GUIDELINES
Problems in the magnetic flowmeter system are usually indicated by
incorrect output readings from the system, error messages, or failed
tests. Consider all sources in identifying a problem in your system.
If there are problems with a new magmeter installation, see
Installation Check and Guide on page 2-16 for a quick guide to solve
the most common installation problems.
If an existing system is experiencing problems, use the following
procedures or call your service representative.
1. Consider symptoms for basic troubleshooting in
Table 5-1 on page 5-2.
2. Consider symptoms for advanced troubleshooting in Table 5-2 on
page 5-3.
3. Run the software tests, page 5-5.
4. Perform the flowtube tests to see if flowtube must be removed
from the process line.
5. Process-generated noise can create unwanted signal instability.
Consult Process Noise on page 5-7.
6. Verify the wire shielding between flowtube and transmitter.
7. If the problem persists, contact your sales or service
representative.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury:
Installation and servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only.
Performing any servicing other than that contained in this manual may result in death
or serious injury. Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the
