5.9 Troubleshooting
Although magnetic flowmeters rarely require maintenance, failures may occur when the
instrument is not operated correctly. This section describes troubleshooting procedures
where the cause of the breakdown is identified through receiver indication.

Check whether the flowtube
is filled with fluid.
Is the flowtube
full of fluid?
Remove the tube and
inspect the inside of the pipe.
Is foreign
matter adhering to
the walls?
Does the
arrow on the tube match the
flow direction?
Refer to the “Alarm Functions” in
the AXFA11, AXFA14, and AXF
Integral Flowmeter [Software
Edition] user manuals.
Perform either of the following:
a. Reinstall the flowtube in
order to make the arrow and
flow direction match.
b. Reverse the setting for the
flow direction.
Change the piping or the
mounting condition so that
the tube fills with the fluid.
Remove the foreign matter.

Contact a service center.
Check the resistance between
the flowtube’s A, B, and C
terminals using a circuit tester.
