This mode can be used regardless of flow conditions in the sensor, or even with the sensor disconnected, and does not require the use of additional equipment.

2 FAULT FINDING Warning. Observe all safety measures (See INTRODUCTION). Take all precautions to avoid risk to personnel, plant and risk of explosion in hazardous areas. Do NOT open the transmitter main casing. There are no user serviceable parts or adjustments inside. Service access is restricted to the termination area Should the MagMaster fail to operate, first check the power supply, then the power supply connections and fuse located in the termination area. If necessary, replace the fuse with one of the correct rating as listed in Book 6. Note. All approved versions to use specified fuses see Book 6. Check that all external connections are made correctly. 2.2 Test Mode To access the Test Mode, connect a terminal device to the Programming Connector as described in APPENDIX A Section. Select Engineer security level (see Configuration Section). Set Test Mode parameter to 1 and enter an appropriate flow rate in the Test Flow parameter. Output responses may now be viewed from the various Test parameters. (See Configuration Section for full details of operation.) Warning. Refer to Safety Measures if a data terminal is to be used to diagnose faults in hazardous locations. 2.1 Alarms The transmitter has built in diagnostics with alarm indication which interrupts the transmitter local display. A data terminal connected to the transmitter will display these alarms in Read Alm parameter; 16 from Main Menu (see Warning in next column). The table below shows possible alarm indications and Fig. 2.1 Fault Finding Flow Chart indicates checking procedures to find the problems causing the alarms.

See Menu 'C' Mtsnsr Check Connections against drawings in the Manual. Ensure black anti-microphonic screens have been removed. Mtsnsr Mtsnsr Dirty Electrodes? Is the pipe full? Test for fouled Electrodes: If flow is at zero monitor Mtsnsr mv [A2]. If value is > 50 then electrodes o.k. If flow present use an ANALOGUE meter to measure resistance to Earth from SIG1/SIG2. Value < 50 kohms. (for water). Mtsnsr will be displayed if voltage between DS1 & DS2 > 1 Volt. If so, clean electrodes Short circuit SIG1 & SIG2 to SIGGND at Transmitter. If alarm ceases move the shorting links to the Sensor terminals. Have the Black anti- microphonic screens been removed? Check connections are correct. Check cable continuity Totalizer Reset To enable Menu [73*1] Anlg ma Connect terminal and check Flow Rng [41] Modify, if necessary. Current cannot reach Full Scale - Check loop resistance < 600 ohms.

The remote equipment is compatible with the MagMaster Open Collector Output. Note: Capacitive loads may cause the output to current limit. If so, connect a 22 ohm resistor in series with the ALM terminal. Dual Current option: ALM2 = Reverse Analogue O/P. Power V If the display is not functioning then there is no power. Check power source and the MagMaster fuse. Note: D.C. MagMasters contain Red p.c.b's 3
