Ensure that pressure or signal is no longer present and protect against accidental commissioning.
Contact the manufacturer.
If a return is needed, please follow the instructions given in chapter 8.2 "Return".
Possible cause
Cable break
No/wrong supply voltage
Wiring error or switching of switching logic/
analogue signal
Mechanical overload caused by
overpressure
Overpressure limit exceeded
Mechanical overload caused by
overpressure
Supply voltage too high/low
Moisture has entered
Diaphragm damaged, e.g. due to impacts,
abrasive/aggressive medium; corrosion at
diaphragm/process connection
Measure
Check the continuity
Rectify the supply voltage
Observe the pin assignment
Check the output configuration
Replace instrument; if it fails repeatedly,
contact the manufacturer
Maintain permissible overpressure limit
Replace instrument; if it fails repeatedly,
contact the manufacturer
Rectify the supply voltage
Mount the cable correctly
Contact manufacturer and replace instrument
