Page 40: Maintenance And Cleaning
7.1 Maintenance The FLC-UFL series ultrasonic flow meter has no moving parts, and its sensors and electronics require minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection is recommended. To monitor the meter’s health status, collect a short log file of measurement and diagnostic data under known and repeatable conditions. - Page 41 Velocity of sound ratio (VoS ratio) The velocity of sound ratio is a good indicator of problems, either in the process or in the FLC-UFL series signal detection. During normal condition the ratios should be very close to 1.0. Path status (PathStatus AB and PathStatus BA) The path status diagnostic values provide a more detailed indication of the health of each path in each direction of transmission using an 8-digit number.
