Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
The TransPort is a reliable instrument that is easy to maintain. It
will provide accurate flow measurement readings as long as it is
operated as described in this manual. If problems do arise with
the electronics, transducers or the flowcell, the TransPort displays
an error message specifying the possible problem. The TransPort
also has a set of diagnostic parameters to help you find and
remedy the problem.
In general, troubleshooting may be necessary if the TransPort
displays an error message, the flow readings are erratic, or you
have other reasons to doubt the accuracy of readings (for
example, readings do not agree with other flow measuring
devices connected to the same process).
This section describes error messages, diagnostic parameters, and
shows you how to isolate problems to one of the following areas:
• Electronics, including programmed values
• Flowcell, which includes the pipe and fluid
• Transducers and cables.
