Troubleshooting

The Eclipse transmitter is designed and engineered for

trouble-free operation over a wide range of operating

conditions. Common transmitter problems are discussed

in terms of their symptoms and recommended corrective

actions. Information on how to handle material buildup

on the probe is also provided in this section.

WARNING!

Explosion hazard. Do not connect or

disconnect equipment unless power

has been switched off or the area is

known to be non-hazardous.
