Alarms and System Status

circle-info

Bits are numbered from right to left, starting with Bit 0 on the far right. A bit value of 1 indicates an active alarm or status. Refer to the table below for system status descriptions.

Alarm A – Critical Failure

Triggered during flow sensing errors or main unit failures. The LCD backlight flashes red.

Alarm A Error Code Definition: Bits are defined from MSB (Bit 7) to LSB (Bit 0), with each bit representing the following:

Ultrasonic Sensor Communication Error

D01

Caused by a power supply issue or sensing module damage. Verify the power supply. If the error persists, return the unit for factory service.


Alarm B – Out of Specification

Used for flow beyond the set range or other conditions requiring attention. Configurable under D parameter category. The main screen LCD backlight turns solid red when active.

Alarm B Error Code Definition: Bits are defined from MSB (Bit 7) to LSB (Bit 0), with each bit representing the following:

Bit
Alarm Definition
Alarm Code
Trigger Condition

7

Dosing target reached

D16

Dosing target reached

6

Totalized flow exceeds target

D09

Totalized flow exceeds or falls below the preset target*

5

Value exceeds analog output upper limit

D12

Value exceeds the analog output upper limit

4

Value below analog output lower limit

D12

Value falls below the analog output lower limit

3

Flow velocity > 6 m/s or < –6 m/s

D13

Flow velocity > 6 m/s or < –6 m/s

2

OCT timing too slow

D14

(OCT pulse count + 1) exceeds the limit

1

Instantaneous flow above upper limit

D05

Instantaneous flow above upper limit

0

Instantaneous flow below lower limit

D05

Instantaneous flow below lower limit


Alarm – C: Maintenance Required

Used to indicate that the flowmeter requires maintenance. Configurable under the Maintenance/Diagnostic category. The main screen LCD backlight turns solid red when active.

Alarm C Error Code Definition: Bits are defined from MSB (Bit 7) to LSB (Bit 0), with each bit representing the following:

OCT Status

OCT Status

  • NC - Normally Closed (allows current flow) shows “1”

  • NO - Normally Open (no current flow) shows “0”

E01 is set to NC by default. Alarm S value = 1
