5.4 Failure removal
Failure Measure, failure removal
Current value Check the sensor inputs on the following failures:
≥ 22 mA - shortcircuit on the input
- sensor not correctly connected
- sensor line interrupted
- supply voltage too low or too high
Measure the current on the connection line to the sensor.
The terminal voltage on the sensor in standard condition is at least 12␣ V.
Note with Ex-systems that the Ex-protection is not influenced by
the measuring instruments.
Current value > 22 mA
- Check all connections and the connection line to the sensor.
- Loosen the two small screws with a screwdriver and remove the
oscillator out of the plug connection.
- Measure the current.
• When the current value remains > 22 mA, the oscillator is defect.
Exchange the oscillator.
• When the current value is < 22 mA, the electrode is defect. Return
the electrode for repair.
