6.8 Status and error messages
6.8.1 Device status
Error data is given if you use PACTware
™
software with the appropriate DTM on a PC. The
software will show a symbol on the bottom left of the window if one or more error conditions are
found. This data agrees with NAMUR Recommendation NE 107 (Self-Monitoring and Diagnosis of
Field Devices) and VDI/VDE 2650.
Types of error message
For data on errors, refer to
Error handling on page 61.

Function
check
The device operates correctly,
but the measured value is
incorrect. This fault message is
only temporary. This symbol is
shown when the user configures
the device with the DTM or a
HART
®
Communicator.

Out of
specification
It is possible that the measured
value is unstable if the operating
conditions do not agree with the
device specification.
Warning
Signal weak
Warning
Signal strong
Warning
Spectrum quality bad
Warning
Measurement old
Maintenance
The device does not operate
correctly because of bad
environmental conditions (e.g.
build-up on the antenna). The
measured value is correct, but
maintenance is necessary a
short time after this symbol is
shown.
Warning
Sweep timing error
Warning
CPLD revision mismatch
Warning
Capacitor voltage low
Information
This status message is shown at
the same time as the error "no
measuring value".
