PROBLEM SOLUTIONSPOSSIBLE CAUSES

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Power is applied to unit but the display

does not light.

Unit works, but occasionally the display

freezes or skips counts.

Input signal is connected but the unit

does not count or display rate.

Rate is displaying: r FFFFF.

Relays are not activating properly.

Counter resets before reaching 999999.

Various menu items are not being

displayed.

1. AC or DC power wiring is incorrect.

1. Line noise is affecting the processor

due to a current spike or surge.

1. Input wiring is incorrect.

2. Scale factors are incorrect.

3. Transmitting device is defective.

4. Wrong debounce filtering selected.

5. Unit is defective.

1. The unit is trying to display a

number which it can't (too small or

too large).

2. Line noise affected unit on power

up.

1. Wrong relay duration.

2. Relay set for wrong activation

i.e. count instead of rate.

1. Relay duration is set at a value other

than 00.0. This causes the counter

to auto-reset at the preset.

1. The menu flow chart and the setup

steps show the setup for the units

with rate and total (DPF75). When

using a unit which has only count

(DPF76) or only rate (DPF78)

several menu items will not be

displayed.

1. Recheck power wiring

1. Use a different power supply or

install a surge suppressor.

1. Recheck input wiring.

2. Recheck scale factors and factor

calculations.

3. Replace transmitting device.

4. Recheck debounce filtering selection

"hi cps" or "lo cps".

5. To confirm set scale factors at one

and connect a wire to pin #7 and

touch it to pin # 5 (input A). Each

time pin #5 is touched counter A

should count once. If not, call

OMEGA. (this test will not

work on units with quadrature input)

1. Check scaling factor, if it is correct,

lower the number of significant

figures.

2. Reprogram the unit, be sure to enter

a decimal (enter one and remove it if

a decimal is not desired).

1. Recheck programmed relay duration.

2. Recheck programmed relay

activation mode.

1. If relay outputs are not being used,

set the relays for rate (DPF75 only).

2. Set the relay durations to 00.0.

1. The menu items which do not

appear are not used for the models

without the ratemeter (DPF76) or

without the counter (DPF78).

Therefore, disregard any menu items

which appear on the flowchart and

setup steps, but do not appear on

the unit's display.
