Before connecting multiple meters via Ethernet on a hub, each meter must be configured
with a unique user- specified IP address (following the initial communication quick start
instructions in ). Assign each meter on the hub a unique IP address
withintherange192.168.135.150through192.168.135.254. The Gateway address for each
meter maybe left unconfigured as 0.0.0.0. Once a meter's IP address is configured, the
meter may be connected to the hub and accessed using that IP address.
C.2 Mechanical/electrical troubleshooting
This section is meant to assist site maintenance and operations personnel trained in the
operation of the ultrasonic flow meter and knowledgeable in basic mechanical and
electronic/ electrical troubleshooting techniques, using lap top computers as well as
digital volt/ohm meters. Great care should be taken not to "short out" a given electronic/
electrical circuit when Troubleshooting.
Mechanical/Electrical TroubleshootingTable C-1:
Problem Solution(s)
No power the unit • Check for correct voltage (AC or DC) to the input of the Field Connec-
tion Board. (See , System Wiring Diagram).
• Check the main power source for blown fuse or tripped circuit break-
er. Reference your "as built" installation drawings for your location.
• Check the fuses on the Field Connection Board. Reference fuse F1 and
F2 locations.

program
• Ensure that the meter is properly powered.
• Ensure that the computer cable is properly connected to the field
connection board (see ) for the connector and check your interface
pins (RS-485 or RS-232).
• Verify that the communication parameters of the Daniel MeterLink
program are set according to jumpers on the meter CPU board. See of
this manual for instructions on configuring communications.
• Check switch S-1 on the field connection board and ensure that it is in
the correct position (RS-485 or RS-232 communication).
Note
That S1 is located at the top left side of the board.

• Check for loose connections at the cable connectors. See .
• Check the resistance of the transducers (should be approximately 1-2
Ω).
• Problem also may be caused by a bad Acquisition board or intercon-
nect cable. See for more information.
• Check system status in Daniel MeterLink
™
, Meter|Monitor for any
flagged errors.
• Check the CPU board LEDs.
