8.13.2 Fault timeout
If a fault is detected, the transmitter always sets the “alarm active” status bit immediately. Fault
actions for the transmitter outputs and digital communications may be implemented immediately or
may be delayed until the fault timeout expires. During the fault timeout, outputs continue to report
their last measured value.
The default fault timeout value is
0, meaning that fault actions will be implemented immediately.
The fault timeout is not applicable to all faults. See Table 8-8 for information about which faults are
affected.
8.14 Configuring the display
If your transmitter has a display, you can enable or disable specific display
functions, specify the process variables to be shown on the display, and set a variety
of parameters that control display behavior.
8.14.1 Update period
The update period (or display rate) parameter controls how often the display is refreshed with current
data. The default is 0.2 seconds. The range is 0.10 seconds to 10 seconds. The Update Period value
applies to all process variables.
8.14.2 Language
The display can be configured to use any of the following languages for data and menus:
• English
•French
