Warning Messages
W1: CHECK SITE DATA
This message occurs when the application information has been entered incorrectly and the wrong sensors have been attached to the wrong pipe size causing the system timing to be in error. The site data needs to be checked and the instrument reprogrammed.
W2: SIGNAL TIMING POOR
Unstable signal timing or differing up/down stream times indicate that the liquid is aerated or pipe surface is of poor quality.
W5: FLOW SIGNALS POOR
This warning appears when there is a signal lower than 25%. This could be due to the application, a poor quality pipe, amongst others.
W6: mA OUT OVERANGE
The mA output is
W7: BATTERY LOW
