3.3.9 CPU Failure Burnout Direction and
Hardware Write Protect
There are two slide switches on the CPU assembly
board. One sets the burnout direction at CPU
failure, and the other sets a write protection function
which disables parameter changes through
the use of a handheld terminal or some other
communication method.

F0305.ai
The parameter of
AO alm typ parameter displays
the status of 4-20 mA DC output if a CPU failure
occurs. In case of a failure, communication is
disabled.
Standard specifications or with option code /C3
The burnout direction switch is set to “HIGH”. If a
failure occurs, the transmitter outputs a 110% or
higher signal.
With option code /C1 or /C2
The burnout direction switch is set to “LOW”.
If a failure occurs, a –2.5% or lower output is
generated.
To confirm the burnout direction at the CPU failure,
follow the procedure below.

3.3.10 Software Write Protection
EJX multivariable transmitter configured data is
saved by using a write protection function. The
write protection status is set to “Yes” when 8
alphanumeric characters are entered in the
New
password field and transferred to the transmitter.
When write protection is set to ”Yes,” the transmitter
does not accept parameter changes. When the
same eight alphanumeric string entered in the
New
password field is also entered in the Enable wrt
10min field and transferred to the transmitter, it
will be possible to change transmitter parameters
during a 10 minute period.
To change the transmitter from the write protection
”Yes” status back to write protection ”No” status,
use
Enable wrt 10min to first release the write
protection function and then enter eight spaces in
the
New password field.

3.3.11 Alarm
The function is used to display the alarm codes
when the input differential pressure exceeds the
specified value within the calibration range. The
same is available for the input static pressure,
external temperature, and flow rate. Refer to table
4.5 Alarm Message Summary for the specific alarm
code to be generated.
