Describe the fault without changing the installation
Send the meter technology if known, model, tag and serial number, pipe size, process medium and normal flow interval. Identify the converter separately where it is remote from the sensor. Report whether the local display, transmitted reading and totaliser are all affected, or only one of them.
Include existing error codes, photographs and the time at which the problem began. Mention recent line work, a changed fluid or altered operating conditions. Site personnel should follow their approved procedure for any isolation or checks; an enquiry does not require opening a live process connection.
Establish what can be assessed
Tell RTS whether the unit can be removed, whether the sensor has contacted hazardous material and what cleaning or decontamination records are available. For a site assessment, provide access constraints and the process owner’s maintenance window. A transport or site booking follows review of the medium, condition and model.
An estimate can then distinguish an electronics fault, a damaged measuring assembly or an installation issue that needs attention by the plant team. Repair depends on the fault, compatible parts and the service route available for that model. Confirm the proposed work and costs before authorising it.
Define the return-to-service evidence
A restored display is not a flow calibration. Say whether the request needs only fault diagnosis, an agreed repair or calibration after repair. Include the fluid, flow points, units and output required for the final measurement check.
Coordinate the outage and return
Give the shutdown dates and the contact responsible for reinstalling the meter. Identify each sensor and converter as a matched set, including the return address. Ask whether the connecting cable or other accessories are required for the agreed assessment before packing the equipment.
