Troubleshooting
Every Millltronics ILE-61 sensing head is subjected to extensive quality assurance
procedures to ensure the highest degree of quality, reliability, and performance is
achieved.
The following listing indicates the probable cause, and proper course of action to be
taken should the specified fault symptom occur.
Symptom Cause Action
Integrator Rate display
doesn’t change when sensing
plate is moved
Wrong or bad integrator
connection
Viscous damper lid in ship-
ping position
Integrator not prepared for
operation
Refer to Installation\Integra-
tor LVDT Interconnection
Refer to Installation/ Viscous
Damper
Program and Calibrate the
integrator
Span adjustment does not
have enough range
Range spring not suited to
application
Refer to Range Springs
Measurement results are not
repeatable
Sensing head not level
Moving beam is mechanically
limited
Leaf springs are damaged
Material flow patterns vary
Refer to Installation and
Calibration/Sensing Head
Level Test
Ensure moving beam does not
hit travel stops between -20 %
and 150 % flowrates
Replace leaf springs,
recalibrate flowmeter, and
integrator
Consult Siemens Milltronics
or your distributor
Accuracy varies with mate-
rial flowrate
Non-linear operation Refer to Linearity
