I would check your wiring again, you may have it connected incorrectly....

Hi Orson,

I don't know what fluid you are measuring, but on our projects they have specced a variety of these "radar" level sensors, and the one common thread was they all were unreliable. During my one year warranty phases, I would have to change them 2 or 3 times--- failures were in the receivers (sometimes) and the sending units (often). Finally, with customer buy in, I switched to a drop in, membrane type, pressure transducer and never touched them again. And it gave me consistent readings, within an inch or two of my tape, in 12 meter deep tanks --- something the radar never came close too.

Hi Expat,

This electronics could not be initialized means the card may become faulty . we are in start / commissioning stage. 90% of level transmitters are E&H radar Fmp series . it was installed last 1.5 year ago . I want to make sure this is a kind of unsolvable error which is required a replacement of card or transmitters itself .

this can be due to error in the communication portion which never getting access from the I/O (initial start OR ready for operation ) section .
