What does 'EEPrO' mean on my Milltronics Control Unit?
If the Milltronics Control Unit displays 'EEPrO', it indicates a faulty EEPrOM memory chip. Return it to the factory for repair or replacement.
What to do if Milltronics Control Unit reading is erratic?
If the reading is erratic with little or no relation to the material level, the true echo may be too weak or the wrong echo is being processed. Try to relocate and / or reaim transducer at material level or object.
What to do if Milltronics Control Unit displays 'EEEE'?
If the Milltronics Control Unit displays 'EEEE', it means the reading is too high. To resolve this, select larger units (P005) or lower the Convert Reading value (P061).
What to do if my Milltronics Control Unit always reports the material level 'off'?
If the material level reported is always 'off' by the same amount, the empty (zero) reference is incorrect. You should check Empty (P006), Reading Offset (P063), Offset Calibration (P650), & Offset Correction (P652).
What to do if Milltronics Control Unit reading is fixed?
If the reading is fixed, regardless of the actual material level, the transducer beam may be obstructed, the standpipe is too narrow, or the transducer mounting is resonant. Relocate and / or reaim transducer at material level or object.
How to troubleshoot a blank display on Milltronics Measuring Instruments?
If your Milltronics Measuring Instruments display is blank, the transmit neon is not flashing, and the transducer is not pulsing, it's likely due to a lack of power. Check the power supply, wiring, and voltage selection switch.
Why does the reading fluctuate on Milltronics Measuring Instruments?
If the reading on your Milltronics Measuring Instruments fluctuates while the material level is still (or vice versa), it indicates incorrect measurement stabilization. Adjust the Measurement Response (P003) accordingly.
Why is the reading erratic on Milltronics Measuring Instruments?
If the reading on your Milltronics Measuring Instruments is erratic and shows little to no relation to the material level, it suggests that the true echo is too weak or the wrong echo is being processed. Try relocating and/or re-aiming the transducer at the material level or object.
What does 'Short' and 'tb:(#)' mean on my Milltronics Control Unit?
If the Milltronics Control Unit displays 'Short' and 'tb:(#)', it indicates a short circuited transducer cable or a defective transducer. Repair or replace as necessary.
What does 'Open' and 'tb:(#)' mean on my Milltronics Control Unit?
If the Milltronics Control Unit displays 'Open' and 'tb:(#)', it indicates an open circuited transducer cable, or a defective transducer. Repair or replace as necessary.
