The PIE 820-ELITE is
supplying the loop voltage.
There is a control loop
error. This may be a
transmitter (set for upscale
burnout) with a bad or
missing sensor, or a short
in the loop.
The PIE 820-ELITE is
supplying the loop voltage.
A calibrated transmitter is
limiting the loop current to
12.00 mA. An additional
0.28 mA is not controlled
by the transmitter and is
leaking somewhere in the
loop.
