What does it mean when the yellow light for DataLog is full on SICK Measuring Instruments?
If the SICK Measuring Instruments meter displays a yellow light indicating that a DataLog is full, this means the DataLog is configured to 'blocking' and is full of entries. To fix this, download and check the DataLog. Also, clear the DataLog. Consider reconfiguring the DataLog to 'rolling'.
What to do if the red light "Measurement valid" is on for SICK Measuring Instruments?
If the red light "Measurement valid" is on, it indicates that the measurement is invalid or the meter is in Configuration Mode. If the meter is in Configuration Mode, switch it to Operation Mode by choosing "File / Operation Mode" from the menu.
Why is the yellow light "User Warning Limit exceeded" on my SICK Measuring Instruments?
The yellow light "User Warning Limit exceeded" on SICK Measuring Instruments indicates that a User Warning Limit was exceeded. You should check the User Warnings.
What does the red light "Path failure" mean on SICK FLOWSIC600?
The red light "Path failure" on SICK Measuring Instruments indicates that one or more paths have failed.
What does the yellow light "Check request" indicate on SICK Measuring Instruments?
The yellow light "Check request" on SICK Measuring Instruments means that one or more paths have failed, or another problem affects the measurement accuracy.
What to do if connection lost during session with SICK FLOWSIC600?
If connection is lost during a session with SICK Measuring Instruments, check all cabling and hardware. Use the options in the displayed window to make MEPAFLOW600 CBM search with wider options, especially if parameters (e.g. the baudrate) may have changed.
What to do if SICK FLOWSIC600 Measuring Instruments meter is not found at initial connection?
If the SICK Measuring Instruments meter is not found at initial connection, check all cabling and hardware, including the correct installation of the adapters. Use the options in the displayed window to make MEPAFLOW600 CBM search with wider options.
What does the yellow light 'User Warning Limit exceeded' mean on SICK FLOWSIC600 Measuring Instruments?
If the SICK Measuring Instruments meter displays a yellow light indicating 'User Warning Limit exceeded', it means a User Warning Limit was exceeded. Check the User Warnings.
What to do if the SICK FLOWSIC600 show a red light for a Logbook full?
If the SICK Measuring Instruments meter displays a red light for any Logbook being full, this indicates that the logbook is configured to 'blocking' and has reached its capacity. To resolve this, download and check all logbook entries. Also, clear the meter logbook. You might also consider reconfiguring the logbook to 'rolling'. Note that if your meter is configured according to PTB requirements, a full Custody Logbook will activate the meter status 'Measurement invalid'.
What causes different speed of sound in the individual paths in SICK Measuring Instruments?
The different speed of sound in the individual paths in SICK Measuring Instruments is caused by a faulty transducer or electronic module.
