9 Error messages

9.1 LCD Display messages
The LCD HMI in case of transmitter errors or malfunctioning is capable of displaying specific error/fault messages to help the user
in identifying the problem and resolve it. In case of an alarm, a message consisting of an icon and text appears at the bottom of
the process display, as shown hereafter. Use the (1) key to call up the information level. Use the "Diagnostics" menu to call up the
error description with a help text. In the error description, the error number is displayed in the second line (M028.018). Two further
lines are used to describe the error. The device status is divided into four groups. The message text beside this icon in the display
provides information about where to look for the error. There are the following areas: Electronic, Sensor, Configuration, Operanting
and Process.
Icon Description
Error / Failure
Functional check (e.g. during simulation )
Out of Spec (e.g. operating with empty meter pipe)
Maintenance required

Note for the calibration of the current output by the user.
For 266 Transmitters with SW.-Rev. </= 7.1.15 and alarm current
setting to 'low alarm' The calibration of the current output by the
user requires to perform the calibration procedure with a suitable
configuration tool (DTM, EDD, FIM) and to finalize the procedure by
saving the process with "save configuration as default".
Possible cause
Electronic memory corrupted.
The output circuit could be broken
or not correctly calibrated.
Data exchange between the sensor
and the electronic is incorrect.
Writings to the electronic non-
Volatile Memory has not been
successful.
The D to A converter is not properly
Calibrated/Trimmed.
The Device is not properly
configured.
The analog output for the Primary
Variable is derived by the value
simulated in input.
Suggested action
The electronic must be replaced.
A DAC (digital to outpt converter) trimming
should be performed and if the error persists
the communication board must be replaced.
Power off and on the transmitter and check if
the error persists. If yes replace the
communication board as soon as possible.
The communication board should be replaced
as soon as possible.
Perform an Output Trimming and if the error
persists the communication board must be
replaced. (see NOTE below)
Check the device configuration.
Use a HART configurator (DTM - Hand held) to
place device back in to normal operating mode
(Remove the analog output simulation).
