Meter Monitor (Summary) view
•
The meter is unable to obtain measurement
data from a pair of transducers.
•
The cause may be isolated to one pair of trans-
ducers or its cabling. Check the transducer
wiring for this pair of transducers to make sure
connections are secure and wired correctly.
•
Verify that the meter run is not partially full
where this top transducer pair is not
submerged in the process fluid.
•
Verify the average gain of this transducer pair
is not above 90dB. Read the value from the
Daniel MeterLink Monitor Page or using AMS
under Service Tools|Path performance.
•
Remove the transducer and clean the trans-
ducer face. Reapply coupling fluid to the
transducer face and reinstall.(
