the selection for the Auxiliary Input
Alert State.
Loop Current Validation Alert— This alert is
activated if the loop current is out of valid range. If the
control system is known to output currents outside of
this range, the loop current shutdown should not be
enabled. If this alert is indicated, clear the alert by
restarting the instrument with the loop current verified
to be in the valid range. If the alert does not clear,
replace the printed wiring board. Only available in
firmware 9, 10, and 11.
Travel— If a travel alert is active it will appear
under TRAVEL ALERTS.
