TROUBLESHOOTING 

 
 

Symptom Possible 

cause 

Action 

No output signal on FLOW-BUS 
interface 

Bad communication with FLOW-BUS 

Check communication e.g. with 
local readout module or PC-test 
program 

No or slow response to setpoint 
changes 

Slope value could be set too high 
(ramp function for setpoint signal) 

Check and/or change slope value 
with readout module or PC-software 
program 

 

Control mode/setpoint source for 
instrument could point to a different 
setpoint source 

Check if correct control 
mode/setpoint source is selected for 
the instrument 

 

Other instrument (or PC) connected 
to FLOW-BUS could change the 
setpoint 

Make sure who is in charge to 
change setpoints 

 

Polynomial factors could be wrong 

Check if right fluid has been 
selected and check polynomial 
factors A..D with those on your 
calibration certificate 

Inaccuracy of measurement 

Wrong fluid (and thus calibration 
settings) could be selected (up to 8 
fluids possible) 

Check if correct fluid is selected for 
this instrument 

 

 

Check if powering of instrument is 
done correctly 

Analog output range is too low/high 

Wrong output range could be selected  Check if wanted output range 

(analog) is selected 

No/bad connection to FLOW-BUS 

Wrong cable used 
 

Check cabling 
 

 

Bad termination of RS485 bus-line 

Check bus termination 

 

Other module(s) on the bus could 
cause trouble 

Check correct functioning from other 
module(s) on the bus (PC-programs 
with interface modules included) 

No communication possible with PC-
software program 

Interface settings could be wrong 

Check settings e.g. for RS232 
(COM-port and baudrate) 

 

Interface has bad connection to 
FLOW-BUS 

Check cabling of interface 

Red or green LED’s are blinking on 
top of the instrument 

Instrument is in a special operation 
mode or is indicating some kind of 
error/warning 

See manual 9.17.023 for more 
details 

No/bad reaction to manual 
instructions by means of micro push-
button switch on top 

Some actions can only be used under 
special conditions 

See manual 9.17.023 for more 
details 

Master-slave controlling doesn’t 
function well 

Connection to master signal could be 
lost  

Check if master output is given 
correctly 

 

Settings for this special controlling 
mode could be wrong 

Check if settings are correct (control 
mode, slave-factor) 

Controller doesn’t function as wanted 

Settings for controller are for other 
behaviour than you want 

Under certain conditions you could 
run an auto-tune for controller 
optimisation.  
(see manual 9.17.023) 

 

 

Change reponse factor settings for 
controller (see manual of 
readout/control module or  
PC-software) 

Other troubles 

One or more parameter settings could 
be wrong 

Get back original factory settings by 
means of micro push-button on top 
(see manual 9.17.023)

assistance if the above doesn’t help
