5.3 Performing a loop test
A loop test is a means to:
• Verify that analog outputs (mA and frequency) are being sent by the transmitter and received
accurately by the receiving devices
• Determine whether or not you need to trim the mA outputs
• Select and verify the discrete output voltage
• Read the discrete input
Perform a loop test on all inputs and outputs available on your transmitter. Before performing the loop
tests, ensure that your transmitter terminals are configured for the input/outputs that will be used in
your application (see Section 6.3).
You can perform a loop test with the display, with ProLink II, or the Communicator.
5.3.1 Loop testing with the display
See Figure 5-2 for the loop test procedure. Not all options are available on all
transmitters.
Note the following:
• The display cannot be used to test the discrete input. If your transmitter has a discrete input,
use ProLink II or a Communicator to perform the discrete input loop test.
• The mA reading does not need to be exact. You will correct differences when you trim the mA
output. See Section 5.4.
• While the output is fixed:
- Dots traverse the top line of the display.
- The status LED blinks yellow.
• When the output is unfixed:
- The dots disappear.
- The status LED returns to the state it was in before the output was fixed.
