Check the scaling of the frequency output

If the process variable assigned to the frequency output goes to a value that would set the
frequency output to a signal below 0 Hz or above 12500 Hz, the meter will post an Output
Saturated alert for the affected output, then perform the configured fault action.

Check Frequency Output Fault Action

The Frequency Output Fault Action controls the behavior of the frequency output if the
transmitter encounters an internal fault condition. If the frequency output is reporting a
constant value, the transmitter may be in a fault condition.

Check the direction parameters

If the direction parameters are set incorrectly, flow rate may be reported as reverse when it
is actually forward, or vice versa. Totalizers and inventories may increment when they
should decrement, or vice versa.
The reported flow rate and flow totals depend on the interaction of four factors: the flow
direction arrow on the sensor, actual flow direction, the Sensor Flow Direction Arrow
parameter, the Direction parameter for the mA output or the frequency output, and the
Totalizer Direction parameter.

If there are no active fault conditions, continue troubleshooting.
Record your current process conditions.
Adjust the scaling of the frequency output.
Check the status alerts for active fault conditions.
If there are active fault conditions, the transmitter is performing correctly. If you
want to change its behavior, consider the following options:
• Change the setting of Frequency Output Fault Action.
If there are no active fault conditions, continue troubleshooting.
Ensure that Sensor Flow Direction Arrow is set correctly for your sensor installation
and your process.
Verify the configuration of mA Output Direction, Frequency Output Direction, and
Totalizer Direction.
