• 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.
