    Why is my red lion Measuring Instruments display blank?
    • J
      Joseph MooreAug 2, 2025
      A blank display on your Red Lion Measuring Instruments device typically indicates a power issue. This could be due to the power being off, the wiring being improperly connected, or a brown-out. To resolve this, check the wiring and verify that the device is receiving adequate power.

    What to do if my red lion Measuring Instruments display shows '......'?
    • J
      Javier GarciaAug 6, 2025
      If your Red Lion Measuring Instruments display shows '......', it usually means the input display is out of range or there has been a loss of data setups. You should check the unit scaling and data setups. Also, check for any electrical disturbances and try disconnecting and reconnecting the power.

    Why is my red lion IMP display jittery?
    • J
      Joseph Vega DDSAug 10, 2025
      A jittery display on your Red Lion Measuring Instruments device is often caused by electrical noise in the process or signal lines, or the process itself being unstable. Try these steps to resolve the issue: 1. Increase digital filtering. 2. Increase the display rounding increment. 3. Re-route the signal wires. 4. If the process is inherently unstable, dampen the process to eliminate oscillations.

    What does 'ULULUL' mean on my red lion IMP display and how to fix it?
    • B
      Brandy ShermanAug 27, 2025
      If the display shows “ULULUL” on your Red Lion Measuring Instruments, it means there is an input underload (negative overload). Check the input levels.
