Trouble-shooting 

Trouble 

Phenomenon

 

Trouble Reason

 

Solution

 

The instrument does 

not show, and does not 

work

Power supply error. 

Wiring error.

 

Check the power supply. 

Check the wiring.

 

The instrument 

doesn’t work but with 

show.

 

The probe doesn’t aim at the liquid or 

the material. 

The surface has great fluctuations. 

 

Liquid surface with lots of foam. 

The container is empty and the bottom 

is not flat. 

Adjust  the  sensor  and  aim  at  the 

material. 

Add a tube to the container or Use 

the static water Wells. 

Add a tube to the container. 

Add  the  water  and  the  instrument 

will work well. 

The instrument shows 

unstable or the 

measured value has a 

great deviation.

 

Wrong  setting  about  the  weir  type 

number  or  the  installation  height  or  the 

flow rate unit. 

The level enters the blanking distance. 

 

 

There 

is 

strong 

electromagnetic 

interference. 

There  is  Obstruction  of  the  ultrasonic 

wave. 

  There are floaters on the liquid. 

 

 

  Check the settings. 

 

 

Increase  the  installation  height  of 

the  instrument,  or  prevent  the  level 

too high. 

Increase 

shielding 

to 

the 

instrument. 

Change  the  installation  site  or 

using a plastic tube. 

Eliminate floater. 

The probe is fixed in 

circular tube 

Suggest the diameter of the tube is greater than 80 mm, the length is not more 

than 400 mm.
