- On-site Check List after Replacement (Check item by item to avoid faults)
Inspección previa al encendido
- Mechanical mounting: Secure the instrument on the panel without looseness; cutout size complies with 48×48 mm.
- Verificación de cableado: Verify power, sensor and relay circuits per terminal table; ensure no loose connection, wrong wiring or short circuit.
- Power confirmation: On-site power supply is 100~240 V AC/DC within rated range.
Post-power-on Inspection
- Power-on test: 4-digit LED lights up normally, no black screen or flickering.
- Signal verification: Compare real-time reading with actual sensor value; ensure deviation is within allowable range.
- Alarm test: Simulate over-limit conditions manually; confirm two relays actuate/de-energize normally and external loads work properly.
- Parameter recheck: Keep range, alarm values and differential gap consistent with original settings.
Compliance Check (Execute as required)
General industrial sites / No certification traceability required: No extra operation needed.
Export equipment / Strict model & certificate consistency required: The new model ending with 1 is the certified version with complete CE/UL documents for filing.
- Fallos comunes & Troubleshooting after Replacement
| Fenómeno de falla | Posibles causas | Soluciones |
| No display after power-on | 1. Reversed/loose power wiring | Reapretar terminales, measure input voltage and restore rated power supply |
| 2. Supply voltage out of range | ||
| Fluctuating / Inaccurate readings | 1. Poor sensor connection | Reconnect sensor cables and verify In.Ty parameter |
| 2. Wrong input type selected | ||
| Normal reading but relay no action | 1. Incorrect alarm value | Recheck AL1/AL2 thresholds and switch alarm mode |
| 2. Wrong alarm mode selected | ||
| Relay switches frequently | Excessively small differential gap | Increase dF1/dF2 value |
| Parameters reset automatically | Failed to exit menu completely / Stuck panel keys | Fully exit setting interface and clean foreign matters on keys |
- Notas complementarias
- Firmware compatibility: The updated firmware (ending with 1) is fully backward compatible with legacy parameter logic, with no function reduction or protocol mismatch.
- Spare parts procurement: Both models are interchangeable for reordering. The updated version ending with 1 is recommended for wider certification coverage.
