3.4.2 Troubleshooting Steps
The following procedures are intended to assist fault isolation in
cases where the Built-in-Test (BIT) cannot be executed (no
ADFM wakeup for example), or the BIT determines a problem
with the sensor.
Table 3-2 Troubleshooting During Operation
Symptom
Possible Problem(s)
Action
Message: “Transducer not found”
Sensor cable connector
Cabling between Motherboard and sensor
connector of flow meter
Sensor or sensor cable
Refer to Section 3.4.4.
Message: “Recorder not found”
Recorder cable assembly
Recorder Assembly
Motherboard
Check recorder ribbon cable con-
nection to motherboard.
Replace recorder assembly.
Replace motherboard.
Message “No Command Prompt
Found”
Incorrect port settings on computer
Adjust communication port settings
on computer
Message “Cannot Open Port”
Ancillary Data VXDR, VDD1, and
VDC are outside the range listed in
section “Maintenance and Trouble-
shooting.”
Batteries or power supply
Motherboard
Replace batteries. Check power
supply.
Replace motherboard.
Transmit Test Failure
Cabling between the sensor interface board
and the ADFM rear panel sensor connec-
tor.
Connection between motherboard and sen-
sor interface board
Transducer cable or connectors
Motherboard
Verify all connections.
Replace motherboard.
Message: “Loop Test Failure.” An
occasional loop test failure may be
normal since this is a statistical
test. The percentage of loop test
failures should typically be less
than 10%.
Transducer improperly connected, or dam-
aged
High interference source
Motherboard.
Eliminate interference source
a,
or
shield transducer environment.
Perform Field Test in WinADFM
(refer to WinADFM software man-
ual).
The Correlation Magnitude at Lag 0
should be 255; at Lag 7 it should be
typically < 20. Also, the High Gain
RSSI should be typically < 65.
Otherwise it may indicate a high
source of interference.
Call the factory.
Any RAM Test failure
Motherboard
Replace motherboard
Message: “Clock Interrupt failed”
a.
It is recommended to record the values for Correlation Magnitude, High Gain RSSI, and the results of the
transmit test for later reference
