Overview
mA Output Fault Action controls the behavior of the mA output if the transmitter encounters
an internal fault condition.
Note
For some faults only: If Fault Timeout is set to a non-zero value, the transmitter will not implement the
fault action until the timeout has elapsed.
Procedure
1. Set mA Output Fault Action to the desired value.
The default setting is Downscale.
Restriction
If Digital Communications Fault Action is set to NAN (not a number), you cannot set mA Output Fault
Action to None. If you try to do this, the device will not accept the configuration.
2. If you set mA Output Fault Action to Upscale or Downscale, set mA Output Fault Level as
desired.
Postrequisites
CAUTION!
If you set mA Output Fault Action to None, be sure to set Digital Communications Fault Action to None. If you
do not, the output will not report actual process data, and this may result in measurement
errors or unintended consequences for your process.
