The electrodes are dirty.

Clean the electrodes (see chap.
10.3).

The electrodes are not in
contact with the fluid.

Make sure the electrodes are always
in contact with the fluid

Air bubbles appear in the

"flow zero" point.

Respect the calibration procedure
(see chap. 9.7).

The flow rate fluctuations
are very important.

Select the "slow" filter (see chap.
