SERVICING

The only maintenance required is to occasionally check the transmitter face to

 

ensure it remains clean and check that the cover seal, wiring, and cable

 

glands are in good condition.

 

There are no spare parts for the Mobrey MSP422. If a problem persists,

 

contact Mobrey Measurement for advice.

DIAGNOSTICS FOR THE MSP422

General Troubleshooting

Error Messages

No Display

Check the power supply. Ensure there is a minimum of 12 Vdc at the instrument terminals. Check that the cable insulation is not preventing contact at the terminal block.

No Level Reading

Check that the instrument is ticking about once per second. If there is no ticking, the instrument should be replaced.

Flashing “LE” With “0000”

The transmitter is not receiving a return echo, which could mean the liquid surface is poor or that it is beyond the range of 26 ft. (8 m) of the instrument. Change the position of the transmitter or contact Mobrey Measurement for information on longer range instruments

This means that the transmitter is not receiving a return echo, possibly because the liquid surface is poor or beyond the range (26 ft./8 m) of the instrument. Re-locate the instrument or contact Mobrey Measurement for details of longer range instruments.

Flashing “LE” With Level Reading

This means that the transmitter is no longer receiving satisfactory echoes from the liquid surface. This may be because of one of a variety of reasons, for example, excessive foaming, turbulence, or ullage vapors.

First, check that the transmitter face is free from contamination and condensation. The transmitter will operate with some condensation on the face, but excessive condensation may cause operational problems. If the vessel cannot be adequately vented to prevent condensation forming, contact Mobrey Measurement for alternative solutions.

Second, check that the instrument is still vertically aligned above the liquid surface and check the echo received size. If the echo size is small (<3), re-position the transmitter or modify the vessel for the transmitter to operate above a more acceptable area of the liquid surface.

Lost echo (LE) is signalled when there has been no return echo for 10 seconds. Within the 10 seconds, the output will remain fixed. If, after the 10 seconds, no satisfactory has been received, the output will increase to the current selected level and the display flashes alternately “LE” and the last valid level reading.

If a satisfactory echo is received within the 10 seconds, a new output is established and the LE timer is re-set.
