• DISPLAY REMAINS AT ZERO OR SHOWS NO CHANGE -- If the dis lay remains at zero or
shows no change but the rocess is changing, check for DC voltage on the loo . With 2 wire (4/20MA)
instruments check with a DC voltmeter at the level instrument, by disconnecting the level instrument
from its 2 wires and measuring across these 2 wires with a DC voltmeter for the resence of 24VDC.
Check the diagnostic screen for analog in ut value.
If DC voltage is resent, reconnect the negative wire of the su ly and insert a milliam meter between
the ositive wires. The loo should rovide a signal between 4 and 20 MA. If no current is resent
or & current exceeds 20MA consult the level instrument su lier.
If DC voltage is not resent check the user su lied ower su ly or if using the 700 DPCF/TPCF su ly
measure across terminals 24VDC and + and -. If no 24VDC is resent consult factory. If 24VDC is
resent check field wiring between the 700 DPC and the field device and recheck ‘SCALE’ functions to
ensure correct setu .
NOTE: This should be done by using the user provided circuit breaker or fuse,
not by removing the power wires at the terminal block. Serious injury or death
can occur if contact is made with the incoming AC power.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING
The Series 700 PDL is a digital solid-state device, which requires no eriodic maintenance.
Occasional checks of the unit should be carried out for hysical and mechanical security of mounting,
terminal blocks, and electrical wiring.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
• UNIT ‘LOCKS UP’ -- Recycle ower to the unit by removing AC ower, waiting 10 seconds and
reconnecting ower.
