III. Trouble Shooting 

With highly reliable design, the BE6000 ultrasonic flowmeter has a low failure rate. However, problems may 
occur as a result of unskillful handling, setting errors or working in an extremely undesirable working 
condition. For this reason, the meter is equipped with a self-diagnostic function. Problems detected are 
displayed in time order in code form on the upper right corner of the LCT screen. Hardware malfunctions, 
though generally checked after power is on, can also be detected (part of them) while the device is working 
normally. Information about “stop working” problems caused by wrong settings or undesirable working 
conditions can also be displayed, so users can locate the problems quickly and solve the problems according 
to the solutions offered in the following two tables in time.  
 
There are two kinds of error displayed in BE6000:  
 

- 

Error messages are displayed during self-test after the power is switched on. After entering the 

measurement mode, if there is an error, “*F” will be displayed at the top left corner of the screen. Check the 
information being displayed and take specific steps according to the following tables. If problems persist, 
contact your BE6000 distributor. 
 

- 

Errors about the specific signal received or wrong settings can be displayed by the M08 

window in error code form. Errors and solutions are listed in the following tables;
