General
The FLOWSIC600 does not contain mechanically moving parts. The meter body and ultra-
sonic transducers are the only components that come into contact with the gaseous
media. Titanium and high-quality stainless steel ensure that these components are
resistant to corrosion, provided that the meter is installed and operated in accordance with
the relevant specifications. This means that the FLOWSIC600 is a low-maintenance
system. User Warning Limits can be configured to provide early warnings for possible
issues with contamination or blockage. Maintenance is limited mainly to routine checks to
determine the plausibility of the measured values and diagnostic results produced by the
system.
It is recommended that Maintenance Reports be created and filed on a regular basis
(
). This creates a basis of comparable data over time and helps when a
problem requires diagnosis.
Routine checks:
»Comparing theoretical and measured Speed of Sound (SOS)« (pg. 169)
»Checking the meter health« (pg. 171)
»Time synchronization« (pg. 172)
»Battery lifespan / capacity« (pg. 173)
Documentation:
»Maintenance report« (pg. 174)
Optional data download:
»Diagnostics Comparison Report Check« (pg. 181)
»Backup of MEPAFLOW600 CBM meter database« (pg. 185)
Optional advanced configurations:
»Optional adaptation of the User Warnings« (pg. 185)
The operating conditions (gas composition, pressure, temperature, flow
velocity) of the individual Maintenance Reports should be comparable or
documented separately and taken into account when the data is analyzed.
