Troubleshooting Tips 

Certain sequences of events can cause unexpected results. To solve these issues, it is best to start fresh from factory defaults and 

use the manual as a step by step programming guide, rather than a random approach to programming. Se

Reset Meter to Factory 

Defaults

 on page 

40 

for details on resetting the meter to factory defaults. In addition, for best results, we recommend using the free 

MeterView XL

 software for all programming needs. 

 

Symptom 

Check/Action 

No display at all 

1.  Check that the 4-20 mA current loop is providing at least 3.5 mA to the meter. 

2.  Check that the voltage drop of all devices connected to the 4-20 mA current loop 

does not exceed the max rating of the loop power supply. 

Not able to change setup or 

programming, 

LOCKED

 is 

displayed 

Meter is password-protected, enter correct five-digit password to unlock. 

Meter display flashes: 

1. 

99999 

2. 

-9999 

Check that the number of digits required for the scaled value does not exceed the 

maximum digits for the display line. If it does, try adjusting the decimal point location for 

less precision or changing the rate display to the bottom line. 

Display is unstable 

Check: 

1.  Input signal stability and value. 

2.  Display scaling vs. input signal. 

3.  Filter and bypass values (increase). 

Display response is too slow 

Check filter and bypass values 

Display reading is not accurate 

Check: 

1.  Input signal conditioner selected: Linear, square root, etc. 

2.  Scaling or calibration 

Display does not respond to input 

changes, reading a fixed number 

Check display assignment. It might be displaying max, min, or set point. 

Display shows: 

MAX

MIN

RATE

,  

TOTAL

, or 

GTOT

 and a number 

Max or min display has been locked. Press 

Enter

 to unlock max/min display readings.  

Relay operation is reversed 

Check fail-safe settings in 

Output

 menu 

Relays do not respond to signal 

Check: 

1.  Relay action in 

Output

 menu 

2.  Set and reset points 

3.  Check manual control menu 

If the display locks up or the meter 

does not respond at all  

Cycle the power to reboot the microprocessor. 

Other symptoms not described
