Operation and Maintenance
Analog output loop test
Under the Analog Output Verify heading, a loop test can be performed by clicking the Loop Test
button. The loop test command verifies the output of the transmitter, the integrity of the loop,
and the operations of any recorders or similar devices installed in the loop.
Analog output diagnostic alerts
Two diagnostic alerts are shown under the Diagnostics heading.
The first is mA Ouput Fixed. This alerts the user that the 4-20 mA analog output signal is fixed at a
constant value and is not representative of the HART Primary Variable. This diagnostic alert may
also be triggered if “Loop Current Mode” is disabled, the device is in alarm, or if “Test
Calculation” is running.
The second diagnostic is mA Output Saturated. This alerts the user that the measured Primary
Variable has exceeded the range points defined for the 4-20 mA analog output signal. The
analog output is fixed at the user-defined high or low saturation point and is not representative
of the current HART Primary Variable.
