If the Dräger Transmitter has a faulty zero calibration, perform a zero calibration.
What to do if Dräger Polytron 8100 has a faulty zero calibration?
If the Dräger Transmitter has a faulty zero calibration, perform a zero calibration.
What to do if Dräger Polytron 8100 has a faulty span calibration?
If the Dräger Transmitter has a faulty span calibration, perform a span calibration.
What to do if my Dräger Polytron 8100 shows a fault?
If the Dräger Transmitter shows a fault, try resetting it to factory default settings. If the fault persists, it may need to be checked by DrägerService due to various potential causes.
What to do if Dräger Polytron 8100 Transmitter has fault #001 #003 #004 #005 #011 - #014 #020 - #024 #043 #060 #067?
If the Dräger Transmitter has one of these faults, it should be inspected by DrägerService due to the variety of potential causes.
What to do if Dräger Polytron 8100 shows instrument fault #076 #080 - #084?
If the Dräger Transmitter shows a fault, start by checking the electrical connections. If the issue continues, it might need to be inspected by DrägerService due to an instrument fault.
What to do if my Dräger Transmitter is not detecting any sensor?
If the Dräger Transmitter isn't detecting any sensor, first check the connections. If the problem continues, the instrument may need to be inspected by DrägerService.
What to do if Dräger Polytron 8100 Transmitter displays fault #137?
If the Dräger Transmitter displays fault #137, try cycling the power. If the fault persists, the instrument should be checked by DrägerService.
How to fix Dräger Polytron 8100 fault #010?
If the Dräger Transmitter displays fault #010, disconnect the power supply, connect the 4 to 20 mA interface cable, and then reconnect the power supply. If using it as a stand-alone instrument without a central controller, wire pin 3 to pin 4.
Why does my Dräger Polytron 8100 show fault #090?
If fault #090 appears on the Dräger Transmitter, it means the sensor lock function is activated and a sensor with a different part number has been connected. Use a sensor with the same part number or disable the sensor lock function.
What to do if Dräger Transmitter has fault #105?
If the Dräger Transmitter has fault #105, it should be inspected by DrägerService due to an instrument fault.
