| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Power supply failure | Check 24V DC at terminals. Verify fuse. | | Output stuck at 22 mA | Sensor break / open circuit | Check input wiring continuity. Test sensor separately. | | Erratic, jumping signal | Electrical noise / Ground loop | Ensure shield is grounded only at VCA01000. Use ferrite cores on cables. | | Output is always 0% | Misconfigured DIP switch | Verify input range matches sensor output. | | Excessive heat on housing | Overloaded output | Measure loop resistance; reduce to <600 Ω or use powered repeater. |
