Reading is too high or
low
• Verify that the meter is properly installed in the pipe.
• Verify that the ow direction arrow is pointing in the right direction.
• Verify correct wiring to control system (see wiring diagram).
• Conrm that the control system is programmed for correct ow range
or pulse scale factor.
• Verify that the meter cable shield is connected to earth at the control
system. Lack of proper shielding can lead to excessive noise that can
affect the ow reading.
• Verify that the meter is connected to earth.
• Check for ground loop or offset voltage:
• Disconnect analog signal input from control system and measure
analog output directly from the ow meter.
• Reconnect signal input to control system and measure the analog
signal again. Any difference between these readings indicates a
potential ground loop or offset voltage.
• Meter is being used to measure ow of a different gas or gas mix than
the meter was specied and calibrated for.
