Troubleshooting

Using a volt meter, verify that a voltage between 85 and 265VAC is measured between
the L and N terminal block positions.
Contact technical support for additional help and instructions.
Editing and increasing the display intensity parameter should cause the display digits to
become brighter.
Review routing of power wires in machine to minimize electrical noise. Look for other
devices which share the same circuit which may be producing unacceptable levels of line
noise. In some applications, such as welding equipment, a careful regiment of applying
an AC line filter, re-routine wires, dividing circuits, using shielded cable, and properly
grounding devices will usually solve the problem.
The unit is designed to operate with AC lines from 48-62 Hertz (cycles per second). This
is typically not a problem because the international standards are 50 and 60 Hertz.

Only units with the –R option have a second relay output. See the model and options
tables for available configurations.
Second alarm output parameters not configured properly
Review alarm output #2 parameters. The first and second alarm relay outputs can be
tested by selecting the "Always On" value for the Activation Condition parameters for the
respective alarm output. When doing this, the relay click should be audible and the NC
(Normally Closed) and C (Common) terminals should become internally shorted at the
terminal block.
