    How to troubleshoot no 4-20mA signal from Limaco Transmitter?
    • H

      If the 4-20mA signal is not being delivered, check the transmitter's power supply and electrical connections to ensure they meet specifications. If abnormalities are found, correct them. Also, verify the 4-20mA output electrical connection isn't broken or has excessive line resistance; reconnect the line or reduce the load if needed. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the transmitter electronic unit may have failed, and the device should be returned for repair.

    Why is the Limaco Transmitter 4-20mA signal inconsistent with the actual value?
    • T
      Timothy CarrilloAug 25, 2025
      If the 4-20mA signal is inconsistent with the actual value of the controlled parameter, it could be due to a failure in the level transmitter's electronic unit. Check the current signal functioning using emulation. If the electronic unit is operating correctly, record the spectrum and send it to technical support for further recommendations. If there is an inconsistency, return the device for repair.

    How to fix no RS-485 connection on Limaco ULM-31A1-HF?

      If there is no RS-485 connection, but the 4-20mA signal is being delivered and the communication line is operating properly, the issue might be with the PC's configuration. Check the converter function in the Device Manager and set the converter as required. Also, verify that the transmitter's Modbus address is correctly set and that there are no address conflicts with other transmitters on the line. Ensure the correct transmitter number is indicated in the Configurator software. Finally, check if any other applications are using the COM-port; if so, switch them off and restart the PC if necessary.

    What to do if Limaco ULM-31A1-HF 4-20mA signal corresponds to alarm values?
    • M
      Michael JohnsonNov 15, 2025
      If the 4-20mA signal corresponds to alarm values, it may be due to controlled parameters exceeding permissible values. Connect to the transmitter via PC or Bluetooth to check if the alarm signal value matches its mask. Other potential causes include: - Transmitter temperature beyond range: Remove the source of overheating, insulate the transmitter, use forced-air cooling, or install a sun shield. - Lack of transmitter perpendicularity: Correct by leveling the device. - Unreliable temperature or tilt angle measurement: The related channels in the electronic module may be faulty. Overheat prevention is necessary, or the device should be returned for repair. - Product surface disturbance: Further operation is allowed. - Transient conditions: Wait 1-2 minutes after switching on.
