Possible causes and recommended actions for electrical shortsTable 10-11:
Possible cause Recommended action
Moisture inside the junction box Ensure that the junction box is dry and no corrosion is
present.
Liquid or moisture inside the sensor
case
Contact Micro Motion.
Internally shorted feedthrough Contact Micro Motion.
Faulty cable Replace the cable.
Improper wire termination Verify wire terminations inside sensor junction box. The
Micro Motion document titled 9-Wire Flowmeter Cable Prep-
aration and Installation Guide may offer some assistance.
10.28.1 Check the sensor coils
Checking the sensor coils can identify electrical shorts.
Restriction
This procedure applies only to 9-wire remote-mount transmitters and remote transmitters with
remote core processors.
Procedure
1. Disconnect power to the transmitter.
CAUTION!
If the transmitter is in a hazardous area, wait 5 minutes before continuing.
2. Remove the end-cap from the core processor housing.
3. Unplug the terminal blocks from the terminal board on the core processor.
4. Using a digital multimeter (DMM), check the pickoff coils by placing the DMM leads
on the unplugged terminal blocks for each terminal pair. See Table 10-12 for a list of
the coils. Record the values.
Coils and test terminal pairsTable 10-12:
Coil Sensor model Terminal colors

Left pickoff coil (LPO) All Green to white
Right pickoff coil (RPO) All Blue to gray
Resistance temperature detector (RTD) All Yellow to violet
