Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Symptoms Symptom Possible Cause Recommended Action Confirm power is available to the transmitter . Measure voltage at the power terminals and check that the voltage matches the labels by the power terminals . Check that the power terminal block is firmly seated . For AC power, verify that the 115V/230V switch is in the correct position . - Page 39 Troubleshooting Symptom Possible Cause Recommended Action Check process loop for entrained air and concentration of mix fluids which will impact the density . Run HealthTrack, the advanced function in RCT Console configuration software, to record critical measurements . Multiple, vital parameters can be viewed in a single snapshot to assist with diagnosing issues .
