What to do if Sensia Measuring Instruments show no output?

  Shaun RangelAug 7, 2025
  If your Sensia Measuring Instruments aren't showing any output, there are several potential causes to investigate: * **Electrical Connections:** Begin by checking the electrical cable connections to ensure they are correct and secure. Correct them if necessary. * **Flow Verification:** Confirm that there is flow through the pipe. * **Pickup Coil:** Test the pickup coil for continuity between the pins and replace it if it's defective. * **Rotor Inspection:** Remove the meter and check if the rotor spins freely. Replace the rotor if it's frozen. Also, inspect bearings, bearing surfaces, wear washers, spacers, diffuser, and rotor hub for foreign material or wear. Clean and reassemble if no wear is found; replace worn parts and recalibrate if wear is present.

How to fix fluid delivery greater than indicated on totalizer in Sensia Measuring Instruments?
- R
  ronald48Aug 14, 2025
  If the fluid delivery is greater than indicated on the totalizer for your Sensia Measuring Instruments, it could be due to: * **Foreign Material:** Remove the meter and inspect it internally for foreign material on the rotor or bearings. Remove any foreign material found. If none is found, disassemble the meter, clean the parts, and reassemble and reinstall the meter. * **Bearing Wear:** If cleaning doesn't solve the problem, it may be due to excessive bearing wear. Replace the meter internals with a repair kit.

What to do if Sensia Measuring Instruments have fluid delivery less than indicated on totalizer?
- A
  Angela NealAug 22, 2025
  If your Sensia Measuring Instruments are showing fluid delivery that is less than indicated on the totalizer, there are a few possible causes: * **Gasification:** The liquid in the meter might be undergoing gasification. To resolve this, provide back pressure at the meter. * **Entrained Gas/Bubbles:** There might be entrained gas or bubbles in the metered liquid. Eliminate these by using an air eliminator or another acceptable method.

Why Sensia Measuring Instruments output is erratic?
- R
  Rebecca WillisAug 30, 2025
  An erratic output from Sensia Measuring Instruments may be caused by sensitivity, noise, or foreign material disturbing the fluid profile through the meter. To address this, verify the proper sensitivity setting of the electronic readout instrument, remove any intermittent noise signals, and inspect the flow straighteners for foreign material after removing the meter from the line. Also, inspect the rotor for broken blades and check the meter run for the proper length of upstream and downstream straight pipe installation.
