Faults
Deviating zero point signal
Constant output signal upon change in
pressure
Hot case surface
Signal span too small
Signal span drops
Signal span varies
Signal span drops/too small
WIKA operating instructions, pressure sensor, models D-20-9, D-21-9
Causes
Other mounting position
Overload safety exceeded
Too high/low working temperature
Mechanical overload caused by overpres-
sure
Wrong power supply or current pulse
Internal short-circuit
Power supply too high/low
Moisture has entered into the electrical
connection
EMC interference sources in the environ-
ment; for example, frequency converter
Pressure of the medium is fluctuating
Power supply is fluctuating
Mechanical overload caused by overpres-
sure (e.g. diaphragm damaged)
Measures
Correct the zero point via the controller
or software
Observe the permissible overload safety
Observe the permissible temperatures
Replace instrument; if it fails repeatedly,
contact the manufacturer
Replace instrument; if it fails repeatedly,
contact the manufacturer
Replace instrument
Correct the power supply, see product
label
Install the electrical connection correctly
Shield instrument; cable shield; remove
source of interference
Damping; consulting by the manufacturer
Stabilise the power supply and suppress
interference
Replace instrument; if it fails repeatedly,
contact the manufacturer
