Application: Analog fault signalling (2-state output)
In 2-state mode, the loop current signals whether the probe is covered or uncovered, and
the continuous level measurement is unavailable.
the continuous level measurement is unavailable.
2-state mode provides:
• a 4 mA or 20 mA output to menu 07, when the level reaches one of the threshold
settings
• a 3.6 or 22 mA output to menu 07 (if 2-state fault signalling is enabled at menu
08) when the process level exceeds one of the limit settings (menu 0B and 0C).
The above settings can be modified:
• The response time when thresholds are reached can be modified by Upper and/
• The response time when thresholds are reached can be modified by Upper and/
or Lower Threshold delays (menus 03 and 04).
• The mA reading can be stabilized if necessary by applying Damping (menu 0A):
the increment value is controlled at menu 09.
Example:
Device settings:
(The device is first restored to factory settings before being commissioned)
TV0 selected: Transmitter Variable 0 is PV
(The device is first restored to factory settings before being commissioned)
TV0 selected: Transmitter Variable 0 is PV
Menu 01 reads Pv = 0
Lower Range Value (0% of range) is set to 14.3
Menu 0E reads 14.30
Upper Range Value (100% of range) is set to 75.8
Menu 0F reads 75.80
Current loop is in 2-state mode (C: Hi selected)
Menu 07 reads C:Hi
