Operating Instructions PET
Faults Causes Measures
No output signal Cable break Check the through drilling
Deviating zero point signal Overpressure safety exceeded Observe the permissible overpressure
safety (see chapter 3 "Technical data")
Deviating zero point signal Operating temperature too high/
low
Observe the permissible temperatures
(see chapter 3 "Technical data")
Constant output signal
upon change in pressure
Mechanical overload caused by
overpressure
Replace pressure transmitter; if it fails
repeatedly, contact the manufacturer
Signal span too small Mechanical overload caused by
overpressure
Replace pressure transmitter; if it fails
repeatedly, contact the manufacturer
Signal span varies EMC interference sources in
the environment; for example,
frequency converter
Shield the pressure transmitter; cable
shield; remove source of interference
Signal span varies/inaccu-
rate
Operating temperature too high/
low
Observe the permissible temperatures
(see chapter 3 "Speci cations")
Signal span drops/too
small
Signal span drops/too small Contact manufacturer and replace
pressure transmitter
CAUTION!
If faults cannot be eliminated by means of the measures listed above, the instrument must
be shut down immediately, and it must be ensured that pressure and/or signal are no longer
present, and it must be prevented from being inadvertently put back into service. In this case,
contact the manufacturer. If a return is needed, follow the instructions given in chapter 8.2
"Returns".

In the event of any faults, rst check whether the pressure transmitter is mounted correctly, mechanically and
electrically.
