Thermo Fisher Scientific instruments, from analytical and laboratory equipment to process analysers, are built from modules and boards that can be repaired one at a time.
Common faults
What usually fails on a unit like the 42545/4008
Field instruments fail in their electronics, sensor element or housing, and the reading has to be right after repair. Transmitters, analysers, detectors and their electronic modules can be repaired and checked against a reference.
No output or fixed output
Failed electronics module, power supply or loop interface.
Drift and wrong readings
Ageing sensor elements, contamination or damaged input circuits.
Moisture ingress
Water in the housing or terminal box, especially through the monsoon.
Display and communication faults
Dead local displays and HART or fieldbus communication errors.
Detector faults
Gas, flame and metal detectors failing self-test or giving false alarms.
Amplifier
Amplifiers are tested on a load after repair, with the output checked across its range.
First checks
What to check before calling an engineer
Isolate and lock out the supply, and wait for stored energy to discharge, before opening anything.
Safe for plant staff
- Check the loop supply and wiring.
- Note the reading against a known value, if one is available.
- Check housings and cable glands for water.
Leave to a specialist
- Repair and calibration of electronics.
- Work in hazardous areas.
- Changing ranges and configuration.
