10 During initial powering of the FMA 1400/1500 transducer , the flow output signal will be indicating a higher than usual output. This is indication that the FMA 1400/1500 trans- ducer has not yet attained it's minim um operating temperature. This condition will automatically cancel within a f ew minutes and the transducer should e ventually [...]
