Cause:
The zero point adjustment is not possible or has been
cancelled.
Remedy:
Make sure that zero point adjustment is carried out at
“zero flow” only (v = 0 m/s). → Page 112 ff.

Comment:
You may have to change or correct settings in certain parameters in order to rectify faults. The parameters outlined below are described in detail in the “Description
of Device Functions” manual.
Measured value reading fluctuates even
though flow is steady.
1. Check the fluid for presence of gas bubbles.
2. Increase the following values:
– Analog Input function block → RISING TIME
– BASIC FUNCTIONS → SYSTEM PARAMETER → CONFIGURATION → FLOW DAMPING
3. Increase the value for display damping:
HOME → USER INTERFACE → CONTROL → BASIC CONFIG. → DISPLAY DAMPING
Measured value reading shown on
display, even though the fluid is at a
standstill and the measuring tube is full.
1. Check the fluid for presence of gas bubbles.
2. Enter a value for the low flow cutoff or increase this value:
BASIC FUNCTION → PROCESS PARAMETER → CONFIGURATION → ON-VALUE LF CUTOFF
The fault cannot be rectified or some
other fault not described above has
occurred.
In these instances, please contact your
E+H service organisation.
The following options are available for tackling problems of this nature:
Request the services of an E+H service technician
If you contact our service organisation to have a service technician sent out, please be ready with the following
information:
• Brief description of the fault
• Nameplate specifications: order code and serial number → Page 11
Return devices to E+H
You can return a measuring device to Endress+Hauser for repair or calibration.
Always enclose the duly completed “Declaration of contamination” form with the flowmeter. You will find a preprinted
blank of this form at the back of this manual.
