8.  PROBLEMS, MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY

8.1  Probe errors

Error

Reason

Action

E1-E1

The probe 

Pr1

 may be interrupted 

or in short circuit, or may measure a 
value outside the allowed range

Check the correct 
connection of the 
probe with the in-
strument and check 
the probe works 
correctly

E2-E2

The probe 

Pr2

 may be interrupted 

or in short circuit, or may measure a 
value outside the allowed range

----

Process measurement not available

8.2  Other errors

Error

Reason

Action

ErAt

Auto-tuning not pos-
sible because the 
process value is too 
high or too low

Press the 

 keyin order to make 

the error message disappear. 
Once the error has been found, 
try to repeat the auto-tuning

noAt

Auto-tuning not fin-
ished within 12 hours

Check the the probe and actuator 
functioning and try to repeat the 
auto-tuning

LbA

Loop control interrupt-
ed (Loop break alarm)

Check the the probe and actuator 
functioning and swap the instru-
ment to (

rEG

) control

ErEP

Possible EEPROM 
memory anomaly

Press the 

 key

In error conditions, the instrument provides the output power 
programmed with parameter 

oPE

 and activates the desired 

alarm(s), if the relative parameters 

ALni

 have been pro-

grammed as 

yES

.

8.3  Cleaning

We recommend cleaning of the instrument with a slightly 
wet cloth using water and not abrasive cleaners or solvents 
which may damage the instrument.

8.4  Warranty and Repairs

The instrument is under warranty against manufacturing 
flaws or faulty material, that are found within 18 months from 
delivery date.
The warranty is limited to repairs or to the replacement of the 
instrument.  The eventual opening of the housing, the viola-
tion of the instrument or the improper use and installation of 
the product will bring about the immediate withdrawal of the 
warranty effects.
In the event of a faulty instrument, either within the period 
of warranty, or further to its expiry, please contact our sales 
department to obtain authorisation for sending the instru-
ment to our company.  The faulty product must be shipped 
to Ascon Tecnologic with a detailed description of the faults 
found, without any fees or charge for Ascon Tecnologic, 
except in the event of different agreements.

8.5  Disposal

The appliance (or the product) must be disposed 

of separately in compliance with the local standards 

in force on waste disposal.
