Wiring should becarried out according to the idle cur-rent principle.Operating voltagetoo lowCheck operating voltageShortcircuit in theprobe, e.g. be-cause of moisturein the housingRemove the electronics module.Check the resistance between themarked plug connections. See the fol-lowing instructions.Electronics de-fectivePush the mode switch (A/B) on thesignal conditioning instrument. If thesignal conditioning instrument thenchanges the mode, the probe maybe mechanically damaged. Shouldthe switching function in the correctmode still be faulty, return the probefor repair.Check if there is buildup on the probe,and if so, remove it.Unfavourable in-stallation locationCheck if the probe is covered by build-up on the socket.Mount the instrument at a locationin the vessel where e.g. no moundscan form.Signal lamp flash-es redElectronics mod-ule has detected afailureExchange the instrument or send it infor repairRemove the electronics module. Check the resistance between thetwo plug connections.There must no longer be a connection (high impedance). If there isstill a connection - exchange the instrument or return it for repairChecking the switchingsignalCheck the resistance inthe probe
