5   Troubleshooting and service 

5.1   General 

For a correct analysis of the proper operation of a flow/pressure meter or controller it is recommended to remove the 

unit from the process line and check it without applying fluid supply pressure. In case the unit is dirty, this can be 

ascertained immediately by loosening the compression type couplings and, if applicable the flange on the inlet side. 

 

Energizing or de-energizing of the instrument indicates whether there is an electronic failure. After that, fluid pressure 

is to be applied in order to check behaviour. If there should be suspicion of leakage in case of a gas unit, do not check 

for bubbles with a leak detection liquid under the cover as this may lead to a short-circuit in the sensor or p.c.board. 

5.2   LED indication 

The red LED on the instrument gives error or warning information.
