Performing a Two-wire Blink Test
Use the Two-wire Blink Test to find bad electrical connections, broken wires, or device failures.
Running this test activates the two-wire path and should cause the communication LED on each
device to blink. If an LED is not blinking, check the electrical connections.
Note: It is usually best to perform this test when one person is working at the controller and
another person is verifying the blinking LEDs in the field.
1. Turn the dial to the Self Test position.
2. Press the Next or Previous button to select Two-wire Blink Test, and then press the Enter
button. The Self Test screen displays.
