46105-EN-210714
Cause
Rectification
Sensor not connected
correctly
•
In Ex systems, make sure that the Ex protection
is not influenced by the measuring instruments
used.
•
Measure the current and voltage on the connec-
tion cable to the sensor
•
Faults in the sensor that cause a current change
under 0.05 mA or over 6.8 mA lead to a fault
signal with controllers.
•
In idle state, the terminal voltage (without sensor)
is at least 8.2 V
•
The controller has an inner resistance of 1 kOhm.
With this, the voltages for the different currents
can be calculated.
Sensor current
< 0.05 mA
•
Check controller
•
Check the terminal voltage in idle state on the
controller; if it is < 8 V, the controller is defective ->
exchange controller or return it for repair
•
If the terminal voltage is > 8 V, disconnect the
sensor cable at the controller and replace it
with a 1 kΩ resistor. If the fault signal does not
disappear, the controller is defective -> exchange
controller or return it for repair
•
Check sensor or sensor cable
•
Reconnect the sensor cable to the controller,
disconnect the sensor and replace it with a 1 kΩ
resistor. If the fault signal does not disappear,
then the sensor cable is broken -> replace the
sensor cable
•
If there is no longer a fault signal on the line, the
sensor is defective -> exchange sensor or return
it for repair
Sensor current > 6.8 mA
•
Check controller
•
Disconnect sensor cable and replace it with a
1 kΩ resistor. If the fault signal does not disap
-
pear, the controller is defective -> exchange
controller or return it for repair
•
Check sensor or sensor cable
•
Reconnect the sensor cable to the controller,
disconnect the sensor and replace it with a 1 kΩ
resistor. If the fault signal does not disappear,
then the sensor cable is short-circuited -> elimi-
nate the short-circuit or replace the sensor cable
•
If there is no longer a fault signal on the line, the
sensor is defective -> exchange sensor or return
it for repair
7.4 How to proceed if a repair is necessary
You can find an instrument return form as well as detailed information
about the procedure in the download area of our homepage. By doing
this you help us carry out the repair quickly and without having to call
back for needed information.
In case of repair, proceed as follows:
•
Print and fill out one form per instrument
