7.1 Overview
The Status window indicates operating conditions. When used with tools
such as a digital multimeter (DMM), the transmitter diagnostic LED, and
fault output levels, the Status window facilitates flowmeter
characterization, calibration, testing, and troubleshooting.
To open the Status window, open the View menu, then choose
Transmitter Status. The Status window appears as depicted in:
•
Figure 7-1
for an RFT9739
•
Figure 7-2
for an IFT9701 or IFT9703
•
Figure 7-3
for an RFT9712 or RFT9729
The Status window has separate frames for critical, operational, and
informational indicators.
• Critical indicators are described in
Section 7.3
, page 56.
• Operational indicators are described in
Section 7.4
, page 62.
• Informational indicators are described in
Section 7.5
, page 66.
Status indicators aid in troubleshooting the flowmeter. When
troubleshooting, investigate critical indicators first, then check
operational and informational indicators.
• When an indicator switch is OFF, the accompanying message
appears dimmed.
• When an indicator switch is ON, the accompanying message
appears highlighted to indicate a particular condition.
When a status indicator switches ON, refer to
Table 7-1
, page 54, which
lists status indicators alphabetically and lists the pages where
troubleshooting procedures for each indicator are described. Use the
Status window, transmitter fault output levels, and a digital multimeter
(DMM) to troubleshoot the flowmeter.
CAUTION
During troubleshooting, the transmitter
could produce inaccurate flow signals.
• Set control devices for manual operation before
troubleshooting the flowmetering system.
• If terminal blocks or wiring are disconnected from the
transmitter during troubleshooting, cycle power to the
transmitter after reconnecting terminal blocks or
wiring.
