Why are the datalogger and backup not working on my Siemens Measuring Instruments?
P
Paul GlennSep 22, 2025
If the datalogger and backup are not working on your Siemens Measuring Instruments, and the error indicates a failed chkdsk, the SD card may have failed. Remove and try to repair the SD card in a PC. Replace the SD card if repair is unsuccessful. If the SD card is not installed, insert it and verify that the SensorFlash is recognized as being installed in menu 3.7.2.

What to do if Siemens Measuring Instruments exceeds process value tolerance?
A
ana46Aug 31, 2025
If your Siemens Measuring Instruments indicates a process value tolerance issue, it means that at least one process value has exceeded or fallen below a process tolerance limit parameter set in the device. You should check that the limit parameter settings are suitable for the application.

What does alarm code 36 on Siemens Measuring Instruments mean?
A
Alison BoyerAug 27, 2025
If your Siemens Measuring Instruments display shows no flow and the measured sound velocity is 0 m/s, accompanied by alarm code 36, it indicates that the pipe dimensions are too small for the selected sensor size or frequency. Verify the pipe dimensions, fluid selection, and sensor selection. The application may not be suitable for the purchased sensor size.

Why does Siemens Measuring Instruments show ''?
K
Kenneth RobbinsSep 23, 2025
The Siemens Measuring Instruments displays '' because you requested to output Datalogger data to the printer or Graphics screen when no Datalogger data exists, or at the end of a transmitted file. To solve this, set up the Datalogger.

Why Siemens Sitrans F Measuring Instruments displays 'Low Signal - Press '?
W
wbartonSep 23, 2025
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.

Why Siemens Sitrans F device displays 0 flow but device status is OK?
J
Jeanette SmithSep 3, 2025
If your Siemens Measuring Instruments device displays 0 flow with an OK status, it could be because the process flow value is very low compared to the device's low flow cut-off limit. To test this, check that the low flow cut off (menu 3.1.6) is set to 0. Another possible cause is mismatched sensor cables, so check that as well.

What to do if Siemens Sitrans F indicates flow with no flow in pipe?
K
Karen WilsonSep 10, 2025
If the Siemens Measuring Instruments indicates flow even when there is no flow in the pipe, ensure that the measuring pipe is full of liquid and select the empty pipe limit.

What causes Reverse Flow Limit on Siemens Measuring Instruments?
G
Gilbert GoldenSep 17, 2025
If Siemens Measuring Instruments displays 'Reverse Flow Limit', it indicates a water network failure where the non-return valve is broken. The alarm remains active until the reverse flow rate drops below the reverse flow alarm limit.
