10.1 Troubleshooting
The following is list of troubleshooting tips and messages that you may encounter. They include
explanations and, in some cases, a recommended action. If a problem seems unsolvable,
contact your local Siemens office or regional Ultrasonic Flow Representative for expert help
at http://www.automation.siemens.com/partner ( http://www.automation.siemens.com/

Table 10-1 Troubleshooting Tips
Message Description
Memory Full! Response to an attempt to save site data, when data memory is full. Delete an obsolete
site or clear Datalogger memory to make room for the new data.
Memory Corrupted! Memory read error occurred while accessing the active site data.
Chan Not Setup Response to an attempt to invoke an operation that requires a channel to be enabled.
Enable the channel [Channel Setup - Channel Enable - Yes]. Note that a channel cannot
be enabled until its transducers are operating.
Clr Active Memory? Response to pressing the F4 key. Use the F4 function to restore operation if a severe event
(e.g., a violent power surge) disrupts system operation.
Clr Saved Data? [Clr Saved Data?] only appears after answering No to [Clr Active Memory?]. Answering Yes
to [Clr Saved Data?] will erase ALL saved data.
<EOT> Response to a request to output Datalogger data to the printer or the Graphics screen when
no Datalogger data exists. Set up the Datalogger.
Empty Pipe - Press <ENT> Prompt to empty the pipe during the Actual MTY procedure. After emptying pipe, press
<ENT>.
Fill Pipe - Press <ENT> Prompt to fill the pipe during the Actual MTY procedure. After filling the pipe, press <ENT>.
No Sites - Press <ENT> Response while trying to recall/delete a site setup when no sites are stored.
Re-space Index Upon measuring the liquid sonic velocity (Vs), the meter recommends re-spacing the
transducers to improve performance.
Invalid Setup (use Direct
Mode)
During the Initial Makeup the system detects invalid transducer spacing, erroneous liquid
pipe parameters, or some other factor that prevents it from completing the Initial Makeup.
This may be due to one of the following:
● An out-of-range data entry.
● An invalid condition (e.g., overlapping transducers in Reflect Mode). If selecting Direct
Mode does not resolve, review all site setup and transducer installation choices
particularly data entered for pipe and liquid.
● In Reflect Mode the flow meter detects that the pipe wall signal may infringe upon the
liquid signal. Use Direct Mode instead.
● Press <ENT>, <Up Arrow>, <Down Arrow>, or <Left Arrow> to abort install routine.
Continue programming other site data in anticipation of resolving the difficulty later. Call
technical support for help if necessary.
