  • Page 17 Operational Malfunctions Faultfinding list for troubleshooting Level electrode submerged – Low level alarm Fault: The level switch signals a low level (MIN) alarm before the water level in the steam boiler has reached the low level (MIN) switchpoint. Remedy: Check the length of the low level (MIN) electrode rod. Measure the conductivity of the pro cess or boiler water and compare the readings with the specification on the level switch.
  • Page 18 Operational Malfunctions – continued – Faultfinding list for troubleshooting – continued – Fault: After lowering the water level below the highlevel (MAX) mark, the red LED 1 is still illuminated or goes out only after quite a while. Remedy: Check whether a vent hole has been provided in the protection tube. If the electrode is fitted in a measuring pot outside the boiler, check the position of shutoff valves.
