Trouble-shooting TMT162
34 Endress+Hauser
!
Note!
If more than one fault is active, then the fault with the highest priority will be displayed. Once this
fault has been remedied the next fault is displayed! Multiple fault occurances can be recognized by
an "Offset" of 1000.
Unit reaction to sensor faults
The icon "Warning" and error code appear in the display on warnings and errors. On error, the
bargraph in the display also flashes - instead of the measured value only the error code is displayed.
(See also chapter 5.2).
9.2.1 Corrosion detection
Sensor connection cable corrosion can lead to false measured value readings. Therefore our unit
offers the possibility to recognize any corrosion before the measured values are affected.
There are 2 different steps selectable dependent on the application requirements:
• off (warning output just before reaching the alarm set point. This allows preventative
maintenance/trouble-shooting to be done).
• on (no warning. immediate alarm)
The following table shows the reaction of the device on sensor cable connection resistance change.
These also indicate the reaction dependent on the parameter selection on/off.

Corrosion detection only for RTD 4-wire connection
