...Extended diagnostic functions
Monitoring the electrode impedance
The measurement monitors the impedance between the
measuring electrode and grounding and activates an alarm
if the impedance drops below a limit. The function is
activated together with the conductivity measurement.
Requirements for use:
•
cm.
Additional installation conditions:
• When using plastic piping, install a grounding plate at the
front and back of the device.
• There must not be any deposits on the measuring elec-
trodes.
• The measuring tube must always be completely full, and
the measuring medium must have only minor deviations in
conductivity.
Measurements on the flowmeter
Coil inductance, coil current, coil resistance
The diagnosis of the coil in the sensor includes coil
inductance, current and resistance.
Flowmeter sensor temperature
The coil temperature monitoring triggers an alarm via the
digital output, if configured.
The minimum and maximum alarm value for the coil
temperature can be set.
The coil temperature is a function of the ambient
temperature and measuring medium temperature.
Compliance with the temperature specification of the
sensor liner can thus be monitored.
Setup
Transmitter monitoring
Monitoring the temperature of the electronic unit in the
transmitter triggers an alarm via the digital output, if
configured.
In the ‘...Diagnosis Values’, the current temperature as well
as the smallest and largest previously measured
temperature is displayed.
