5 CALIBRATION

6 RELOCATING THE UNIT

7 TROUBLESHOOTING THE INSTALLATION

7.1 Incorrect pipe data

Ensuring correct pipe diameter entry is crucial for accurate separation distance in configuration.

7.2 Sensor not in contact with the pipe

Verify gel pad covers are removed and sensors are correctly positioned on the pipe with screws fully removed.

7.3 Air in the liquid/pipe

Excessive air in the system or an empty pipe can lead to insufficient conditions for meter operation.

7.4 No Gel pad or grease on the sensor

Ensure ultrasonic grease or gel pads are correctly installed on the sensor block for proper contact.

7.5 Very poor pipe condition-surface/inside

Corroded pipe surfaces or internal deposits can distort signals and affect meter performance.

7.6 Positioning

Install unit where fluid flows uniformly, away from disturbances like bends, valves, or pumps.

7.7 Flow reading when the system is closed

System isolated or pump off may show flow if zero-flow offset wasn't set during installation.

7.8 No flow reading visible when the system is active

Low flow rates may show no reading; lowering zero cut-off can help, but check for noise/instability.

7.9 Limitations with galvanised pipe

Surface roughness of galvanised pipes can affect accuracy and prevent valid flow signal acquisition.

7.10 Limitations with Mixtures

Fluid concentration variations in mixtures like Glycol/Water or Ethanol/Water can cause errors.

7.11 Limitations with composite pipes

Composite pipes show limited compatibility due to signal propagation issues, dimming or misdirection.
