Fault Action
mA Output Fault Action controls the behavior of the mA Output if the transmitter detects a fault condition.
Important
• The fault action is implemented only if Alert Severity is set to Failure. If Alert Severity is set to any other
option, the fault action is not implemented.
• For some faults only: If Fault Timeout is set to a non-zero value, the transmitter will not implement the
fault action until the timeout has elapsed.
Procedure
1. Set
mA Output Fault Action
as desired.
• Default: Downscale
Important
If you set mA Output Fault Action to None, the mA Output will be controlled by the setting of Process
Variable Fault Action
. In most cases, if you set
mA Output Fault Action
to None, you should also set
Process Variable Fault Action to None.
2. If you set
mA Output Fault Action
to
Upscale
or
Downscale
, set
mA Output Fault Level
to the signal
that the mA Output will produce during a fault.
