Cause Rectification
M500
Error with the
reset delivery
status
– With the reset to delivery
status, the data could not
be restored
– Repeat reset
– Load XML file with sensor
data into the sensor
M501
Error in the
non-active
linearization
table
– Hardware error EEPROM – Exchanging the electronics
– Send instrument for repair
M502
Error in the
diagnosis
memory
– Hardware error EEPROM – Exchanging the electronics
– Send instrument for repair
M503
Reliability too
low
– The echot/noise ratio is the
small for a reliable meas-
urement
– Check installation and
process conditions
– Clean the antenna
– Change polarisation direc-
tion
– Use instrument with higher
sensitivity
M504
Error on an
device inter-
face
– Hardware defect – Check connections
– Exchanging the electronics
– Send instrument for repair
M505
No echo avail-
able
– Level echo can no longer
be detected
– Clean the antenna
– Use a more suitable
antenna/sensor
– Remove possible false
echoes
– Optimize sensor position
and orientation
9.4 Rectify faults
The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-
ures to rectify faults.
The first measures are:
Maintenance
Reaction when malfunc-
tions occur
Procedure for fault recti-
fication
