Why is a cycle skip detected on my GE PanaFlow XMT1000 Transmitter?
A cycle skip during signal processing for measurement on your GE Transmitter is usually due to poor signal integrity. This can be caused by bubbles in the pipeline, sound absorption by very viscous fluids, or cavitation.
What causes the measured velocity to exceed programmed limits on a GE PanaFlow XMT1000 Transmitter?
If the measured velocity exceeds programmed limits on your GE Transmitter, it may be caused by incorrect programming, poor flow conditions, and/or excessive turbulence.
What causes the measured soundspeed to exceed programmed limits on a GE Transmitter?
If the measured soundspeed exceeds programmed limits on your GE Transmitter, the error may be caused by incorrect programming, poor flow conditions, or poor transducer orientation. It may also occur if signal quality is poor.
What causes the signal amplitude to exceed programmed limits on a GE PanaFlow XMT1000?
If the signal amplitude exceeds the programmed limits on your GE Transmitter, this error may occur due to high signal attenuation or amplification due to changes in fluid properties, or transducer/buffer/couplant issues.
