signals to each other.
Response: Firstly check that all cables are connected, transducers are on the pipe
correctly with sufficient couplant on the face.
This condition could also be due to a partially empty pipe, aerated liquid, particulate
content too high or when the condition of the pipe being measured is poor.
Flow signal is poor Interpretation: This warning appears when the signal is lower than 25%.
Response: This could be due to an application problem, a poor quality pipe – see
also the conditions for No flow signal (above). Check for sufficient couplant.
