Page 26: Common Questions And Answers
PF D650 User Manual Micronics COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The pipe vibrates. Will it affect the flow meter? Common vibration frequencies are far lower than the sonic frequencies used by the flow meter and will not normally affect accuracy or performance. However, applications where very weak Doppler signal is present (when sensitivity is adjusted to maximum and signal strength is low), accuracy may be affected by pipe vibration, or the flow meter may show readings under no-flow conditions. - Page 27 ISO 9000 or similar quality management systems may require periodic and verifiable recalibration of flow meters. PF D650 Doppler Flow Meters may be returned to Micronics for factory calibration and issue of a new NIST traceable certificate. Refer to the ‘Product Return Procedure’ section of this manual for return instructions.
