Abnormalities appear in measurement.
: Areas where self-diagnostic offers support
Is process variable
itself abnormal?
Inspect the
process system.
Isolate problem in
measurement system.
Does problem exist in
receiving instrument?
Check/correct
environmental conditions.
Inspect receiver.
Check transmitter.
Check/correct operating
conditions.

Connect communicator and check self-diagnostics.
Does the self-diagnostic
indicate problem location?
Contact Yokogawa service personnel.

The following sorts of symptoms indicate that transmitter
may not be operating properly.
Example : • There is no output signal.
• Output signal does not change even though
process variable is known to be varying.
• Output value is inconsistent with value
inferred for process variable.
Is power supply
polarity correct?
Are power
supply voltage and load
resistance correct?
Refer to Section 6.3 to check/correct
polarity at each terminal from power
supply to the terminal box.
Fix pressure leaks, paying particular
attention to connections for impulse
piping,pressure-detector section, etc.
Fully close equalizing valve, and fully
open high pressure and low pressure
valves.
Refer to Section 6.6 for rated voltage
and load resistance.
Find/correct broken conductor or
wiring error.
Are valves opened or
closed correctly?
Is there any pressure leak?
Is there
continuity through the
transmitter loop wiring?
Do the loop numbers
match?
