Using The 996Psp Pipe Simulator - Siemens SITRANS F FUH1010 Series Operating Instructions Manual

Section 2
Upon the completion of the [Install] procedure, the computer should report a sonic velo-
city within the range of approximately 1350m/s to 1700 m/s (depending on the transducer size
under test). Next, check the [Diagnostic Data] menu. The [Valc %] item must be >35 for
dependable operation. Confirming these values certifies that the entire system (computer,
transducers, cables) is operating correctly. The investigation should proceed to a review of all
site conditions to locate the operating problem.
