Operational Malfunctions Faultfinding 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.

Operational Malfunctions – continued – Faultfinding list for troubleshooting – continued – Fault: After lowering the water level below the highlevel (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 shutoff valves.
