roblem 

Probable cause 

Solution 

Aparece la alarma de 
tubería vacía (bucle a 3,6 
mA o Winsmeter) 

La tubería está vacía 

Asegurarse de que la tubería esté 
siempre totalmente llena, 
instalando el caudalímetro en un 
tramo ascendente 

No se ha conectado la toma de 
tierra 

Conectar la toma de tierra del 
caudalímetro a un punto metálico 
de la instalación que esté en 
contacto con el líquido 

Aislamiento de los electrodos 

Limpiar los electrodos del sensor 

Cable de electrodos desconectado 

Conectar el cable entre el sensor y 
el convertidor electrónico 

Líquido con muy baja 
conductividad 

El caudalímetro no es el adecuado 
para la aplicación 

El caudal es inestable 

Suciedad en los electrodos 

Limpiar los electrodos del sensor. 

El producto contiene aire o 
partículas no conductoras en 
suspensión 

Verificar que el medidor de caudal 
es el adecuado para esta 
aplicación 

Indica caudal 0 (bucle a 
4 mA o Winsmeter) 

Cable de bobinas desconectado 

Conectar el cable entre el sensor y 
el convertidor electrónico 

El caudal es inferior al programado 
como CUT OFF 

Disminuir el valor del cut off (ver 
pág. 26) 

Ha entrado producto por los 
electrodos debido a corrosión. 
Material de electrodos no 
adecuado para el líquido 

Cambiar sensor  

No se ha conectado la toma de 
tierra y la opción de tubo vacío está 
en OFF 

Conectar la toma de tierra del 
caudalímetro a un punto metálico 
de la instalación que esté en 
contacto con el líquido 

Sensor inundado por operación en 
vacío 

Cambiar sensor y revisar 
instalación 

El caudal indicado es 
superior al esperado 

Los electrodos están sumergidos 
pero la tubería no está 
completamente llena 

Asegurarse de que la tubería esté 
siempre totalmente llena, 
instalando el caudalímetro en un 
tramo ascendente 

No se enciende el LED  

Corriente insuficiente de la fuente 
de alimentación 

Cambiar la fuente de alimentación 

La salida analógica 
siempre indica 4 mA o 
20 mA 

Programación inadecuada del 
rango de corriente 

Programar el rango correctamente 
(ver pág. 25) 

La salida analógica 
siempre indica 0 mA 

Cables desconectados 

Revisar la conexión de los cables 

Indica caudal y no hay 
caudal 

 

Problem 

Probable cause 

Solution 

Empty pipe alarm 
(current loop at 3.6 mA 
or Winsmeter) 

Pipe is empty 

Make sure that the pipe is 
completely full, for example, 
installing the flowmeter in a vertical 
pipe with upwards flow 

Isolation of the electrodes

 

Clean the sensor electrodes.

 

Electrode cable disconnected

 

Connect the cable between the 
sensor and the electronic converter

 

Liquid with very low conductivity

 

The flowmeter is not adequate for 
the application

 

The flow rate is unstable 

Dirt on the electrodes

 

Clean the sensor electrodes

 

The product contains air or non-
conductive particles in suspension

 

Verify that the flowmeter is 
adequate for this application

 

The indicated flow rate  
is 0 (current loop at 4 
mA or Winsmeter) 

Coil cable disconnected

 

Connect the cable between the 
sensor and the electronic converter

 

The flow rate is smaller than 
programmed as CUT OFF

 

Decrease the value of the cut off 
(see page 26) 

The instrument indicates 
a value when there is not 
flow 

The sensor is damaged due to 
electrodes corrosion

 

Electrode material not adequate for 
the liquid

 

Change the sensor  

Sensor flooded by vacuum 
operation 

Change the sensor and check the 
installation 

The displayed flow rate 
is higher than expected 

The electrodes are immersed but 
the pipe is not completely full

 

Make sure that the pipe is 
completely full, for example, 
installing the flowmeter in a vertical 
pipe with upwards flow 

The LED is off  

Not enough current from the power 
supply 

Change the power supply 

The analog output gives 
always 4 mA or 20 mA

 

Current output range not properly 
programmed

 

Program the range properly (see 
page 25) 

The analog output gives 
always 0 mA 

Cable disconnected 

Check the cable connection
