Extended diagnostic functions 
 
Overview 
 
Note 
•  The extended diagnostic functions are only available on the 
ProcessMaster FEP630 and HygienicMaster FEH630 if the 
‘Extended diagnostic functions’ software package has been 
ordered (see table) . 
•  The ‘Partial Filling Detector’ function is not available for 
HygienicMaster FEH630. 
•  To facilitate initial commissioning, the individual diagnosis 
options of the extended diagnostic functions are deactivated 
(factory default). 
•  Each diagnostic function (e.g. Gas Bubble Detector or 
Electrode Deposit Detector) can be individually activated. 
Once activated, the diagnostic function must be calibrated 
according to the conditions on site and the limit values must 
be set.

Detection of partial filling 
A partially filled sensor influences the measured values of the 
flow meter as well as the measuring accuracy. 
If the flowmeter sensor is ordered with a full pipe detection 
electrode located at the top of the flowmeter sensor, the 
function ‘...Diagnosis Tfe’ of the transmitter triggers an alarm 
when the meter tube goes into partial filling. 
 
Requirements for use: 
•  Nominal diameter: > DN 50 (> 2 in) 
•  Flowmeter sensor Design Level A 
•  Conductivity of the measuring medium: 
20 to 20000 μS/cm 
 
Installation conditions: 
•  The flow sensor must be installed horizontally with the 
terminal box pointing upwards. 
 
 
Setup 
The partial filling detection must be matched to the measuring 
medium on site.
