What to do if my Seametrics Measuring Instruments display is blank?

J

If the display of your Seametrics Measuring Instruments is blank, there are a few potential causes. First, check the wiring from the power source to the meter for any incorrect connections. Use a DMM to measure the voltage where the red and black wires connect to terminal block TB2 inside the meter display head, ensuring correct polarity and a steady voltage between 9Vdc and 32Vdc. Another possibility is that the battery has not been plugged in, so ensure that the battery is properly connected. Finally, the battery may be dead, so try replacing it with a new one.

Why is the pulse/frequency output erratic on my Seametrics Measuring Instruments?

J
Juan MaciasAug 19, 2025
If the flow rate appears correct but the pulse/frequency output is erratic and/or too high in your Seametrics Measuring Instruments, it might be due to electrical noise interfering with the pulse frequency signal; try to isolate, remove, or reduce these noise sources. Another possible cause is using the wrong type of cable; make sure you are using only twisted pair cable and that both signal wires are on the same twisted pair. A grounding problem could also be the reason; improve or try a different grounding method.
