What to do if the actual mA output does not match the displayed value on my K-TEK MT5000?
If the actual mA output of your K-TEK Transmitter doesn't match the displayed value, it could be due to an improper DAC trim. In this case you should perform a DAC Trim. Another potential cause is shorted RFI filters in the terminal strip, so replacing the terminal strip is suggested.
Why does my K-TEK MT5000 Transmitter have no display and no mA output?
If your K-TEK Transmitter displays no output and no mA output, the issue might stem from an inadequate supply voltage. You should check the power supply voltage. Alternatively, there could be an electronics failure, which would require replacing the electronics module.
How to fix output spiking high on K-TEK MT5000?
If the output of your K-TEK Transmitter is spiking high, it could be due to a blanking area that is too short. You should verify the proper Nozzle Length in the BASIC SETUP menu. From the WAVEFORM AT COUPLER display extend the Blanking (BLK) past obstructions. Another possible cause is a threshold voltage that is too high, so readjust the LTV for the return signal from the WAVEFORM display.
What to do if the output is too low on my K-TEK MT5000 Transmitter?
If the output of your K-TEK Transmitter is too low, it could be due to inadequate supply voltage, so check the power supply voltage. Alternatively, current drain in the wiring might be the issue, so check the wiring for ground faults or water in the conduit.
What to do if my K-TEK MT5000 has no display but has mA output?
If your K-TEK Transmitter has no display but has mA output, this could be due to electronics failure. In this case, replace the electronics module.
Why did my K-TEK MT5000 stop working after installing a new IS barrier?
If your K-TEK Transmitter worked until a new IS barrier was installed, it is possible that the barrier does not meet the requirements for the transmitter. Verify the barrier specifications to match ELE1014.
