Error or
Message
Probable Cause
Solution
Invalid Setup
During the Initial Makeup the system detects
invalid sensor spacing, erroneous liquid/pipe
parameters, or some other factor that prevents it
from completing the Initial Makeup.
This may be due to one of the following:
An out-of-range data entry.
An invalid condition (e.g., overlapping sensors
in Reflect Mode).
In Reflect Mode the flow meter detects that the
pipe wall signal may impinge upon the signal.
Press <ENTER>, <Up Arrow>, <Down Arrow>,
or <Left Arrow> to abort install routine.
Continue programming other site data in
anticipation of resolving the difficulty later. Call
technical support for help, if necessary.
Low Signal -
Press <ENTER>
During the Initial Makeup the flow meter decides
that the level of the receive signal is insufficient for
proper operation.
Some reasons for low signal are:
Invoking [Install Complete] on an empty pipe.
Coupling compound insufficient; not applied or
evaporated. Reapply couplant.
A disconnected or broken sensor cable.
The pipe needs to be conditioned at the
mounting location.
Flush out large air bubbles.
The sensor cables are defective or not
connected to the correct channel.
The Set Empty routine performed when pipe
was NOT actually empty.
If you locate and correct the improper condition
immediately, press <ENTER> to resume the
installation procedure. Otherwise, press the <Left
Arrow> to abort the installation and conduct a
thorough investigation.
Detection Fault If it appears that the flow meter cannot complete
an Initial Makeup it means that the pipe and/or
liquid conditions do not permit a receive signal that
meets the flow detection standards. The system
will not operate.
Call technical support for help, if necessary.
Note
If you receive a Detection Fault message, it is strongly recommended that the Technical
Service Department (
