(*): When the digital transmitter is used, these errors are generated in the digital
transmitter, but they are handled as if they were generated in the controller.
• The 3.6 mA fault current is always off unless the 4-20 mA output has been
configured; the 22 mA fault current is always off unless the 0-20 mA or 4-20
mA output has been configured.
The 3.6 mA and the 22 mA fault current cannot be both set to ON. If two
errors are active when output is configured as 4-20 mA (#1 or #2), and one
of them is configured for the 22 mA fault current, while the other one is config-
ured for the 3.6 mA fault current, the 22 mA current is let out to the analog
output.
The fault current is automatically disabled when the analog output is used for
controlling (item O.10 equal to “Control-setpoint 1”), no matter whether the
fault current itself has been configured “On” or “OFF”.
• In case of a “Temperature probe broken” error, the fault current, if configured,
is let out to both analog outputs (unless O.20 is equal to “Control-setpoint 2”).
In all the other cases only the first analog output can let out the fault current.
• The “GSM/Modem module error” is never activated if P.00 is not set to
“HI504900 GSM module” or “HI504901 GSM supervisor”. The error will be
active if the instrument is not able to communicate with the GSM/modem en-
gine (for example the serial cable is broken or the engine is not powered), if the
number of available SMS is finished (setup item P.14) or if the SIM expiration
date is overrun.
• The “Power reset” and the “Watchdog reset” errors are active only for the short
time of the start-up session (selftests, meter name and version displaying). That
start-up session ends when the first measurement is acquired and displayed.
• When the Hold mode is enabled for the “Life check error”, this error can be
closed automatically if the measurement vary enough.
Note
The alarm relay (when configured to be activated) is de-energized
(fail-safe ON) continuously or with a pulse of about 5 seconds. This
parameter can be configured through setup item E.99 (Level or Pulse).
If the “Pulse” option is selected, a new pulse will be let out upon
every new error, no matter whether the red LED is already blinking
(i.e. some error is active) or not. When the pulse finishes, the relay is
energized but the error remains still active (red LED blinking) until
the error is closed.
Note
The “Digital Transmitter error” is generated by one of the following
causes:
1. Digital transmitter is off
2. Connection problems between controller & transmitter
ALARM - ERROR CONFIGURATION
This section is dedicated to all the possible error causes for alarm generation,
and to the actions performed according to the alarm configuration (setup menu
“Error configuration”).
Each alarm cause can be referred to an error to which an error code is assigned
and which is logged in a dedicated memory space (see “Event logging” section
for more details).
Five configuring actions are foreseen upon generation of an alarm:
1. Alarm relay de-energized
2. Auto-cleaning (control actions are stopped during auto-cleaning mode)
3. 3.6 or 22 mA fault current for the 4-20 mA output; 22 mA fault current for
the 0-20 mA output
4. Hold mode (entered in any case for EEPROM corruption or serial bus error)
5. Alarm SMS submission to the selected phone numbers
Note
The red LED flashes in any case upon an alarm generation, i.e. it
can not be disabled by changing the error configuration.
