POSSIBLE CAUSES:
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
NO FLOW INDICATION
Not enough suspended particles or gases in the
fluid
 Relocate sensor in more turbulent pipe
section.
 Mount sensor at 12 o'clock position on
horizontal pipe
Coupling compound washed out, or sensor loose
on pipe
 Remount sensor
 Use Super Lube ®
Power interruption. No flow.
 Check fuse/breaker. Confirm flow
METER READING TOO HIGH
Calibration error
 Review UNITS/MODE menu and Pipe ID
Pipe is not full
 Remount Sensor on vertical pipe
Nearby velocity increasing device (pump, valve,
orifice plate)
 Relocate sensor >30 pipe diameters from
velocity increasing device
Local electrical noise
 Ensure all Flowmeter wiring is in METAL
conduit and sensor cable shield is connected
to Ground stud
Variable Speed Drive interference
 Follow Drive manufacturers wiring and
Grounding instructions
 Relocate Flowmeter electronics, Sensor and
wiring away from VSD
METER READING DOES NOT TRACK FLOW
Sensor and GND wires reversed or not properly
connected
 Check Sensor connections
Improper AC power input Ground
 Use direct connection with 12 AWG wire to
nearest Ground pole (<1 ohm resistance).
