Problem Signature

Sensor breakfor every selected sensor type in OVEN Configurator.

Test condition Observed result
Module power and network connected Values appeared and the system worked

Confirmed Resolution

The successful change was to connect both the module power and the network rather than evaluating the installation only through the USB connection. After those connections were made, the sensor data appeared and the setup operated.

  1. Connect the module to the network.
  2. Open OVEN Configurator and confirm that the channel displays a measurement instead of Sensor break.

Diagnostic Interpretation

The evidence does not establish a sensor-to-module incompatibility. Multiple DTS014 sensors failed under the USB-only observation condition but worked after power and network were connected. This isolates the decisive change to the module operating connections, not sensor replacement.

The evidence also does not identify whether power, network connectivity, or their combination cleared the status. If the fault remains, verify those two conditions independently before changing sensor type or declaring the DTS014 incompatible.

Verification Criteria

Accept the repair only when OVEN Configurator shows the channel measurement and no longer reports Sensor break.

FAQ

In the reported case, the configuration was being viewed through USB without the complete operating connections. Connecting module power and the network made the measurement appear and cleared the problem.

The reported installation worked after power and network were connected, so the evidence does not support an incompatibility diagnosis.
