Cause Rectication
Sensor not connected
correctly
•
In Ex systems, make sure that the Ex protection is
notinuencedbythemeasuringinstrumentsused
•
Measure the current and voltage on the connec-
tion cable to the sensor
•
Faults in the sensor causing a current change to
below 3.6 mA or over 21 mA lead to a fault signal
in the controllers
•
The terminal voltage at the sensor must be within
thespeciedrange.Youcanndthisvoltage
range in the operating instructions of the con-
nected sensor
Sensor current < 3.6 mA
•
Check controller
•
Check the terminal voltage on the controller; if it
is < 17 V, the controller is defective -> exchange
controller or return it for repair
•
If the terminal voltage is > 17 V, disconnect the
sensor cable at the controller and replace it
witha1kΩresistor.Ifthefaultsignaldoesnot
disappear, the controller is defective -> exchange
controller or return it for repair
•
Check sensor or sensor cable
•
Reconnect the sensor cable to the controller,
disconnectthesensorandreplaceitwitha1kΩ
resistor. If the fault signal does not disappear,
then the sensor cable is broken -> replace the
sensor cable
•
If there is no longer a fault signal on the line, the
sensor is defective -> exchange sensor or return
it for repair
Sensor current > 21 mA
•
Check controller
•
Disconnect sensor cable and replace it with a
1kΩresistor.Ifthefaultsignaldoesnotdisap-
pear, the controller is defective -> exchange
controller or return it for repair
•
Check sensor or sensor cable
•
Reconnect the sensor cable to the controller,
disconnectthesensorandreplaceitwitha1kΩ
resistor. If the fault signal does not disappear,
then the sensor cable is short-circuited -> elimi-
nate the short-circuit or replace the sensor cable
•
If there is no longer a fault signal on the line, the
sensor is defective -> exchange sensor or return
it for repair
