Monitoring the electrode impedance
The measurement monitors the impedance between the
measuring electrode and grounding and activates an alarm if the
impedance drops below a limit. The function is activated
together with the conductivity measurement.
Requirements for use:
• Conductivity of the measuring medium:
20 to 20000
μ
S/cm.
Additional installation conditions:
• When using plastic piping, install a grounding plate at the
front and back of the device.
• There must not be any deposits on the measuring
electrodes.
• The measuring tube must always be completely full, and
the measuring medium must have only minor deviations
in conductivity.
Measurements on the flowmeter
Coil inductance, coil current, coil resistance
The diagnosis of the coil in the sensor includes coil inductance,
current and resistance.
Flowmeter sensor temperature
The coil temperature monitoring triggers an alarm via the digital
output, if configured.
The minimum and maximum alarm value for the coil temperature
can be set.
The coil temperature is a function of the ambient temperature
and measuring medium temperature.
Compliance with the temperature specification of the sensor
liner can thus be monitored.

Transmitter monitoring
Monitoring the temperature of the electronic unit in the
transmitter triggers an alarm via the digital output, if
configured.
In the ‘...Diagnosis Values’, the current temperature as well as the
smallest and largest previously measured temperature is
displayed.
