Common Fault Symptoms

• Abnormal vibration readings
• Signal spikes or noise
• Signal drift over time
• No output signal

Troubleshooting Methodology

1. Validate signal plausibility
2. Compare with reference instrument
3. Inspect mechanical installation
4. Check electrical environment

Typical Root Causes

• Poor mounting or loose installation
• Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• Improper grounding
• Cable damage or mismatch

Diagnostic Techniques

  // Diagnostic Logic
  IF Signal_Noise > Threshold THEN
     Check EMI;
  ELSE IF No_Output THEN
     Check Wiring;
  END_IF;
  

• Measure signal output stability
• Use oscilloscope for waveform analysis
• Inspect cable continuity

Corrective Actions
