Reference Information Troubleshooting Solitel is a simple and reliable device. However, care must be taken to avoid impacting or damaging the vibrating probe. In the event the Solitel stops vibrating, the following procedure will identify if the problem is with the elec- tronic module or with the sensor: Disconnect the wires going to the sensor.
5. Connect a digital multimeter between points MP5 on the back of the module and ground connection (terminal 3 on the electronic module) or the body of the vibrating probe. See Figure 7 on page 7. 6. Adjust potentiometer P2 on the rear of the electronic module to obtain a voltage between 0.4 volts and 1.0 volts.
