9. Troubleshooting and Maintenance

All factory repairs and recalibrations require a returned material

authorization (RMA) and completion of the “Declaration of

Hazardous Material and Decontamination” form. Refer to the

Assistance

page at the beginning of this manual for more

information.

9.1 Troubleshooting

Symptom: Temperature is reported as

NAN, –INF, –9999, or –273.

Verify the red wire is connected to the correct single-ended analog input

channel as specified by the measurement instruction and the purple wire is

connected to datalogger ground.

Symptom: Temperature is reported as

NAN or –26.

Verify the black wire is connected to the switched excitation channel

specified by the measurement instruction.

Symptom: Incorrect temperature is reported.

Verify the multiplier and offset arguments in the measurement

instructions are correct for the desired units (Section 7.2, Datalogger

Programming). Check the cable for signs of damage and possible

moisture intrusion.

Symptom: Unstable temperature is reported.

Most likely a result of electromagnetic interference. Try using the 60 or

50 Hz integration options, and/or increasing the settling time as described

in Section 8.3, Electrically Noisy Environments, and Section 8.4, Long

Cable Lengths. Make sure the clear shield wire is connected to datalogger

ground and the datalogger is properly grounded.
