Troubleshooting
11.24.3
Drive gain problems
Problems with drive gain can appear in several different forms:
•
Saturated or excessive (near 100%) drive gain
•
Erratic drive gain (e.g., rapid shifting from positive to negative)
•
Negative drive gain
See Table 11-7 for a list of possible problems and remedies.
11.24.4
Low pickoff voltage
Low pickoff voltage can be caused by several problems. See Table 11-8.
Table 11-7
Drive gain problems, causes, and remedies
Cause
Possible remedy
Excessive slug flow
Cavitation or flashing
• Increase inlet or back pressure at the sensor.
• If a pump is located upstream from the sensor, increase the distance
between the pump and sensor.
Plugged flow tube
• Purge the flow tubes.
Mechanical binding of sensor tubes
• Ensure sensor tubes are free to vibrate. Possible problems include:
- Pipe stress. Check for pipe stress and eliminate if present.
- Lateral tube shift due to hammer effect. If this is a possibility,
contact Micro Motion. See Section 11.3.
- Warped tubes caused by overpressurization. If this is a possibility,
contact Micro Motion.
Incorrect sensor type configured
• Verify sensor type configuration, then verify sensor characterization.
Open drive or left pickoff sensor coil
• Contact Micro Motion. See Section 11.3.
Drive board or module failure, cracked flow tube,
or sensor imbalance
• Contact Micro Motion. See Section 11.3.
Table 11-8
Low pickoff voltage causes and remedies
Cause
Possible remedy
Slug flow
• See Section 11.17.
No tube vibration in sensor
• Check for plugging.
Moisture in the sensor electronics
• Eliminate the moisture in the sensor electronics.
Damaged sensor
• Ensure sensor is free to vibrate (no mechanical binding).
Possible problems include:
- Pipe stress. Check for pipe stress and eliminate if
present.
- Lateral tube shift due to hammer effect. If this is a
possibility, contact Micro Motion. See Section 11.3.
- Warped tubes caused by overpressurization. If this is a
possibility, contact Micro Motion.
• Test sensor circuitry. See Section 11.25.
• Contact Micro Motion.
