Page: 61 / 63

Problem

Probable cause

Solution

The displayed ﬂow rate
is higher than expected

The electrodes are immersed but
the pipe is not completely full

Make sure that the pipe is
completely full, for example,
installing the ﬂowmeter in a vertical
pipe with upwards ﬂow.

Blown fuse

Change the fuse

Not enough current from the power
supply

Change the power supply

The analog output gives
always 4 mA or 20 mA

Current output range not properly
programmed

Program the range properly (see
page 39)

The analog output gives
always 0 mA

Cable disconnected

Check the cable connection

The invalid current
message appears

Insufﬁcient current from the power
supply

Change the power supply

Display is blank
