5.9.4 Sensor Empty Check
The sensor empty check function checks whether the sensor is in the empty pipe state, and
displays an alarm if the empty pipe state is detected.
For details about the alarm and warning, refer to Subsection 5.6.1.
This information can be checked with the following parameter.

Full Full Indicates that the sensor is in the full pipe state.
Empty Empty Indicates that the sensor is in the empty pipe state.

• Ifthesensorisintheemptypipestate,outputuctuationoremptycheckalarmmayoccur.
Besuretousethemagneticowmeterbeinglledwithliquidfully.
• The empty check is determined by measuring the resistance between the electrode and the
ground.For that reason, the empty pipe state may not be detected due to the piping condition,
electrode condition, and environmental noise. In particular, note that the empty check function
maynotoperateproperlyforhigh-viscosityuidsandadhesiveuids.
• It takes 10 to 15 minutes to diagnose the empty pipe state.Other process alarms may occur
before the empty check alarm occurs after the pipe is in the empty pipe state.
5.9.5 Wiring Connection Diagnosis
The wiring connection diagnostic function diagnoses whether the signal line and the excitation
line between the remote type sensor and transmitter are correctly connected, and displays a
warning if a misconnection is detected.
Forexample,iftherearetwosets(AandB)ofremotetypesensorsandtransmitters,thisfunction
checks whether the signal line of transmitter A is misconnected to the signal terminal of sensor B,
or the excitation line of transmitter A is misconnected to the excitation terminal of sensor B.
It takes approximately 10 seconds to diagnose the wiring connection.
For details about the alarm and warning, refer to Subsection 5.6.1.
Thesettingcanbeconguredwiththefollowingparameters.
