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 outputs are held at "last known" values and the Failsafe Timer is
activated.

When a valid measurement is made before the timer expires, the XPL Plus
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 XPL Plus
advances to the Failsafe Material Level (P071) as restricted by Failsafe Advance
(P072).

When a valid measurement is made after the timer expires, the XPL Plus
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

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.
