11.3Micro Motion customer service

To speak to a customer service representative, contact the Micro Motion Customer Service Department. Contact information is provided in Section 1.8.

Before contacting Micro Motion customer service, review the troubleshooting information and procedures in this chapter, and have the results available for discussion with the technician.

11.4Transmitter does not operate

If the transmitter does not operate at all (i.e., the transmitter is not receiving power, or the status LED is not lit), perform all of the procedures in Section 11.14.

If the procedures do not indicate a problem with the electrical connections, contact Micro Motion customer service.

11.5Transmitter does not communicate

If you cannot establish communication with the transmitter:

•Check connections and observe port activity at the host (if possible).

•Verify communications parameters.

•If all parameters appear to be set correctly, try swapping the leads.

•Increase the response delay value (see Section 6.12.5). This parameter is useful if the transmitter is communicating with a slower host.

11.6Zero or calibration failure

If a zero or calibration procedure fails, the transmitter will send a status alarm indicating the cause of failure. See Section 11.10 for specific remedies for status alarms indicating calibration failure.

11.7Fault conditions

If the analog or digital outputs indicate a fault condition (by transmitting a fault indicator), determine the exact nature of the fault by checking the status alarms with ProLink II software. Once you have identified the status alarm(s) associated with the fault condition, refer to Section 11.10.
