Possible remedy

 

 

 

A001

CP EEPROM Failure

Cycle power to the flowmeter.

 

 

 

 

 

The flowmeter might need service. Contact Micro Motion. See Section 1.8.

 

 

 

A002

CP RAM Failure

Cycle power to the flowmeter.

 

 

 

 

 

The flowmeter might need service. Contact Micro Motion. See Section 1.8.

 

 

 

A003

Sensor Failure

Check the test points. See Section 11.23.

 

 

 

 

 

Check the sensor coils. See Section 11.25.

 

 

 

 

 

Check wiring to sensor. See Section 11.14.2.

 

 

 

 

 

Check for slug flow. See Section 11.17.

 

 

 

 

 

Check sensor tubes.

 

 

 

A004

Temp Out of Range

Check the test points. See Section 11.23.

 

 

 

 

 

Check the sensor RTD reading(s). See Section 11.25.

 

 

 

 

 

Check wiring to sensor. See Section 11.14.2.

 

 

 

 

 

Verify flowmeter characterization. See Section 4.2.

 

 

 

 

 

Verify that process temperature is within range of sensor and transmitter.

 

 

 

 

 

Contact Micro Motion. See Section 1.8.

 

 

 

A005

Mass Flow Overrange

Check the test points. See Section 11.23.

 

 

 

 

 

Check the sensor coils. See Section 11.25.

 

 

 

 

 

Verify process.

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure that the appropriate measurement unit is configured. See

 

 

Section 11.19.

 

 

 

 

 

Verify 4 mA and 20 mA values. See Section 11.20.

 

 

 

 

 

Verify calibration factors in transmitter configuration. See Section 4.2.

 

 

 

 

 

Re-zero the transmitter.

 

 

 

A006

Characterize Meter

Check the characterization. Specifically, verify the FCF and K1 values. See

 

 

Section 4.2.

 

 

 

 

 

If the problem persists, contact Micro Motion. See Section 1.8.

 

 

 

A008

Density Out of Range

Check the test points. See Section 11.23.

 

 

 

 

 

Check the sensor coils. See Section 11.25.

 

 

 

 

 

Verify process. Check for air in the flow tubes, tubes not filled, foreign material

 

 

in tubes, or coating in tubes.

 

 

 

 

 

Verify calibration factors in transmitter configuration. See Section 4.2.

 

 

 

 

 

Perform density calibration. See Section 10.5.

 

 

 

A009

Xmtr Initializing

Allow the flowmeter to warm up. The error should disappear once the flowmeter

 

 

is ready for normal operation.

 

 

If alarm does not clear, make sure that the sensor is completely full or

 

 

completely empty. Verify sensor configuration and wiring to sensor.

 

 

 

A010

Calibration Failure

If alarm appears during a transmitter zero, ensure that there is no flow through

 

 

the sensor, then retry.

Cycle power to the flowmeter, then retry.
