7.1 Incorrect Reading
• Check that Unit is configured for the correct Sensor
• Check that Input Scaling is as required.
• Check that Linearisation has not been set incorrectly.
• Check that Thermocouples have correct compensation cables, and polarity.
• Check that RTD is set for correct option 2, 3 or 4 Wire.
• Check that RTD leads are connected to appropriate terminal pins.
7.2 Sensor Failure
• Check that sensor wiring is correct.
• Check Thermocouple polarity.
• Check that all RTD leads are connected to correct terminals.
• Check that the ISOCON is configured for correct sensor.
• Check that applied voltage is not out of range.
