Solutions to common faults in electromagnetic flowmeters

Thread Content

There is water in the pipe, but it shows zero?   a. Whether the installation is correct.   b. Flow direction during installation.   c. Interference.   d. Pipes. (Non-metallic parts lack grounding rings.) e. There is a problem with the wiring to the computer.   f. Low flow rate.   g. The electrical conductivity of the medium.   k. Reasons for backup pipes or pipe branches. Solution: Flow direction (facing the terminal block, flowing from left to right) ; If the installed pipeline is a non-metallic one, a grounding ring must be added. For low flow rates ; Increase the flow rate; if it’s not possible to increase the actual flow rate ; It is best to use a flow meter with an aperture that is slightly smaller than that of the actual pipe; this allows for the use of a reduction technique to increase the flow rate ; The conductivity of the medium must be at least 20 μs/cm; Is the digital display on the LCD showing an out-of-range value?   a. The dialing values are incorrect. b. The actual data traffic is high. c. The converter is damaged. Solution: Check the records from the time of manufacture to restore the original dialing values ; Replace the flow meter. Does the LCD digital display show a continuously decreasing value?   a. Decreased insulation performance   b. An issue with one of the integrated circuits in the converter. Solution: The coils inside the housing are not properly sealed, allowing water to enter and reducing their insulation properties. Is the on-site reading showing fluctuations, and are those fluctuations significant?   a. Installation location (the highest point of the pipeline).   b. Is there any interference in the surroundings? (Inverter: ensure that the power supply for the inverter and the flow meter is not the same.) ; Large motors, crossed or overlapping; mobile phone towers do not cause interference with flow meters. c. Unfilled pipes.   d. The non-metallic pipe is not grounded.  e. Broken wire.   f. Power-frequency interference   H. Influence of the microcomputer. Solution: 1. If it is installed at the highest point, an exhaust valve can be placed at the inlet end to release the gas ;   2. Separate the power supply and use a different one. 3. If it is a non-metallic pipe, a grounding ring must be installed to ensure proper contact between the medium and the casing
