Cause/Remedy
8J
Drift detected, reference volt‐
age VREF
A critical measurement error was detected at the internal voltage
reference.
Reconnect or repair the sensor.
If the problem persists, contact Technical Support.
8L
Drift detected at Input 1
A critical measurement error was detected at Input 1.
Reconnect or repair the sensor.
If the problem persists, contact Technical Support.
8n
Drift detected at Input 2
A critical measurement error is detected at Input 2.
Reconnect or repair the sensor.
If the problem persists, contact Technical Support.
8o
Drift detected, ground voltage
offset to terminal 3
A critical measurement error is detected on ground voltage offset to
terminal 3.
Reconnect or repair the sensor.
If the problem persists, contact Technical Support.
bF
Configuration not supported by
device
Device LED flashing red: The configuration is temporarily invalid for
less than 3 seconds, for example during parameter download.
No further action is required by the user.
Device LED lights permanently red: The configuration is temporarily
invalid for more than 3 seconds, for example if the download is
paused.
Correct and/or resend the configuration.
bL
Device restart due to unexpec‐
ted program error
The main program was inadvertently reset.
Correct and/or resend the configuration.
If the problem persists, contact Technical Support.
bo
Primary variable out of limits
Process value has reached the sensor limit.
Review process conditions versus product specifications.
bP
Non-primary variable out of lim‐
its
A process value that is not mapped to the primary variable has
reached the sensor limit.
Review process conditions versus product specifications.
CA
Simulation mode
The device is in simulation mode and one or more of its device varia‐
bles are not representative of the process.
Disable the simulation to return to normal operation.
