7 Troubleshooting

7.1 General guidelines

Troubleshooting a Micro Motion flowmeter is performed in two parts:

1. Tests of wiring integrity

2. Observation of the transmitter's diagnostic tools, which include the

diagnostic LED, diagnostic messages, and fault output levels

CAUTION

During troubleshooting, the transmitter could produce

inaccurate flow signals.

Set control devices for manual operation while

troubleshooting the flowmeter.

CAUTION

Rotating the transmitter housing cover or adjustable

faceplate could cause the display to change, the

flowmeter to be zeroed, or totalizers to be reset.

Rotating the transmitter cover actuates the Scroll and

Reset knobs, which will affect the screen that is displayed,

and could zero the flowmeter or reset the transmitter flow

totalizers.

• Do not rotate the transmitter housing cover or adjust the

faceplate while RATE, TOT, or INV screens are

displayed.

• Security settings that prevent the use of scroll and reset

knobs also prevent this situation from occurring. For

information about security modes, see

Section 2.3
