Recommended actions
A113
Secondary mA output
saturated
•
Check process conditions. Actual
conditions may be outside of the normally
expected conditions for which the output
is configured.
•
Verify process conditions, checking
especially for air in the flow tubes, tubes
not filled, foreign material in the tubes, or
coating in the tubes.
•
Verify that the measurement units are
configured correctly for your application.
•
Purge the flow tubes.
•
Check the settings of
Upper Range Value
and
Lower Range Value
. See Section 10.17.
A114
Secondary mA output
fixed
•
Check that the transmitter is in loop test
mode.
•
Exit mA output trim.
•
Check that the output has been fixed via
digital communication.
A115
External input error
The HART polling
connection to an
external device has
failed. No response
received from polled
device.
The mA input
connection to an
external device has
failed. No response
received from the
external device.
•
Verify the external device operation.
•
Verify the wiring between the transmitter
and the external device.
•
Verify the HART polling configuration.
•
Verify the mA input configuration.
A116
API temperature
outside standard range
•
Verify process conditions.
•
Verify the configuration of the petroleum
measurement table type and temperature.
A117
API density out of
limits
•
Verify process conditions.
•
Verify the configuration of the petroleum
measurement table type and density.
A118
Discrete output 1 fixed
The user has fixed the
discrete output.
•
Check that the transmitter is in loop test
mode.
A120
Concentration
measurement: unable
to fix curve data
•
Verify the configuration of the
concentration measurement application.
