4-20mA errors 

Calibration 20mA 
Error! 

NOTE: 

The 4-20mA output is calibrated before the 

instrument leaves the factory and should not require 
further adjustment. 

Interpretation: You have adjusted the DAC outside its 
accepted range when calibrating the 20mA signal output. 
Response: Re-calibrate the 4-20mA output. 

Calibration 4mA Error! 

NOTE:

 The 4-20mA output is calibrated before the 

instrument leaves the factory and should not require 
further adjustment. 

Interpretation: You have adjusted the DAC outside its 
accepted range when calibrating the 4mA signal output. 
Response: Re-calibrate the 4-20mA output. 

 

Data logging errors 

Log not empty! 

Interpretation: When using QuickStart and manually 
starting a log, this message is displayed to warn you that 
a log already exists. The screen will offer the option to 
cancel the logging, or save the log to another site. 
Response: Attempt to save the existing log, then re-start 
logging. If logging still fails to start, and the error 
message remains, then either all the sites are in use or 
all the Logger memory is full. Check for any unwanted log 
files and delete them. 

Log memory full 

Interpretation: This occurs when all the data logger 
memory locations are filled. 
Response: Clear the logger memory 

USB key not found 

Interpretation: Attempt is made to download logged data 
without a working FAT format USB key being present in 
the USB socket. 
Response: Insert or replace the USB key and abort then 
restart the download 

 

Battery errors 

Battery Low 

Interpretation: The battery has discharged to below 30% 
remaining. This leaves the instrument with approximately 
4 hours remaining, depending on power usage, before it 
needs recharging. 
Response: Recharge the internal battery at the earliest 
opportunity. Do not leave the instrument for a prolonged 
period with a fully discharged battery. 

Battery Exhausted 

Interpretation: The battery is approaching a fully
