TMT162 Trouble-shooting
Endress+Hauser 35
The sensor resistance can influence the resistance shown in the tables. On simultaneous increase of
all sensor connection cable resistances the values indicated in the tables can be divided by two.
In corrosion detection it has been assumed that this is a slow process with a continuous increase in
resistance.
9.2.2 Monitoring the supply voltage
If the required supply voltage is undershot, the analog output value drops ≤ 3.6 mA for approx. 3 s.
Error code 19 appears on the display. Afterwards, the device tries to output the normal analog
output value again. If the supply voltage remains too low, the analog output value drops again
to ≤ 3.6 mA. This prevents the device from continuously outputting an incorrect analog output
value.
