time constant.
• Clean the electrodes.
Flow rate exceeds the ow
range
• Check the ow range setting and make sure it is set
to match the detector and process ow. If not, set
an appropriate RANGE.
• Check that the owmeter has been zeroed. If not,
calibrate the owmeter.

• Verify if the pulse weight and width are set
correctly.
• Verify the converter is correctly calibrated.
