identify diagnostic messages and access troubleshooting information so

 

you can clear fault conditions.

The SMV diagnostic messages fall into any one of the following general categories:

Status (Informational)

Noncritical Status

Critical Status

Communications

Follow the steps in Table 30 to access diagnostic messages generated by the SMV 3000 and procedures for clearing transmitter fault conditions.

Action

Connect the SCT to the SMV and establish communications. (See Subsection 5.2 Establishing Communications for the procedure, if necessary.)

Select the Status Tab Card (if not selected already) to display a listing of the Gross Status and Detailed Status messages.

Refer to the SCT on-line user manual for descriptions of the status messages and corrective actions to clear faults.

ATTENTION

When critical status forces PV output into failsafe condition, record the messages before you cycle transmitter power OFF/ON to clear failsafe condition.
