Symptom
Possible Cause
Solution
False triggering Electrical disturbances
Damaged probe cable
Moisture in probe cable
Movement in the
probe’s
environment
Dirty or noisy power supply
Lightning
1.
Verify that the earth ground and the probe shield are
both connected to terminal 6 securely. If the connection
is not secure, reconnect both the probe shield and the
earth ground and retest the system.
2.
Disconnect the probe wires and see if the false
triggering continues. If the false triggering stops, check
the probe as outlined below in step 3. If the false
triggering continues, disconnect the power and
temporarily connect a 9 or 12V battery to the CS101 and
reconnect the probe. Wait 5 minutes for the system to
stabilize. If the false triggering stops, consider using a
separate power supply for the CS101 such as a 120 VAC
to 12 VDC power converter (min. 100 ma).
Reconnect the probe and retest the system.
3.
Inspect the area around the probe to see if any ferrous
metal objects may be subject to any movement.
These may include fences, flagpoles, signs, etc. Other
possible causes are electrical power lines, electric
motors, invisible dog fences, low voltage lighting and
high-power lighting.
No output
(but red LED
indicates
detection)
Bad wire connection
Failed relay
1.
Disconnect the output contacts from the operator.
2.
Connect a digital multimeter, set to read ohms,
to the COM and NO contacts.
3.
The meter should read open (infinity). Move a
metal tool over the length of the probe. Verify that the
red LED turns on and that the meter reads less than
10 ohms. If red LED turns on and the meter reads
more than 10 ohms, the CS101 is defective.
No detection
Minimum 5 mph
Bad wire connection
Faulty power connection
Failed relay
Failed probe
1.
Check to see if the detection LED turns on. If so, check
the relay output and related connections.
2.
Verify that the green LED is on. If not, check the supply
voltage using a digital multimeter. Verify the voltage is
9-41 VDC or 6-29 VAC. If voltage is present and there is
still no detection, the CS101 is defective.
3.
Disconnect the probe wires from the CS101.
Using a digital multimeter, measure the resistance
between the red and black wires. If not 950 ohms
+/-
10%,
then
the
probe
is
defective.
Check the resistance between the probe shield wire and
the red and black wires and verify that the meter
indicates open (infinity).
