15.3 Remedy

Display

Reason

Remedy

System start

System restores itself to normal operation after delay

Keyboard locked

Keyboard lock is ON (max. 60 sec)

System restores itself to normal operation after delay

Sensor alarm

Input power <  4mA
Input power > 21mA
or faulty input module

•  Check sensor connection
•  Replace input module

"measurand" not calibrated

corresponding input not calibrated

Calibrate corresponding input

"measurand" calibration not OK

•  Insufficient measuring cell transconductance
•  Excessive zero point drift 

Buffer solution not ok, or replace measuring cell

Sensor or single-rod measuring cell not compliant with 
DIN standards

Check and replace measuring input sensor if necessary

Defective input module

Check and replace the input module if necessary

Faulty potentiometer calibration

3 point step-by-step controller position feedback: no 
calibration performed

Perform a position feedback calibration in the "outputs" 
menu

measuring water shortage 

water is not enough or
through-flow contact is defective

•  Increase sample water flow
•  Check through-flow contact

Low level alert 

Chemicals container is nearly empty

Add chemical agents or change container

Level main alarm 

Chemicals container empty

Add chemical agents or change container

Max alarm

Set measurement exceeded

•  Check measurement or sensor
•  Check controller parameter setting

Min alarm

Measurement below set level

Y alarm

Safety cutout (see item 9.2)

Servo motor alarm

Servo motor has not reached the end position and/or the 
zero point

Check servo motor
