Page 17: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING COMMON ERRORS 1. Slow sensor drift reading. A sensor reading that slowly rises or falls (positive or negative) from the set zero value. 2. Fast sensor drift/invalid reading. A sensor reading that quickly or rises or falls (positive or negative) from the set zero value, possibly so much that the reading becomes invalid. -
Page 18: Slow Sensor Drift Reading
COMMON ERRORS (continued) SLOW SENSOR DRIFT READING If the sensor reading will not remain steady and drifts positive or negative, the sensor, cables, or adapter connectors may be contaminated. To identify the connector(s) with contamination, perform the following: 1. Disconnect sensor from C‑PZ/1645 cable 4. -
Page 19: Fast Sensor Drift/Invalid Reading
COMMON ERRORS (continued) FAST SENSOR DRIFT/INVALID READING If the sensor reading drifts quickly and becomes invalid, the sensor, cables, or adapter connectors may be heavily contaminated, or the adapter may have failed. To identify the connector(s) with contamination, perform the following: 1. -
