To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Ametek Transmitter always output 0 mA?
If the output of the Ametek transmitter is constantly at 0 mA, it likely indicates a loop problem. Check the voltage at the transmitter and verify the polarity of the loop. Also, test the transmitter itself.
What to do if Ametek Transmitter output exceeds 20 mA?
If the output current of the Ametek transmitter constantly exceeds 20 mA, check for moisture in the sensor head. Test the sensing element and the transmitter. Also, verify the calibration.
Why does the output of my Ametek Transmitter drift?
If the output of the Ametek transmitter drifts over time, test the transmitter without the sensing element to perform a drift test. Also, verify that the sensing element has a proper ground reference.
Why is the output of my Ametek Transmitter erratic?
If the output of the Ametek transmitter is erratic, test the transmitter, check the process level, check for static discharge and check for radio interference.
Why are the readings on my Ametek Transmitter inaccurate?
If the level readings on your Ametek transmitter are inaccurate compared to the actual known level, check the calibration, test the transmitter, and verify the method of comparison used.
Why does Ametek Transmitter output go in opposite direction from level change?
If the output of your Ametek transmitter goes in the opposite direction from the level change, check the calibration. This issue is probably due to a high point/low point calibration reversal or an inverted interface application.
Why is the output of my Ametek Transmitter intermittent?
If the output of the Ametek transmitter is intermittent, check the signal loop connections, as this is likely due to an intermittent loop connection.
Why doesn't the reading change with level on my Ametek Transmitter?
If the reading from the Ametek transmitter does not change with the level, check the cables and the sensing element, and test the transmitter.
