| Output fluctuates excessively beyond the estimated flow rate range. | • Verify that the detector is properly grounded. • Verify that the converter is properly grounded. • Verify that the damping time constant is set correctly. If not, set an appropriate damping time constant. • Clean the electrodes. |
| Flow rate exceeds the flow range | • Check the flow range setting and make sure it is set to match the detector and process flow. If not, set an appropriate RANGE. • Check that the flowmeter has been zeroed. If not, calibrate the flowmeter. |
| Output exceeds 100%. | • Verify that the set range is set correctly. • Verify that the span is set correctly. • Verify that the zero point is correctly adjusted. • Verify that the converter is correctly calibrated. |
| Output remains 0%. | • The pipe may be empty. Use the empty detection function to check. • Verify that the signal cable is correctly connected. • Verify that the valves are open on the upper and lower sides. • Verify that the span is set correctly. • Verify that the converter is set to the constant current mode. • Verify that the flow rate is not in the low flow cutoff range. |
| Output is in the fail-safe mode. | • Check the error code. |
| Pulse output is too large or too small. | • Verify if the pulse weight and width are set correctly. • Verify the converter is correctly calibrated. • Verify the pulse counter is proper. • Verify the dropout value is correctly set between 0 and 10%. |
What are the critical error codes and their solutions?
Critical problems can disrupt flowmeter operation. When a critical error occurs, an error message appears, and the flowmeter outputs the preset fail-safe value.
| Error Screen (Message) | Error | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Err-01 (EX CHECK) | EX check Error (Excitation circuit is open.) | • Check connection of terminal/wiring of X and Y. • Check if the resistance of coil is less than 50 Ω. (Coil resistance is to be checked between X and Y terminal of a detector.) • Cycle power. |
| Err-02 (ROM CHECK) | ROM check error | • Cycle power. • Replace the ROM. • Replace main card. |
| Err-03 (RAM CHECK) | RAM read after write error | • Cycle power. • Replace main card. |
| Err-04 (NUM CHECK) | NVM read after write error | • Cycle power. • Replace main card. |
| Err-05 (ADC CHECK) | ADC error / A/D change error | • Cycle power. • Replace main card. |
What are the non-critical error codes and their solutions?
Non-critical problems do not seriously disrupt operation. The flowmeter continues to output the flow rate.
| Error Screen (Message) | Error | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Err-11 (TYPE-DIA MATCHING ERROR) | Detector type and diameter do not match. | • Check the setting for the detector diameter and enter the correct diameter. |
| Err-12 (SETTING ERROR HI<LO) | High/low limit alarm error. HI < LO | • Set HI > LO. |
| Err-21 (SPAN ERROR OVER 12m/s) | The span setting is greater than 12 m/s. | • Check the SPAN setting. • Check the DIA setting. • Check the TYPE setting. • Check the DUMMY setting. |
| Err-22 (PULSE WEIGHT SETTING ERROR) | The pulse frequency is either too high or too low. | • Check the pulse weight setting. • Check the pulse frequency setting. • Check the engineering unit match span unit. |
| Err-23 (PULSE WIDTH OVER DUTY 70%) | Pulse width too large. Duty 70% or more at pulse frequency output. | • Check 1. Pulse width 2. Pulse weight and 3. Span setting |
| Err-24 (HYSTERESIS SETTING ERROR) | Hysteresis exceeding 100% of range in normal/reverse automatic range | • Check hysteresis setting. |
How do I perform an analog output check?
The analog output can be checked by using the flowmeter as a constant-current generator. The setting range is 000.0 to 115.0%.
1. Enter MAINTENANCE MODE. Use the UP or DOWN key to cycle to the “OUTPUT CHECK” screen. Touch the RIGHT SHIFT key once to move the cursor to “OFF”. Touch the UP key to switch the OFF screen to ON.
2. The screen will show `> OUTPUT CHECK I. OUT 000.0 %`. Touch the RIGHT SHIFT key to move the cursor to the percent value to be checked.
3. Use the UP or DOWN key to set the desired output value. For example, setting it to 100.0% will output 20mA.
4. Touch the RIGHT SHIFT key to move the cursor back to the “>”.
5. Use the UP or DOWN key to move to another screen. The analog output will return to the value corresponding to the measured flow rate.
Note: If no operation is done for ten minutes, the output check mode automatically finishes and returns to the Measuring mode.
How do I perform a pulse output check?
The pulse output can be checked by using the flowmeter as a pulse generator. The setting range is 000.0 to 115.0%.
1. Enter MAINTENANCE MODE. Cycle to the “OUTPUT CHECK I.OUT” screen, turn it ON, then touch the UP or DOWN key to move to the “OUTPUT P. OUT” screen.
2. The screen will show `> OUTPUT CHECK P. OUT 000.0 %`. Touch the RIGHT SHIFT key to move the cursor to the percent value.
3. Use the UP or DOWN key to set the desired value. For example, setting to 100.0% will output a pulse equivalent to the 100% flow rate.
4. Touch the RIGHT SHIFT key to move the cursor back to the “>”.
5. Use the UP or DOWN key to move to another screen. The pulse output will return to the value corresponding to the measured flow rate.
Note: If no operation is done for ten minutes, the output check mode automatically finishes and returns to the Measuring mode.
