Self-diagnosis error
The converter performs an operation check immediately after power is turned on and if an error is 
found, a self-diagnosis error is generated. 
If more than one error occurs at the same time, the contents of those errors will be displayed 
cyclically. The diagnosis about excitation is carried out using the internal ADC function. Therefore, 
if an error of No.6 internal ADC occurs, Excitation wire of No.4 and Excitation circuit of No.5 
cannot be diagnosed correctly. 
In addition, since the entire checking system is based on the CPU, if the CPU fails, accurate 
diagnosis and indication cannot be obtained.

INVALID TOTAL
Totalized data in the memory 
was destroyed caused by the 
entry of noise. 
(No message appears if the data 
is not displayed in an indicating 
unit of totalization.) 
The error message disappears if you press the 
reset key to clear the totalized data. 
Note 1: Diagnosis for No. 1, No.2 and No. 3 is performed only immediately after power is turned on. If any of
these errors is indicated, the converter does not start measurement operation. If these errors occur after 
power is turned on, the converter cannot detect these errors. In addition, if this happen, the indication 
and output of the converter may become uncertain. 
Note 2: Errors No. 4 to No. 6 may not be detected even if those errors cause accuracy problems because of the
characteristic variations in components constituting the circuits used for judgment standard to 
determine these errors. 
Note 3: CPU error cannot be detected. If the CPU stops, the watchdog timer resets the hardware and the
flowmeter starts again from the initial power-on condition. Depending on the condition of CPU error, 
the indication and output of the converter may become uncertain.
