off when the input signal is near normal. If the full scale capability of the module is
100, thedisplay will start at 3. For 50 scale modules, display starts at 2; for 20 scale
modules, 1.
Outside the normal range of operating current the following indications are dis-
played:
Su . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Start Up
Displayed for 15 seconds ar power up and after reset button is pushed. Start
up time delay to allow time for sensor to stabalize.
Oc . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Open Circuit
This indicates that there is no current coming into the input. Probable cause is
an open circuit on the wiring between the 4-20 mA transmitter and the module.
Ur . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Under Range
This indicates a current considerably below the normal range. The circuit
probably needs to be recalibrated.
Or . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Over Range
This indicates a current above 20 mA. This probably indicates a failure in the
sensor.
Sc . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Short Circuit
Indicates that excessive current was delivered to the module from the sensor
transmitter. Probable cause is a short circuit on the wires between the module
and transmitter, or a short circuit between one of the wires and ground. This
condition shuts down the transmitter power output on the module. You must
press reset to restore.
Check Lamps (green and yellow)
The green lamp will illuminate when the module is carrying out its self-check routine.
A self-check is initiated immediately anytime the RESET button on the module or the
SYSTEM RESET bus is activated. Thereafter, the self-check is automatically
reinitiated every 8 minutes.
The GREEN CHK lamp blinks while the self-check is in progress. In the self-check
mode, the input circuit inside the module is switched to an internally-generated ramp,
and the numeric display indicates values over its entire range. As each alarm
threshold is crossed, the appropriate Alarm lamp will illuminate. If the two alarm
thresholds are not crossed during the check, the YELLOW CHK lamp will flash to
indicate a failure in the module, and a System Fault will be signalled. This Fault can
be accepted and reset in the usual way.
During the self-check routine, the ALARM RELAY and ALARM SOLID STATE OUT-
PUTS do not change state. If they were in alarm when the test starts, they will
remain energized during the test; if there were no alarms at the start of the test,
alarm outputs will not be energized. Only the alarm lamps on the module, or on an
external mimic panel, will be illuminated during the test. Theself-check routine takes
20 SECONDS to complete.
The status of the alarm LED’s on the front panel prior to the start of the routine is
saved to memory, and restored to the front panel indicators at the end of the test.
As noted above, the external outputs from the moduledo not change during the test.
