Problem:
No error condition currently exists.
Cause:
This message appears briefly to confirm that the cause
for a previous error condition has disappeared, has
cleared or been resolved.
Action:
No action is required.
Problem:
Poor ultrasonic signal strength or the signal exceeds the
limits entered via the User Program.
Cause:
Poor signal strength may be caused by a defective cable,
preamplifier or decoupler, a flowcell problem, a defective
transducer or a problem in the electronics console. A
signal that exceeds the programmed limits is probably
caused by the entry of an improper value in the
SETUP SIGNL
Action:
Using the procedures in Chapter 3, Diagnostics, check
the components listed above. Also, check the value
programmed into the
described in the Operator's Manual.
Problem:
The sound speed exceeds the limits programmed in the
SETUP SIGNL
Cause:
The error may be caused by incorrect programming, poor
flow conditions, wrong transducer spacing or poor
coupling.
Action:
Compare the measured sound speed to tabulated nominal
values for the fluid being used and correct any
programming errors. Refer to Chapter 3, Diagnostics, to
correct any flowcell and/or transducer problems.
Problem:
The velocity exceeds the limits programmed in the
submenu of the User Program.
Cause:
This error may be caused by the entry of improper
programming data or by poor flow conditions and/or
excessive turbulence.
Action:
Make sure the actual flow rate is within the programmed
limits. See the Programming Manual for details. Refer to
Chapter 3, Diagnostics, to correct any flowcell and/or
transducer problems.
