5.1Troubleshooting
The Jupiter transmitter is designed and manufactured for years of trouble free operation over a wide range of condi- tions. Common transmitter problems are discussed in terms of their symptoms and recommended corrective actions.
5.1.1Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
Transmitter does not track level (External Mount) Remove transmitter from piping column and test with
(Direct Insertion) Float stuck, Probe bent (Chamber)
Float inside the level gauge is moving slow or not at all.
Ensure that the magnetic level indicator is plumb.
The process fluid being measured may be too viscous and heat tracing may be required to make the material more fluid.
The specific gravity of the process fluid and float weight may need to be reverified.
The liquid being measured may contain magnetic particles collecting on the magnetic section of the float causing drag. If this happens magnetic trap assemblies can be purchased from the factory.
Visual inspection of the float may be required to see if the float has collapsed.
LEVEL value is inaccurate. | Basic configuration data is questionable. Reconfigure probe |
| length and offset. Ensure the level is accurate. Reconfigure |
| loop values. |
|
|
LEVEL value fluctuates. | Turbulence, increase damping factor until readings stabilize. |
