How do I troubleshoot a High Volume Alarm on my Magnetrol Transmitter?
If your Magnetrol Transmitter is showing a High Volume Alarm, check the settings for Vessel Dimensions and Custom Table entries.
What should I do if my Magnetrol Transmitter displays a 'No Probe' error?
If your Magnetrol Transmitter is showing a 'No Probe' error, ensure that the 'Model 706 Style' probe is attached. Torque the HF nut, and clean the gold pin on the transmitter and the socket on the probe. If problems continue, contact MAGNETROL Technical Support.
What to do if my Magnetrol Transmitter has an Echo Lost error?
To address an Echo Lost issue on your Magnetrol Transmitter, check the following settings: Upper Dielectric, Blocking Distance, and Sensitivity. Ensure the Upper Level is below the blocking distance. Also, view the Echo Curve.
What does 'Calibration Req’d' mean on my Magnetrol Eclipse 706 Transmitter and how do I fix it?
If your Magnetrol Transmitter displays 'Calibration Req’d', return the transmitter to the factory for recalibration.
How to fix a High Elec Temp error on Magnetrol Eclipse 706?
To resolve a High Elec Temp issue with your Magnetrol Transmitter, shield the transmitter from the heat source or increase air circulation. Alternatively, locate the transmitter remotely in a cooler area.
What to do if Totalizer Data is lost on Magnetrol Eclipse 706 Transmitter?
If the Totalizer Data is lost on your Magnetrol Transmitter, it is recommended to contact MAGNETROL Technical Support for assistance.
What should I do if my Magnetrol Transmitter shows a Ramp Interval Error?
If you are experiencing a Ramp Interval Error with your Magnetrol Transmitter, verify the accuracy of the Level reading. If the issue persists, consider replacing the transmitter electronics. If problems continue, contact MAGNETROL Technical Support.
