6.3 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
No flow signal (above). Check for sufficient couplant.
ERR:Zero cut-off! Interpretation: You have entered an out-of-range value in the Zero cutoff field
in the Options menu.
Response: Enter a valid number.
Totalizer beyond maximum! Interpretation: The totalizer has overflowed its maximum count. The counter will
roll-over and restart from zero but this message alerts you to the fact.
Response: Reset the totalizer as described in Paragraph 3.5.
PULSE ERRORS
ERR:Pulse output! Interpretation: The flow rate exceeds the capability of the pulse output – i.e. too
many pulses per second are required than can be achieved.
Response: Narrow the pulse width time or increase the volume per pulse, as
described in Paragraph 3.4.2.
ERR:Pulse volume! Interpretation: You have entered an out-of-range value in the Pulse volume
error field in the PULSE OUTPUT menu – see Paragraph 3.4.2.
Response: Enter a valid number.
ERR:Pulse width! Interpretation: You have entered an out-of-range value in the Pulse width
