17. If the resistance measured in step 16 is less than 10 MΩ,
check the cable between the Transmitter and the Local
Display according to the steps in chapter 9.14.8 below.
18. If the Local Display is causing the ground failure, try
cleaning and drying the inside of the display. If this
does not help replace the Local Display.
9.14.7 Ground Failure – Wire Terminals
19. If you have come this far in your search for the ground
failure, check the wire terminals. See chapter 9.14.9.
9.14.8 Checking a Cable for Ground Failure
Note: If the cables have not previously been marked, mark them
before removing them from the wire terminal.
1. Disconnect all wires in both ends of the cable. Make
sure the wires are not in contact with anything.
3. Hold all the wires of the cable together so that they are
in contact with each other and measure the resistance
between cable and ground (for example, use ground bar
inside the transmitter housing). If the resistance is
larger than 10 MΩ, the cable is OK.
4. If the resistance measured in step 3 is less than 10 MΩ,
measure between each single wire and ground to find
which wire that is causing the ground failure. When it
has been located, check if there is any spare wire in the
cable or lay a new cable.
9.14.9 Checking a Wire Terminal for Ground Failure
1. Remove all wires from the terminal. Measure the resis-
tance between each terminal and ground. If the resis-
tance is larger than 10 MΩ, the terminal is OK.
2. If the resistance is less than 10 MΩ, try to dry the termi-
nal as well as spraying it with CRC666-spray or equiva-
lent de-moisturizing spray.
