Warning and Status Messages

FLOW RATE ERRORS

ERR:No flow signal

Interpretation: This message appears when the transducers cannot send or receive
signals to each other.

Response: Check that all cables are connected, transducers are on the pipe
correctly with sufficient couplant on the face.
This condition could also be due to a partially empty pipe, aerated liquid, particulate
content too high or when the condition of the pipe being measured is poor.

Flow signal is poor

Interpretation: This warning appears when the signal is lower than 25%.

Response: This could be due to an application problem, a poor quality pipe – see
also the conditions for
