Fault
Possible cause
Corrective measure
power LED not lit
Mains voltage failure
Check the mains power supply
Operating voltage is incorrect
Connect the operating voltage 
indicated on the rating plate
Electronics have burnt out
Make sure the mains voltage 
coincides with the value indicated 
on the rating plate. 
Replace the electronics
Terminal not connected correctly or

Indication Meaning
Possible cause
Corrective measure
Blockage
Sensor surrounded by 
cold condensate and / 
or condensate 
temperature is below 
specified value
Detection temperature is too high
Set a lower detection temperature 
(refer to 4.4 Measuring amplifier)
Depending on the steam trap type / 
plant operating conditions, 
condensate may collect in the test 
chamber after the plant has been 
shut down
No fault 
The plant / part of the plant is not in 
operation
High accumulation of condensate, 
with the result that the capacity of 
the steam trap is no longer 
adequate
Select a steam trip with a higher 
capacity
If thermal steam traps are installed, 
the sub-cooling temperature is too 
high
Refer to the Operating Instructions 
for the steam trap
Blocked strainer or valve inside the 
steam trap
Defective controller inside the 
steam trap
Leakage
Steam leakage 
Sensor surrounded by 
steam and 
temperature is above 
specified value
Dirt has got inside the steam trap 
control element, with the result that 
the valve no longer closes
Check the steam trap
Refer to the Operating Instructions 
for the steam trap
Controller defective
Blockage 
+ 
Leakage
Sensor surrounded by 
cold air / steam
Plant / steam trap not in operation
