7. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
If you encounter issues with your VOLTCRAFT SEM5000, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| പ്രശ്നം | സാധ്യമായ കാരണം | പരിഹാരം |
|---|---|---|
| ഡിസ്പ്ലേ ശൂന്യമാണ് അല്ലെങ്കിൽ മിന്നിമറയുന്നു. | No power, loose connection, or internal fault. | Ensure the device is securely plugged into a live outlet. Try a different outlet. If the problem persists, contact support. |
| Cannot insert/remove appliance plug easily. | Tight socket tolerance. | Apply firm, even pressure when inserting or removing the plug. Ensure the plug is aligned correctly. Do not force it excessively. |
| Data not saving to SD card. | SD card not inserted correctly, incompatible card, or card is full/corrupted. | Ensure the SD card is fully inserted. Try a different, known-good SD card. Format the SD card (this will erase all data on the card). |
| Incorrect cost calculation. | Tariff settings are incorrect. | Verify and re-enter your electricity tariff rates and time periods in the settings menu (Section 5.2). |
| കൃത്യമല്ലാത്ത വായനകൾ. | Device malfunction or exceeding specifications. | Ensure the connected appliance's power consumption is within the device's specified limits (max 3680W / 16A). If readings are consistently off, contact support. |
