flowmeter is also changed. If valves are controlled by the output of the flowmeter, change the control
loop to manual control for the sake of safety, so that the control loop may not be affected by the
output of the flowmeter.
If you click "OK" button and the download is started, the message box (Fig. 3-91) will be displayed. It

3.11 Troubleshooting
3.11.1 If There is No Response
If there is a problem preventing communication between the PC and flowmeter when the flowmeter is
connected as described in section "3.2 Starting LinkTop and Connections", or while this application is
being used, then a message box will appear as shown in Fig. 3-96 . Click "OK" button if this happens,
then verify the following and try reconnecting as described in section "3.2 Starting LinkTop and
Connections":
Is the smart communication unit's probe or unit disconnected?
•
Is the flowmeter transmitter receiving power?
•
Is the polling address correct?
•
Fig. 3-96
3.11.2 If It is Not Possible to Connect to the Flowmeter
When connecting the flowmeter in "3.2 Starting LinkTop and Connections", a message box in Fig. 3-97
will be displayed if the transmitter is not supported by this application software. Click "OK" button and
make sure the type of connected transmitter corresponds to the applicable transmitter of the application
software, and then carry out the connection again following the section "3.2 Starting LinkTop and
Connections".

3.11.3 Input Errors
If wrong data is inputted during "Menu: Setup (Settings)" or "Menu: Diag/Service (Checking and
Adjustment)" and the communications with flowmeter transmitter are tried, an error box will appear on the
desktop as an "input error".
There are two types of input errors; wrong setting on LinkTop and wrong data sent to flowmeter
transmitter, which is evaluated as wrong setting on transmitter side.
After the setting item is inputted and "OK" button clicked, if the setting is evaluated as wrong setting
(1)
on LinkTop, the warning error box shown in Fig. 3-98 will appear. Click "OK" button and correct the
wrong input.

(2) After the setting item is input and "OK" button is clicked, if the setting is evaluated as wrong setting
on transmitter side, the warning error box shown in Fig. 3-99 will appear. Click "OK" button and
correct the wrong input.
