Solutions to common faults of vortex flowmeter

 

Phenomenon

Reason

Treatment Measures

The pipeline has a flow, meter without an output 1. The power supply is malfunctioning. 1. Repower or replace the power supply.
2. The power supply is not connected. 2. Turn on the power.
3. The connection cable is broken or the boundary line is wrong. 3. Rewire and check the cable.
Meter has a display but no output 1. The flow rate is too low and not in the measurement range. 1. Increase the flow rate or reselect the flow meter.
2. There is a fault in the stage of the amplifier board. 2. Replace the motherboard.
3. There is damage to the probe body. 3. Replace the probe.
4. The pipe is clogged or the sensor is stuck. 4. Reinstall the meter.
No flow but output after power on,
the stable output signal 
1. The output frequency is 50 Hz
industrial frequency interference.
1. Choose a cable with shielding and rewire
it according to the regulations.
2. The amplifier board is damaged and
generates self-excitation.
2. Replace the amplifier.
The output signal has changed 1. There is strong electrical equipment or high-frequency
interference near the flowmeter.
1. Re-select the installation location.
2. The pipeline has strong vibrations. 2. Reinforcement of the flowmeter installation
part of the pipe.
3. The magnification of the amplification board or
trigger sensitivity is too high.
3. Decrease the magnification (GB) or sensitivity
(SB) counterclockwise.
4. The pipeline valve is not completely closed
and there is leakage flow.
4. Check the valve.
Unstable flow output, selection, and
installation of extreme pipeline reasons
 1. There is a strong electrical interference signal, the instrument is not grounded,
and the flow and interference signal are superimposed.
1. Reconnect the shield ground.
2. Insufficient straight pipe section or inconsistency between the
inner diameter of the pipe and the inner diameter of the instrument.
2. Replace the installation
position again.
3. The effect of pipeline vibration. 3. Reinforce the pipeline to
reduce vibration.
4. The flow meter is installed
with different centers.
4. Reinstall the meter.
5. The fluid is a full pipe. 5. Check the fluid flow conditions in extreme
instrument installation positions.
6. The flow rate is below the lower
limit or above the upper limit.
6. Increase and decrease the flow rate or adjust the
amplifier plate filter parameters.
7. The presence of air pockets
in the fluid.
7. Install a valve downstream of the instrument
to increase the back pressure.
