Failsafe Parameters (P070 to P072)
As preset, in the event of a measurement or technical difficulty, the SPL holds the
Reading, Bar Graph, mA output, and relays at their last "known" values.
To operate process control equipment under these conditions, alter the following
parameters as required.
Note:
If alternate Failsafe Operation is not required, proceed to Relay Parameters.
P070 Failsafe Timer
Enter the time to elapse (in minutes), upon a difficulty, before failsafe operation is
activated.
In the RUN mode, when a difficulty first occurs, the Reading, Bar Graph, relay status,
and mA output are held at "last known" values and the Failsafe Timer is activated.
When a valid measurement is made before the timer expires, the SPL advances to
the "new" material level (if changed) as
normal (per Measurement Response, P003)
and the timer resets.
If the timer expires (before a valid measurement is made), the SPL advances to the
Failsafe Material Level (P071) as restricted by Failsafe Advance (P072).
When a valid measurement is made after the timer expires, the SPL advances to the
"new" material level (if changed), as restricted by Failsafe Advance (P072) and the
timer resets.
If the timer expires due to a measurement difficulty, "LOE" flashes in the Reading display.
Technical difficulty messages flash in the Reading display before the timer expires.
The offending terminal connections are displayed in the Auxiliary Reading display.
Display Cause
"LOE" weak echo (see TroubleShooting Guide).
"Short" short circuited transducer cable, or defective transducer
"OPEn"
open circuited transducer cable, or Point Number is scanned but a
transducer is not connected, or defective transducer
"Error"
reversed Ultrasonic/Temperature transducer terminal connections or
wrong Transducer (P004) entered.
Note:
While a short duration Failsafe Timer value may be required (when process control
equipment is used) avoid entering a value so short as to cause nuisance activation.
This feature is automatically altered when Measurement Response (P003) is altered.
Values:
0.000 to 9999
