PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Off-scale reading
Wiring is wrong.
Verify and correct wiring.
RTD is open or shorted.
Check the RTD for open or short circuits. 
See Figure 12.
Sensor is not in process stream.
Confirm that the sensor is fully submerged in 
the process stream. See installation section.
Sensor is damaged.
Perform isolation checks. See Figure 12.

manual for more information.
Temperature reading is inaccurate.
Disconnect the RTD leads (Figure 12) and 
measure the resistance between the in and 
common leads. Resistance should be close
to the value in Table 1.
