Identifying and correcting fault indications
There are two types of alarms: recoverable and non-recoverable. If an existing alarm is
recoverable, the alarm-active indication disappears when the alarm condition no longer
exists. If an alarm is not recoverable, the alarm indication continues to be displayed after
the cause of the alarm condition is corrected. AC power to the transmitter must be cycled
to clear a non-recoverable alarm.
Alarm messages are displayed on the optional Rosemount 6888Xi or the 475 Field
Communicator. A listing of the alarm/fault messages and the related fault status
descriptions are shown in
Table 4-1
.
Fault conditions that give no fault indication and that allow the probe to pass calibration
are listed and discussed after
Table 4-1
.

Fail
A checksum error was detected in the nonvola-
tile memory configuration data when the unit
was turned on. Default values have been loa-
ded. Check to see that your configurations have
not been changed. Cycle the power to clear
alarm.

No
Yes
Board Temp
High
The electronics board reading is above the
threshold. The board may not function correct-
ly. The predefined temperature threshold is
86 ° C (187 °F) for IO board or 126 °C (259 °F) for
transmitter board.
Failed
No
Yes
O2 Sensor
Open
The cell impedance is reading less than
-1.0 Vdc, indicating the O
2
sensor wires may be
disconnected or the O
2
sensor junction may be
open. Check wiring.
Maint
Yes
Yes
O2 TC Open
The O
2
sensor heater thermocouple voltage is
reading more than 0.065 volt, indicating the
thermocouple wires may be disconnected or
the thermocouple junction may be open. Check
wiring.
Maint
Yes
Yes
O2 Temp Low
The sensor heater temperature is below the low
temperature threshold. If extended tempera-
ture feature is not enabled, the pre-defined low
temperature threshold is 726 °C (1339 °F). If ex-
tended temperature feature is enabled, the pre-
defined low temperature threshold is 726 °C
(1339 °F) if the Heater SP is set to
Normal
or
540 °C (1030 °F) if it is set to
Low
