Tips and troubleshooting
Start with these basic procedures if a system is not operating properly.
-
Review your Aspen 10 Health & Status. See Status for more information.
-
Ensure your system is well grounded. See Grounding. The symptoms of a poorly grounded system range from bad measurements, to intermittent communications, to damaged hardware.
-
Check wires and cables for the following:
-
Loose connection points. Disconnect and reconnect the sensor. Observe the LED indicator.
-
Faulty connectors
-
Cut wires
-
Damaged insulation, which allows water to migrate into the cable. Water, whether or not it comes in contact with wire, can cause system failure. Water may increase the dielectric constant of the cable sufficiently to impede sensor signals, or it may migrate into the sensor, which will damage sensor electronics.

-
Press the Power button and observe the LED indicator to understand the current state of the Aspen 10.
