Table 2. Error Codes and Solutions (during operation) 

Code  M08 Display 

Cause 

Solution 

*R 

System Normal 

System normal 

No errors 

*J 

SCPU Fatal Error 

Hardware defect 

Contact the factory 

*I 

Signal Not Detected 

Signal not detected. 

Attach  transducer  to  the  pipe  and 
tighten  it  securely.  Apply  a  plenty  of 
coupling compound on transducer and 
pipe wall. 

Spacing is not correct between the 
transducers 

or 

not 

enough 

coupling  compound  applied  to 
face of transducers. 

Remove any rust, scale, or loose paint 
from  the  pipe  surface.  Clean  it  with  a 
file. 

Transducers installed improperly.  Check the initial parameter settings. 

Scale is too thick. 

Remove the scale or change the scaled 
pipe section. Normally, it is possible to 
change  a  measurement  location.  The 
instrument  may run  properly  at  a new 
site with less scale. 

New pipe liner. 

Wait  until  liners  solidified  and 
saturated. 

*H 

Low Signal Strength 

Low signal strength. 
Cause  refers  to  above-mentioned 
reasons. 

Solution  refers  to  above-mentioned 
solutions. 

*H 

Poor Signal Quality 

Poor signal quality 
All  reasons  are  included  in  the 
above-mentioned causes.   

Solution  refers  to  above-mentioned 
solutions. 

*F 

Refer to Table 1. 

Error  in  self-diagnoses  during 
power on. 

Power  on  again;  resolve  it  by  the 
method listed in Table 1. If it is still a 
problem, contact the factory. 

Permanent hardware error. 

Contact the factory. 

*G 

Adjusting Gain>S1 
Adjusting Gain>S2 
Adjusting Gain>S3 
Adjusting Gain>S4 
(Display 

in 

Menus 

M00,M01,M02,M03) 

Adjusting  gain  for  normal 
measurement. 
Stop in S1 or S2 and only switch 
between  S1  and  S2  indicates  a 
poor  waveform  or  low  signal 
strength.  All  reasons  may  be 
included  in  above-mentioned 
items. 

 

*K 

Pipe Empty. Set in Menu M29 

No  fluid  in  pipe  or  settings 
incorrect. 

Once fluid is detected in the pipe, set 0 
in Menu M29.
