6.3 Configure the discrete output
The discrete output is used to report specific meter or process conditions. The discrete
output parameters control which condition is reported and how it is reported.
Depending on your purchase option, your transmitter may have one discrete output or no
discrete outputs.
Important
Whenever you change a discrete output parameter, verify all other discrete output parameters
before returning the meter to service. In some situations, the transmitter automatically loads a set of
stored values, and these values may not be appropriate for your application.
• Configure Discrete Output Source (Section 6.3.1)
• Configure Discrete Output Polarity (Section 6.3.2)
• Configure Discrete Output Fault Action (Section 6.3.3)
