7.4 Transducer Cable Continuity Test
When difficulties are encountered with the ViscoSite transmitter and/or
transducer, a transducer cable continuity test can provide as much information
as to what may be the cause as it can to what is not the cause.
A continuity test of the wires should be carried out on the transducer cable using
a multimeter set to measure electrical resistance (
Ω
, Ohms.) Table 7.2 shows the
expected resistance (in Ohms) between specific pins of the terminal block with
and without the intrinsically safe barriers present.
