  • Page 20 Installing/Mounting 4.3 Mounting the sensor SITRANS FCS200 Avoid vibrations ● Make sure that any valves or pumps upstream of the sensor do not cavitate and do not send vibration into the sensor. Figure 4-5 Eliminate vibrations Avoid cross talk If operating more than one flowmeter in one or multiple interconnected pipelines there is a risk of cross talk.

  • Page 21: Connecting

    Connecting The following contains a short description of how to connect the sensor for operation with a SITRANS F C MASS 6000 or SIFLOW FC070 transmitter. Note For more information, including information about connecting the sensor to the transmitter, refer to the Operating Instructions for the respective transmitters.

  • Page 29: Troubleshooting/Faqs

    Troubleshooting/FAQs General information Incorrect and unstable measurements, especially at low flows, are typically a result of an unstable zero point due to: ● Incorrect installation ● Vibrations/Cross talk In the following a 2 steps guide to troubleshooting is provided: Step 1 Preliminary application inspection Step 2 Application improvement...

  • Page 30: Step 2: Improving The Application

    Troubleshooting/FAQs 8.3 Step 2: Improving the application Step 2: Improving the application Incorrect installation of the sensor Especially for low flow rates, i.e. flow rates less than 10% of the maximum capacity of the flowmeter, it is important that the sensor is correctly and stably installed. If the sensor is not correctly fixed in place, the zero point of the sensor will move, leading to measuring errors.
