determine the appropriate course of action. Begin by reviewing the SMART Meter
Verification results to determine the specific test that failed.
Table 9-6. Troubleshooting the SMART Meter Verification Diagnostic
Test Potential cause Corrective action
Transmitter
Verification
Test
•Unstable flow reading during the
test
•Noise in the process
•Transmitter drift
•Faulty electronics
•Rerun SMART Meter Verification (8714i) under No Flow
conditions.
•Check the transmitter calibration with the 8714D
Calibration Standard.
•Perform a digital trim.
•Replace the electronics stack.
Sensor
Calibration
Verification
•Moisture in the sensor terminal
block
•Calibration shift caused by heat
cycling or vibration
•Rerun SMART Meter Verification (8714i).
•Perform the sensor checks detailed in “Sensor” on
page 158.
•Remove the sensor and send back for evaluation and/or
recalibration.
Coil Circuit
Health
•Moisture in the sensor terminal
