Operating Instructions PT-LE

7.

Display (Option)

To show up the readings, the PT-LE can also be fitted out with a display. The 
readings will be shown in either Pa or kPa depending on the limiting value of the 
measuring range. The number of the measuring range selected is always shown on 
the bottom line of the display.

On switching on a display-equipped appliance, the first thing shown is the PT-LE
programme version followed by a 1.5 second screening of the limiting value of the 
selected measuring range and then the actual readings.

8.

Setting the Relay Operating Point (Option)

The relay operating point can be adjusted with the aid of the P2.1 potentiometer. 
Adjustment is easiest when the desired switching pressure is applied and the 
potentiometer set so that the relay is just triggered.

Please note: The relay is connected to the sensor's output so that any adjusted 
time delay will also cause a delay in relay triggering.

In case of Malfunctions

Fault descritpion

Possible cause

Corrective action

No output signal

- Supply voltage is not 

connected

- Incorrect supply voltage 

connected

- Defective input protection diode

Only for DC power:
- defective reverse polarity diode

- Connect correct supply voltage

- Connect correct supply voltage

(see rating plate)

- Send the appliance to the manufacturer 

for repairs

- Send the appliance to the manufacturer

for repairs

Output signal is 
constant despite 
change in pressure

- Defective output protection

Diode

- Pressure ports reversed

- Send the appliance to the manufacturer 

for repairs

- Connect the pressure as described in 

„3. Installation“

Output signal 
incorrect

- Faulty pressure sensor

- Zeroing with pressure applied

For current output:
- load too high

For voltage output:
- load resistance too low

- Send the appliance tot he manufacturer 

for repairs

- Renewed zeroing without pressure

- Note maximum
