CT

Name

:

PCB Temperature

Cause

:

The temperature detected on the main circuit board of the

MFC010 is exceeding the maximum limit specified for the

electronic components fitted to it.

Action :

This error may be due to a component malfunction on the main

MFC010 circuit board, incorrect wiring or excessive process

temperatures.

Check that the process temperature is within the specified limits

of the sensor being used. The temperature history, held in

Input register No. 1004 (see section 7.4 on page 43 for details),

will indicate the maximum process temperature that has been

measured.

Check that the system is correctly connected, excessive power

input to the MFC010 could lead to increased heat build up and

subsequent component failure.

If none of the other causes above can be attributed to be the

source of the error, call a service support engineer for further

guidance.

CT

Name

:

Internal Voltage Levels

Cause

:

The Voltage levels within the main measurement circuits are

outside of normal operating limits.

Action :

No field maintenance can be performed to rectify this problem, the

MFC010 should be replaced immediately. Call a service support

engineer.

CT

Name

:

Temperature Sensor Short Circuit

Cause

:

The measurement system has detected an electrical short circuit

between its temperature input terminals, therefore temperature

measurement is not possible. The system will default to a static

temperature reading of -200°C when this error occurs, however,

internally it will use the calibration reference temperature for

measurement calculation to prevent sudden massive variation in

the mass flow or density measurements.

Action :

Check for short circuits between the Temperature sensor

connections on the back plane circuit board and between the

temperature sensor connection and the sensor case. Call

a service support engineer for further advice.

CT

Name

:

Temperature Sensor Open Circuit

Cause

:

The measurement system has detected an electrical open circuit

between its temperature input terminals, therefore temperature

measurement is not possible. The system will default to a static

temperature reading of +500°C when this error occurs, however,

internally it will use the calibration reference temperature for

measurement calculation to prevent sudden massive variation in

the mass flow or density measurements.

Action :

Call a service support engineer

CT

Name

:

MT Strain Gauge Short Circuit

Cause

:

The measurement system has detected an electrical short circuit

between its measuring tube strain gauge input terminals,

therefore strain measurement is not possible. The system will

default to a static strain reading of 0Ω when this error occurs,

however, internally it will use the calibration reference strain for

measurement calculation to prevent sudden massive variation in

the mass flow or density measurements.

Action :

Call a service support engineer
