Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Transmitter indicates a
current of 0 mA
Check the EchoSonic® II wiring for an open circuit. An open circuit is
the most common issue with a 0 mA signal.
Transmitter jumps to a
current reading between
19 and 20 mA
Check the EchoSonic® II installation. Bad installation fittings will cause
false signals near the top of the tank, which typically translates to a
signal between 19 and 20 mA. Also look for interference just below the
transmitter. If the transmitter is installed in a metal fitting, switch to a
plastic fitting.
Transmitter indicates a
current over 23 mA
Check the wiring for a short circuit. The EchoSonic® II is current limited
to 22 mA. Anything above 22 mA indicates a short circuit..
Transmitter always jumps
to LOST condition
Check the dimensional configuration (
Sensor
Height
and
Fill‐Height
) of
the EchoSonic® II. Make sure that the
Fill‐H
setting corresponds to the
full level of liquid (from the bottom up) and not the distance from the
transmitter to the liquid (top down).
Output of transmitter is
opposite of the level of
liquid
Check the
Output at Empty
Setting.
No Unit Detected in
WebCal®
WebCal® cannot detect an EchoSonic® II connected to the computer.
Check that the Fob is connected to the USB® port.
Check that all four wires (Red, Black, White and Green) are securely
attached to the Fob.
Check in Device Manager that both drivers (WebCal® Configuration
& EchoFob) are present.
Internet error. The server
name or address could not
be resolved.
This is a warning indicating the computer configuring EchoSonic® II is
not connected to the internet. Click
OK
to continue. Flowline
recommends being connecting to the internet for all configurations.
Not being connected to the internet will not prevent the EchoSonic® II
from being configured.
Cannot access some of the
features in Configuration
As choices are made in Configuration, WebCal® will begin to eliminate
functions that are not applicable to a configuration. To reset
Configuration or get access to all the features, click on the
Clear Screen
button.
