7.1.6.10 Loop test
Note
The simulated AO (Analog Output) value influences output to the control system.
Allows you to input a simulated value (4 mA, 20 mA, or a user-defined value) in order to test the
functioning of the mA connections during commissioning or maintenance of the device. The
range is 3.56 mA to 22.6 mA, see mA Output Value (2.6.6.).
To simulate a user-defined mA value:
1. Open the menu Device – Loop Test.
2. Select Other, enter the new value, and click on OK. The message ’Field Device fixed at [new
value]’ appears. Click on OK. The Loop Test window remains open.
3. When you are ready to end simulation, select End and click on OK to return the device to the
actual output value.
7.1.6.11 Configuration flag reset
To reset the configuration flag to zero, open the menu Device Configuration Flag Reset and
