Signet 8150, Manual

16 8150 Flow Totalizer
1. Correct piping layout to provide more straight pipe upstream
of sensor.
2. Set the SPEED to higher setting to average out the
uctuations caused by piping conditions. (see Speed,
section 14)
16. Troubleshooting
Display Condition Suggested Solutions
Probable Cause
Replace both batteries.
Pages 17-19 provide K-Factors for the Signet
515 and 525 ow sensors. Use this table to
convert the K-Factor to other units of measure,
and to set the Total K-Factor.
NOTE:
•
The maximum K-Factor is 999999.
• The minimum K-Factor is 0.001.
17. Flow and Total K-Factor Selection
The ow rate display
is erratic and non-linear
Usually caused by inadequate
straight pipe run upstream of
sensor.
Press RIGHT key to start AutoCAL procedure again.
Make sure that the ow rate entered is accurate.
1. There is no ow in the pipe.
2. Flow sensor is not turning due to blockage or damage.
3. Sensor wiring is loose or incorrect.
1. Reduce the ow rate.
2. Change the Timebase to a smaller value.
(Example: Change from “Day” to “Hour”.)
3. Change the ow units to a larger measure.
(Example: Change from “Litres” to “Gallons”.)
NOTE: If the Flow K-Factor is changed, be sure to make a
corresponding change to the TOTAL K-Factor.
Both batteries are too depleted
to safely store settings.
Replace battery #1, then replace battery #2.

Batteries are dead or missing
The ow rate is greater than
“9999”
8150 is not receiving a signal from
the ow sensor.
In AutoCal, the calculated K-Factor
is outside the range of the 8150.
(less than 0.001 or greater than
99999)
