Vaisala TCI101 NiteStar - Manual (Page 21)

TROUBLESHOOTING CONTINUED…
4. Enter the proper calibration number or re-calibrate as described
in the Calibration section of your manual. Remember even if
working properly, the DMI will not count unless a calibration num-
ber has been entered.
5. If after step #3 the instrument does not power up, the problem
may be in the instrument and it should be returned for service.
Instrument is operational but does not count.
If the Nitestar has power and is operational but does not count,
the trouble is most likely installation or sensor related.
1. Check your connector as described earlier. If no power, check
for a loose connection or blown fuse. Always wear safety goggles
and protective clothing.
2. If you do have power to the DMI you may have a bad sensor.
To verify a bad sensor do the following:
A. Make sure the DMI has a Calibration Number.
If not, you can enter a fictitious number such as 900.
B. Set the DMI up just like you expect to drive away and have it
count (press Run/Hold key, etc.)
C. At the terminal block remove the green wire that comes from
the Nitestar.
D. Tap the green wire to the black wire several times. The black
wire should be ground. The instrument should count, it will reg-
ister a random number, but it should register a number. If it reg-
isters a number, most likely everything from the terminal block up
to the DMI is working, and the sensor may be defective.
E. If the DMI did not register a count, the wiring harness or the
DMI may be faulty.
If you have any questions, please call for Technical support at
(724) 438-8750. If you return your DMI always include a note
with your Name, Address (Both street and P.O Box) and a tele-
phone number so that we can contact you if necessary.
