Diagnostics
The internal diagnostic functions continuously monitor the operation of the transmitter.
An error signal is generated if a failure or irregularity occurs.
An error signal is generated if a failure or irregularity occurs.
The SITRANS LC 500 sends the signal current according to the NAMUR NE 43
recommendation. During normal operation the current remains within the range from 3.8
to 20.5 mA. If the process exceeds its normal limits but is not in a fault or failure situation,
the signal current will be outside the measurement range (4 to 20 mA) but will be limited
to either 3.8 or 20.5 mA.

the signal current will be outside the measurement range (4 to 20 mA) but will be limited

If a fault or a failure is detected, the signal current is set to either 3.6 mA or 22 mA,
depending on the settings you have chosen. (This feature may be disabled by the user.)
