12.13 Checking process variables
Micro Motion suggests that you make a record of the process variables listed below, under normal
operating conditions. This will help you recognize when the process variables are unusually high or
low. Record the following process variables:
• Flow rate
• Density
•Temperature
• Tube frequency
• Pickoff voltage
•Drive gain
For troubleshooting, check the process variables under both normal flow and tubes-full no-flow
conditions. Except for flow rate, you should see little or no change between flow and no-flow
conditions. If you see a significant difference, record the values and contact the Micro Motion
Customer Service Department for assistance. See Section 12.3.
Unusual values for process variables may indicate a variety of different problems. Table 12-6 lists
several possible problems and remedies.
