The flow meter does not display when the fluid is flowing normally

1.The power cord, fuse, etc. are disconnected or have poor contact.1. Check with an ohmmeter.
2. The internal contact of the display device is poor.2. Use the method of replacing the "alternative version" to check.
3.The coil is disconnected.3. Check whether the coil is disconnected or the solder joint is de-soldered.
4. There is a fault inside the sensor flow channel.4. Remove foreign objects from the sensor and clean or replace damaged parts.


Traffic gradually decreases

1. The filter is clogged.1. Clean the filter.
2. The valve core on the sensor pipe section is loose, and the valve opening is reduced.2. Judging whether the valve core is loose or not from whether the valve handwheel adjustment is effective.
3. The sensor impeller is blocked by debris or the bearing gap enters the foreign body, and the resistance increases.3. Remove sensor to clear debris and recalibrate if necessary.

The fluid does not flow, and the flow rate display is not zero

1. The shielding of the transmission line is poorly grounded.1. Check whether the grounding is good.
2. The pipeline vibrates, and the impeller vibrates accordingly.2. Reinforce the pipeline, or install brackets before and after the sensor to prevent vibration.
3. The globe valve is not closed tightly.3. Overhaul or replace the valve.
4. The internal circuit board or electronic components of the display instrument are aging and damaged.4. Take the "short-circuit method" or check item by item to determine the source of interference and find the fault point.







There is a significant difference between the instrument display value and the empirical evaluation value

1. Internal failure of the sensor flow channel.





Find out the cause of the failure and find out the countermeasures for the specific cause.

2. The back pressure of the sensor is insufficient, resulting in cavitation, which affects the rotation of the impeller.

3. The reason for the flow of the pipeline.
4. Display the internal fault of the instrument.
5. The permanent magnet material elements in the detector will lose their magnetism over time.5. Replace the demagnetization element.
6. The actual flow through the sensor is out of specification.6. Replace the appropriate sensor.
