    What to do if Endress+Hauser Radar displays a communication error?
    • M
      Madeline ReyesAug 29, 2025
      If the display shows 'Communication error' when starting the device or connecting the display on your Endress+Hauser Radar, the issue may be electromagnetic interference. Check the grounding of the device. Alternatively, the display cable or plug might be broken, in which case you should replace the display.

    How to fix invisible values on Endress+Hauser Radar display?
    • C
      Claire WilkinsAug 30, 2025
      If the values on the display of your Endress+Hauser Radar are invisible, the contrast setting may be too weak or too strong. Try these steps: * Increase the contrast by pressing the designated buttons simultaneously. * Decrease the contrast by pressing the designated buttons simultaneously. Alternatively, the display cable plug might not be connected correctly, so ensure it is properly connected. If the issue persists, the display may be defective and require replacement.

    What to do if parameter duplication is not working on Endress+Hauser Radar?
    • J
      John HunterAug 31, 2025
      If the duplication of parameters via display from one device to another is not working on your Endress+Hauser Radar and only the 'Save' and 'Cancel' options are available, it could be because the display with backup is not properly detected if a data backup was not carried out on the new device previously. Connect the display (with backup) and restart the device.
