STEP 5: PERFORM A LOOP TEST
The Loop Test command verifies transmitter output, loop integrity, and operation of any
recorders or similar devices installed in the loop.
NOTE:
This is not available with the 248C Configuration Interface.
Initiate a loop test:
1. Connect an external ampere meter in series with the transmitter loop (so the power to
the transmitter goes through the meter at some point in the loop.
2. From the home screen select 1) Device Setup, 2) Diag/Serv, 1) Test Device, 1) Loop
Test.
3. Select a discrete milliampere level for the transmitter to output. At Choose Analog
Output select 1) 4mA, 2) 20mA or select 3) Other to manually input a value between 4
and 20 milliamperes. Select Enter to show the fixed output. Select OK.
4. In the test loop, check that the fixed mA input and the transmitter’s mA output are the
same value. If the readings do not match, either the transmitter requires an output trim or
the current meter is malfunctioning.
After completing the test, the display returns to the loop test screen and allows the user to
choose another output value. To end the Loop Test, Select 5) End and Enter.
