DUALCON-3 USERS GUIDE
7. TROUBLESHOOTING
The DUALCON has some built in self diagnostic functions. If the LED’s on the
front panel are flashing then the fault mode can be found by counting the number
of flashes between gaps and using the table below to locate the problem.
NOTE: Even if the LED is not lit, mains voltages could still be present –
ALWAYS isolate the mains supply before removing or examining the unit.

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 DUALCON is configured for correct sensor.
• Check that applied voltage is not out of range.
• Check that applied current is not out of range.
• Check that applied millivoltage is not out of range.
