Hello rw01 The MiniRanger Plus has been out of production for quite some time. It sounds as if you have a bad contact on one of the keys. Unfortunately this can't be repaired. It is possible to communicate to the device via infra-red with a Dolphin+ Interface. http://www.automation.siemens.com/w1/process-instrumentation-dolphin-plus-10927.htm I would not recommendpurchasing this at this stage as the units seem to be near the end of life. Regarding the error in reading. The Mini+ measures level. The conversion to volume is just mathematics. So the first step is to determine if the level reading is correct. If the keypad were working, you could measure the distance from the face of the transducer to the liquid level by pressing the <enter><up><down> keys all at once. This could then be verified with a physical measurment. Concerning the melted enclosures. The enclosures are made of PVDFwhich hasa melting point of about 165°C. The electronics are rated to 80°C. There is good possibility that there is heat damage. Unfortunately, the only option is replacement with a MultiRanger. Please contact your regional sales office. |

I recycled power early in my investigation. I will wait for the salesman to let me know they have the new hardware and then will go install that. thanks, rw |
