10 Troubleshooting

Description

Cause / remedy

The sensor will not allow
polling requests.

Sensor (no dummy cover) installed

Check power supply voltage in the connection
(terminal) box and on the sensor

Check interface connection

False device ID



check ID

RS485 cable A / B reversed

False baud rate set (sensor, ISOCON-UMB)

False protocol set or used (binary, ASCII)

Freezing temperature is
not calculated.

Start conditions not fulfilled (road temperature above
set temperature)

Sensor surface dry

Measurement cycle not yet completed (lasts up to 20
minutes)

Interference during calculation of freezing temperature
due to external influences in critical phases of the
measurement cycle

Sensor surface heavily soiled -> clean sensor surface
with water

Green protective foil not removed ->

remove green

protective foil

Determined freezing
temperature is reset after
a few minutes

Sensor is resetting

Power supply overloaded

Unstable power supply

Related to an LCOM-UMB: Misconfiguration of LCOM,
thereby resetting the UMB-Modules every x minutes
(default is 15 Minutes)

Salt concentration channel
delivers error message

Start conditions not fulfilled (road temperature above
set temperature)

Sensor surface dry

Measurement cycle not yet completed (lasts up to 20
minutes)

Interference during calculation of freezing temperature
due to external influences in critical phases of the
measurement cycle

Sensor surface heavily soiled ->

clean sensor surface

with water

Green protective foil not removed->

remove green
