TROUBLESHOOTING

11.2 

Operating the display

Error

Cause

Solution

Expert mode is 

activated

IO-Link communication active

Menu does not 

open

IO-Link Device Access Locks active

See 

“8.5.5 Locking the display without a password”.

The display only 

shows Passwd

Display lock activated with password entry

See 

“8.5.6 Locking the display with a password”.

11.3 

Outputs

Error

Cause

Solution

Switching output 

does not behave as 

expected

Configuration incorrect

Check the configuration of the switching output 

(see 

“8.3 Configuring the switching outputs”

).

Error signal at switching output that is configured 

as input. Sensor is in a safe state

If a switching output is configured as an input, 

check the signal and the system if required.

Cable break

Check the cable.

Analog output does 

not behave as 

expected

Configuration incorrect

Configure the analog output

(see 

“8.4 Configuration of analog outputs”

).

Error signal at switching output that is configured 

as input. Sensor is in a safe state

If a switching output is configured as an input, 

check the signal and the system if required.

Cable break

Check the cable.

IO-Link communica-

tion not possible

Input is set under Q1Mode

Set output under Q1Mode.

11.4 

Error behavior

Error

Cause

Solution

Level display does not change

Insufficient signal quality

Perform empty adjustment, see 

“8.5.4 

Performing empty adjustment”.

Probe is contaminated

Clean the probe.

Easy Clamp used

Perform empty adjustment, see 

“8.5.4 

Performing empty adjustment”.

The displayed level value is greater than 

SPx/RPx/FHx/FLx/QxLow/QxHigh

An offset was configured for the level 

value

Adjust offset, see 

“8.5.11 Setting the 

offset”.

Level is fluctuating

Media surface unsettled

Activate filtering, see 

“8.5.8 Filtering 

measured values”.

Strong EMC interferences

Activate filtering, see 

“8.5.8 Filtering 

measured values”.

Level is not detected, 

 

sensor (at times) indicates too low a 

level (< 50 mm), although a high level 

 

is present.

Threshold is set too high

Check SigQu1 and reduce the threshold 

until a good signal is emitted.

The empty state of the probe has 

changed significantly due to altered 

ambient conditions or aging

Check SigQu4, perform empty adjust

-

ment if required, see 

“8.5.4 Performing 

empty adjustment”
