The graph indicates that the FSK communication technique
tolerates up to two volts of noise amplitude at 60 hertz. This
tolerance decreases as the noise frequency approaches the
FSK communication frequencies of 19.0 kilohertz and
30.5 kilohertz.
Temperature Compensation
The transmitter electronics monitor the temperature of the cell
assembly. This is accomplished by monitoring the resistance
of the coils within the cell. This technique provides a true cell
temperature measurement and the transmitter uses it to cal-
culate an advanced correction for the cell output based on the
programmed cell temperature characteristics. The transmitter
also compensates the four to 20-milliampere output for tem-
perature changes within the electronics housing. Type PTSDL
level transmitters monitor and compensate for the dynamic
temperature difference between the high and low sides of the
cell. The cell temperature can be monitored on the Type STT
terminal.
Diagnostics
Continuous self-diagnostics are accessible on demand through
the Type STT terminal. Areas monitored include: cell; cell tem-
perature; electronics temperature; dynamic temperature; cali-
bration; configured pressure limits; input circuits; analog to
digital converter; microcontroller ROM, SEEPROM, and
EEPROM; and reference voltages. Diagnostics identify the mal-
functioning section of the transmitter. The diagnostics may
indicate if a calibration error occurs.
