VEGAPULS 31 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART
57820-EN-191014
Function check:
The instrument is being worked on, the measured
value is temporarily invalid (for example during simulation).
This status message is inactive by default.
Out of specification:
The measured value is unreliable because an
instrument specification was exceeded (e.g. electronics temperature).
This status message is inactive by default.
Maintenance:
Due to external influences, the instrument function
is limited. The measurement is affected, but the measured value is
still valid. Plan in maintenance for the instrument because a failure is
expected in the near future (e.g. due to buildup).
This status message is inactive by default.
