17 Troubleshooting
17.1 Status LED and device status
The status LED (
MOD STATUS
) on the transmitter display provides a quick indication of device status by
changing color and flashing. If the transmitter was ordered without a display, the LEDs on the outputs board
inside the transmitter provide the same information.

2. Verify the configuration of the API referral application and related parameters.
17.2.2 Inaccurate referred density reading
Cause
•
Inaccurate density measurement
•
Inaccurate temperature measurement
