Monitoring the grounding
The function checks for noise in the measuring signal and 
the electrical grounding of the device. While the check is in 
progress, no flow measurement can take place.
The noise / grounding check is started manually and delivers 
a ‘successful / failed’ result.
The measurements (Power Spectrum, Amplitude 1 to 4 and 
Frequency 1 to 4) will help if the noise / grounding check 
fails.
Requirements for use:
•  The sensor must be filled completely with measuring 
medium.
•  There is no flow through the sensor (close all valves, shut-
off devices etc.)
•  The sensor must be grounded (see Sensor grounding on 
page 28).
•  There may not be any deposits on the measuring 
electrodes.
Verification
Fingerprint database
The sensor and transmitter fingerprint stored in the 
SensorMemory allows you to compare the state of the 
device at the time of manufacture at the factory with the 
current state of the device at the customer site.
The check is started manually and returns a ‘successful / 
failed’ result.
If the verification is unsuccessful, troubleshooting 
information is shown on the display (parameter ‘Rslt FP 
Verification‘).
A software tool (ABB Ability SRV500) is available for 
documentation and trend analysis.
