Diagnostics 6-1
September 2004
Introduction This chapter explains how to troubleshoot the Model AT868 if
problems arise with the electronics enclosure, the flowcell, or the
transducers. Indications of a possible problem include:
• display of an error message on the LCD screen
• erratic flow readings
• readings of doubtful accuracy (i.e. readings that are not consistent
with readings from another flow measuring device connected to
the same process).
If any of the above conditions occurs, proceed with the instructions
presented in this chapter.
