Troubleshooting
The echo is not reliable and The Probe is waiting for a valid echo before updating the
measurement.
Probable causes are:
• material or object in contact with sensor face
• The Probe is too close to the fill point
• The Probe is not perpendicular to the liquid surface
• change in level too fast
• measurement out of range
• foam on liquid surface
• high level of vibration in the mounting structure
• level inside the blanking zone
The `Waiting' period has expired. Investigate the probable causes listed above.
Refer to Speed of Response on page or Fail-safe Timer on page 13 for duration of
`Waiting' periods.
Maintenance
The Probe requires no maintenance or cleaning.
