Message
Description
System Fault
This message indicates a hardware malfunction. The meter
will not calculate energy in this state.
Dt< Minimum
This is a warning message that the delta temperature is low.
Empty Pipe
The pipe is empty.
Flow RTD Open
The SUPPLY temperature sensor in the flow body is reading
open. The meter will not calculate energy in this state.
Flow RTD Short
The SUPPLY temperature sensor in the flow body is reading
as a short circuit. The meter will not calculate energy in this
state.
Remote RTD
Open
The remote RETURN temperature sensor is reading open. The
meter will not calculate energy in this state.
Remote RTD
Short
The remote RETURN temperature sensor is reading as a short
circuit. The meter will not calculate energy in this state.
Low Flow
The flow reading is below the minimum flow threshold of
the meter (e.g. 0.03 gpm for ½” meter). The meter will not
calculate energy in this state.
High Flow
This is a warning message that the flow reading is above the
maximum flow rate of the meter (e.g. 15 gpm for ½” meter).
