mass flow meter troubleshooting

Troubles Reasons Removing
Value of dp is not steady Installation was incorrectness Install again follow 5.1
DP is sometimes big
or small
Setting Zero was of no effect Check-up connection between the
transmitter and the sensor
Display “Vibration Stops” Bad connection, or dirty
inner tube
Check-up connection or
clean inner tube
Display “Density Too Low”
or density is sometimes big or small
There is gas in the tube Discharge gas or equip a
gas-liquid separator
Density has error  After installation Adjust density coeff. b
Not working
(display not changed after power on)
Power off too short, or power-cord bad contact Power off for 10 seconds,
keeping fine contact
Display minus flow Setting zero at flow, or valve close not tight after select dp-0 Do not select dp-0,
setting zero follow this manual
No communication signal
on upper computer
Check-up connecting lines
was not broken
Exchange A, B connection
Communication of upper compute sometimes mistake Program of communication
is good
Change a good RS232/485
converter

Testing parameters for normal sensor:

Driving coil (1-2 pins): resistance: <50Ω; ac voltage: 1V±0.5V.

Testing coils (3-4 or 5-4 pins): resistance: <100Ω; ac voltage: 0.5V±0.3V.

Temperature resistance: (7-8 pins): 100Ω±10Ω (when 0℃), coefficient ≈ 0.38Ω / ℃.

Temperature resistance: (6-7 or 8-9 pins): 0Ω±2Ω

Attentions and maintenance

The lifetime of the meter is relative to care and maintenance.

To extend the lifetime of the mass flow meter, should care and maintain best as follows:

(1) Keep clean for sensors and transmitters; do not put transmitters in dusty place.

(2) Move sensors and transmitters gently, do not throw or break.

(3) Should rinse inner tubes of the sensor periodically, shorten the clean period for glutinous fluid.

(4) Examine and repair regularly. Periodically calibrate by the metrology department for nicety measurement customers.
