IN CASE OF ERROR

The HMI41 goes through a continuous self-diagnostic procedure. If any
problems occur, it displays the corresponding error message:

where nn = the number indicating the error

Whenever you come across an error message or your indicator does not
function as it should, first check that the probe is correctly connected. Then
check that the filter and the steel grid are clean.

10.1

Trouble shooting

In the following, a short list for trouble shooting:

PROBLEM:

WHAT TO DO:

the display is blank

- check the batteries (see Chapters 3.1 and 9.1)
- if the batteries are ok, contact Vaisala or a Vaisala
representative

the display is dim

- during automatic data collecting, the display is dim
except when the readings are updated (once in a
minute)

the readings seem to
be wrong

- allow enough time for the probe to stabilize to
  the ambient temperature
- check that the probe is correctly connected to the
indicator
- check that the steel grid and the membrane filter are
clean
- make sure that the measurement point is clean and
that there is no condensated water
- check that the settings are correct (see
Chapter 10.2)

you have accidentally
changed some settings

- enter the setup mode, select the setting with
  ENTER and change it with buttons 

 or 

 (see

  table on the next page). The pressure setting has to
  be acknowledged with ENTER.
