13.2Troubleshooting

If a problem occurs, you may find a cause of the problem by performing the simple inspection. Before you call repair service personnel, inspect the flowmeter using the flowcharts shown below.

13.2.1 Flow rate is not indicated

START

Is the rated power supplied for		NO
each device?
	YES
	YES

Use the rated power supply for each device.

Are cables installed correctly?

YES

Isn't the fuse blown?

NO

Is the velocity range set correctly?

YES

Does the flow direction agree with the arrow mark on the detector?

YES

Contact your nearest Toshiba representative.

NO		Install the cables correctly according to
		5. “Wiring.”

YES	Replace the fuse with a new one.

NO		Set the velocity range correctly
		according to 8. “Parameter Settings.”

NO		Install the detector correctly according to
NO		4. “Installation.” In addition, set the
		direction of flow correctly according to 8.
		“Parameter Settings.”
