Problem
Probable Cause Try...
No analog signal at
reading device
Output stuck at 4 mA
mA signal does not
match ow rate
Break in current loop
Dead power supply
Reversed polarity
No frequency input from ow sensor
Inadequate voltage
Wrong frequency setting
Check if loop indicator light is on
Check multimeter voltage on power supply
Check polarity
Check if ow sensor rotor is turning freely
(mechanical meters only)
Check ow sensor connections
Check ow sensor polarity
Be sure terminal blocks are rmly plugged in
With ow sensor disconnected, use short wire
to repeatedly short between sensor “sig” and
“-” terminals. Output should rise.
Verify 3-second pulse output (EX meters only)
Check load vs. supply chart
Review setting procedure
Check multimeter voltage on power supply
The AO55 can be wired to either a mechanical meter or a magmeter. See
alternative congurations below.
