8.  Troubleshooting 

8.1  Instrument Function Troubleshooting 

Symptom 

Possible Causes 

Remedy 

No display 

1.  Mains power input not 

switched on. 

2.  Mains power input 

incorrectly connected. 

3.  Instrument is faulty. 

Switch power ON. 
 

Check connections (see 
section 3.4.1). 

Return to TPS for repair. 

Alarm LED or 
relay output do 
not operate when 
limit is exceeded. 

1.  Limit not set correctly for 

“too high” or “too low” 
alarm/control. 

2.  Hysteresis too large. 

 
 
 

3.  Fuse has blown. 

 

4.  Instrument is faulty. 

Set the 

J3

 or 

J4 Polarity 

jumpers correctly (see 
section 3.5.3 ). 

Check and adjust the 
Hysteresis trimmer (see 
section 3.5.4). If in doubt, 
set this to minimum level. 

Check and replace fuse if 
necessary (see section 7). 

Return to TPS for repair. 

Incorrect 
analogue output 
signal. 

1. 

Current/Voltage Output

 

jumpers incorrectly set 
for required output. 
 
 
 

2.  4-20mA loop resistance 

too high. 

3.  Load on 0-1V DC output 

is too low. 

4.  4-20mA output is not 

calibrated. 

5.  Instrument is faulty. 

Check that the 
Current/Voltage Output 
jumpers are correctly set for 
4-20mA or 0-1V, as per 
requirements. Adjust if 
necessary (see section 3.6). 

Ensure loop resistance does 
not exceed 500 Ohms. 

Ensure load is 1000 Ohms 
minimum. 

Calibrate 4-20mA output 
(see section 3.7). 

Return to TPS for repair.
