4.4.2 Checking the signal acceptance rate
▸
When the equipment is in operation and a flow rate is available, open the tile “Meter
values” in menu “Diagnostics” in the FLOWgate™ operating software.
▸
Check the signal acceptance rate (Sign. Acceptance Rate). The signal acceptance rate
should be at least 75% on all paths. The signal acceptance rate may be significantly
lower when the velocity of gas is above 30 m/s (100 ft/s).
4.4.3 Zero phase check
▸
Open the tile “Signal View” tile in the “Diagnostics” menu.
▸
Check the parameter “Phase shift” for each path (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 and 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-
4).
Properly adjusted zero phases of the individual paths are the basis for accurate measure-
ment of the ultrasonic signals‘ transit time. The “Phase shift” parameter of a path is
properly adjusted when the values are lower than 0.2. An adjustment coordinated with
SICK Service is recommended when the zero phases do not meet the specified criteria.
