3. Improper installation of flowmeter.
Check for electrical noise, pulsation or swirl in the flow.
4. Flowrates too high or too low.
See section on display calibration for flowrates.
B. READOUT FADED
1. Power not connected.
Check power supply.
2. Wiring incorrect.
Verify connections.
3. Computer defective.
Contact the factory.
4. Temperature limits exceeded.
Check temperature specifications.

2. Computer defective.
Contact the factory.
3. Loose wire or mis-wired.
Check wiring diagram or cable installation.
4. Sensor not attached to turbine.
Check continuity of sensor.
5. Faulty sensor.
Contact the factory.
D. LOOP OUTPUT

E. LOOP OUTPUT
1. Output response-time setting too short,
Select a longer response-time setting.

especially for slow input signal.
2. Input connections bad.
Check all signal-input connections for intermittent open- or
short-circuits.
F. LOOP-OUTPUT
