13.2. Trouble: Non stable flow or Empty pipe alarm

Is flowmeter

installed according

to the installation

manual

Make correct

installation

Check if there is any

source of electrical

noise near the

flowmeter or pipe

Turn off all sources

of noise and check if

the flow is stable

now

Yes

Is the pipe totally full

with measured liquid

all the time?

Eliminate

the

electrical

noise

Empty pipe is confirmed.

Make better installation of

the flowmeter

Has the liquid

minimal conductivity

≥ 20µS/cm

Electromagnetic

flowmeter is not

applicable for this liquid

Contact technical support

Are there bubbles in

the liquid?

Eliminate the air bubbles.

Yes
