Description
Probable Cause
Recommended Action
S
OFT
W
ARE
ERR
OR
Software error. The operating system
failed in conducting a task
A valid hidden record (in RAM) existing
upon reset indicating that a CPU
exception (such as invalid instruction )
occurred OR invalid target mode of the
device was found
Clear the condition using ValVue
software or HART host
If the failure persists, replace the
device
CALIB
RATION
ERR
OR
Calibration of Analog Outputs (AOs) failed
Calibration of AOs was outside the
acceptable range when attempting to
calibrate
Tank empty or wrong left/right mounting
position
Using precision measuring
equipment, perform calibration
according to boundary limits of AOs
AUTO
TUNE
ERR
OR
The Autotune procedure has been
cancelled. Then the procedure failed to
complete
N/A
If required start again the Autotune
procedure
DISPLACER
HEIGHT
Error of displacer height information
The span (in engineering units) exceeded
the displacer height plus 8.2 mm, entered
into the instrument data base
Check the engineering unit settings
and the true displacer height
MOUNTING
Mounting error
Mounting configuration (left/right)
conflicted zero and span transmitter
calibration
Check and do coupling if necessary
Recalibrate the device
TIME W
O
RK
ING
Working time exceeded the configurable
threshold
N/A
Perform maintenance of device
CURRENT
SIG
NAL
SENS
O
R
Error of 4-20 mA sensor
Readback sensor reading was outside the
-1 to 30 mA range for five reads in a row
Clear the condition using ValVue
software or HART host
If the failure persists, replace the
device
LOOP
OUTP
UT
WARN
ING
Small mismatch between commanded
and read 4-20 mA loop output (lower than
0.32 mA)
Resistance change of external loop may
have changed
Clear the condition using ValVue
software or HART host
If the failure persists, replace the
device
4-20
LOOP
OUTP
UT ERROR
Mismatch between commanded and read
4-20 mA loop output (lower than 0.64mA)
Resistance change of external loop may
have changed
Clear the condition using ValVue
software or HART host
If the failure persists, replace the
device
LOCAL
U
SER
I
NTERFACE
OFF
User Interface (UI) was turned off
When ambient temperature is lower than
-15 °C (+5 °F), LCD display is frozen. Then
UI are turned off to prevent from any
error of setting
N/A
V
OLTAGE
LOOP
L
OW
Loop voltage below threshold
Loop voltage or power supply voltage
may have changed
Check the loop voltage and ensure it
is above 10 VDC
V
OLTAGE
LOOP
H
IGH
Loop voltage above threshold
Loop voltage or power supply voltage
may have changed
Check the loop voltage and ensure it
is below 40 VDC (or 30 VDC in
intrinsically safe area)
V
OLTAGE
S
HUNT
DIAG

Diagnostic (shunt) voltage below threshold Internal voltage may have changed
Clear the condition using ValVue
software or HART host
If the failure persists, replace the
device
