The output channel is in a defined error level instead of the measured result in two situations.
- The transmitter detects a measurement malfunction such as a damaged sensor or unfavorable environmental conditions.
- The measured values are outside of the scaled output range. See Analog Output Overrange Behavior .
The error level depends on the output type.
- For a 0 to 10 V output, the error level is 11 V.
- For a 4 to 20 mA output, the error level is 3.6 mA.
The transmitter resumes normal operation of the analog outputs when the cause of the error state is removed.
