Detcon TP-524C - Manual (Page 17)

Poor calibration Repeatability
1. Check for adequate Sensor Life.
2. Check Heater Voltage Setting (should be 5.25 V).
3. Use humidif ier f illed with Distilled Water or inline humidifying tube.
4. Check validity of cal gas (must be H2S in air background).
5. Check for obstructions through s/s sinter element (including being wet).
6. Check sensor lot # and report to Detcon.
7. Check area for presence of reducing gases such as Cl2 and ozone which may cause low readings.
Unstable output/ Sudden spiking
Unstable power supply, Inadequate grounding, Inadequate RFI protection.
1. Verify Power source.
2. Contact Detcon to optimize shielding and grounding.
3. Add RFI protection accessory.
Nuisance Alarms
1. Check condulet for accumulated water and abnormal corrosion.
If Nuisance alarms happening at night suspect condensation in condulet.
2. Add/Replace Detcon Condensation Prevention Packet P/N 960-202200-000
Memory or Error reports
1. Reinitialize Sensor - Unplug transmitter, replug transmitter then swipe magnet over PGM 1 in the f irst 3 seconds.
This will clear the processor and recover from error state. Remember to put in all customer settings for range, and
cal gas level after re-initialization.
Non readable display
1. If blue background, install sunshade to reduce temperature.
2. If poor contrast, adjust contrast pot accordingly.
Nothing Displayed – Transmitter not Responding
1. Verify condulet has no accumulated water or abnormal corrosion.
2. Verify required DC power is applied to correct terminals.
3. Swap with a known-good transmitter to determine if transmitter is faulty.
Bad 4-20 mA output or RS485 Output
1. Check that wiring is connected to correct terminal outputs.
Swap with a known-good transmitter to determine if transmitter is faulty.
