Fault Finding
NOTE: THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE UNIT
The MXD70 Series has been designed to include a wide range of self diagnostic test, some of which are
performed at switch on, and some on a continuous basis. This guide aims to provide a route to
diagnosing and correcting any faults that may occur during normal operation. The table shown
previously in this section gives a list of errors that the MXD70 series generates, along with their
probable causes. If after these checks the fault has not been cleared contact LTH. Please have as much
of the following information available as possible in any communication with LTH, to enable quick
diagnosis and correction of the problem.
Serial number of the instrument, input and output cards.
The approximate date of purchase.
The software version of the instrument.
Details of the program settings and application.
Electrical environment and supply details.
Circumstances under which the fault occurred.
The nature of the fault or faults.
Any error messages that are displayed.
The sensor type, cable length and type.
Current output configuration.
Relay connection configuration.
It is often worthwhile to check the measurement by an independent method, for example using a
handheld meter.
The Instrument Appears Dead
Check that power is available to the unit. Using a voltmeter, set to AC or DC, check the power supply
voltage at the connector. The design of the MXD70 Series allows the unit to accept from 85 to 250V AC
or DC, an alternative option allows operation from 18 to 32V AC or DC, check the connection label for
voltage specification. Check that the power cable is securely and correctly attached. There are no user
serviceable fuses fitted within this unit.
The Access Code Does Not Work
It is probable that the access code has either been changed or the operator does not recall the code
correctly. Contact LTH or your local distributor should this problem arise.
The Sensor Reading Is Constantly Over-range or Under-range
Ensure that the sensor and temperature input is correctly connected (see Installation Section) and
that the sensor is not faulty or damaged.
Check that the correct probe type has been selected within the Channel Setup menu (see page 25).
If the units are set to pH, check the temperature compensation state (see Channel Setup Section
page 25). If the compensation is set to “Manual” check that the fixed temperature is at the correct
level. If the compensation is “Automatic” check that the temperature reading on the main display is
correct.
