Troubleshooting

11.1Overview

This chapter describes guidelines and procedures for troubleshooting the meter. The information in this chapter will enable you to:

•Categorize the problem

•Determine whether you are able to correct the problem

•Take corrective measures (if possible)

•Contact the appropriate support agency

Note: All ProLink II procedures provided in this section assume that your computer is already connected to the transmitter and you have established communication. All ProLink II procedures also assume that you are complying with all applicable safety requirements. See Chapter 2 for more information.

By default, the specification uncertainty limit is set at ±4.0%, which will avoid false Fail/Caution results over the entire range of specified process conditions. If you observe a structural integrity variation greater than 4% due to normal process conditions, you may adjust the specification uncertainty limit to match your process variation. To avoid false Fail/Caution results, it is advisable to set the specification uncertainty limit to approximately twice the variation due to the effect of normal process conditions 5.2Recording process
