Why does my flow meter always show maximum flow?

Incorrect flow readings can be caused by wrong software settings, sensor contamination or moisture in the system. Regular checks help restore measurement accuracy.

Possible causes:
  • The pipe diameter or measuring range may be incorrectly set in the software.
  • Moisture or liquid water may be entering the sensor, especially in thermal mass models.
  • The sensor could be heavily contaminated with oil or particles.
Solutions:
  • Review the sensor settings in S4C-FS and correct any errors in diameter or flow range.
  • Check the compressed air system’s dew point to ensure no water condensation is reaching the sensor.
  • Inspect and clean the sensor, and make sure filters and dryers are functioning properly upstream.
