8.2.1 Introduction
This section explains how to troubleshoot the PT900 if problems arise with the
transmitter, the fluid, the pipe, or the transducers. Indications of a possible problem
include:
• Display of an error message on the tablet 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 to the instructions in the following
sections.
8.2.2 Fluid and Pipe Problems
If preliminary troubleshooting with the Error Code messages indicates a possible
fluid or pipe problem, proceed with this section. Read the following sections
carefully to determine if the problem is indeed related to the fluid or pipe. If the
instructions in this section fail to resolve the problem, contact GE for assistance.
