Manual-no.: 999162 // 19/01/2011TroubleshootingFault Possible cause Remedy❑ No display. ➨ Power supply (wall plug) notplugged in, no power avail-able?✔ Plug in power supply, con-nect cable of power supply(wall plug) to DCP 3000.Switch on device. Checkmains fuse.➨ DCP 3000 switched off? ✔ Switch device on.➨ Power supply (wall plug) notconnected to DCP 3000?✔ Connect cable of power sup-ply (wall plug) to DCP 3000.➨ Other causes (device defec-tive)?✔ Contact local distributor.❑ Malfunction of gaugehead indicated (warningtriangle is flashing) or inmenu “Sensors” one ofthe displayed sensors isflashing.➨ Pressure transducer not con-nected?✔ Plug the pressure transducerinto the socket of the DCP3000.➨ Pressure transducer or con-necting cable defective?✔ Replace pressure transduceror connecting cable if neces-sary.❑ The pressure reading istoo high in the low pres-sure range.➨ Pressure transducer contami-nated?✔ Clean pressure transducerand readjust.➨ Pressure transducer not cor-rectly adjusted?✔ Readjust pressure trans-ducer correctly.❑ The pressure reading istoo low at atmosphericpressure.➨ Pressure transducer not cor-rectly adjusted?✔ Readjust pressure trans-ducer correctly at atmospher-ic pressure.➨ Pressure measurement withVSP 3000?✔ Fluctuations within the rangeof the measurement uncer-tainty. Use pressure trans-ducer VSK 3000.❑ Displayed pressure valueis fluctuating.➨ Pressure fluctuations dueto the set-up of the vacuumsystem?✔ No measuring fault. Checkand change set-up of thevacuum system if necessary.➨ Plug of the cable to the pres-sure transducer not correctlyplugged in?✔ Plug the cable correctly intothe socket at the rear of theDCP 3000.➨ Position of the pressure trans-ducer VSK 3000 has beenchanged (e.g. from horizontalto vertical)? Fluctuation ofthe displayed pressure in therange of 0.2 - 0.4 mbar?✔ Readjust pressure trans-ducer, if exact pressureindication is required..➨ Pressure transducer VSP3000 is still in the warm-upphase?✔ Allow for a warm-up time of20 minutes.
