 Outside Diagnosis Range 
1) dpavgmax
The dpavgmax, DIAG_LIM [9], is the upper 
limit of the diagnostic capability range. The limit 
value can be changed when DIAG_MODE is 
“Stop”.
VALUE_DPAVG indicates the ratio of the 
average of differential pressure to the maximum 
span regarded as 1. When VALUE_DPAVG 
exceeds this limit, “Outside Diagnosis Range” 
is generated so that the blockage detection 
becomes impossible.
2) dpavgmin
The dpavgmin, DIAG_LIM [10], is the lower 
limit of the diagnostic capability range. The limit 
value can be changed when DIAG_MODE is 
“Stop”.
When VALUE_DPAVG is below this limit, 
“Outside Diagnosis Range” is generated so that 
the blockage detection becomes impossible.
<Example>
When the level range that can be measured by the 
transmitter with 100 kPa span is -80 to 80 kPa, the 
limits are set as follows.
•  dpavgmax: 0.80
•  dpavgmin: -0.80

Outside Diagnosis Range 
 Invalid Ref BlkF, fSPh, fSPl, or fDP 
This alarm indicates that the reference value under 
normal condition is invalid. If REFERENCE_BLKF 
is invalid, the blockage detection excluding VALUE_
BLKF is carried out. If blockage detection function 
based on VALUE_BLKF is required, obtain the 
reference value again.
Also when REFERENCE_DPAVG is below DIAG_
LIM [10] or exceeds DIAG_LIM [9], all reference 
value becomes invalid so that “Invalid Ref fDP”, 
“Invalid Ref fSPl”, “Invalid Ref fSPh”, and “Invalid 
Ref BlkF” are generated.
A8.2.5.4 Alarm Masking
 DIAG_OPTION
The alarms linked to an analog alert and LCD 
display are selected by DIAG_OPTION in the 
SENSOR Transducer block. The BIT of DIAG_
OPTION is corresponding to that of DIAG_ERR.
To link the alarm to an analog alert and LCD display, 
follow the procedure below.
1) Set "Stop" to DIAG_MODE.
2) Check each checkbox of the alarm, which is 
selectable from bit 2 to bit 14.
Note:  The bit 13 and 14 are used for Heat trace monitoring 
function.
  Set to “Calculation” after setting the parameters.
