Corrective Action
• Check for a 250-550 ohms resistance
between the power supply and HHT.
• Check for adequate voltage to the transmitter
(the transmitter requires 11.9 ~ 45 Vdc).
• Check for intermittent shorts, open circuits, and
multiple grounds.
• Connect HHT and enter the transmitter test
mode to isolate a sensor failure.
• Check for dirty or defective terminals,
interconnecting pins, or receptacles.
• Check the output voltage of the power supply
at the transmitter terminals. It should be 11.9
to 45 Vdc.
• Connect HHT and enter the transmitter test
mode to isolate module failure. Check the
sensor limits to ensure the calibration
adjustments are within the sensor range.
• Check the output voltage of the power supply
at the transmitter terminals. It should be 11.9
to 45 Vdc.
• Check for intermittent shorts, open circuits, and
multiple grounds.
• Check for proper polarity at the signal terminals.
• Connect HHT and enter the transmitter test
mode to isolate an electronics mode failure.
• Connect HHT and enter the transmitter test
mode to isolate a sensor failure.
• Is the PV out of range.
• Check for adequate voltage to the transmitter
(the transmitter requires 11.9 ~ 45 Vdc).
• Check for intermittent shorts, open circuits, and
multiple grounds.
• Check polarity of signal terminal
• Check the loop impedance.
• Connect HHT and check the sensor limits to
ensure calibration adjustments are within the
sensor range.
