What to do if Milltronics HydroRanger Plus displays "Error" and "tb:(#)"?
If the Milltronics Measuring Instruments displays "Error" and "tb:(#)," it could be due to the transducer being connected incorrectly. Try reversing the BLK and WHT wires. Alternatively, the wrong transducer (P004) might be in use; in this case, enter the correct value.
Why is the reading erratic on my Milltronics HydroRanger Plus Measuring Instruments?
If the Milltronics Measuring Instruments reading is erratic, showing little or no relation to the material level, it indicates that the true echo is either too weak or the wrong echo is being processed. You should relocate and/or re-aim the transducer at the material level or object.
How to fix the material level being off by the same amount on Milltronics HydroRanger Plus?
If the material level reported by Milltronics Measuring Instruments is consistently "off" by the same amount, it suggests an incorrect Empty (zero) reference. Refer to Empty (P006), Reading Offset (P063), Offset Calibration (P650), & Offset Correction (P652).
What does "Open" and "tb:(#)" mean on Milltronics HydroRanger Plus?
If the Milltronics Measuring Instruments displays "Open" and "tb:(#)," this could be caused by the transducer not being connected. Ensure the correct transducer is connected, or remove the Point # from service (P001 = 0). It can also happen due to an open-circuited transducer cable or a defective transducer; in this case, repair or replace as necessary.
Why is the reading fixed on my Milltronics Measuring Instruments?
If the Milltronics Measuring Instruments reading is fixed, regardless of the actual material level, it indicates that the transducer acoustic beam is obstructed, the standpipe is too narrow, or the transducer mounting is resonant. To resolve this, relocate and/or re-aim the transducer at the material level or object.
What does "Short" and "tb:(#)" mean on Milltronics Measuring Instruments?
If the Milltronics Measuring Instruments displays "Short" and "tb:(#)", this indicates a short-circuited transducer cable or a defective transducer. Repair or replace the affected component as needed.
Why is the display blank on my Milltronics Measuring Instruments?
If the Milltronics Measuring Instruments display is blank, the transmit neon is not flashing, and the transducer is not pulsing, the cause is likely a lack of power. Check the power supply, wiring, AC selection switch positions, and the power fuse F4 or F5.
Why does measurement accuracy improve as level nears transducer on Milltronics HydroRanger Plus Measuring Instruments?
If the measurement accuracy of your Milltronics Measuring Instruments improves as the level nears the transducer, it suggests that an incorrect Sound Velocity is being used for distance calculation. Use an ultrasonic/temperature transducer or a TS-3 temperature sensor to resolve this.
Why does the reading fluctuate on my Milltronics Measuring Instruments?
If the Milltronics Measuring Instruments reading fluctuates while the material level is still (or vice versa), it indicates incorrect measurement stabilization. Adjust the Measurement Response (P003) accordingly to stabilize the reading.
What does "LOE" mean on Milltronics HydroRanger Plus?
If the Milltronics Measuring Instruments displays "LOE", it indicates a weak or non-existent echo. To resolve this, relocate and/or re-aim the transducer at the material level or object to improve the echo.
