5. Check that the device is not operating in low power
The instrument can be configured to operate in low power mode. While in
low power mode, the instrument will not make any measurements but it’s
communication interfaces will be active. To check whether the instrument is
operating in low power mode, check Power management parameter which is
available under... and make sure that Continuous scanning is selected.
6. Make sure that the COM port is not already open
Only one application may use a single COM port in the system. Make sure that no
other open application uses the same COM port that you are trying to open.
7. Try restarting the application and/or the computer
Close and reopen the configurator application and try to establish the connection
again.
Restart your computer and try to establish the connection to the instrument again.
The instrument

1. Make sure that the cable is properly connected to the instrument
Check that the cable M12 circular connector is firmly connected and screwed to the
instrument. It is not sufficient to simply attach the cable connector to the instru
-
ment connector, the cable connector must be screwed into the instrument connec
-
tor.
2. Check power supply
Make sure that the power is being supplied to the instrument. A direct-current volt
-
age, between 9 and 27 Volts must be connected to brown (+) and white (-) wires of
the instrument cable. The power supply must be able to deliver at least 500 mA of
current.
3. Check RS-485 connector
Make sure that the RS-485 lines on the instrument cable are properly connected to
the RS-485 connector. The dark red wire should be connected to D+ line, and the
orange line should be connected to D- line.
Make sure that the D+ and D- lines are not swapped.
Make sure that you have correctly identified and connected the dark red (magenta)
wire, as there is also another bright red wire that is used to provide output power
for 4-20 mA output. It is possible to misidentify the wire and to connect the bright
red wire to D+ instead of dark red wire.
