What does failure mean on Siemens Measuring Instruments?
A 'Failure' indication on your Siemens Measuring Instruments means that the output signal is invalid.
What to do if Siemens SITRANS F Measuring Instruments show 'Memory Full!'?
If your Siemens Measuring Instruments display 'Memory Full!', you should delete an obsolete site or clear the Datalogger memory. This will free up space for new data.
What happens if Siemens Measuring Instruments are out of specification?
If your Siemens Measuring Instruments are 'Out of specification', the device will still work, but output signals may be invalid.
What does a process value warning mean on Siemens SITRANS F?
If your Siemens Measuring Instruments have a 'Process value warning', it means the process value has reached a warning limit.
What does 'Detection Fault' mean on Siemens SITRANS F?
A 'Detection Fault' on Siemens Measuring Instruments means that the pipe and/or liquid conditions do not permit a receive signal that meets the flow detection standards. To resolve this, attempt to improve operating conditions by reinstalling the transducers at a different spacing offset, or even at a different location on the pipe.
What does 'Invalid Setup (use Direct Mount)' mean on Siemens SITRANS F?
The 'Invalid Setup (use Direct Mount)' message on Siemens Measuring Instruments indicates that the system has detected invalid transducer spacing, erroneous liquid/pipe parameters, or some other factor preventing it from completing the Initial Makeup. If selecting Direct Mode doesn't resolve the issue, review all site setup and transducer installation choices, especially the data entered for the pipe and liquid.
What to do if Siemens SITRANS F show 'Clr All Data?'?
If a severe event disrupts the Siemens Measuring Instruments operation and 'Clr All Data?' is displayed, use the F4 function to restore operation.
What to do if Siemens SITRANS F show 'Chan Not Setup'?
If your Siemens Measuring Instruments display 'Chan Not Setup', enable the channel [Channel Setup Channel Enable Yes]. Remember, a channel can't be enabled until its transducers are operating.
What to do if Siemens SITRANS F Measuring Instruments show 'Fill Pipe - Press [ENT]'?
If your Siemens Measuring Instruments display 'Fill Pipe - Press [ENT]', it means you should press [ENT] after filling the pipe.
What to do if Siemens Measuring Instruments show ' Empty Pipe - Press [ENT]'?
If the Siemens Measuring Instruments display ' Empty Pipe - Press [ENT]', set up the Datalogger. You'll be prompted to empty the pipe during the Actual MTY procedure. After emptying the pipe, press .
