10.1.3  Analog Errors and Warnings Originating from the BioProTT

TM

 FlowMCP-a

The most common reason for an error occurring is that the system has not been properly assembled. Ensure 
that the sensor and power supply cables have been properly attached and that there are no electromagnetic 

interferences influencing the system.

These errors are sent via the analog interface and additionally displayed on the web interface of the device. 

When an error is activated, the current on the corresponding flow channel (RSS and flow current interface) 
is set to 0.5 mA ±1 %.

— 

start-up self-test on flow measurement board failed during memory checks

Internal failure on flow measurement 

board (RAM-failure) during start-up was 

detected.

If auto-reset function is not set:

1. 

Power off the device (disconnect the power supply) or 

perform a reset of the flow channel.

2. 

Power on the device again (reconnect the power supply).

 

If the error is no longer present, the device can be used like 

normal.

 

If the problem persists, return the device for servicing.

If the auto-reset function is set:

The BioProTT

TM

 FlowMCP resets the board to clear the error.

 

If the error is no longer present, then the device can be used 

like normal.

 

If the problem persists, return the device for servicing.

Internal voltage failure was detected 

on the flow measurement board during 

start-up.

Ensure the power supply for the BioProT

 FlowMCP is within 

the specified operating range. 

If auto-reset function is not set:

1. 

Power off the device (disconnect the power supply) or 

perform a reset of the flow channel.

2.

If the error is no longer present, the device can be used like 

normal.

 

If the problem persists, return the device for servicing.

If the auto-reset function is set:

The BioProTT
