Manufacturer Narrative

Per the data log analysis, the complaint indicated that the issue occurred on (b)(6) 2020, but the log review shows the issue likely occurred on (b)(6) 2020.On (b)(6) 2020 the level module was reporting that the alert probe status was changing from coupled to disconnected back to coupled.This occurred 22 times while the level detection was enabled.This will cause an alert tone to occur as reported.All but one of the 22 alerts cleared so fast that the ccm was not notified of what caused the alert.The log review confirms the complaint.During laboratory analysis, the product surveillance technician (pst) verified the reported issue.The level sensor had a short where the cable connects to the sensor.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
