Range Fault – AutoSpan
If the sensor fails the minimum signal change criteria during AutoSpan sequence (Section 3.4), the “Range
Fault” will be declared. A “Range Fault” will cause a “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a minute on the
sensor display and drop the 4-20mA output to 0mA. The sensor should be considered “Out-of-Service” until a
successful AutoSpan calibration is performed.
Stability Fault - AutoSpan
If the sensor fails the signal stability criteria during AutoSpan sequence (Section 3.4), the “Stability Fault” will
be declared. A “Stability Fault” will cause a “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a minute on the sensor
display and drop the mA output to 0mA.
The sensor should be considered as “Out-of-Service” until a
successful AutoSpan calibration is performed.
Clearing Fault - AutoSpan
If the sensor fails the signal stability criteria during AutoSpan sequence (Section 3.4), the “Clearing Fault” will
be declared. A “Clearing Fault” will cause a “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a minute on the sensor
display and drop the mA output to 0mA.
The sensor should be considered as “Out-of-Service” until a
successful AutoSpan calibration is performed.
Open Heater Fault
If the sensor heater should fail and become electrically open, a “Heater Fault” will be declared. A “Heater
Fault” will cause a “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a minute on the sensor display. If a Heater Fault
occurs, the 4-20mA signal will be set at 0mA until the fault condition is resolved.
Open Sensor Fault
If the sensor film should fail and become electrically open, a “Sensor Fault” is declared. A “Sensor Fault” will
cause a “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a minute on the sensor display. If a Sensor Fault occurs, the
4-20mA signal will be set at 0mA until the fault condition is resolved.
Processor Fault
If the detector has any unrecoverable run-time errors, a “Processor Fault” is declared. A “Processor Fault”
will cause a “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a minute on the sensor display. If a Processor Fault
occurs, the 4-20mA signal will be set at 0mA until the fault condition is resolved.
Memory Fault
If the detector has a failure in saving new data to memory, a “Memory Fault” is declared. A “Memory Fault”
will cause the “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a minute on the sensor display. If a Memory Fault
occurs, the 4-20mA signal will be set at 0mA until the fault condition is resolved.
4-20mA Loop Fault
If the sensor detects a condition where the 4-20mA output loop is not functional (high loop resistance or failed
circuit function) a “4-20mA Fault” is declared. A “4-20mA Fault” will cause the “Fault Detected” message to
scroll once a minute on the ITM display. If a Loop Fault occurs, the 4-20mA signal will be set at 0mA until
the fault condition is resolved.
If the 4-20mA current loop is still out of tolerance, contact Detcon at
[email protected] , or contact Detcon customer service.
Input Voltage Fault
If the detector is currently receiving an input voltage that is outside of the 11.5-28VDC range, an “Input
Voltage Fault” is declared. An “Input Voltage Fault” will cause the “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a
