Why is the output signal unstable on my Voith Transmitter?
If the output signal of your Voith Transmitter is unstable, first try increasing the damping until the signal stabilizes. If heavy vibrations in the pulp line are causing the signal drift, address the vibrations as soon as possible.
Why does the Voith Transmitter output signal vary with flow changes?
If the output signal of your Voith Transmitter changes with flow variations, first check if the transmitter is installed correctly according to the Installation Engineering Guide. Pay attention to the turbulence damping zone length after the pump and ensure the connection piece length is suitable for the consistency. If the installation is correct, the torque shaft might not be properly located, changing position with pressure fluctuations. In this case, the transmitter needs to be tested in a pressurized, water-filled test vessel. Contact BTG Service for further assistance. It is also possible that the position of the torque wheel changes somewhat when pressure changes, in this case contact BTG Service for assistance.
How to improve calibration precision on a Voith Transmitter?
If your Voith Transmitter calibration lacks precision, first ensure that Sample 1 (Feedback in water) is activated. Perform a new lab calibration. If it's hard to get good lab samples, perform a basic calibration using pre-defined constants. Select the pulp type and check the output from the transmitter, then adjust by inputting an offset.
How to fix low correlation factor in Voith Transmitter calibration?
If the calibration of your Voith Transmitter lacks precision due to a low correlation factor, start by checking the sampling equipment and the quality of sampling methods. Identify and deactivate any calibration samples that deviate significantly from the lab values. Perform a new calibration, ensuring the correlation factor exceeds 0.7. Also, check that Feedback in air value is within 10-20% (with sensor, propeller and mechanical seal mounted) and if not, contact BTG service assistance.
What to do if Voith Transmitter measurement has poor correlation to lab samples?
If the measurement from your Voith Transmitter has a poor correlation to lab samples, and consistency can vary, it is recommended that you add additional samples covering the entire calibration range. Then perform a new lab calibration.
Why is my Voith BTG MEK-3000 insensitive to consistency variations?
If your Voith Transmitter is insensitive to consistency variations, try changing the sensing element to a larger model. If the problem persists contact BTG Service for further assistance.
How to improve Voith BTG MEK-3000 Transmitter calibration precision outside normal range?
If the calibration of your Voith Transmitter lacks precision outside the normal working range, take additional calibration samples, ensuring they cover as much of the measuring range as possible.
How to fix cracked metal bellows on Voith BTG MEK-3000 Transmitter?
If the metal bellows of the mechanical seal on your Voith Transmitter are cracked, replace the mechanical seal. Contact BTG Service if this issue recurs quickly.
What to do if Voith BTG MEK-3000 Transmitter signal is unstable after sensor card change?
If the output signal of your Voith Transmitter is unstable after changing the sensor card, contact BTG Service for assistance.
How to resolve unstable signal level on Voith BTG MEK-3000 Transmitter?
If your Voith Transmitter shows an unstable signal level, contact BTG Service for assistance.
