7 Maintenance and troubleshooting
Maintenance:
• Maintenance means that all measures which will guarantee the safety of operation and
reliability of the entire measuring system are taken in due time.
Maintenance of CPM 223 / 253 includes:
• Calibration (see chapter 5.9)
• Cleaning of assembly and sensor
• Checking of cables and connections
Troubleshooting:
Determination and elimination of the cause of the problem in the case of an operating fault.
Troubleshooting refers to measures that can be performed without intervention in the instrument
(for instrument defects, see chapter 8, Corrective maintenance).
Troubleshooting of the CPM 223/253 and the measuring system is performed with the aid of the
troubleshooting table in chapter 7.1.
Warning:
• Please be aware of effects work
performed on the instrument might
have on the process control
system or the process itself.
• When removing the sensor during
maintenance or calibration, please
consider potential hazards due to
pressure, high temperatures and
contamination.
Note:
• Please contact your E+H support
office if you have any queries. You
can also send your queries to the
E+H Service Organisation via the
Internet.

7.1 Troubleshooting common problems
Error
Possible cause Remedy Equipment need, spare parts
Device cannot be
operated, value 9999
– Operation locked Press simultaneously the CAL and
MINUS keys
See chap. 4.3
Measuring chain not
adjustable
– Reference system poisened Test with new Sensor pH/mV sensor
– Diaphragma clogged Clean or grind down diaphragma HCl 3 %, use file (only file in one
direction)
– Measuring line open Short-circuit pH input on
instrument ⇒ display pH 7
– Sensor asymmetry voltage too
high
Clean diaphragma test with other
sensor
HCl 3 %, use file (only file in one
direction)
– Potential matching (PA/PM)
Liquisys ⇔ wrong medium
asymm.: no PA or PA conn. to PE
symm.: PA connection mandatory
See chap. 3.5
No or creeping change
of display
– Sensor soiled Clean sensor See chap. 8.6.2
– Sensor ageing Replace sensor new sensor
– Sensor defective (ref. electrode) Replace sensor new Sensor
– No internal buffer Check KCl supply
(0.8 bar above medium pressure!)
KCl (CPY 4-x)
Measuring chain slope /
slope too low
– No high-resistance connection
(moisture, dirt)
Check cables, connectors and
junction boxes
pH simulator,
Insulation see chap. 8.6.5
– Instrument input defective Check instrument directly pH simulator
– Sensor ageing Replace sensor pH sensor
Measuring chain slope
not adjustable / no slope
– Hair crack in glass membrane Replace sensor pH sensor
– No high-resistance connection
(moisture, dirt)
Check cables, connectors and
junction boxes
