Advanced Diagnostics Configuration
6.4 Electronics temperature
The 8732EM continuously monitors the temperature of the internal electronics. If the measured
electronics temperature exceeds the operating limits of –40 to 140 °F (–40 to 60 °C) the
transmitter will go into alarm and generate an alert.
6.4.1 Turning electronics temperature on/off
The electronics temperature diagnostic can be turned on or off as required by the application.The
electronics temperature diagnostic will be turned on by default.
6.4.2 Electronics temperature parameters
The electronics temperature diagnostic has one read-only parameter. It does not have any
configurable parameters.
Electronics temperature
This parameter shows the current temperature of the electronics. This is a read-only value.
6.5 Ground/wiring fault detection
The transmitter continuously monitors signal amplitudes over a wide range of frequencies. For
the ground/wiring fault detection diagnostic, the transmitter specifically looks at the signal
amplitude at frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz which are the common AC cycle frequencies found
throughout the world. If the amplitude of the signal at either of these frequencies exceeds 5 mV,
that is an indication that there is a ground or wiring issue and that stray electrical signals are
getting into the transmitter. The diagnostic alert will activate indicating that the ground and
wiring of the installation should be carefully reviewed.
The ground/wiring fault detection diagnostic provides a means of verifying installations are done
correctly. If the installation is not wired or grounded properly, this diagnostic will activate and
deliver an alert. This diagnostic can also detect if the grounding is lost over-time due to
corrosion or another root cause.
