6. What should be done in the event of functional disorder?
6.1 Typical installation faults and their consequences
Cause
Consequences
Faulty pin allocation
No signal
Ambient temperature too high
Component failure
Cylinder borehole too small
Component damage because the sensor has been hammered down too
violently
Cylinder borehole after welding too small
Component damage because the sensor has been hammered down too
violently
Pointed or sharp edges
Damage to cables and cores
Rude sensor handling
Destruction of internal components, cables and connectors
Welding after installation
High-energy voltage peaks or currents are fed to the sensor head, damage of
housing components or electronics components
Destruction of cables
Short circuit, electronics failure
Untight connectors
Liquids can penetrate into the sensor housing through cables or strands and
cause short circuit or corrosion of electronics components.
Distance washers missing or installed in wrong
order
Signal offset = 5 mm
Faulty connection of ground / shield
Output signal trouble or destruction of electronics
6.2 Test and programming
A separate test device can be used for testing the sensor functionality. For function testing, and in order to minimize the sources of trouble dur-
ing testing, the test device should be connected to the sensor only directly. Via a PC, the sensor function can be tested and basic sensor settings
(node ID, baud rate, cycle time) can be realized very easily.
