Note: If slug flow duration is set to 0, the mass flow rate will be forced to 0 as soon as slug flow is
detected.
8.13 Configuring fault handling
There are three ways that the transmitter can report faults:
• By setting outputs to their configured fault levels
• By configuring a discrete output to indicate fault status
• By posting an alarm to the active alarm log
Status alarm severity controls which of these methods is used. For some faults only,
fault timeout controls when the fault is reported.
8.13.1 Status alarm severity
Status alarms are classified into three levels of severity. The severity level controls transmitter
behavior when the alarm condition occurs. See Table 8-7.
Some alarms can be reclassified. For example:
• The default severity level for Alarm A020 (calibration factors unentered) is
Fault, but you can
reconfigure it to either
Informational or Ignore.
• The default severity level for Alarm A102 (drive over-range) is
Informational, but you can
reconfigure it to either
Ignore or Fault.
For a list of all status alarms and default severity levels, see Table 8-8. (For more information on
status alarms, including possible causes and troubleshooting suggestions, see Table 12-5.)
To configure alarm severity, refer to the ProLink II and Communicator menu trees in the appropriate
appendix for your transmitter model (Appendices C through G).
Note: You cannot set status alarm severity via the display menus.

Severity level Transmitter action
Fault If this condition occurs, an alarm will be generated and all outputs go to their
configured fault levels. Output configuration is described in Chapter 6.
Informational If this condition occurs, an alarm will be generated but output levels are not affected.
Ignore If this condition occurs, no alarm will be generated (no entry is added to the active
alarm log) and output levels are not affected.
