Why is the 'Power/Error' LED not lighting up on my Pepperl+Fuchs Measuring Instruments?
- F
  Frank EllisAug 20, 2025
  If the 'Power/Error' LED does not light up, several issues could be the cause: * The power supply might be switched off. Check if there's a reason for this (like installation or maintenance) and switch it back on if needed. * The cordset might not be properly connected to the sensor. Ensure it is connected and tighten the union nut by hand. * There could be a wiring fault in the splitter or control cabinet. Inspect the wiring and fix any faults. * The supply cable to the sensor might be damaged. If so, replace the cable.

Why does the 'Power/Error' LED light up red permanently or intermittently on Pepperl+Fuchs PMI360DV-F130-IU2E2-V15?
- A
  allison17Aug 22, 2025
  The 'Power/Error' LED might light up red because there is no actuator in the sensor's detection area, or the actuator detection is unreliable. Ensure the actuator is correctly mounted or install one with the correct dimensions at the appropriate distance from the sensor.

What to do if analog current output yields a value of approximately 3.6 mA on Pepperl+Fuchs PMI360DV-F130-IU2E2-V15?
- S
  Shawn AllenAug 25, 2025
  If the analog current output shows about 3.6 mA, it could be due to: * No actuator being in the sensor's detection area, or unreliable detection of the actuator. Make sure the actuator is correctly mounted, or install a suitable actuator at the right distance. * The actuator being outside the parameterized measurement range. Verify the position of the parameterized measurement range is correct.

What to do if the analog output does not reach the maximum value on Pepperl+Fuchs Measuring Instruments?
- M
  Megan OwensAug 26, 2025
  If the analog output doesn't reach its maximum value, the sensor's operating voltage might be too low, or the load impedance might be out of specification. Check the sensor's operating voltage and ensure the load impedance is within the specified limits.

What to do if the switching output signal 'chatters' on Pepperl+Fuchs Measuring Instruments?
- C
  cynthiahowellAug 27, 2025
  If the switching output signal 'chatters', it might be due to using a different actuator with incorrect dimensions or an incorrect distance to the sensor. Install an actuator according to specifications.

What to do if the output signal is unstable or unreliable on Pepperl+Fuchs Measuring Instruments?
- A
  Alyssa WilliamsAug 29, 2025
  If the output signal is unstable or unreliable, the actuator might be rotating too quickly. Ensure the actuator's speed is no more than 100 rotations per minute.

What to do if there is no output signal at the switching output, even though the associated LED lights up, on Pepperl+Fuchs PMI360DV-F130-IU2E2-V15 Measuring Instruments?
- B
  Barbara BestAug 31, 2025
  If there's no output signal at the switching output even when the LED is lit, check these possible causes: * The output cable might not be connected. Connect the output cable. * The output cable might be short-circuiting. Rectify the short circuit.

What to do if the output signal is outside the specified value range at the analog output on Pepperl+Fuchs PMI360DV-F130-IU2E2-V15?
- V
  Victor ThomasSep 2, 2025
  If the output signal is outside the specified value range at the analog output, it may be because the load was connected only after the sensor was switched on. Disconnect the sensor from the supply voltage, then switch it back on with the load connected.

What to do if a yellow LED flashes and the 'Power/Error' LED flashes red at the same time on Pepperl+Fuchs Measuring Instruments?
- J
  julie11Sep 4, 2025
  If a yellow LED and the 'Power/Error' LED flash red simultaneously, the button assigned to the flashing yellow LED is likely stuck. Remove any dirt or foreign objects causing the key to stick.

Why can't I move the sensor in programming mode on my Pepperl+Fuchs PMI360DV-F130-IU2E2-V15 Measuring Instruments, and the 'Power/Error' LED lights up red when a button is pressed?
- M
  Mr. Matthew CastroSep 6, 2025
  If you can't move the sensor in programming mode and the 'Power/Error' LED lights up red when a button is pressed, the keylock is likely activated. Unlock the buttons.
