What does it mean if my Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter display shows antenna malfunction?
If the display on your Siemens Transmitter shows an antenna malfunction, it could be due to high temperature or physical damage. To address this: * Check the temperature in MAXIMUM VALUE (3.4.2.). * Relocate the device.
What to do if internal temperature of Siemens SITRANS LR560 has exceeded specifications?
If the internal temperature of your Siemens Transmitter exceeds specifications, it's operating outside its temperature range. Here’s what to do: * Relocate the device and/or lower the process temperature to cool it down. * The fault code will persist until a manual reset is performed using SIMATIC PDM or the LCD interface.
How to fix a Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter measurement that is consistently off?
If the measurement from your Siemens Transmitter is consistently off by a constant amount, the issue might be with the calibration settings. Try these solutions: * Check the distance from the sensor reference point to LOW CALIBRATION POINT (2.3.5.1.). * Check the SENSOR OFFSET (2.3.5.3.).
What to do when Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter PV exceeds user configured min/max range for mA output?
If a fault occurs on your Siemens Transmitter because the PV exceeds the user-configured minimum or maximum range for mA output, you can: * Adjust the process to fall within the limits of the min./max. mA values. * Adjust the limits of mA if possible.
What does it mean when Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter sensor is nearing its lifetime limit according to Maintenance Demanded Limit?
Replacement of the Siemens Transmitter sensor is recommended as it is nearing its lifetime limit according to the value set in Maintenance Demanded Limit.
What to do if Siemens SITRANS LR560 reading does not change?
If the reading on your Siemens Transmitter does not change even when the level does, the device might be processing the wrong echo, such as from a vessel wall or structural member. Try re-locating the device, checking the nozzle for internal burrs or welds, rotating the device 90°, or using AUTO ECHO SUPPRESSION (2.4.8.1.) (Page 132) if necessary.
How to resolve Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter internal error?
To resolve an internal error on your Siemens Transmitter, reset the power. If the fault persists, contact your local Siemens representative.
What to do for Siemens SITRANS LR560 internal error?
If your Siemens Transmitter shows an internal error, reset the power. If the fault persists, contact your local Siemens representative.
What to do if Siemens SITRANS LR560 Transmitter shows material build-up on antenna?
If your Siemens Transmitter display shows material build-up on the antenna, use the air purge feature to clean the antenna or re-locate the device.
What to do if calibration interval defined in REMINDER 1 has expired on Siemens Transmitter?
If the calibration interval as defined in REMINDER 1 (REQUIRED) has expired on your Siemens Transmitter, perform calibration.
