A Cold Loop check is cold because it is done without
powering the loop.

A cold check consists of checking wire continuity from the
field instrument through junction boxes and through DCS/PLC
marshalling panel terminals to the control panel. Once
continuity has been confirmed, then a Hot Loop Check is
performed on the Loop's I/O.

A Hot loop check is 'hot' because it is done with the loop
powered up.

A Hot loop check consists of
- simulating a process input at the field instrument and
then checking the instrument's output and the response to
the process signal input at DCS/PLC.

- simulating outputs at the control end and checking for
correct response at the field end.

Hot loop check is power up checking .cold loop checking is continuity only. 

Answer / krishnan kumar sharma

Hot loop cheak on point stabilise the instrument in field and the cold loop cheak from the junction box to DCS /PLC .

why 4ma show higher zero ? i have transmiter flow renge 0-1000 m3/h but 4 ma show in monitoring 200 m3/h and 20 ma show 1000 m3/h i want when 4ma show 0 m3/h and 20ma 1000m3/h
