Error
Possible cause Remedy Equipment need, spare parts
Fixed, incorrect
measure value
– Sensor not immersed or
protective cap not removed
Check installation, remove
protective cap
– Air cushion in assembly Check assembly and installation
– Short to ground on/in instrument Test measurement in insulated
container, poss. with buffer solution
Plastic container, buffer solutions
– Hair crack in glass membrane Replace sensor pH sensor
– Impermissible instrument
operating state (no response to
key actuation)
Switch instrument off and back on EMV problem: check grounding
and line routing if problem persists
Incorrect temperature
value
– Incorrect sensor connection Verify connections using
connection diagram
Connection diagram chap. 3.4
– Measuring cable defective Check cable Ohmmeter
– Incorrect sensor type Select sensor type on instrument
(field B1)
Glass electrode: Pt 100
IsFET: Pt 1000
Incorrect pH value in
process
– No / incorrect temperature
compensation
ATC: activate function
MTC: set process temperature
– Conductivity of medium too low Choose pH sensor with salt
reservoir or liquid KCI
e.g. Orbisint CPS 11-xASxxxx
e.g. Ceraliquid CPS 41
– Flow rate too high Reduce flow rate or measure in a
bypass
– Potential in medium Try grounding with/at PA pin
(PA/PE connection)
Problem mainly occurs with plastic
lines
– Sensor soiled or coated Clean sensor (see chap. 8.6.2) Heavily soiled media: use spray
cleaning
Measured value
fluctuates
– Measuring cable interference Connect cable screen acc. to
connection diagram
See chap. 3.5
– Signal output line interference Check line routing, try separate
line routing
Signal output and meas. input lines
– Interference potential in medium Use symmetric measurement (with
PMC)
Try grounding medium via PA/PE
connection
– No potential matching (PA/PM)
with symmetrical input
Connect PA pin in assembly to
PA/PM on instrument
Controller or timer
cannot be activated
– No relay module installed Install LSR1-2 or LSR1-4 module See chap. 8.2 and 8.3
Controller / limit contact
does not work
– Controller switched off Activate controller See chap. 5.5 or fields R2xx
– Controller in “Manual / Off” mode Choose “Auto” or “Manual On”
mode
Keyboard, REL key
– Pickup delay setting too long Disable or shorten pickup delay See fields R2xx
–“Hold” function active “Autom. hold” during calibration,
“hold”-input activated;
“hold” via keyboard active
See fields S2 to S4
Controller / limit contact
works continuously
– Controller in “Manual / On” mode Set controller to “Manual / Off” or
“Auto”
Keyboard, REL and AUTO keys
– Dropout delay setting to long Shorten dropout delay See fields R2xx
– Control loop interruption Check measured value, current
output or relay contacts, actuators,
chemical supply
No pH/mV current
output signal
– Line open or short-circuit Disconnect line and measure
directly in instrument
mA meter 0–20 mA DC
– Output defective See chap. 8.1
Fixed current output
signal
– Currenct simulation active Switch-off simulation See field O2
– Processor system out of sync Switch instrument off and back on EMV problem: Check installation if
problem persists
Incorrect current output
signal
– Incorrect current assignment Check current assignment:
0–20 mA or 4–20 mA?
Field O211
– Total load in current loop
excessive (> 500 Ω)
Disconnect output and measure
directly on instrument
mA meter for 0–20 mA DC
Current output table not
accepted
– Value interval too small Use sensible intervals
