What to do if Magnetrol Measuring Instruments indicates excessive environmental noise?
If your Magnetrol Measuring Instruments system indicates excessive environmental noise, check for potential interference sources. This includes variable frequency drives (VFDs), radiated electrical interference (like two-way radio transceivers), or mechanical vibration from nearby equipment.
How to troubleshoot transducer problems in Magnetrol Measuring Instruments?
If your Magnetrol Measuring Instruments displays a problem related to the transducer, piezoelectric crystals, or interconnection wiring, begin by inspecting the wiring inside the housing. Ensure all wires are securely fastened within their respective terminal blocks and that all terminal block screws are fully tightened. If the wiring is secure and the issue persists, contact the factory or replace the transducer.
What to do if Magnetrol Measuring Instruments indicates a problem with the electronics boards?
If your Magnetrol Measuring Instruments system indicates a problem with one of the electronics boards, contact the factory to get a replacement electronics module.
What to do if the Fault LED is ON in Magnetrol Switch?
If the Fault LED is ON in your Magnetrol Switch, it indicates a system fault. First, check the input power. If the issue persists, inspect the wiring between the transducer and electronics, and consider replacing the transducer. You can press the «LEVEL TEST» button to identify the problem, interpreting the flash patterns. If the unit senses excessive noise interference, check the shield connection or eliminate interference from nearby sources like radios.
Why is my Magnetrol Echotel 961 output chattering?
If you observe chattering output from your Magnetrol Switch, it could be due to several reasons. Excessive aeration or turbulence might be the cause, in which case, introducing a time delay may help. You should also check the input power. Relocating the switch could also resolve the issue. If the switch is installed horizontally, ensure that the transducer gap is oriented vertically to allow proper drainage and prevent air bubbles from accumulating.
How to troubleshoot no output signal on Magnetrol Switch?
If your Magnetrol Switch shows no output signal, begin by checking the wiring and input power. Also, check for malfunction (962).
What to do if no change in output between wet gap / dry gap in Magnetrol Echotel 961?
If there is no change in output between wet gap and dry gap in your Magnetrol Switch, the gap may be plugged by solids or dense foam, so you should clean the transducer. Alternatively, the gap may be out of reach of the liquid, so check the mounting section and relocate the unit or check blocking valves.
What to do if there is no signal with level change on my Magnetrol Switch?
If the Magnetrol Switch shows no signal despite level changes, first verify the wiring to ensure the correct input voltage is supplied. Also, confirm that the liquid is actually reaching the gap; if it's in a riser or standpipe, ensure there's a vent to allow liquid to enter and wet the transducer gap. Finally, check for dense foam on the surface or dried product in the gap, as either condition can prevent proper function.
Why is my Magnetrol Echotel 961 Switch chattering?
If your Magnetrol Switch is chattering, start by checking that the proper input voltage is supplied. Turbulence can also cause chattering, so relocate the switch or isolate it from the turbulence. Excessive aeration may also be the reason of the problem. If the switch is installed horizontally, ensure the 961 transducer gap is oriented vertically.
What to do if the Fault LED flashes three times on my Magnetrol Echotel 961 Switch?
If the Fault LED on your Magnetrol Switch flashes three times, it indicates excessive environmental noise. Check for any nearby sources that might be causing interference and correct the issue to ensure the unit operates correctly.
