TROUBLESHOOTING
This section explains some problems that may occur when the PC200 is going to be installed, or while it is in operation.
Issue Action
Flow meter does not generate pulses Check:
• Signal selection: if the sensor generates above 150 Hz it should be connected
to high frequency input.
• Flow meter, wiring and connection of terminal connectors. See “Terminal
Connectors” on page11.
• Power supply of flow meter. See “Voltage Selection Sensor Supply” on
page11.
Flow meter generates too many pulses Check:
• Signal selection: if the sensor is a reed switch, make sure it is connected to
the low frequency input.
• Proper grounding of the PC200 and flow meter. See “Wiring the PC200” on
page11.
The passcode is unknown If the passcode is not 1234, call your supplier.
