8. Faults
In the event of any faults, first check whether the pressure transmitter is mounted correctly, mechanically and electrically.
Faults
No output signal
Deviating zero point signal
Deviating zero point signal
Constant output signal upon
change in pressure
Signal span too small
Signal span varies
Signal span varies/inaccurate
Signal span drops/too small
If complaint is unjustified, we will charge you the complaint processing fees.
CAUTION!
If faults cannot be eliminated by means of the measures listed above, shut down the instrument
immediately, and ensure that pressure and/or signal are no longer present, and secure the instrument from
being put back into operation inadvertently. In this case, contact the manufacturer. If a return is needed,
please follow the instructions given in chapter 9.2 "Return".
