Fault areas and causes
The table below explains the possible fault causes.
Fault area
Explanation
Possible causes
Load circuit interrupted after U
R
pickoff point
- Wire break, heatsealing band break
- Contact to heatsealing band defective
Current transformer signal inter-
rupted
- I
R
measuring wires from current transformer interrupted
Primary circuit interrupted
- Wire break, triac in controller defective
- Primary winding of impulse transformer interrupted
Secondary circuit interrupted
before U
R
pickoff point
- Wire break
- Secondary winding of impulse transformer interrupted
U
R
signal missing
- Measuring wires interrupted
Partial short-circuit (delta R)
- Heatsealing band partially bypassed by conducting part
(clamp, opposite heatsealing bar etc.)
Parallel circuit interrupted
- Wire break, heatsealing band break
- Contact to heatsealing band defective
Total short-circuit
- Heatsealing band installed incorrectly, insulation at
heatsealing bar ends missing or incorrectly installed
- Conducting part bypasses heatsealing band completely
U
R
signal incorrect
- Up to March 2005: DIP switches 1 - 3 configured incorrectly
(U
