Chapter 2. Error Codes and Screen Messages
2.1 Introduction
The Model GF868 ultrasonic flowmeter is a reliable, easy to maintain instrument. When properly installed and 
operated, as described in the Startup Guide, the meter provides accurate flow rate measurements with minimal user 
intervention. However, if a problem should arise with the electronics console, the transducers or the flowcell, a built-in 
error code message system greatly simplifies the troubleshooting process.
All of the possible Model GF868 error code messages are discussed in this chapter, along with the possible causes and 
the recommended actions. When an error code is generated, it will appear on the active pane of the display screen in the 
location shown in Figure 7.

Note: For a 2-Channel Model GF868, the channel number is displayed in front of the error message. Only the error 
message appears with a 1-Channel Model GF868.
If an error message appears on the display screen during operation of the Model GF868, refer to the appropriate section 
of this chapter for instructions on how to proceed.
