46-648 Jupiter Magnetostrictive Transmitters

2.3.1 Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

Transmitter does not track level (External Mount) Remove transmitter from piping column and test with

re-alignment magnet. Run magnet from bottom to top of

probe. Check zero and span calibration. If no change in

output, consult the factory.

(Direct Insertion) Float stuck, Probe bent (Chamber)

Float inside the level gauge is moving slow Ensure that the magnetic level indicator is plumb.

or not at all.

The process fluid being measured may be too viscous and

heat tracing may be required to make the material more fluid.

The specific gravity of the process fluid and float weight may

need to be reverified.

The liquid being measured may contain magnetic particles

collecting on the magnetic section of the float causing drag.

If this happens magnetic trap assemblies can be purchased

from the factory.

Visual inspection of the float may be required to see if the float

has collapsed.

LEVEL, % OUTPUT, and LOOP values are Basic configuration data is questionable. Reconfigure probe

all inaccurate. length and offset. Ensure the level is accurate. Reconfigure

loop values.

LEVEL, % OUTPUT, and LOOP values fluctuate. Turbulence, increase damping factor until readings stabilize.

Level reading on display is correct, but loop Set poll address to zero

value is stuck at 4 mA.

2.3 Troubleshooting

The Jupiter transmitter is designed and manufactured for years of trouble free operation over a wide

range of conditions. Common transmitter problems are discussed in terms of their symptoms and

recommended corrective actions.

Caution: Do not rotate the Jupiter electronics enclosure or any threaded fittings.

Rotating the electronics enclosure will void warranty and could cause

damage to sensor cables.
