9 ...Diagnosis / error messages
...Extended diagnostic functions
Detection of gas bubbles
Gas bubbles in the measuring medium influence the flow
measurement values and the measuring accuracy.
It is possible to issue a gas bubble alarm if the actual gas
bubble value exceeds the configured threshold.
This alarm message is shown on the display. The digital
output triggers an alarm if configured accordingly.
Requirements for use:
•
•
cm.
Installation conditions:
• The flowmeter sensor can be installed either horizontally
or vertically. Vertical installation is preferable.
Setup
The gas bubble detection must be matched to the
measuring medium on site.
Monitoring the conductivity
The conductivity of the liquid can be monitored by setting
minimum / maximum alarm thresholds.
As soon as the alarm thresholds are up-scaled, the digital
output triggers an alarm, if configured accordingly.
The conductivity is available as 4 to 20 mA output (option
card).
Requirements for use:
•
cm.
•
Installation conditions:
• The measuring electrodes must be free of coverings.
Setup
The conductivity monitoring must be matched to the
measuring medium on site.
