  • Page 14: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING The LEDs are the primary indicators of meter performance. Refer to the Operations Section for LED indicating functionality. Entrained air is air bubbles suspended in the water flow. Entrained air creates errors in accuracy of ultrasonic technology meters. Recommend a maximum of 10% entrained air in the water flow. The faces of the transducers need to be clean and free of oily substances for accurate operation.
