What does 'Clr Active Memory?' mean on Siemens Sitrans F?
The Siemens Measuring Instruments displays 'Clr Active Memory?' because you pressed and held the key during power-up. This function is used to restore operation if a severe event, like a violent power surge, disrupts the system operation.
What is 'Clr Saved Data?' on Siemens Sitrans F?
The Siemens Measuring Instruments displays 'Clr Saved Data?' only after pressing the in response to 'Clr Active Memory?'. Answering Yes to [Clr Saved Data?] will erase ALL saved data. To invoke in RS-232 serial mode, type @@@ and then press the key.
Why does Siemens Sitrans F Measuring Instruments say 'No Sites - Press '?
The Siemens Measuring Instruments displays 'No Sites - Press ' because you are trying to recall or delete a site setup when no sites are stored. To resolve this, create a site.
Why does zero point adjustment fail on Siemens Measuring Instruments?
If the zero point adjustment fails on your Siemens Measuring Instruments, verify that the flow is completely stopped before performing the zero point adjustment. Also, confirm that the path(s) being zeroed are installed properly and providing stable flow measurement. Defective sensors with excessive zero offset can also cause this issue; check the sensors (e.g., using a 'Test block').
What to do if Siemens Measuring Instruments flow rate appears frozen?
If the displayed flow rate appears to be frozen, or the display continuously reads "wait for the sensor connect" after a power cycle on your Siemens Measuring Instruments, check the SSL cable connections between the barrier module and DSL frontend module. Verify that the barrier module is fully plugged into the backplane. The barrier module may also be defective, in which case you should contact Technical Support.
How to fix 'Memory Full!' on Siemens Sitrans F Measuring Instruments?
The Siemens Measuring Instruments displays 'Memory Full!' because you're trying to save site data when the memory is full. To fix this, delete an obsolete site or clear the Datalogger memory to free up space for new data.
What to do if Siemens Measuring Instruments shows '- - -F- - - Fault Alarm'?
The Siemens Measuring Instruments displays '- - -F- - - Fault Alarm' because of a loss of signal strength (ALC) or a change of Rx signal location (Beam Blowing). You can try to recouple sensors with fresh couplant or install sensors in Direct mount mode. If the problem persists, further assistance may be needed.
Why Siemens Sitrans F Measuring Instruments displays 'Low Signal - Press '?
The 'Low Signal - Press ' error on your Siemens Measuring Instruments indicates that the receive signal level is insufficient for proper operation during the Initial Makeup. This can be due to several reasons: * Invoking [Install completed?] on an empty pipe. * Insufficient or evaporated coupling compound. * A disconnected or broken sensor cable. * The pipe needs conditioning. * Large air bubbles. * Defective or incorrectly connected sensor cables. * The Set Empty routine was performed when the pipe was not actually empty. If you correct the condition, press to resume the installation. Otherwise, press the to abort and investigate.
What does 'Invalid Setup (use Direct Mode)' mean on Siemens Measuring Instruments?
The Siemens Measuring Instruments displays 'Invalid Setup (use Direct Mode)' because the system detects invalid sensor spacing, erroneous liquid pipe parameters, or another factor preventing the completion of the Initial Makeup. This could be due to an out-of-range data entry or an invalid condition, such as overlapping sensors in Reflect Mode. If selecting Direct Mode doesn't resolve the issue, review all site setup and sensor installation choices, especially the data entered for the pipe and liquid. In Reflect Mode, if the flow meter detects that the pipe wall signal may infringe upon the liquid signal, use Direct Mode instead. Press , , , or to abort the install routine and continue programming other site data. If needed, call technical support.
Why does my Siemens Sitrans F Measuring Instruments display 'Security'?
The Siemens Measuring Instruments displays 'Security' because you are trying to change previously entered data when the security switch is in the [Disable] position or a security code has been entered. To resolve this, change the switch position to [Enable] or enter the previously set security code.
