5 Troubleshooting and service
5.1 General
For a correct analysis of the proper operation of an instrument it is recommended to remove the unit from the process line and
check it without applying fluid supply pressure. In case the unit is dirty or clogged, this can be ascertained immediately by loosening
the fittings and inspecting visually.
Energizing or de-energizing of the instrument indicates whether there is an electronic failure. After energizing, fluid pressure is to
be applied in order to check behaviour. If there should be suspicion of leakage, do not disassemble the sensor for inspection but
contact your local distributor for service or repairs.
5.2 LED indication
The red LED on the instrument gives error or warning information.
Critical error message.
A serious error occurred in the instrument.

5.3 Troubleshooting summary general
Check power supply and hook-up
Check cable connection and hook-up.
Check status of LEDs (see manual 9.17.023)
Cable damaged or hooked-up incorrectly
Check and compare signals at both ends of
cable.
PC-board damaged due to long lasting
shortage and/or high-voltage peaks
No or too low inlet pressure
Open shut-off at inlet and outlet
Supply pressure too high, or differential
pressure across meter too high
Output signal much lower than
setpoint signal or desired flow
Incorrect type of fluid or too low inlet
pressure
Test instrument on conditions for which it
was designed
Oscillation / Signal noise
Pressure regulator of supply pressure is
oscillating or wrong sized
Replace pressure regulator
Small flow indication when flow
is definetly zero
Increased zero reading without flow
caused by raised zero-point
Perform an auto-zero action
Occupied or wrong bus address
Change address with software
