!SECTION 4.0: START UP AND TROUBLESHOOTING4.1 START UP!iWhen the power is applied to the F-<strong>2500</strong> series vortex meter, alphanumeric characters willappear on the display. Initially, the meter will operate in a “TEST” mode where self diagnosticchecks are performed on the pre-amplifier <strong>and</strong> sensor circuits. Following this, configuration datais loaded from the non-volatile memory <strong>and</strong> the program advances to the measurement mode.IMPORTANT NOTEThe meter should be installed <strong>and</strong> powered for at least 15 minutes before media is allowed to flowthrough the meter.!CAUTION<strong>Flow</strong> velocity through the meter should be increased gradually until full flow is achieved.4.2 MEASUREMENT MODEIn the measurement mode, the displayindicates real-time flow, temperature <strong>and</strong>/or pressure data in the appropriate units.The top line of the display indicates thecurrent measured value. The second lineof the display indicates the programmedunits of measurement.!There are two options for displaying data inthe measurement mode. The display maybe set to automatically scroll through eachmenu page or it may be set to manually stepthrough the menu pages using the up arrowkey to advance each page. Displays operatingin the cyclic mode will advance througheach page every 6 seconds.St<strong>and</strong>ard measurement mode menu pages:!iIMPORTANT NOTEWhen measuring steam flow, condensate may form on the cool surfaces of the meter <strong>and</strong> pipingsystem when the system is started up for the first time (causing faulty measurement).1500 North Belcher Road, Clearwater, FL 33765 • Tel (727) 447-6140 • Fax (727) 442-5699 • sales@onicon.comF-<strong>2500</strong> <strong>Flow</strong> <strong>Meter</strong> Manual 11/11 - 0688-3 Page 22

4.5 TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSREPORTEDPROBLEM<strong>Flow</strong> is indicated whenno actual flow is in thepipe.POSSIBLESOLUTIONS• Mains interference due to improper earth ground connection. The protectiveearth PE terminal should be properly grounded (see page 20).• Excessive mechanical vibration in the pipe. If so, support the pipeline near themeter perpendicular to both the axis of the pipe <strong>and</strong> the axis of the bluff body.• If this problem persists at this point, contact ONICON. This problem may alsobe solved by reducing the factory set gain.Any identifiable installation issues should be corrected <strong>and</strong> any pipevibration shoud be minimized before the gain setting is changed.“CHECK INST.” erroris displayed when noflow is in the pipe.The display should normally indicate 0.0 flow rate, LOW FLOW or LOW SIGNALwhen there is no flow in the pipe. The additional CHECK INSTALL error (flowrate = 0.0 or some steady or fluctuating value) is an indication of:• Improper/inadequate earthing• Excessive pipe vibration<strong>Flow</strong> rate indicated is0.0 even with flow inthe pipe.The flow indicatedresponds to changesin the flow but theindicated value doesnot correspond to theactual flow rate. Also“CHECK INST.” Errormay appear intermittently.• The vortex sensor cable is disconnected or is not properly connected.• <strong>Flow</strong> sensor is faulty. Contact ONICON for assistance.• The meter is not properly centered on the pipeline. The axis of the meter boreshould be aligned with that of the pipe.• Gaskets at the meter are protruding into the pipe bore. The gaskets must notproject into the effective cross-section of the pipe.• Irregularities on the surface of the pipe bore. The pipe bore should be free fromirregularities at the welded joints, dirt, deposits <strong>and</strong> excessive surface roughness.• The <strong>Vortex</strong> signal is distorted due to a bi-phase medium. Bi-phase media arenot permitted. Use a moisture separator for wet steam applications to removethe moisture droplets from the steam. Use suitable filters in gas applications toremove solid particles from the flowing gas. • Incorrect angular position of themeter. Refer to Section 3.1 for the allowable mounting positions.• Insufficient upstream/downstream pipe lengths. Check that the upstream/downstream pipe lengths are of the correct minimum length as given inSection 3.1.• Error in meter factor K-Factor programming. Contact ONICON for assistance.• Check that the flow direction <strong>and</strong> the direction arrow on the meter body agree.1500 North Belcher Road, Clearwater, FL 33765 • Tel (727) 447-6140 • Fax (727) 442-5699 • sales@onicon.comF-<strong>2500</strong> <strong>Flow</strong> <strong>Meter</strong> Manual 11/11 - 0688-3 Page 25
