6.4  Error messages
Error message
Cause
Measure
No Signal
No signal from vortex amplifier
Check connector
In the event of measuring sensor 
problems contact service.
Low freq
Sample frequency too low
Contact service.
High Freq
Sample frequency too high
Contact service.
Low Flow
Flow rate less than the set minimum 
flow rate q
min
Signal converter continues to display the 
current flow rate but the accuracy of the 
measurement may be affected.
Q too high
Flow rate higher than the set maximum 
flow rate  q
max
Corrective measures depend on the 
application!
If the flow rate exceeds the maximum 
value, the measuring sensor may be 
physically damaged.
Inv. Config.
Invalid configuration data in FRAM 
(permanent memory)
Check entire configuration!
Contact service if error message 
persists.
Amp. Fail
Error in the pre-amplifier stage
Contact service.
Chk. Instal.
Quality of the vortex signal too poor
1. Check q
min
2. Excessive pipe vibration and faulty 
flow profile
Low Signal
Amplitude of vortex signal is too low
1. q
min
 ok?
2. If q
min
 OK, contact service
Hi. Signal
Amplitude of vortex signal is too high
Occurs with media of high density
1. Check q
max
2.If q
max
 OK, contact service
L.Temp.Phy
Operating temperature lower than 
specified
Take corrective measures within 
process.
H.Temp.Phy
Operating temperature higher than 
specified
Take corrective measures within 
process as quickly as possible, 
otherwise both the measuring sensor 
and the signal converter may be 
damaged.
Hi.P.Phys 
Pressure higher than specified
Tsens Shrt.
Temperature sensor short circuit
Shows error at temperature sensor!
Contact service.
Tsens Open
Open temperature sensor
P. Sen. Fail
Faulty pressure sensor
Displays error at pressure sensor!
Contact service.
