7.5Troubleshooting Meter Status

7.5.1Meter Status Alarms

The Status alarms give a visual indication of the status of the meter. A green LED means no alarm, a yellow LED indicates a warning, while a red LED means an alarm is present. Gray indicates the chord has manually been set to inactive.

Click the Check Status button and Daniel CUI opens the Meter Monitor Status Summary dialog box that gives a short description of the current alarms present and alarms that require acknowl- edgement. Click Check Status if any of the LEDs are yellow or red to see more specific information causing the status alarm. The alarms are grouped in two tables: one for active alarms and one for acknowledgeable alarms. The alarms are also sorted in each table with the highest severity first. Active alarms do not require an acknowledge and will clear automatically when the alarm condition goes away. Alarms that require a user to acknowledge them will have a button to the right titled ACK. Clicking this button changes the button text to Wait and sends a request to the meter to clear the alarm. The alarm will disappear from the Check Status dialog once the alarm actually clears. Clicking the Question mark icon to the right of an alarm displays a help topic providing more detail on the alarm as well as possible causes and solutions. For complete descriptions and possible solutions, refer to P/N 3-9000-754 HART Field Device Specification Guide: Daniel Gas Ultrasonic Meters manual, Annex F.
