Span Fail
The span value, set with the local span adjustment button, exceeds the maximum rangedown
allowed for a particular range, or the pressure sensed by the transmitter exceeds the sensor
limits.
Local Dsbld
This message appears during reranging with the integral zero and span buttons and indicates
that the transmitter local zero and span adjustments have been disabled. The adjustments may
have been disabled by the transmitter security jumper on the transmitter circuit board or
through software commands from the Field Communicator. See “Security (write protect)” on
page 20 for information on the position of the security jumper and information on software
lockout.
Write Protect
This message appears if you attempt to change the transmitter configuration data while the
security jumper is in the ON position. See “Security (write protect)” on page 20 for more
information about the security jumper.
