Force Transmit Procedure - Siemens SITRANS FUG1010 IP65 NEMA 4X Instruction Manual

Section 4

Force Transmit Procedure

This diagnostic software routine allows the user to "force" a transmitting condition that can be use to
search for an amplitude level (ALC) when Detection Fault or Low Signal alarms are present. The routine
forces the flowmeter to generate constant transmit bursts while reporting current receive signal strength
for the user. To initiate the Force Transmit function, refer to the example shown below.
1. After [Install] is selected press <ENT>. While the flowmeter is going through the drives (see menu
screen below), press the <ALT> and <MENU> keys simultaneously.

NOTE: The <ALT> and <MENU> keys must be pressed before the flowmeter scans through all
the drives, or the selection of the detection mode and the Force Transmit function must
be initiated again.
2. A typical menu screen will appear as shown below and indicate the current ALC (e.g., 50).
This ALC number indicates the current receive signal strength and can be used for further diagnostic
purposes.
