Failure Possible cause Procedure
No output signal Cable break Check connections and cable
No/incorrect voltage supply or current
spike
Adjust the voltage supply to correspond
with the Operating Instructions *)
No/False output signal
Incorrectly wired (e.g. Connected as
2-wire instead of 3-wire system)
Follow pin assignment (see Instrument
Label / Operating Instructions)
Output signal unchanged after change
in pressure
Mechanical overload through over-
pressure
Replace instrument; if failure reoccurs,
consult the manufacturer *)
Signal span dropping off/too small
Mechanical overload through over-
pressure
Replace instrument; if failure reoccurs,
consult the manufacturer *)
Diaphragm is damaged, e.g. through
impact, abrasive/agressive media;
corrosion of diaphragm/pressure
connector; transmission fluid missing.
Contact the manufacturer and replace
the instrument
Seal/Sealing face damaged/conta-
minated, seal mounted incorrectly,
threads crossed
Clean the seal/sealing face, possibly
replace the seal.
Signal span erratic / incorrect
Electromagnetic interference source in
the vicinity, e.g. inverter drive
Shield the device; shield the cables;
remove the interference source
Working temperature too high/too low Ensure permissible temperatures as per
the Operating Instructions
Instrument not grounded Ground instrument
Violent fluctuations in the process
media pressure
Damping; consult with manufacturer
Abnormal zero point signal Working temperature too high/too low Ensure permissible temperatures as per
the Operating Instructions
Abnormal mounting position
Correct the zero point through the
potentiometer, control panel or software
Overload limits exceeded
Ensure permissible overload limits are
observed (see Operating Instructions) *)

For details about the accessories (e. g. connectors), please refer to WIKA‘s price list, WIKA‘s
product catalog on CD or or contact our sales department.
10. Trouble shooting
Open pressure connections only after the system is without pressure!
WIKA pressure transmitters require no maintenance.
Have repairs performed by the manufacturer only. 

Do not insert any pointed or hard objects into the pressure port for cleaning to prevent
damage to the diaphragm of the pressure connection.
Take precautions with regard to remaining media in removed pressure trans-
mitters. Remaining media in the pressure port may be hazardous or
toxic!
Remove the pressure transmitter from service and mark it to prevent it from
being used again accidentally, if it becomes damaged or unsafe for opera-
tion.
Have repairs performed by the manufacturer only.



Please verify in advance if pressure is being applied (valves/ ball valve etc. open) and if the
right voltage supply and the right type of wiring (2-wire/ 3-wire) has been chosen?
10. Trouble shooting GB
In case of unjustified reclamation we charge the reclamation handling expenses.
*) Make sure that after the setting the unit is working properly. In case the error continues to exist send in the instrument for reparation (or
replace the unit).
