Problem
Connected
communication line to
the flow computer but
no signal is received
Communicating with
meter but all chords
display failures
Chord is not indicating
144
Solution(s)
•
Check for loose connections at the flow meter and the flow computer
(see
3410 Series engineering
•
Check the CPU Module, Field Connection board and the Power Supply
wiring. Ensure the terminal block wiring and connectors are making
good contact.
•
Verify that the resistance of transducers is within Specification (1-2
Ω).
•
Check the Acquisition board.
•
Check the interconnect cables between the base enclosure and the
transmitter enclosure.
•
Check the resistance of the failed transducer.
•
If Chord A is not indicating, change the transducer cables from Chord
D to chord A
•
If Chord D then fails, the transducers are bad on Chord A.
•
The same test procedure can be accomplished by swapping Chords B
and C (or E and H, or F and G) if a chord fails in either chord.
Note
Note that the outside chord cables cannot be exchanged with inner chord
cables.
