The unique inbuilt diagnostics

The inbuilt diagnostics not only fulfil the NAMUR guidelines, they exceed them by far. The new converter can check and detect whether it is still within its specifications or has been correctly installed.
The 3 x 100% diagnostics consist of:

100% Applications Diagnostics

A working group led by NAMUR - consisting of representatives and users - analysed all measuring technologies. They defined for each one the application problems that an optimum meter would be able to detect.

The indications given by OPTIFLUX together with a possible exclusion diagnosis by the user will certainly help you to conclude what the problem is in the application.

100% Out-of-spec Diagnostics

The OPTIFLUX checks periodically whether it is still working to within its specifications.
The following is checked:

	the accuracy by internally feeding in a test signal
	the linearity of the meter
	the accuracy of the field current used to generate the magnetic field

The test results can be viewed at any time using HART and KROHNE?s new PACTware tool, and the diagnostic results can be printed out. There is no longer any need for time-consuming test measurements.

100% Meter Diagnostics

Diagnostics normally refers to the meters diagnostics, which in the case of OPTIFLUX covers all these items:

	Microprocessor test
	Software test
	Memory test
	Electronics? temperature test
	Output tests for interruption, and the correct load

The OPTIFLUX vitality check
Fulfils and even exeeds the VDI/VDE/NAMUR - Guideline 2650

	External magnetic fields
	Short-circuited electrodes
	Partial filling
	Change in flow profile
	Change in conductivity
