Troubleshooting
This section provides troubleshooting techniques for most common operating
problems.
6.1
No Display
1.
Check the power supply connection
2.
Check the power fuse for faults
3.
Check the contrast of LCD and adjust
6.2
Exciting Alarm
1.
Check the connection of the exciting cables
2.
Check the total resistance of sensor’s exciting coil resistances (less than
150Ω)
3.
If first and second points are OK, then the converter is faulty
6.3
Empty Pipe Alarm
If measured fluid full of testing pipe of sensor:
1.
Short circuit three connectors SIG 1, SIG 2, SGND of converter; if no “Empty
Alarm” is displayed then the converter works. In this case, it is possible that
the conductivity of measured fluid may be limited or the empty threshold of
the empty pipe and the range of the empty pipe are incorrectly set
2.
Check if the signal cable is OK
3.
Check if the electro-poles are OK or not
4.
Let the flow be zero, then the displayed conductivity should be less than 100%
5.
Resistances of SIG1 to SGND and SIG2 to SGND are all less than 50kΩ
(conductivity of water) during measurement operation. (It is better to test the
resistances by means of multi-meter with pointer to see the charging process
well
6.4
Measure Flow Disallow
If measured fluid full of testing pipe of sensor, check if the signal cable is OK.
