10.5 TROUBLESHOOTING NOT RELATED TO MEASUREMENT PROBLEMS
	Problem	Action
	Display segments missing	Replace display board
	Alarm relays are chattering	1.	Check alarm setpoints.
		2. Increase hysteresis time delay settings (see Section 5.6)
	Incorrect current output	1.	Verify that output load is less than 600 Ω.
		2.	For minor errors, trim outputs (see Section 8.0)
		3.	Replace power supply board
	Display too light or too dark	Change contrast (see Section 5.4)
	“Level 1, 2 or 3 security: Lock” shown in display	Controller has password protection (see Section 5.11)
	“Hold mode activated” showing in display	Controller is in hold (see Section 5.5, steps 8 and 9)
	“Simulating output 1 or 2” showing in display	Controller is simulating outputs (see Section 5.3)
	“Simulating alarm 1, 2, 3 or 4” showing in display	Controller is simulating alarms (see Section 5.3)

10.6 SIMULATING INPUTS - DISSOLVED OXYGEN

To check the performance of the controller, use a decade box to simulate the current from the oxygen sensor.

A. Disconnect the anode and cathode leads from terminals 1 and 2 on TB3 and connect a decade box as shown in Figure 10-1. It is not necessary to disconnect the RTD leads.

B. Set the decade box to the resistance shown in the table.

	Sensor	Polarizing Voltage	Resistance	Expected current
	499ADO	-675 mV	34 kΩ	20 μA
C. Note the sensor current. To view the sensor current from the
main display, press any key to enter the main menu. Move the
cursor to "Diagnostics" and press Enter (F4). The sensor cur-
rent is the second line in the display. Note the units: μA is
microamps, nA is nanoamps.
D. Change the decade box resistance and verify that the correct
current is shown. Calculate current from the equation:
	current (μA) =	voltage (mV)
		resistance (kΩ)
