Fault
Possible cause
Measure
No output signal
Cable break
No/wrong power supply
Check the through drilling
Correct the power supply
No/wrong output signal
Wiring error
Rectify the wiring
Constant output signal upon
change in pressure
Mechanical overload caused by overpressure
Replace instrument
Signal span too small/drops
Mechanical overload caused by overpressure
Diaphragm damage
Sealing/sealing face damaged/soiled, sealing
does not have a tight fit, threads jammed
Replace instrument
Replace instrument
Clean the sealing/sealing face,
replace sealing
Signal span varies/inaccurate EMC interference sources in the environment
(e.g. frequency converter)
Operating temperature too high/low
Instrument not earthed
Strongly varying pressure of the process
medium
Shield instrument; shield cable;
remove source of interference
Observe the permissible tempera-
tures
Earth the instrument
Damping; consulting by the manu-
facturer
Deviating zero point signal
Operating temperature too high/low
Other mounting position
Overpressure limit exceeded
Observe the permissible tempera-
tures
Adjust the zero point
Replace instrument
