Incorrect meas. turbidity
and/or temperature
Transmitter module defective
(module: MKT1), please first carry
out tests and take measures as per
the "Process errors without
messages" section to make sure that
the error is not in the cabling or in
the sensor
Measuring input test:
Simulation of the sensor is not possible.
Test the input with new or different
sensor.
If test negative: replace module (note
variant).
Perform with the aid of the exploded
view drawings in the "Spare parts" section.
If test positive: check peripherals once
more.
Erroneous data transfer Replace module LSGA (AC) or LSGD (DC) See "Spare parts" section.
Data transfer disturbed (EMC)
Check cable routing. Separate sensor
cable from supply cables.
Connect sensor cable screen to "S"
terminal , do not ground.
Wrong sensor cable / cable too long
Max. line length with extension is 200 m
(656 ft.); use only cable type CYK81
